BIG SWEDISH OATS
Bert Edwards of Columbus has
brought a specimen of Swedish
Star Oats into the county agent’s
office. This probably is the largest
stalk ever grown in this county.
They are over six feet tall and
the stalk is larger than a lead
pencil at the ground. The oats
rrn. 4k? seen growing between the
eni Sees to the County Home
and Prison Camp just north west
of Columbus. This may develop
to be a splendid oat for hay with
this much foliage. If the grain
yield is good it would also be a
splendid grain oat. It is a very
late oat which some may not like
but others may prefer.
