EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 



BAKLEY— TWO-ROW. 



In the variety te§ts of this type there were nine sorts. The plots were one- 

 fortieth of an acre in size and the hand had been summer-fallowed the previous year. 

 These had a tendency to produce a long weak straw which lodged badly with the wind. 

 The seed was sown at the rate of 2 bushels per acre on May 2, and the crop was 

 harvested between August tlie 5th and 13th. 



Two-row B.vrley. — Test of Varieties. 



BARLEY— FIELD LOTS— TEST OF VARIETIES. 



Field tests were made of two six-row and one two-row varieties. The seed was 

 sown on April 30 and May 1, and the crop was harvested on August 13 and 14. 

 Manchurian is a very promising barley, but shelled badly with the wind storms.
