Since 1908 25 varieties and strains of barley have been grown in the varietal experiments. Only 1 variety has been grown during the entire period, but 4 varieties were grown continuously from 1909 to 1919, inclu- sive. The yields are shown in Table XXII. The average yields of 6 varieties of barley are also shown graphically in figure 11. In Table XXII it can be seen that high yields of barley were obtained in 1915. and fair yields in 1908, 19

Since 1908 25 varieties and strains of barley have been grown in the varietal experiments. Only 1 variety has been grown during the entire period, but 4 varieties were grown continuously from 1909 to 1919, inclu- sive. The yields are shown in Table XXII. The average yields of 6 varieties of barley are also shown graphically in figure 11. In Table XXII it can be seen that high yields of barley were obtained in 1915. and fair yields in 1908, 1909, 1916, 1917, and 1918. During the other seasons the yields either were small or else almost complete failures. These differences were chiefly influ- enced by the seasonal precipitation. In general the 2- rowed varieties have produced the highest yields. Of the two leading 2-rowed vari- eties, White Smyrna has given the highest average yield. Be- cause of its earliness this variety has jdeld- ed well in dry seasons, but the Hannchen va- riety yielded best in favorable seasons. Heads of Hannchen and White Smyrna barley are shown in figure 12. The Odessa is the highest yielding 6-rowed 77754°—22 5.
