BARLEY. 



Fifteen varieties of barley were sown on uniform trial plots. These wore seeded 

 on April 26. 



Unfortunately, the yield of Early Indian for 1912 cannot be given. This is the 

 earliest of all the barleys, is very short in the straw, and in 1911 gave very poor re- 

 sults. In 1912, however, the crop was more promising, but just before harvest it 

 was almost totally destroyed by crows, which prevents the possibility of our giving 

 the yield. If the yield of Early Indian can be shown to be nearly up to that of other 

 varieties it will be a great boon to the northern climates, and to those conditions 

 where late sowing is a necessity.
