TESTS OF BAELEY VAEIETIES IN AMERICA 
125 
1915, None of these winter sorts proved successful, owing to the severity of 
the winters at Aberdeen. Spring barley is commonly grown in southern Idaho, 
although at lower altitudes v*- inter barley is sometimes grown successfully. 
Lion (C. I, No. 923) produced an average yield of 108.6 per cent of the weighted 
mean for the years 1914 to 1918, inclusive. Beldi Giant (C. I. No. 2777) and 
Sandrel (C. I. No. 937) were grown from 1915 to 1918, inclusive. Beldi Giant 
was exceeded in yield by only White Smyrna for those years. V/hile Sandrel 
ranked second in 1915, its yield was comparatively low the other three years. 
Trebi (C. I. No. 936) yielded fairly well in the three years it was grown, considering 
the fact that it is best adapted to irrigated conditions in this section. 
From Table 68 it is evident that White Smyrna, Club Mariout, and Beldi 
Giant are about equally well adapted to culture under dry-land conditions. 
White Smyrna is perhaps the better sort in years of very little rainfall. 
NEPHI, UTAH 
Barley varieties were tested at Nephi, Utah, in the period from 1908 to 1921, 
inclusive. The yields shown in Table 69 were obtained in cooperation with the 
Utah Agricultural Experiment Station during the j^ears from 1908 to 1920, 
inclusive, and through the courtesy of this station in 1921. 
In 1908 three spring barleys, Hull-less (C. I. No. 649), California Prolifie (C. 
I. No. 651), and Coast (C. I. No. 650), were grown. Although retained for 
several years none of these produced high j-ields. 
Two winter barleys, Winter Club (C. I. No. 592) and Tennessee Winter (C. I. 
No. 257), were sown in the fall of 1908 and were continued in the experiment 
through 1921. In 1909 and 1910 they produced yields much higher than those 
of the three spring sorts just mentioned. A number of spring barleys were sown 
along with the winter varieties in 1911. As can be seen from the yields in 1912, 
the crop was practically a failure. However, Gatami (C. I. No. 675), a spring 
barley, produced the highest yield that year. It was the only spring variety 
tested further as a winter sort, having been grown in 1914, 1915, and 1916, when 
it proved inferior to the- true winter sorts. With the exception of Turkestan 
(C. I. No. 711) the other v»' inter barleys sown in the fall of 1911 were also dropped 
from the experiment after that year. Turkestan was grown through 1921. 
Bulgarian (C. I. No. 521) was tested for the years 1914 to 1921, inclusive, making 
possible a comparison of the four winter barle^^s. Winter Club, Tennessee Winter, 
Turkestan, and Bulgarian, for those eight years. Bulgarian, with an average 
yield of 33.7 bushels, was the best of these four. Turkestan was second, with 
Tennessee Winter and Winter Club third and fourth, respectively.
