BARLEY — TEST OF VARIETIES OX PLOTS OF ^ TO 5 ACRES. 



Nine varieties were sown on fallow and one of the same varieties on Brome back- 

 setting. 



The fallow was a field of 24 acres ploughed 7 inches deep in May, 1900, and culti- 

 vated four times during the season. 



The crop of straw was enormous, and Odessa lodged badly over the entire 5 acres ; 

 while others went down in spots. 



Rennie's Improved and Common were affected by smut, which considerably de- 

 creased the yield of these two varieties.
