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.
