Although the open autumn of 1956 was ideal for sowing winter barley, the combination of afrostless winter and a dry spring made impossible the establishment of reasonable seed‐beds for spring barleys on heavier soils. Drought caused uneven emergence on clay soils, and the application of nitrogenous top‐dressings had little effect on vegetative growth in early summer. Heavy rain in July was responsible for the rapid translocation of the added nitrogen to the grain. Proctor continues to yield satisfactorily on very varied types of soil; its high tillering capacity was especially advantageous on heavy land during the past season.
