TESTS OF BAELEY VARIETIES IX AMERICA 
117 
(C. I. Xo. 1145), were second and third. Following Gold are Coast (C. I. No. 
2790) and Colsess (C. I. No. 2792), the latter a hybrid variety which was pro- 
duced at this station. Coast (C. I. No. 2789) is ahnost the equal of Colsess. As 
shown in Table 63 the varieties grown during the entire four years which had an 
average of more than 100 per cent of the weighted mean were either Coast or 
Hanna types with the exception of Colsess and Charlottetown 80 (C. I. No. 
2732). Coast (C. I. No. 2791) was introduced in 1919, but was found inferior to 
several of the other pedigreed Hanna and Coast barleys. Golden Drop (C. I. 
No. 2135), a variety of the Chevaher group, was grown in 1920 and 1921, but was 
not a superior sort in either of those years. 
Twelve varieties were introduced in 1921. With the exception of Bark (C. I. 
No. 2793) all of these produced relatively high vields. Manchuria (C. I. No. 
2783) and O. A. C. 21 (C. I. No. 1470), both pedigreed strains of Manchuria 
barle}', were the highest j'ielders that j^ear. This is rather surprising, as the 
]\lanchuria tj^pes vrould appear to be entirely out of their ecological region in 
Colorado. 
Considering the whole period of the experiment, however, there is no doubt 
that the barley's of the Coast and Hanna types were the highest jielding sorts. 
Fort Collins, like Archer, Wyo., is apparently near the line separating the dis- 
trict where the 2-rowed varieties grow best from that in which Coast is a superior 
t3'pe. In the 2-rov\-ed district east and north of Fort Collins, Hannchen and 
White Smyrna were usually the best of the 2-rowed barle3's. At this station 
Hannchen yielded well in 1921, the only year it was grown, but T\Tiite Smyrna 
was not tested.
