No. 182) follow, each having an average yield of 109.7 per cent of the weighted 
mean. While Manchuria (C. I. No. 244) vras the best in 1920 it was very low 
in 1919 and 1921, making the average yield quite low as compared with the other 
three varieties. Gatami (C. I. No. 575) was grown in 1919 and 1920, but was 
inferior to all others in both years. Club Mariout (C. I. No. 261), with a yield 
of 21.4 bushels, ranked third of the six varieties tested in 1920, the only year it 
was grown. White Smyrna has yielded well at nearly all of the Kansas stations, 
but because of its very short straw it probably is not so good for commercial 
purposes as either Odessa or Coast. 
TRffiUNE, KANS. 
The annual yields of barley varieties grown at the Tribune (Kans.) substation 
were furnished through the courtesy of the Kansas Agricultural Experiment 
Station. Barley was grown here for only the four years, 1918 to 1921, inclusive 
(Table 56). In 1921 the crop was a complete failure. Coast (C. I. No. 690) was 
the best in the four-year period. Next in order was Elhs (C. I. No. 2107), a 
local barley of the Coast type, with Odessa (C. I. No. 182) third. White Smyrna 
(C. I. No. 195) was the highest yielding variety in 1920, but produced very low 
yields in the two previous years, ^lub Mariout (C. I. No. 261) was grown only 
in 1920, but ranked second among the varieties grown that year. At practically 
all the stations in western Kansas these five, together with Stavropol, have been 
the barlej^s outstanding in yield. At Tribune, as at the other stations in western 
Kansas, Manchuria (C. I. No. 244) and Gatami (C. I. No. 575) are in a region 
unsuited to their culture. While several barleys showed up well at these stations, 
only Coast and Stavropol are grown commercially.

HAVRE, MONT. 
Barley varieties have been tested at the northern Montana substation at 
Havre during the 6-3'ear period from 1916 to 1921, inclusive. The yields, pre- 
sented in Table 57, were obtained in cooperation with the Montana Agricultural 
Experiment Station. Four varieties were first grown in 1916, two of which. White 
Sm3'rna (C. I. No. 195) and Hannchen (C. I. No. 531), were continued through 
the six years of the experiment. White Smyrna produced the higher average 
yield. Coast (C. I. No. 690) was grown from 1916 to 1920, inclusive, but also 
was surpassed by White Smyrna. Nepal (C. I. No. 595) was inferior to the 
other three varieties during the five years from 1916 to 1919, inclusive, and in 1921. 
In 1917 eight varieties were introduced, all of which were continued in the 
experiment through 1921. Horn (C. I. No. 926), a 2-rowed variety of the Chev- 
alier type, was superior to all the other sorts. Following Horn are three other 
lax 2-rowed barleys, Bohemian (C. I. No. 27), Goldfoil (C. I. No. 928), and 
Holland (C. I. No. 952). These four in this period excelled both White Smyrna 
and Hannchen as well as all of the 6-rowed sorts. Han River (C. I. No. 206), 
which was the best of the 6-rowed barleys, surpassed the North African varieties, 
Beldi Giant (C. I. No. 2777) and Sandrel (C. I. No. 937), by only a small margin. 
Trebi (C. I. No. 936) was not at all suited to the conditions which prevailed during 
the years it was grown.
