The new wheat and oats champion wasborn at Kendrick, Idaho, 31 yaara ago and came to .Mberta with his parents in 1900. He waa edacated at Edmonton and graduated from the University of AJberta aa a civil engineer. During the war, he served with the Canadian Air Force, and in 220, while on a aurvey in the Peace ver country, northweat of Edmcn- cultural area where millions of acres of good land still await set tlement. In the sixteen years of the Inter- national competitions at Chicago, this is the fourteetith time the award of the grand championship has come to a Canadian. Trelle's pnze-winning wheat waa of the Marouia variety, which was originated at the Canadian Government Experimental Farm at Ottawa, Ijy Dr. Charles Saunders in 1904. It waa a sample from a 68-acre field, which yielded about 4,000 bushels or approxi mately 70 bushels to the acre. His prize- winning oats were Victory strain which yielded about 150 bushels to the acre.â€" Canadian National Railway! photograph. __ An Oid-Tmw Inn.
