Mr Bryans oat crop figures spur debate on farming profits
The article quotes Mr. Bryan refuting a New York Republican claim that his Lincoln farm oats earned 1400 dollars on 120 acres. He notes the farm has only 30 acres, with five acres in oats, likely producing under 40 bushels an acre and low net returns after costs, challenging Republican portrayals of farm prosperity. It also covers partisan digs, Boise papers, and Towne's remarks on party betrayal and imperialism.
