Water Content 0} Barley Kernels During Growth

The distribution in percentage of water (fig. 13, 14, 15) is much more 
uniform. Just at flowering time there is considerable variation, due, 
doubtless, to exceedingly rapid changes taking place at that time.

Immediately following flowering the kernels show almost identical water 
content for any one day and almost identical daily decrease in water con¬ 
tent for many days. The exact date of the beginning of spread in the 
distribution is difficult to determine. It is evident that it is not much 
before the seventeenth to twentieth day. By the twenty-third day
