Remarks 
( This and plot 7 have a nasty 
green tinge about them 
not seen in other samples, 
and very objectionable to 
a maltster 
f Considered to be quite as 
) good value as 2b, but 
1 colour is not quite so good 
n / Smaller grain than 2a, not 
U \ the “ body ” of 5a and 8bb 
/Wot lit for malting, grain 
J too thin and coloui bad; 
) very little different from 
1 10b 
( Better shape and more 
quality than any other 
sample ; it is more uni- 
form and better grown 
( These barleys are about 
equal to 8bb and better 
than 2b ; they contain a 
lot of unripe corns and are 
sour looking 
Fair colour for poor barley ; 
bigger and better grains 
than 3 
Same as plot 1, having a 
peculiar green colour 
about it 
Poor uneven sample 
Not such a bold sample as 
plots 11a and lib, having- 
more variety in colour 
Same as 8a, only fit for 
grinding 
Not so uniform in size as 
8aa 
( A shade greener than 
0 i and would pass for br< 
I ' malt 
No difference between 
these samples ; is question- 
able if they would pass for 
malt. “ Unkind” samples 
( Would not malt, too thin 
t and green 
Has a little more size and 
uniformity than lib 
Not quite the quality of 
11a, and both samples are 
considerably below plot 4 
, in value 
1 Ammonia salts are equal weights of sulphate of ammonia and muriate of ammonia. 
2 Mixed mineral manures are, throughout, 3£ cwt. superphosphate of lime, 200 lb. sulphate of 
potash, 100 lb. sulphate of soda, and 100 lb. sulphate of magnesia per acre.
