E X P K RIM E X T S WITH BARLEY. 



The barley tests in uniform plots and in field lots were quite satisfactory. 



The yield in nearly all varieties was good, and the quality better than for a good 

 many years. The straw was not extra heavy, and gave no trouble in cutting. The 

 ]?nd was summer-fallowed the previous year. 



BARLEY — TEST OF VARIETIES. 



Twelve varieties of six-row and t ten varieties of two-row barley were sown on 

 April 27, at the rate of two bushels seed per acre on plots of one-twentieth acre each.

 were not injured.
