REPORT OF MR. THOMAS A. SHARPE 



403 



SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 



treated, as in former years, witli formaldehyde, and there was no smut or rust on this 

 crop. The weather was very dry and hot when the grain was ripening, which hastened 

 the maturing a little, but the sample was very fair and bright. 



Thirteen varieties of six-rowed, and eleven varieties of two-rowed barley were 

 sown in this series of plots. All were sown April 10.
