Biographical Note
Schoth was born in Hannah, Wyoming on May 24, 1891. He came to Oregon
Agricultural College as a student in 1909, and received the B.S. in 1914 and
the M.S. in 1917. Schoth worked as a Fellow at OAC from 1914-1916 and became an
instructor (courtesy) in Farm Crops in 1924. He went to work for the U.S.
Department of Agriculture in 1917 as a Scientific Assistant. During his USDA
career he was an Assistant Agronomist in Forage Crop Investigations, Associate
Agronomist and Senior Agronomist. Schoth retired from the USDA in 1961.
In 1926 he worked with Shifting Sand Dune Control for the U.S. Navy. In
1962 Schoth received the Gold Medal Award for Distinguished Service to
Agriculture from the Oregon Farm Bureau for developing nearly 50
commercially-improved varieties of legumes and grasses, which contributed to
the state's burgeoning seed industry. He also received an award from the
American Grasslands Council and the USDA's Superior Service Award. Schoth died
on July 31, 1975.

The collection includes correspondence with other agronomists and seed
companies, subject information files and research reports pertaining to
Schoth's research interests and field notebooks documenting field trials at the
