EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 



Two hundred and twentv-eight varieties of barley were sown in the regular plots 

 last season. The grain was sown at the rate of about two bushels per acre, when the 

 seeds were large, and one and a half bushels when the seeds were very small. The 

 sowing of the plots was begun on the 30th of April and finished on the 11th of May. 

 This extended (but unavoidable) period of seeding, renders very difficult the inter- 

 pretation of the results obtained. 



The highest yield was at the rate of 75 bushels 30 pounds per acre, and the lowest 

 21 bushels 42 pounds. 



Those sorts which have a letter or an Ottawa number after the name are new 

 varieties or selections produced by the Dominion Cerealist.
