Sunrise Barley Variety
Appears To Be Doing
Well In North Carolina
COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
March 26.-The Sunrise variety of
barley appears to have done quite
well in many parts of the state
during the past several years, according to Dr. R. P. Moore, associate in agronomy and in charge
of variety tests of the Experiment
Station at State College.
Dr. Moore who has just returned
from a tour of the mountain
tests in this state, reports that
aphids or greenbugs that last fall
took a heavy toll on most varieties of barley planted there did
not seriously bother the Sunrise.
Also, over the past four-year
period, this barley has shown the
highest average yield in the Coastal Plain area, Dr. Moore adds.
In reporting on oat tests, he
says that Letoria variety which
showed the highest average yield
in the tests at Swannanoa in 1942
and at Hendersonville in 1943,
again looks very promising.
Tests conducted during the past
two years in the Mountain area
have shown that Thorne wheat,
a beardless variety, has the highest average yield in that section the agronomist says.
He points out that the Thorne
came through this winter in fine
shape and shows promise of maintaining
its superiority another
year.

Dr. R. P. Moore reports that the Sunrise variety of barley performed well in North Carolina, resisting aphids in mountains and yielding highest in Coastal Plain over four years. Letoria oats look promising in mountain tests. Thorne wheat, a beardless variety, showed highest yields in mountains over two years and good winter condition.
