GRAND RAPIDS, MINN. 
The yields of barley varieties grown at the North-Central Experiment Farm at 
Grand Rapids, Minn., were furnished through the courtesy of the Minnesota 
Agricultural Experiment Station. These yields are reported in Table 31. Barley 
was grown in all of the years from 1918 to 1921, inclusive. Only 4 of the 21 
varieties were grown for the full four years. Manchuria (C. I. No. 2330) pro- 
duced the highest yield, as it did at Waseca. French Chevauer (C. I. No. 2900), 
Hanna (C. I. No. 319), and Nepal (C. I. No. 595) followed in the order named. 
For the three years in which Minsturdi (C. I. No. 1556) was grown it was shghtly 
superior to Manchuria (C. I. No. 2330) . Svansota (C. I. No. 1907) , grown for the 
same years, gave higher yields than Hanna, but did not yield so well as Man- 
churia (C. I. No. 2330), French Chevaher (C. I. No. 2900), or Minsturdi. Samofa 
(C. I. No. 1211) is a hybrid between South African and Manchuria, produced at 
the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. It was tested only in the year 
1921, when it gave the highest yield. Although several hybrid varieties were very 
promising at Grand Rapids, barleys of the Manchuria type are unquestionably 
well adapted. It is probable that the hybrids are valuable in proportion to their 
resemblance to Manchuria, especially in the matter of disease resistance.
