EXPERIMENTS WITH BARLEY. 



Experiments wore conducted in duplicate with lb' varieties of barley (S six-row 

 and 8 two-row) in plots of one-sixtieth of an acre each. They were sown on land 

 that had been in turnips the previous year without any further fertilizing. The plots 

 of six-row barley were sown on May 31 and the two-row on June 1. These plots, 

 with the exception of a few damp places, were on land somewhat more uniform in 

 character than the wheat and oat plots. A mixture of 8 pounds common red clover, 

 3 pounds Alsike, 1 pound White Dutch and 10 pounds timothy seed per acre was 

 sown on the plots and paths. The grass on all the paths about the plots was allowed 

 to grow. It was cut in July. 



The average of the duplicate plots is here given except for Albert, Nugent, 

 Beaver and Clifford. One plot of each of these was injured by damp places in the 

 plots.
