Owing to dry weather the barley came up rather unevenly, 
but the plant filled up well subsequently after a good shower of 
rain. 
The barley was cut on plots 2, 3, and 4 on the 31st of 
August, on plot 1 on the 1st of September, and threshed on the 
12th of October, %vhen the straw and chaff were weighed in the 
field, and the corn kept in labelled bags in the granary. It was

differences on the several plots. The barley weighed from
