Canada Wins 1500 Dollar Trophy At National Exposition
Canada dominates the National Corn Exposition in Columbus winning the $1500 Colorado River trophy for the best peck of oats. Hill & Son of Lloydminster Saskatchewan grown oats received top honors amid strong world competition with Canadian wheat barley and vegetables also earning prizes. The report notes large homestead entries and rising western Canadian agricultural prospects for 1911 along with shifts in immigration and increasing demand for government agricultural literature. A humorous aside recalls a band drummer and a bystander quipping about music quality.
