o,t stalk. Over Seven Feet HIGH.

Oats rising seven and half feet
from the ground and carrying heavy
heads are reality. They were grown
by Henry Stenerson at Sawtelle, Cal.
These immense stalks are the result of
considerable study and experimenting
on the part of Stenerson. He has pro-
duced about half an acre of the high
oats this season and intends TO sow
more next year. The commercial value
of the enlarged variety lies in the
great amount of hay which will result
from the increased size of the stalks.
Stenerson Is himself giant In stature,
being six feet five inches tall.
