NEW GRAINS FOR TRIAL College of Agriculture Recommends New Varieties For several years the University of California Experiment Station has had under trial a large number of varieties of wheat, oats, and barley. As a result of these tests, a limited amount of the seed from several of the more promising varieties are offered for wider trial the present season. The varieties on hand which are recommended for trial by growers are listed below, together with a brief description of each of the types and the performance record of each on the cereal stations of the University. All of the wheats have been grown in competition with White Australian, which was the variety used upon the check plats. The oats have been tried against the Texas Red; and the barleys against the common six-row type. These new grains have not as yet all been pedigreed, but they are considered worthy of dissemination in their present condition. The price of the grains, f.o.b. Davis, Cal., will be three (3) cents per pound in 100-pound lots; five cents per pound for less than 100-pound lots. No more than 100 pounds will be sold to one party. Applications for these grains should be addressed to G. W. Shaw, University Agricultural Experiment Station, Berke'ey, Cal. In last week's issue new varieties of wheat seed were referred to. Below will be found a reference to new varieties of barley and oats. BARLEYS Beldl.—This is a six-row bearded barley with a bluish berry. The head is a little shorter than that of the common barley. The early growth of this is a pedigree type, originally developed at the Swedish Seed Breeding Institute in Svalof by Dr. Nilsson. It has been under trial on the California Station since 1905, and has uniformly produced high yields. The average yield on the San Joaquin Station has been 54 bushels per acre against 49.6 bushels per acre for the common barley. In the Sacramento Valley this type has averaged 54 bushels per acre against 50.4 for the common barley. White Smyrna.—This barley is an early maturing sort of the two-row type. It has a relatively weak straw and is somewhat given to lodging when the growth is heavy. It matures about five days earlier than the common barley and in this respect resembles Hannchen. The grain is large, plump, well formed, very bright, and has a yellowish color, and is of good weight. It threshes practically free from beards. On account of the brittleness of the straw just below the head it is not as well adapted to regions where the atmosphere is very dry as the Hannchen variety. It is probable that this barley is well adapted to the coast sections. This variety was secured in Smyrna, Asia Minor, by Mr. George C. Roeding, of Fresno, and has been grown systematically upon the California station since 1902 with very satisfactory yields. In the San Joaquin Valley the average yield has been 59.5 bushels per acre. At the University Farm, Davis, the average yield for four years has been 46.2 bushels per acre. Tennessee Winter.—This belongs to the six-row class of barleys and is particularly adapted to early seeding. It should be seeded in December to secure the best results. In its early growth its foliage is of light blueish-green. the Gulf of California most portion the riversembles the Nile, having which distribute silt ing lands and render as those in the historic North Africa.

W. Shaw, University Agricultural Experiment Station, Berke'ey, Cal. In last week's issue new varieties of wheat seed were referred to. Below will be found a reference to new varieties of barley and oats. BARLEYS Beldl.—This is a six-row bearded barley with a bluish berry. The head is a little shorter than that of the common barley. The early growth of this type is about the same as the common sort, but in its ultima'e growth it is not quite as tall. Beldl matures about two weeks earlier than the common barley, which is a feature very much to its advantage, particularly in lessening the loss from shattering and in enabling it to mature with a smaller water supply, as well as in enabling it to be harvested earlier when it is desired to follow the crop by some irrigated crop like corn, cotton, or cowpeas. The berry is of fair quality, but it is not particularly recommended for brewing purposes. This type has been under trial since 1905. The seed originally came from Algeria, where it is grown on the saline soils of the Sahara Desert. It is grown there under irrigation, but the irrigation water itself is saline. Under those conditions it succeeds, while other plants fail. For these reasons it may be somewhat more alkali resistant than our common sort. It is regarded as a barley of great promise and can be highly recommended. The average yield on the San Joaquin Valley Station for the past five years has been 64.4 bushels per acre while common barley under similar conditions has yielded 49.6 bushels. In the Sacramento Valley the average yield for 1908-11, inclusive, has been 51.5 bushels per acre. The observations of one grower of considerable acreage in Riverside County may be summarized as follows: It matured two weeks earlier than common barley; the grain was full and plump, while the common was "shoe pegged." The yield of all barley was low, the average about seven sacks. On th's land, Beldl exceeded the common barley by one sack to the acre on 400 acres. The precipitation was only 8 inches and the ground in poor condition. The land had been farmed annually to barley for five years. He states further: "I believe it is the proper seed for us to use when the rainfall systematically upon the California station since 1902 with very satisfactory yields. In the San Joaquin Valley the average yield has been 59.5 bushels per acre. At the University Farm, Davis, the average yield for four years has been 46.2 bushels per acre. Tennessee Winter.—This belongs to the six-row class of barleys and is particularly adapted to early seeding. It should be seeded in December to secure the best results. In its early growth its foliage is of light bluish-green color and somewhat spreading in character. It does not easily shatter and the berries are large, well formed, and of good weight. It has only been tried in the Sacramento Valley and has usually been seeded too late to be under the most favorable conditions. It is adapted particularly to the northern part of the state, particularly the higher altitudes. The average yield since 1907, at Davis, under rather unfavorable conditions, has been 57.7 bushels per acre. Mansury.—Th's barley is of the six-row type, very uniform in its character of growth. The leaves are relatively broad, long, and thick; the straw is very thick, thus preventing lodging. In heavy winds it shatters badly. It is best adapted to regions of little wind during the ripening period. The grain is of bluish color, of medium size, and of excellent quality. It should be seeded early. OATS Burt.—A variety with a medium small, slender, dark grey berry. It ripens about twelve days earlier than the common (Texas Red). It is the most rapid grower of any we have had under trial upon the experimental grounds. It can be seeded relatively late. This oat has averaged to yield, in the Sacramento Valley, about 20 per cent more than the common oat. This variety is highly recommended, especially for late seeding. Red Algerian.—This type of oat is very similar to the common red oat grown in California, but has averaged to yield about 7 per cent more under the same condition. It is adapted to the region in which oats are commonly grown in the state. Sixty Day.—The berries of this oat are small, slender, and very tapering white in color and of fair bushel weight. It possesses a stiff straw and does not lodge easily. The color of the plant is somewhat darker than that of the Burt, but lighter than that of the common red oat. It is particularly adapted for early seed-grown systematically upon the California station since 1902 with very satisfactory yields. In the San Joaquin Valley the average yield has been 59.5 bushels per acre. At the University Farm, Davis, the average yield for four years has been 46.2 bushels per acre.

