Oats Bet Stakes Tied to World-Beat Yield
Col Bell of Laramie posts a $10,000 challenge that he can raise oats from 100 acres to beat the world. A Canadian syndicate led by Prof W H Fairchild of Lethbridge backs the effort with planting underway for a September harvest and a national championship by the National Corn association. The contest allows unspecified seed, ground prep, or harvest methods and pits two farming systems against each other across borders. Ed Burke arrives from Shoshoni while A E Minium travels to Kansas City to visit Casper mountain asbestos projects.
