Ten well-kno¥/n varieties representative of the different types and groups 
were chosen for the purposes of the varietal comparison. The highest yields 
were obtained from Hannchen (C. I. No. 531) and White Smyrna (C. I. 
No. 910), while Franconian (C. I. No. 680), another 2-rowed barley repre- 
sentative of the Hanna group, ranked third. Coast (C. I. No. 690) and Svanhals 
(C. I. No. 187) are of almost equal importance. While Meloy (C. I. No. 1176) 
does not show up well in this comparison, it produced an average yield of 108 per 
cent of the weighted mean for the six years in which it was grown. The results 
f rojn this hooded variety have been quite encouraging at a number of the stations 
in this same general region. Manchuria (C. I. No. 244) exceeded only Nepal 
(C. I. No. 595), the poorest of the varieties compared. Both of the North 
African barleys. Coast (C. I. No. 690) and Club Mariout (C. I. No. 261), yielded 
well during the 1 1 years they were grown but were inferior to the 2-rowed varie- 
ties, Hannchen and White Smyrna. 
In 1921 varieties named July (C. I. No. 1563) and Horn (C. I. No. 926) were 
introduced. July, a 6-rowed sort, produced the lowest yield, but Horn, a 
Chevalier barley, was exceeded only by Hannchen in that one year. At Havre, 
Mont., the Chevalier and Hanna barleys were superior to Hannchen and White 
Smyrna for the years in which they were comparable. 
It is evident, however, that to the south of Havre Hannchen and WTiite 
Smyrna are the most widely adapted 2-rowed varieties. This is due in part to the 
fact that they mature somewhat earlier than the barleys of the Chevalier and 
Hanna types. 
HUNTLEY, MONT. 
The barley data from Huntley, Mont., as presented in Table 59, were obtained 
through the courtesy of the Office of Western Irrigation Agriculture. Only one 
variety, Trebi (C. I. No. 936), was grown for the five years from 1917 to 1921, 
inclusive. The other varieties tested were grown only in 1918. Trebi, with a 
yield of 70.5 bushels, ranked highest of the five tested that year. The other 
varieties were all 2-rowed sorts. White Smyrna (C. I. No. 195) was the best of 
these, with Chevalier II (C. I. No. 200) almost its equal. Hannchen (C. I. No. 
531) and Svanhals (C. I. No. 187) were fourth and fifth, resi)ectively, but were 
([uite low in yield as compared with Trebi. Although Huntley is in a district 
favorable to the production of 2-rowed barle3's, Trel)i seems to be a superior sort 
there under irrigation, and in drier, hotter years it would doubtless yield much 
more than the 2-rowed varieties.
