New Small Grains
Make Good Yields
Highly satisfactory yields are|
being reported by farmers liar-1
vesting the new small grain va-1
rieties recently released by the
Ninth Carolina Experiment Sta
tion, according to W. E. Colwell,
head of the Station’s agronomy
department.
Colwell referred particularly to
the new Atlas wheats and to Co
|lo..;al barley, all <>f which were
j released to growers a year ago. G.
| K. Middleton and T. T. Herbert,
[ plant breeders at the Station, de
I ve loped and tested the new grains.
Atlas 50 and Atlas G(i are sister
strains noted for their stiff straw
and resistance to leaf diseases.
Last year Atlas 50 yielded an
average of 32 bushels per acre at
nine locations. Redhart. the most
widely grown variety in the State, ]
averaged only 21 bushels per acre
in the same tests
Colonial barley has consistent-1
]y out yieided other barley va- .
rieties, Colwell said. At the Mc
Cuilers Branch Station near Ral- j
eigh it pro duced 10 bushels per!
acre more than Sunrise. Colonial
bai ley also is noted for its disease,
resistance.
Colwell also praised the per- j
formance of Arlington oats, a
new variety released recently by
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture. In eight variety tests in
1948 arid 1949. Arlington yielded
an average of 97 bushels per acre.
Its nearest competitor was Staton
variety, which averaged 80 bush
els per acre
Arlington not only yields high j
but also has a higher protein con- j
tent. It averages 13.7 per cent
protein, while the next highest ;
protein-bearing barley is Lee va
riet> with 10 per cent.
Enough certified seed of the;
new varieties will he available
after harvest to enable more fai
men: to grow them.
