EECOMMENDED VARIETIES OF SIX-ROW BARLEY. 



Among the most productive six-row barleys are Manchurian and Odessa. Man- 

 churian is a selection from Mensury. O.A.C. No. 21 is also a very good selection, 

 similar in character to Manchurian. Triumph and Black Japan, which stand at the 

 head of the list in last season's trials, have not yet been under test long enough to 

 determine their exact value. 



The beardless (or " hooded ") types of barley at present available in commerce 

 are not very satisfactory. Success and Champion are two of the best kinds. They are 

 both early in ripening; but their straw is not very strong, and they generally give 

 rather a small yield. 



The common sorts of hulless barley are Hulless White (beardless) and Ilulless 

 Black (bearded). These are characterised by weak straw. 



It is expected tlaat some of the new cross-bred beardless and hulless types will 

 prove more satisfactory than any of the older varieties.
