FROM A SINGLE GRAIN OF OATS.

A striking example of How a grain of seed will multiply has occurred on the farm of Mr Jas. Wylie,. of Areegra, Australia.

In 1907 one of his sons secured a handful of Manitoba wheat iiom a friend* Among the seed was a single grain of oats. This was planted and carefully protected, and it grew into a fine stalk. The grain was put aside and planted the following season, with satisfactory results.

Each succeeding year the quantity sown has increased, and this harvest a yield of 44 bags of oats was obtained. The average was 10 bags to the acre, and the result would have been much better but for the fact that a wind storm broke down portion of the crop.

Mr Wylieas very proud of his achievement, which he regards as a record in its way, and a demonstration of the productivity of the Manitoba oat.
