♦Sparrows did considerable damage to Daubeney Oats, as it ripened first: 5 per cent damage allowed.

experiment:s with barley. 



The plots of barley, from the standpoint of uniformity of stand, were the very 

 finest we hare grown at tliis station. They were greatly admired by the thousands 

 of visitors who visited the station at the time they were ripening. The tables given 

 below show that their opinion was justified. These plots were all practically ripe 

 at the same time, though there were a few of the two-row varieties three days behind 

 the others. The Old Island two-row is probably English Chevalier that was imported 

 to the province many years ago. One of the very fine features of this barley is the 

 fact that it sheds almost all of its beards in the field, this strain having been selected 

 with reference to that character at this station.
