ALPHA BARLEY 
Alpha Barley originated from a cross of the Manchuria, 
a six-row Barley, and the Champion of Vermont, a two- 
row sort. It is a medium-tall, stiff-strawed, two-row va- 
riety maturing somewhat later than standard six-row 
types. These characteristics make it especially desirable 
for sowing with oats for growing a mixed grain crop. This 
Barley has been a consistently high-yielding variety at the 
Cornell Experiment Station for the past twenty-six years. 
It is now the leading variety in New York State. The 
kernels are large, plump, and heavy, and the yield of the 
grain excellent. Alpha Barley has yielded 70 bushels per 
acre on our own farms. 
MOORE BARLEY 
Moore is a superior new variety of Spring Barley with 
good yield, strong straw, resistance to several diseases and 
favorable malting qualities. It was developed at the 
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation 
with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
Moore ts a variety of hybrid origin involving three par- 
ents, including Wisconsin No. 38, Chevron and Olli. It ts 
a white, six-rowed, smooth-awned, spring variety with a 
moderately compact head and long, wide-spreading awns. 
Although the yield of Moore Barley may not be signifi- 
cantly above that of Wisconsin No. 38, we feel that its 
improved strength of straw, standability, and moderate 
resistance to stem rust, mildew, and the spot blotch dis- 
eases are distinct advantages. We therefore recommend 
this new Moore Barley to those who wish a stiff-strawed, 
six-rowed type.

ERIE BARLEY 
This cross between Goldfoil and Alpha is a new two-rowed, 
bearded Spring Barley with smooth awns. The grain is plump, 
high in test weight and white to light yellow in color. Erie Barley 
has erect heads, good straw strength and is resistant to powdery 
mildew. It also has greater resistance to smut than Alpha Barley 
and yields better. These characteristics give it distinct advantages 
over Alpha Barley. It will probably replace Alpha when seed be- 
comes plentiful. 
Erie was first released by the Plant Breeding Department of 
Cornell in 1951; therefore, seed supply is limited for 1952 planting. 
Try a few bushels and get a start with this new two-rowed Barley.
