HARLAN, Martini, and Stevens (1) in 1940 studied 149 crosses between two-rowed and six-rowed varieties of barley. They observed that the full size of the lateral kernels of the six-rowed parents was seldom recovered in the six-rowed segregates and suggested that the small laterals usually produced might adversely affect yield. From this it would appear that the use of two-rowed varieties in crosses aimed at development of good sixrowed malting varieties might hold very little promise,
