EXPEKIMENTS WITH BAELEY. 



Twenty-four varieties of barley were sown (thirteen of six-rowed and eleven of 

 two-rowed), in uniform test plots of one-fortieth acre each. The land was a clay loam 

 on which turnips were grown the previous year (1907), for which crop twenty-five 

 loads of barn-yard manure per acre were used. No manure or other fertilizer was used 

 for this crop. The land was ploughed in the fall of 1907, thoroughly worked up in 

 the spring, and sown May 21, with seed selected from picked heads of the previous 

 year's crop, sown at the rate of 2 -bushels per acre. 



Seven pounds Mammoth Red clover, 3 lbs. Alsike clover and 12 lbs. Timothy 

 seed per acre was sown at the same time. Slight smut was noticeable.
