OREGON HAS CHANCE TO
CAPTURE BIG WHEAT PRIZE

Oregon should capture the
prize for the best five bushels OF
wheat grown in the American
Northwest this year, but to do
so will require careful selection
and indeed it may be necessary
to hand pick the wheat II will
pay to do II for n prize Of So, 600
is offered by the Northwest de-
partment League for the best
! five bushels exhibited at the
Minneapolis Land Show in Nov
ember. With the splendid grain
crop assured for Oregon, this
state should have any quantity
of first class wheat to enter at
this show.
Commercial bodies of the state
are showing an interest in the
collection of Oregon exhibits to
be shown this winter Mt the land
shows of the Middle West. In
response to n call sent out by
Manager Chapman Of the Oregon
Development League, many out
side societies have been heard
from, each promising to collect
samples of the best products
grown there this season and II
seems good collection is assur-
ed. No locality should allow
itself to be unrepresented.
