BARLEY. 



Five varieties of six-row and three varieties of two-row barley were sown on the 

 22nd of April, at the rate of two bushels of seed per acre, on plots of one-fortieth 

 acre each. The land was summer-fallowed the previous year. 



Two varieties of six-row, Manchurian and O. A. C. No. 21, were very fair standing 

 crops, and gave good returns. The two-row barleys, although giving the larger yields, 

 were not so desirable as the six-row, for the following reason: The two-row barleys 

 were so weak in the straw that harvesting was made a difficult operation.
