This is the first season since the advent of the white man to theCopper Valley that barley has failed to mature. Even this year theseveral varieties made an abundance of fodder, which was cut andcured for hay. When the killing frost came, August 17, Manchuria,Lapland, and Manshury were the farthest advanced and all prom-ised a handsome yield, ripening in the order named, all producinglong heads, well filled.

The straw was yet quite full of sap, and a few greenheads frosted, but fully 90 per cent matured thoroughly, making anaverage crop. The old ground i:)roduced fully 50 per cent more thanthe new. (PI.
