E. Colwell, head of the Station's agronomy depart ment. Colwell referred particularly to the new Atlas wheats and to Colon ial barley, all of which were re leased to growers a year ago. G., K. Middleton and T. T. Hebert, plant breeders at the Station, de veloped and tested the new grains. Atlas 50 and Atlas 66 are sister strains noted for their stiff straw and resistance to leaf diseases. Last year Atlas 50 yielded an aver age of 32 bushels per acre at nine locations. Redhart, the most wide ly grown variety in the State, averaged only 21 bushels per acre in the same te^ts. Colonial barley has consistent ly outyielded other barley variet ies, Colwell said. At the McCullers Branch Station near Raleigh it produced 10 bushels per acre more than Sunrise. Colonial barley also is noted for its disease resistance. 1 Colwell also praised the per formance Of Arlington oats, a new variety released recently by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In eight variety tests in 1948 and 1949, Arlington yielded an aver age of 97 bushels per acre. Its nearest competitor was Staton variety, which averaged 80 bu shels per acre. Arlington not only yields high but also has a higher protein con tent. It averages 13.7 per cent protein, while the next highest (protein-bearing barley is Lee variety with 10 per cent. Enough certified seed Of the new varieties will be available af ter harvest to enable more farm ers to grow them.
