OATS TOWER
SEVEN FEET HIGH.
Wonderful Grain Raised on the
Whiting Ranch In har's Basin.
Goes to State Fair.

DR.. J. A. Whiting came to Delta last
Tuesday from his big ranch in Hart's
Basin and brought one of the greatest
grain exhibits that will ever be seen
any where. Oats that stand seven feet
high, with grain heads 25 inches in
length and counting as many as 5l6
kernals on single head. 1t will be
many day before anything superior is
shown in Delta or at the state fair,
where these oats are destined to go.
The Whiting ranch is one of the great
ranches in Delta county. The oat fielo
from which the above exhibit was taken
contains 200 acres ard it is conserva-
lively estimated the yield will average
100 bushels TO the acre. If this average
is obtained it will be worthy of tn.
widest publicity. for it is doubtful if 5
similar record can be shown any where
in the state of Colorado for the same
number of acres.
Harvesting this great crop Of grain
is now in progress. Three binders are
working daily and novel feature il
that the grain is so tall it towers above
the horses.
On the Whiting ranch there is 500
acres of alfalfa. The three times a
season harvest of this hay crop is a
large task and necessitates a great deaI
of labor. Six mowers and three rake
are kept at work. Such vast fields Of
hay and grain must be an interestinC
sight.
DR.. Whiting promises several hundred
acres of sugar beets if Delta secures ii
factory and the railroad will run a shor;
spur so that loading can be done within
a reasonable distance. He says if q
spur seven or eight miles in length
could be secured, no less than Loo arc
possibly !, 200 acres of beets would l.,
planted in the basin. He consider
their soil the best in the county for
beet production.
