Has Champion Stalk Of Oats.


Mason City, Aug. 11.-There is Just
now q good deal Of interest in several
parts OF the state over the number
OF grains that can be raised on an oat
straw. At one time 100 grains were
considered big. J. A. vipond, of AL
gona, took an interest in the matter
and he found one in his field that
numbered 1876 perfect grains, and in
the entire field there were few with
less than 100. Not to be beaten with
out some effort. Frank Wolfe. who re-
sides in Prairie township in Kossuth
county, went into his field and pulled
one stalk that has PA double grains,
making a total of 1928, and this was
from one oat seed. The head Of the
straw Is a little over fifteen inches
long. For fear this may be cbntradict-
ed by some doubling Thomas, the
stalk Is now on exhibition in the Kunz
