Circular 16

Edda, an introduction from Sweden, was recommended for the first tim e in 195 I for all barley-growing areas of Alaska. About 200 bushels of this new barley variety were available for distribution to Alaska growers in 195 I through the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station. Because Edda is early, stiff-strawed, highyielding, and of good quality it is expected to have an im portant place in the production of feed and seed in the Territory. A nalytical chemical determ inations suggest that Edda is at least equal in feeding value to similar varieties grown in Alaska and to Stateside barleys.In cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Administratio
