| dc.description | The article addresses the question, "What is the value of thin-kerneled lightweight barley as compared with plump barley weighing 46 to 48 pounds per bushel?" In 1954 an experiment was begun to answer this question. However, an outbreak of parakeratosis confounded the results and made interpretation of the data worthless. The only thing that came from this experiment suggested that pelleting reduced the apparent differences of thin and plump barley and that, when pelleted, the thin-kerneled barley was worth more than expected. The article goes to to further detail Experiment 26. | |
