The Baxter's July oat was received in the spring of 1905, from B. J. Baxter, 

 Pense, Sask., under that name. This sort was cut on August 8, while the earliest other 

 variety was cut August 20. The straw was very weak, but in ordinary years it may be 

 much stiffer. The yield was 90 bushels per acre, and on account of earliness this 

 variety is worthy of further trial.
