BULLETIN 1309, IT. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
high as 10 per cent. Treating with formaldehyde or hot water has 
been practiced following years of considerable smut infection. The 
treatments, though controlling the smuts, have not been satisfactory 
because of the lowered germination due to the treatment. Spring- 
sown barley was grown only in 1915, when the acre yield was 4.2 
bushels. 
In the varietal experiments 42 varieties and selections of barle} 7 
have been grown from fall seeding for three or more years. Several 
of these have been spring varieties which have proved unadapted to 
fall sowing because of winter injury. 
The annual and average yields of 36 varieties and selections of 
winter barley grown in all or parts of the 14-year period from 1910 to 
1923, inclusive, are shown in Table 17. Varieties grown three years or 
less previous to 1915 and then discarded are not included in this table. 
Yields of these varieties are reported in Department Bulletin No. 
336.
