Fifth Barley Contest In 1950 Continues Under Institute Direction
The Barley Improvement Institute sponsors the 1950 National Barley Contest open to western Canadian growers with a minimum 1667 bushel entry. Manitoba splits into two regions offering seven cash prizes from 100 to 30 dollars, plus national awards of 1000 and 300 dollars. Manitoba has won the national title three times, most recently by J F Bradley of Portage la Prairie, while Alberta has held it once. A 90-member party of British parents travels on the Franconia to visit war brides in Canada and the United States.
