BARLEY YIELDS.

(National Crop Improvement Service.! “Regarding the best yields' of barley, we will sayithat this is rather a difficult thing, to give because the yield sometimes depends more upon the threshing record. However, the average yield of pedigreed barley of members of the Wisconsin Experiment Association Was in 1913. 31 bushels, 1914; 33.3 bushels, 1915, 37.5 bushels. The yield for 1915 is the average from over 260 members reporting. Some of the highest ones are as follows: 60, 57, 56. 55, 53 and 45 bushels. “It is impossible to state what has been the highest yield in Wisconsin, but I think some of these yields for last year, which was a very good barley season, are quite reasonable, but do not doubt though that there ma y be larger yields than these, but I have no knowledge of them.”—J. J. Garland.
