For The Second Time
For the second year in succession Messrs Archie Bayley and Russell MacGregor of Puha have won the national Olin Maize Yield competition. The award was presented by Mr Harold Sanden, United States Agricultural Attache. This took place at a function at the Sandown Park Hotel which was attended by a capacity crowd. Messrs Bayley and MacGregor's yield was 227.83 bushels per acre. Gisborne growers actually made a clean sweep of the first three places with local growers taking the other two prizes.
