Rescuing High Protein Wheat From Old Dame Winter
H. J. Cogan of Park county Montana dug out shocks buried under two and a half feet of snow and completed belated 1925 threshing on February 10 yielding 380 bushels of high grade protein wheat. The operation took twenty days with four-fifths spent digging snow and only four days threshing. The crop barely sprouted as 1925 lingered into 1926.
