variety which has been grown for a long period, but the Coast variety 
has a higher average yield during the years it has been grown. The 
Gatami variety yields well in dry seasons, but not especially well in 
favorable seasons. It has further objections in having black glumes 
and a very brittle peduncle. The Manchuria, which is the leading 
variety of barley in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and 
Wisconsin, has not yielded well at Newell. Three strains of this 
variety have been grown.

The yields of the naked varieties Himalaya and Nepal have been 
much less than those of the hulled varieties. If the weights of the 
glumes are considered, the average yield of Himalaya has been equal 
to that of several of the hulled varieties, though not to the best. The 
Nepal is not sufficiently vigorous to be productive. 
The average dates of heading and maturity, height, weight per 
bushel, and yields of grain and straw for four varieties of barley are 
shown in Table NXIII. The Hannchen variety shows a considerably 
later date of heading than the other varieties, but this is partly due to 
the failure of the heads to emerge promptly or fully from the sheath, 
even though they were well developed. The Hannchen has the 
heaviest weight per bushel and the highest yields of grain and straw. 
The Odessa and Manchuria varieties were taller than the Nepal and 
Hannchen.
