EXPERIMENTS WITH BARLEY. 



Twelve varieties of barley, six each of two-row and six-row, were sown in uni- 

 form test plots of one-fortieth acre each, the land being a heavy clay loam on which 

 roots had been grown the previous year, and manure applied for that crop. This was 

 ploughed in the fall of 1911 and well worked up in the spring and was sown May 1">, 

 at the rate of two bushels per acre: 10 pounds clover and 12 pounds timothy seed 

 per acre were also sown with this crop. 



The following were the yields obtained: — 



Barley, Six-row. — Test of Varieties. 



Barley, Two-row. — Test of Varieties.
