BARLEY. 



Ten varieties of six-row and five of two-row barley were tested in 1915. The seed 

 was sown at the rate of 3 bushels per acre on black loam land that had grown roots in 

 1014. Seed was sown April 13, and cutting of the plots was done from August 10 to 

 August 21. Only the named sorts are here reported upon. One of the new varieties, 

 not yet named, yielded at the rate of over 63 bushels per acre.
