In Table XIX the spring-barley varieties are arranged in groups 
of related varieties, showing the 5-year average yield of each variety 
and the average yield of each group. Typical heads of the leading 
varieties of barley at the Moro substation are shown in figure 16.

DESCRIPTIONS OP THE BEST VARIETIES. 
The 6-rowed varieties. — The leading 6-rowed varieties, as shown in 
Table XIX, are Mariout, Coast, Oderbrucker, and Beldi. Heads of 
the first three varieties are shown in figure 16. 
The Mariout (C. I. No. 261) is an Egyptian variety which is char- 
acterized by a compact spike of the type often called club, although 
it possesses this characteristic to a lesser degree than the White Club. 
The kernel is somewhat coarse and the beard is not always entirely 
broken off in thrashing. It is an early, heavy-yielding variety in this 
section. 
The Coast variety (C. I. No. 626) is the common 6-rowed barley 
grown upon the Pacific slope and in the Columbia Basin. It 
is called by various names, such as Common California, Bay Brewing, 
and sometimes Blue barley. The spike is less compact than that of 
the Mariout, and in many localities the plant is somewhat taller. 
Like the Mariout, the awn is not entirely removed in thrashing. It 
is a large-kerneled, heavy-yielding variety. It has been 'grown for 
many years in the western United States and probably came origi- 
nally from Egypt. 
Beldi (C. I. No. 190) is another North African variety, which 
closely resembles the Coast. It is, however, slightly earlier, and the 
spike and straw are somewhat shorter.
