EXPERIMENTS WITH BARLEY. 



The different varieties of barley were sown May 11. The soil was of a clay loam 

 character, and was previously in corn. It was manured for this crop in the spring of 

 1900, with 30 one-horse cart loads of stable manure per acre. After the corn crop was 

 removed in the fall of 1900, it was ploughed, and before seeding to grain this spring 

 it was worked up by going over it twice with the springtooth and once with the smooth- 

 ing harrows. 



Thirty varieties of six-rowed and twenty-two varieties of two-rowed sorts were 

 sown. The seed was sown with the Wisner seed drill at the rate of two bushels per 

 acre. The land was also seeded down to timothy and clover at the rate of 3 pounds 

 alsike, 7 pounds mammoth red clover, and 12 pounds timothy per acre. No fertilizers 

 of any sort were used with this grain. The plots were one-fortieth acre each. 



The majority of the plots had smut in them, but in every case the injury from this 

 cause was slight. The straw was stiff, and stood up well. It was free from rust. The 

 following results were obtained from these test plots : —
