EXPERIMENTS WITH BARLEY. 



Both the test plots and fields of barley were sown on timothy sod ploughed 

 after the hay was cut in 1909. The yields on the plots as well as from the fields were 

 satisfactory. Seed was sown at the rate of about two and one-quarter bushels of 

 six-row and two and one-half bushels per acre of the two-row varieties. The soil 

 was a black clay loam with a claj' sub-soil similar to that on which the other tests 

 were conducted. All varieties were sown on April 12, and the field lots on April 20.

BARLEY — DATES OF SOWING. 



Mensury and Invincible barleys were sown at intervals of one week commencing 

 March 31 and continuing to May 12. Because of the late rains and the fact that frost 

 did not interfere with the maturing of the late-sown seed, the latest sown plots gave
