Awnless (C. I. No. 702) and Tanbash (C. I. No. 578), a hull-less variety, pro- 
duced the lowest yields in both years. Nesbian (C. I. No. 647), which was grown 
in 1916, was the second in rank that year. While a test in onh^ two years does not 
show definitely the value of any particular variety, it does give a general idea of 
what varieties might be expected to yield well in this section.

QUITMAN, GA. 
The yields of barley varieties grown at the Quitman substation during the 
year 1915 are found in Table 86. These yields were obtained in cooperation 
with the Georgia State College of Agriculture. Of the seven winter barleys grown 
in this year, Greece (C. I. No. 221) was the highest vielder, with JNIammoth 
Winter (C. I. No. 220) and .Argentine (C. I. No. 223)"' following. Orel (C. I. 
No. 351) and Tennessee Winter (C. I. No. 257) were fourth and fifth in point of 
yield. Tennessee Winter is usually relatively higher in rank at stations where 
humid-winter barleys are grown than it is here. A test of only one year is not 
sufficient to show which types are superior, but it is likely that the less dominant 
winter types are better adapted this far south.

MORGANTOWN, W. VA. 
The yields of the barley varieties grown in 1921 at Morgantown were fur- 
nished through the courtesy of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. 
As very little barley is grown in this State, the experiments with this cereal have 
been very limited. The four varieties tested here were grown in rod rows repli- 
cated seven times. Manchuria (C. I. No. 244) produced the highest yield, 34.4 
bushels. A 2-rowed barley, Chevalier (C. I. No. 278), was second in rank, with 
a yield of 32.7 bushels. Neither of the hull-less sorts, Himalaya (C. I. No. 620) 
and Nepal (C. I. No. 595), compared favorably with the two hulled varieties, 
Himalaya producing a yield of only 18 bushels and Nepal 13.6 bushels. 
No data are available on which to base an opinion as to the value of winter 
varieties. At the higher elevations the spring varieties would likely be the 
better sorts, but at the lower elevations they would probably become badly 
diseased. This was the case in Kentucky and Virginia where spring barleys 
were tested. There the winter sorts proved to be superior.
