during the six years from 1917 to 1922, inclusive. The yields of all 
varieties are shown in Table 26, except those of 7 varieties grown 
during only one or two years previous to 1917. Yields of these 
varieties were re-

Previous to 1917 the barley plats were grown largely on fallow. Beginning in 1917 the varieties have 
been grown in duplicate plats on fallow and on cornland. 
2 Yields computed at 48 pounds per bushel, as for hulled varieties. 
8 Reported under C. I. No. 642 in U.S. Dept. of Agr. Bul. 402. 
High yields of barley were obtained in 1908, 1909, 1910, 1912, 
1914, and 1915 (Table 
26). Fair yields were harvested of the better 
varieties in 1913, 1916, 1920, 1921, and 1922. During the other 
seasons the yields were small or almost complete failures resulted. 
The fluctuations in yield have resulted from differences in seasonal 
precipitation.
