The cropping of the two plats has been just alike since 1882. The 
erops taken off have been corn, potatoes, corn, two years; potatoes, 
corn, two years. In that time there were applications of fertilizer 
to the amount of 2,200 pounds per acre to each plat. 
The plats were well fitted for seed, and one longitudinal half of 
each plat was devoted to each variety of barley. 
A quantity of seed equal to that from Mr. Talbot was taken from 
each of the other varieties, and all were drilled in May fifteenth. 
No fertilizer was used. 
The Black Hulless grown here made a rather better stand, and 
erew taller than that from Mr. Talbot. On both of these lots the 
heads drooped with the weight of grain, and both lodged some 
before ripe, the shorter considerably the most. On July twenty- 
fourth the straw of Black Hulless had turned considerably, while 
the two-rowed had hardly begun to show any indication of ripen- 
Ing, and the four-rowed only in spots. The four lots were allowed 
to stand until there could be no question but that every one was 
i _ Tipe and the grain filled to perfection. They were cut August 
sixth. 
The gross weight harvested, weight of clean grain, of straw and 
chaff as well as the same calculated per acre, with the ratio of 
grain to straw and weight of struck half bushel, taken August 
sixteenth, is given in the subjoined table.
