TESTS OF BAPuLEY VARIETIES IN- AMERICA 
55 
80 (C. I. No. 2732) and Michigan (C. I. No. 2782) in recent years. Wisconsin 
Pedigree (C. I. No. 835) did not yield so high as might be expected in view of the 
fact that Manchuria (C. I. No. 241) yielded well the two years in which it was 
grown. At the eastern farm the 2-rowed varieties were promising. The best 
yielding barley was a winter sort which was grown for two years. The winter 
barleys usually show up relatively better than their actual value, owing to the 
fact that they are soon discontinued on account of winterkilling and the final year 
of failure is not reported. Probstier (C. I. No. 122), a barley of the Hanna 
group, gave a relatively high yield for the entire five years. Two North African 
varieties, Coast (C. I. No. 690) and Cape (C. I. No. 557), were entirely out of their 
region of adaptation and produced very low yields. 
The results at the western farm are not consistent. The yields are low except 
in 1873, when only a few varieties were grown. The Common barley, which was 
probably of the Manchuria type, was better than the average. While the tests 
in Pennsylvania are neither extensive nor conclusive, they indicate that Pennsyl- 
vania belongs in the same district as New York, that is, the Hanna and Man- 
churia barley's probably are the ones best adapted. In southeastern Pennsyl- 
vania it is probable that the winter barleys would give higher returns and would 
not winterkill with such frequency as to make' their culture unprofitable.
