RESULTS AT HAYS, KANS. 
Winter wheat and spring barley are the leading small-grain crops 
in the vicinity of Hays, Kans. The experiments at the Fort Hays 
branch station have been conducted cooperatively by the Kansas 
Agricultural Experiment Station and the Office of Cereal Investiga- 
tions. The results obtained in the six years from 1913 to 1918 are 
shown in Table 25. Black Winter emmer had produced an average 
yield of 504 pounds per acre. Mariout barley produced more and 
a hybrid oat, Burt X Sixty-Day, which has not been distributed, 
considerably less than the emmer. Red Winter spelt outyielded the 
Black Winter emmer during the years in which the former was grown, 
but yielded less than the barley.

' RESULTS AT AKRON, COLO. 
The experiments at Akron, Colo., were conducted by the Office of 
Cereal Investigations in cooperation with the Office of Dry-Land 
Agriculture Investigations of the Bureau of Plant Industry. The 
yields have been published in part by McMurdo {27). The results 
obtained in the period from 1908 to 1921 are shown in Table 26. 
The Black Winter emmer was grown in nine years, but yielded less 
than half as much as the Vernal (White Spring) variety. It was 
entirelv winterkilled in three seasons.
