about 1824 and settled in New Brunswick. He had inherited from his mother a congenital white lock of 

 members of the family, squares representing men and circles women. When the symbol is black, it indicates 

 iclosing a number have been used to designate several fraternities of unaffected individuals; the number 

 Doys and a similar numeral below those who were girls. Further for the sake of brevity, the exact nature of the 

 black symbol, it is to be understood that the mating was between a person possessing the lock (dominant) and 

 neans that an unaffected, or recessive, person married a similar person, the mating (RR) therefore being

Breeding Hardy Winter Barley 



Until now, winter barley has not been a success north of the Ohio river, as all 

 previously existing varieties were killed by hard winters. The Michigan Experi- 

 ment Station has three winter barleys that successfully passed the severe winter 

 of 1911-12 and one of these is being increased at the Upper Peninsula Station at 

 Chatham. It has done well there, and this fact seems to indicate that these 

 varieties may extend the winter barley belt to Lake Superior. 



The two winter barleys that were increased at East Lansing in 1914 were ripe 

 on June 24, or three weeks earHer than the earliest spring barley. During the 

 seasons of 1913-14, these two strains have averaged 55.4 bushels. The average 

 production of barley in Michigan is set at 25 bushels by the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture. If generally grown, these wnnter barleys may double the average 

 yield of barley in the state. Compared with oats on the basis of pounds of grain 

 per acre, 55.4 bushels of barley equals 83.1 bushels of oats.
