The finest specimen of ats that
we have ever seen is nov On cXhibi
! ton at The Courier office. This small
sample is not a crop specimen, but
rather an indication Of the great pos
Sibilitics Of oats under ideal cOndi-
tions. The bunch comprises a "stool"
OF l02 stalks, the product Of one oat
grain. The top Of the head stood
about 4 feet from the ground. The
stalks average about 100 grains,
some having as low as 80, others as

active, continued and systematic cul-
tivation in we'll spaced rows would
be worth while experiment.
