Dick Robbins Wins World's Flax Championship at Toronto Royal
Dick Robbins, 80, won the world's flax championship at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair with Victory flax sown May 10 on a 1 1/2 acre plot yielding 18 bushels per acre. The victory adds to his long record as Saskatchewan's leading exhibitor with multiple Royal wins. He received a $100 cheque and a trophy donated by Searle Grain Co, to be displayed locally. Robbins plans to return, having exhibited since 1923 across many classes and earned three times Saskatchewan's outstanding exhibitor honors.
