As shown in Table 51 four varieties were added in 1919. Coast was the best 
of these. Jet (C. I. No. 1928), a black hull-less sort, was second. Club Mariout 
(C. I. No. 2G1), grown in 1920 and 1921, produced the highest average yield 
of any barley grown in those years. Most of the varieties having an average 
yield of more than 100 per cent of the weighted mean, however, are of the Man- 
churia group. Although barley is not of commercial importance in this section 
of the State, probably Odessa and Manchuria are the types best adapted here. 
Mcpherson, kans. 
Barley was grown at the McPherson Experiment Farm in cooperation with 
the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station from 1906 to 1909, inclusive. The 
results are shown in Table 52. Of the varieties grown for the entire period 
Caucasian (C. I. No. 90) was the highest yielding sort. It is probably identical 
with Stavropol. Yenidje (C. I. No. 205), second in yield, is a barley which re- 
sembles the Coast type, although it originated in Asiatic Turkey. Odessa (C. I. 
No. 182), which also produced high yields at Manhattan, ranks third at this 
station. White Smyrna (C. I. No. 195) and Black Smyrna (C. I. No. 191) follow 
in the order named. Coast (C. I. No. 649) also yielded well. At Manhattan the 
barleys of the Manchuria and Odessa types produced the best yields of any tested 
over a period of years. At McPherson barleys from southern Russia, Asia Minor, 
and North Africa are the superior sorts, although several of the Manchuria barleys, 
such as Common (C. I. No. 184) and Baxter (C. I. No. 185), still do well.
