EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



2-3 EDWARD Vli., A. 1903 



EXPERIMENTS WITH BARLEY. 



Fifty-one varieties of barley wei-e under trial in 1902. Twenty-one of these were 

 two-rowed sorts and thirty six-rowed. They were all sown at the rate of two bushels 

 per acre on April 19 on plots of one-fortieth acre each. The land was adjoining that on 

 which the oats were sown and was of similar character. This crop was also troubled 

 with a considerable quantity of fern growth, hence the yield of straw is not given. The 

 Barleys were all free from rust and smut.
