TESTS OF BARLEY VAEIETIES IN AMERICA 
43 
Similar experiments were carried on under irrigation from 1908 to 1915, 
inclusive. Varieties were grown under irrigation in 1911, for which year no 
yields were reported on dry land. The yields under irrigation are reported in 
Table 12. Most of the varieties were in the tests for a very short period, which 
makes difficult a direct inspection of this table. In the unreported group digest 
the Chevalier group produced the highest yields, while Thorpe, Manchuria, 
Hanna, and Hybrid ranked second, third, fourth, and fifth, respectively. 
Although the Hybrid group as a group was quite poor, it will be seen in the sum- 
marized digest of Table 12 that Claude (C. I. No. 1557) was the best variety 
compared. Chevalier II was almost the equal of Claude and Invincible (C. I. 
No. 590) somewhat inferior, while O. A. C. 21 (C. I. No. *470) was nearly equal 
to Invincible. Gold was grown during the years 1914 and 1915, for which years 
it was third in point of yield, being inferior to both Claude and Chevalier II.
