BULLETIN" 1334^ U. S. DEPAETMEI^T OF AGRICLtlTURE 
It is evident that the climatic conditions here are such that several distinct 
types of barley may be successfully grown. Of the spring varieties both the 
2-rowed sorts and the barleys of the Coast group are outstanding in yield. Trebi 
and Baker, representative of still another group, also seem promising. There is 
no doubt, however, that the winter barleys are superior in yield so far as they 
have been tested at Moscow. Even in field culture, despite occasional winter- 
kilhng, which might be expected, the winter barleys may be more profitable than 
the spring varieties. 
ABERDEEN, IDAHO 
Irrigated land. — The Aberdeen substation is most advantageously situated for 
testing barleys under irrigation, particularly those of the types adapted to arid 
and semiarid conditions. It is located in the Snake River basin of southern 
Idaho at an altitude of 4,400 feet. The growing season is short, and the river 
makes available a water supply for irrigation purposes. Extensive nursery and 
plat tests of barley varieties have been made at the Aberdeen substation in re- 
cent years. Most of the varieties tested seem to produce maximum yields here.

the Aberdeen {Idaho) substation in -part or all of the nine years from 1913 to 1921,
