The Yield of Barley in Great Britain. — Turning to the Barley 
crop of 1893, the differences are shown in Table Y. to have been most 
marked in the groups of counties wherein the Wheat crop suffered 
most. In the South-Eastern group of Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hants, 
and Berks, the Barley yield per acre was reduced by upwards of 
36 per cent, below the normal figure. In the six Eastern counties 
forming the first part of the division No. 1, the mean decline has 
been 30| per cent., while in the South-West, again, from Dorset to 
Cornwall, a mean reduction of nearly 29 per cent, is reported. In 
three English counties, Middlesex, Surrey, and Cornwall, where the 
normal yield ranges from 32 to over 39 bushels per acre, the Barley 
yield of 1893 is returned as under 20 bushels per acre.
