Correlations of yield with various agronomic characters have heen rather widely reported. The majority of the work has been done with oats and wheat and comparatively few results have been reported with barley. The following i~ a summary of the work with barley. Sir Humphrey Davy (2) a remarked that Jrwas unfortunate that so many highyielding grains preferred to lie upon the ground. Graber and Olsen (4) reported that they found no significant correlation between yield and lodging in a study involving 15 strains of barley. Kohls (6), working with seven varieties, found positive correlations between yield and test weight and between yield and height of plant. At the Colorado Experiment Station, Robertson, et al. (7) found a positive correlation between yield and test weight. In a test including 41 varieties, they also found a positive correlation between yield and height or plant. Kiesselbach, et al. (5) found no correlation between yield and either height plant or lodging, but they did find a positive correlation between yield and test weight.
