KENTVILLE, NOVA SCOTL4 
At Kentville, Nova Scotia, only two varieties were reported tested before 1915. 
During the years 1914 and 1915, as shown in Table 3, iManchurian (C. I. No. 739) 
proved to be slightly better than Canadian Thorpe (C. I. No. 740). A test of 
only two years is of little significance; but here, as at Nappan, the iManchurian 
was superior to Canadian Thorpe.

FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK 
Five barleys were grown at Fredericton, New Brunswick, in 1915. The 
yields are reported in Table 4. Four of the varieties were introduced into 
experiment-station tests in recent years. The best of the five was Gold (C. I. 
No. 1145). Second in vicld came O. A. C, 21 (C. I. No. 147C), while Early 
Chevalier (C. I. No. 2725), Manchurian (C. I. No. 739), and Canadian Thorpe 
(C. I. No. 740), were third, fourth, and fifth, respectively.
