COMPARISON OF NINE VARIETIES FOR FIVE YEARS. 



Following will be found the average number of days maturing and average yield 

 for the past five years of nine varieties of barley. These were grown for the most part 

 in field lots on fallow, but in one or two cases, where the varieties were not grown 

 under these conditions, the yields of tlie uniform tests were taken, or yields of field 

 plots gi'own on stubble or sod, in order to get figures for the five years.
