i Destroyed by hail. 

 DALHART FIELD STATION. 



Persistent attempts have been made for six years to grow barley 

 at the station at Dalhart, Tex. The crop has been lost in the different 

 years by hail, drought, and soil blowing. 



In only two years have any yields been obtained. If this record 

 is indicative of average conditions, as it is believed to be, it would 

 show that spring-sown barley has no place in the farm practice of 

 this section.
