2 This variety is distinct from the. fi-rowed hooded hulled variety commonly known as Success, for which 

 the name Horsford is preferable. 



3 Yields in bushels of 60 pounds; yields of other varieties in bushels of 48 pounds. 



The annual and average yields, the average dates of heading and 

 ripening, height, yield per acre, and weight per bushel of these six 

 varieties are shown 



in Table XVI. In 

 this table the varie- 



t ies are arranged av- 

 cording to their aver- 

 age yields for the 7- 

 year period. These,

 10. Figure ll shows heads of representative varieties of three dif- 

 ferent groups of barley grown al Williston.
