pare at all favorably with Tennessee Winter, but in the following year the latter 
entirely winterkilled. While it produced high yields in some of the years, it 
gave little or no return in others. Winterkilling occurs too often here for the 
safe cultivation of winter varieties. The spring sorts tested all produced poor 
yields. Barleys of the Coast and Stavropol types should do better than those 
tried. These varieties, however, were not included in the experiments.

CHANNING, TEX. 
The data on the varietal experiments at Channing, Tex., were obtained in 
cooperation with the Capitol Syndicate Freehold Land & Investment Co. on 
the X. I. T. Ranch. The yields of these varieties for the years 1905 and 1906 
are shown in Table 92. In 1905 one winter and four spring barleys were grown. 
Club Mariout (C. I. No. 261) and White Smyrna (C. I. No. 195) produced the 
highest yields. Tennessee Winter (C. I. No. 257) was third in rank. The hiimid- 
area spring varieties, Manchuria (C. I. No. 244) and Hanna (C. I. No. 203), 
did not compare favorably with these other sorts. Horsford (C. I. No. 507) 
was introduced in 1906. It yielded only 8.5 bushels, as compared with 25.1 
bushels for Tennessee Winter. As the climatic conditions at Channing and 
Amarillo are quite similar, it is likely that winter barley would be too frequently 
winterkilled for successful cultivation. The Coast and Stavropol barleys might 
be successful here.

STATE COLLEGE, N. MEX. 
The annual yields of barley varieties grown at the New Mexico Agricultural 
Experiment Station were obtained through the courtesy of that station. These 
yields for five years, 1913, 1916, 1917, 1920, and 1921, are shown in Table 93. 
All of the varieties grown during the years 1913, 1916, and 1917 were spring 
sorts, although they M-ere fall sown. Of these Scotch (C. I. No. 848) produced 
the highest average yield for the three years. Frankish (C. I. No. 207) was 
second, and Six-Row (C. I. No. 2811), a barley of unknown identity, was third 
in point of yield. With the exception of Coast and Telli, however, aU these
