WONG WINTER BARLEY - This variety developed by 
New York Agricultural Experiment Station was first 
evailabie for limited planting by farmers in the fall 
of 1942. Its outstanding merit is its resistance to 
logging, superior to any other important variety. 
Lts splendid standing ability makes it easy to har- 
vest and much kinder to accompanying grass-legume 
seedings. It is also highly resistant to mildew and 
to smut. Its yields in tests in several Vaginen to 
date have been equal to the best other vari 
it has very short awns or beards which both 
little in harvesting and threshing. 1+ is 
somewhat less winter-hardy than Kentucky No. 1 and 
some loss may occur during a severe winter on areas 
with little snow cover.
