EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



9-10 EDWARD VII., A. 1910 

 EXPERIMENTS WITH BARLEY. 



' The barley tests in plots and field lots were, as a rule, satisfactory. All were too 

 far advanced in July to be injured to any great extent by the hot weather, but it is 

 quite possible that without the heat the yield might have been larger. 



Having little rain or dew after harvest, the sample in most cases is bright in 

 colour and plump. 



Uniform Plot Tests. 



In this test, 14 varieties of six-rowed and 11 varieties of two-rowed barley were 

 sown on May 5, at the rate of 2 bushels of seed per acre. Soil, clay loam fallowed the 

 previous year. All the plots were one-twentieth acre in size.
