YIELDS OF BARLEY. 



Two varieties of six-row barley and one of two-row barley were sown in field 

 lots on April 30 and May 1. The crop was harvested on August 12 and 13. Mau- 

 ehurian. which is a very promising variety, would have given a considerably larger 

 yield had it not shelled so badly with the winds. This could possibly be remedied 

 to some extent by cutting the barley before it becomes quite ripe.
