103. North Pacific oat district. This district includes 

 the Pacific Coast cultivated area from the head of the 

 Sacramento Valley to and including British Columbia 

 and northern Idaho. Conditions in western Washing-

 yields of oats. Large-kerneled, late white varieties, 

 such as Big Four and Improved American, are the best
