Excerpt from Mariout Barley: With a Discussion of Barley Culture in CaliforniaConcerning the origin of Coast or common barley we have no exact records to refer to, but inasmuch as barley of an identical type has long been grown in the south of Spain, it is not improbable that it found its way to California from that region, through the agency of the Spanish conquerors and the missionaries who. Followed them. Further evidence of this is supplied by the knowledge that this variety was grown from the earliest times about the mission settlements in California. Common (coast) barley is well adapted to Pacific Coast conditions, but why it should have been grown here practically to the exclusion of all other varieties is difficult to explain, especially in View of the fact that several other varieties have been found to excel it in producing capacity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
