TESTS OF fBAELEY VAKIETIES IN" AMEEIC'A 79 
The Thorpe group was much inferior to the Manchuria, while the Chevaher was 
sHghtly inferior to the Thorpe. Higher yields were obtained from the Hanna 
than from the Hull-less or the Horsford groups. In the summarized digest of 
Table 36 eight well-known varieties belonging to different groups are compared. 
Manchuria (C. I. No. 244) is the best variety. Chevalier II (C. I. No. 200) 
is superior to all except Manchuria. No comparison between Chevalier II and 
Odessa (C. I. No. 182) was possible, as they were not grown in the same years. 
Hannchen (C. I. No. 531) produced yields almost as high as those of Chevalier 
II. Mansury (C. I. No. 617) is a representative of the Thorpe group. Mansury 
was superior to Odessa, Evans (C. I. No. 892), Horsford (C. I. No. 507), and 
Nepal (C. I. No. 595). 
In recent years several promising selections of Manchuria have been made 
at the North Dakota station. Manchuria (C. I. No. 2945; N. Dak. 2119), 
Manchuria (C. I. No. 2947; N. Dak. 2121), Manchuria (C. I. No. 2949; N. Dak. 
2123), and Manchuria (C. I. No. 2951; N. Dak. 2125) are among the best of these. 
The Michigan selection of Lion (C. I. No. 923) gave high yields in 1920 and 
1921, the on]y years in which it was tested. The results here demonstrate that 
Fargo is in the section where Manchuria barleys are particularly adapted. 
Barleys of the Chevalier, Thorpe, and Hanna groups yielded relatively higher 
than at St. Paul or Madison. Although the Manchuria barleys are the ones best 
adapted, it is evident that the conditions are increasingly favorable to the produc- 
tion of 2-rowed barleys in the districts north and west of Madison and St. Paul.
