BULLETIN 1334^ tr. S. DEPAETMEXT OF AGEICULTUBE 
WOOSTER, OHIO 
Results of barlev tests at Wooster, Ohio, ^^-e^e furnished through the cour- 
tesy of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station from 1904 to 1921. Both 
winter and spring varieties were grown. As may be seen in Table 22, the 
winter varieties produced more gi-ain per acre than the spring sorts. iS^one 
of the Hanna type was included among the spring varieties, probably because 
thev had not done well at the lower altitudes in the iNIississippi Valley. Two 
2-r6wed barley's— Primus (C. I. No. 632) and Princess (C. I. No. 529)— were 
grown. These gave only fair yields and are probably not so well adapted to 
the section as even Hanna would be. Two varieties of the IManchuria type — 
Oderbrucker (C. I. No. 836) and Wisconsin Pedigree (C. I. No. 835) — were 
grown in most of the years since 1912. Wisconsin Pedigree gave higher yields 
in six of the nine years in which both of the varieties were grown. The barleys 
of the Tennessee Winter group were the best of the winter varieties grown. 
Ohio Winter (C. I. No. 2033), which is a locaUy adapted form of the Tennessee 
Winter group, was the best variety. Orel (C. I. No. 851), a 2-rowed barley, 
gave a very good yield but was not equal to the Ohio Winter in the only year 
in which it'^was grown. It is probable that in sections of Ohio the winter barleys 
are the better commercial group. In northwestern Ohio spring barleys are 
likelv to be more dependable. Those of the IManchuria group are the best 
adapted of the spring varieties. They endure hot, moist weather at ripening 
time better than most other sorts and are therefore well adapted to culture in 
the upper Mississippi Valley.
