BARLEY, SPRING. Our Pennsylvania State College carries 
on extensive experiments. The results are impartial and 
official, therefore it is certainly greatly to the interest of 
every farmer to profit by the benefits derived from the 
exhaustive tests they make. In their recent Bulletin they 
say of Spring Barley: “The smooth-awned varieties are 
rapidly replacing the rough-awned. We know of no high- 
yielding hooded or of true beardless varieties. Likewise, 
no hull-less varieties are recommended.” They show that 
“Velvet” Barley, a 6-rowed, smooth-awned variety, is one 
of the heaviest yielding of the spring Barleys. In their tests 
it averaged about 27 bushels per acre over a period of 5 years.
