Corn Wheat Emerges In Eastern Washington Harvest
A new grain called cornewheat is being grown in eastern Washington. It combines corn and wheat traits, with corn fattening qualities and a wheatlike appearance. Grains are larger than ordinary wheat and yields reach 60 to 100 bushels per acre, potentially solving hog fattening in the Pacific Northwest where corn is hard to raise. The Autométer Jovenal notes a new traction engine called the pedrail that walks with a stride and hauls loads, likened to an elephant, advancing engineering traction.
