| Larcombe was an unsuccessful Farmer candidate in the 1920 Manitoba general election. He was a gifted gardener, however, and he attempted to prove that every vegetable grown in England could be produced in Manitoba. In 1917, he produced a rust-resistant strain that he called "Axminster," leading him to win the world's championship at an international exhibition in Peoria, Illinois, and making him one of the province's "Wheat Kings." |
