NURSERY EXPERIMENTS. 
Numerous barleys from various sources have been tested in the 
varietal nursery. (Figs. 4 and 5.) The agronomic notes include 
special notes on Rhynchosporium infection and types of shattering. 
Coast (C. I. No. 690) has consistently been one of the best varieties. 
A few promising varieties have been advanced to the plat experi- 
ments. Most barley varieties are not adapted to California conditions. 
Fig. 4. — Some of the pure-line selections of barley growing in nursery rows at the Plant Introduction 
Station, Chico, Calif., in 1920. 
The early work in pure-line selection was primarily to select for 
desirable lines from varieties showing variations. From 1915 to 1918 
a number of smooth-awned selections were grown. These were origi- 
nated by Dr. H. V. Harlan, agronomist in charge of barley investi- 
gations, for the purpose of developing smooth-aw^ned sorts of parti- 
cular value as hay barleys. The smooth-awned character appeared
