In practic ally every sample the embry onic head in the various stages of development appeared heal thy. This was not true of the win ter barlev which was in the boot or comtne out of the boot when the freeze occurred. The severely damaeed plants and parts of fields are now easily seen. An examination of emerg ed heads from apparently healthv plants show that there may be some damage. This would be by partial filling of the heads. A well-timed rain could off set any losses now showing by Increasing the yields from those' plants not damaged.