Industrially, scenically, and geologically it presents more diverse conditions than any other stream in the United States. From the crest of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and Wyoming it sweeps across the intervening country, traversing parts of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada, to the head of the Gulf of California, the area drained being about 300,000 square miles. In the Rocky Mountain region it flows through a country covered by eternal snows and waters some of the most fertile and valuable agricultural lands in the world in western Colorado, northwestern New Mexico, and eastern Utah. It traverses the famous Grand Canyon of the Colorado in the northern part of Arizona and finally passes over the broad, flat plains above the head of Sixty Day.—The berries of this oat are small, slender, and very tapering white in color and of fair bushel weight.

In this lower-most portion the river strongly resembles the Nile, having annual floods which distribute silt over the adjoining lands and render them as fertile as those in the historic valley of North Africa. The Colorado and its tributaries have other values than that of irrigation, for, descending in steep channels, they present abundant opportunities for the development of water power. Power has been developed at a few points, but the resources of the Colorado basin are in this respect yet practically untouched. corded observations at 179 stations, covering Grand River and tributaries. In a basin so liberally provided with natural resources it is a fundamental necessity, in planning for the utilization of the river, to ascertain the amount of water available in the main stream and its principal tributaries, so that future developments, as well as those now under construction, can be suitably designated in type and capacity. For a long period of years the United States Geological Survey has been making observations and measurements at many important points in the Colorado basin, and the latest published information on the subject is contained in Water Supply Paper 269 of the Survey, which is a progress report of river-flow measurements in this basin for the year 1909. In this report are re-in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming; the San Juan basin in northwestern New Mexico; the Little Colorado River basin in Colorado; the Gila River basin in Arizona; and finally the discharge near the mouth of the main stream at Yuma, Ariz.

In this report are re-in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming; the San Juan basin in northwestern New Mexico; the Little Colorado River basin in Colorado; the Gila River basin in Arizona; and finally the discharge near the mouth of the main stream at Yuma, Ariz. These records are not only of local value for guiding economic development but they have an international significance in connection with the difficulties that have been encountered in the control of the Colorado near its mouth in Mexican territory. The escape of the river from its regular channel and its diversion into the Salton Sea are matters of recent history, and the consequences of a diversion of this kind, which promised to inundate some of the most fertile country in southern California, have been discussed in the public press. The control of the Colorado for the prevention of further outbreaks must involve thorough knowledge of the tributary flow, even in the high regions of its headquarters, in Colorado, and the ultimate steps taken to prevent disastrous inundation will in all probability involve the control of these upland tributaries. The size of Colorado River is indicated by its total discharge in the year 1909, which was 26,000,000 acre-feet, or enough water to cover that number of acres to a depth of 1 foot. Such an amount of water, if poured upon Manhattan Borough of the City of New York and confined by retaining walls, would bury the city 1,857 feet deep, or it would make a lake 66 feet deep over the state of Delaware.

Sequoia National Park: Widening "The interior has asked Congress to appropriate the sum of 790,080.60, an increase of $617,830.61 over the appropriations for the current fiscal year. The national parks constitute ideal recreation grounds for thousands of people, but their development and use are seriously retarded by the lack of adequate roads and trails, until sufficient money is appropriated for beginning a comprehensive plan of development the parks will fall far short of rendering the important public use for which they are intended. The general public interest in these pleasure grounds is shown by the fact that in a list recently issued by the Department of the Interior 390 magazine articles on the parks are enumerated. It is the intention of the Department to make the principal places of interest in the parks more accessible, to render traveling more comfortable by sprinkling the roads throughout the dry season, and to guard the health of the traveler by the installation of proper water supply and sewerage systems. The responsibility for the future conduct of the national parks must rest with Congress, but the Department feels that the financial needs of these reservations should be clearly presented to Congress in the annual estimates."
