A Sheaf of Barley 



Barley, like the other cereals, offers good opportunities for 

 the experimenter, notwithstanding the amount of work that has 

 been done with it. The amateur should understand that experiments 

 with the cereals may be made on a small scale, and that the results 

 of such experiments may be of great economic importance. The rC' 

 markable results of Professor Biffin at Cambridge, England, in 

 developing an immune variety of wheat, for example, were 

 made on very small plots of land. Interesting re- 

 sults might doubtless be secured by hybrid- 

 izing wheat and rye and barley.
