The 1950 Persian Walnut Contest
Spencer B. Chase, Contest Chairman, Tennessee Valley Authority, Norris, Tennessee
The nationwide Persian Walnut Contest conducted by NNGA in 1950 attracted 33 entries from 11 states. The contest was judged by H. L. Crane, L. H. MacDaniels, and H. F. Stoke, assisted by S. B. Chase.
The entries were first evaluated independently by the judges. Then each judge made a second evaluation with the knowledge of the findings of the other two judges.
