yields were obtained from all varieties. In 1910 six more varieties 
were added to the test. Because of the shortage of sum in er-f allowed 
land it was necessary to grow the varieties on the ground used for 
testing barley in 1909. The land was plowed early in the spring and 
the seeding was done on April 20. The resulting yields were low. 
In 1911 the hot. dry weather in July reduced the yields, and in 1912 
all varieties were destroyed by hail. In 1913 good yields were ob- 
tained from all varieties. The hot. dry weather during July. 191-4. 
caused the varieties to ripen early and the quality of the grain was 
poor. The yields obtained in 1915 were the highest recorded at the 
station. 
The barley varieties were grown in unreplicated tenth-acre plats 
in 190S. 1909. 1910. and 1913 and in unreplicated twentieth-acre plats 
in 1911 and 1912. In 1914 and 1915 they were grown in fiftieth-acre 
plats, replicated five times. 
Table XXI gives the annual and average yields of the barley varie- 
ties that have been tested at Moccasin from 190S to 1915. Of the 19 
varieties listed in this table, 9 belong to the 2-rowed hulled group. 
5 to the 6-rowed hulled group. 2 to the 2-rowed naked group, and 3 
to the 6-rowed naked group. Only 3 of the 19 varieties have been 
grown in all seven years and only 14 are now being grown. Heads 
of representative varieties of the different groups of barley are shown 
in figure 13.
