IV. Oat Growing
By C. V. GREGORY.
Author of "Homo fourso In Modern

EXT to w heat, onts nre the most
widely srown stimll grain
crop. It Is u crop that Is uouil
wl uu every fnrm for food, es
pecially for young stock ami horses.
In tlio corn bolt oats till In a place In
the rotation that cannot well he taken
by any other crop The work of seed
ing and harvesting Ills In well with the
work of growing a corn crop; hence
oats are and probably always will be
an important crop in the corn belt.
It) spite of these reasons for growing
oats they are not usually considered to
ho n prolltnble crop. Tho price Is less
than that of com and the yield usual-
F1Q. VII GOOD AND TOOn STACKS.
ly considerably lower. Most farmers
raise oats more because they have to
than because they think thero Is any
money In It. If handled rightly, how
ever, oats can be made n mouey crop.
One of the most Important points In
oat growing Is the selection of seed
that Is adapted to tho locality. Oats
aro n cool wenther crop. Tho hot
midsummer weather of the corn belt
is one of the chief factors causing low
oat yields. When the hot weather
strikes the oats they blight and rust
badly. Many times they crinkle down
and do not fill well.
Advantage of Early Varieties.
The only way this can be avoided In
the corn belt Is to sow early varieties.
These ripen before the hottest weather
comes and escape many of the trou
bles that 11(10(51 later oats. Early va
rieties are much less susceptible to
rust than late ones arc. The selection
of rust proof varieties is the only way
of combating this disease, since, un
like smut, it cannot bo prevented by
treating the seed.
Experiments n,t the Iowa experiment
station show nine bushels more to the
acre in favor of eaily varieties. The
average of twelve years experiments
dt the Nebraska station gave the early
oats fourteen bushels to the acre ad
vuntage. In good oat ycarsthat Is.
those with a cool summer the differ
ence is not so marked. In such sea
sons the late oats yielded seven bush
els to the acre less thau the early,
while the medium oats yielded a little
more. In bad oat years and in tho
corn belt four years out of live are bad
from the oats standpoint the early va
rieties yielded twenty-one bushels to
tho ncro more thau tho late and thir
teen bushels more than the medium.
The medium vnrletlcs are more con
venient, as they do not crowd In on
haying and corn plowing' like the early
ones do. The use of Improved haying
machinery Is shortening tho time re
quired for putting up the hay crop,
however. The advautnge of early oats
In yield will In most cases more than
make up for tho disadvantage of hav
ing the work crowded during the first
half of July
Early oats have another advantage
in that they give the clover a bet
ter chance. Where tho oats arc not
got off the ground until the last of
I July nnd dry weather follows, as It
so often does, tho clover maues little
growth and Is often killed out entire
ly. With the adoption of a systematic
rotation clover will nearly always be
seeded with oats, so that this Is a point
that cannot be Ignored.
It Is not advisable to ship In oats
from a distance to seed the entire
field. Often you can get good early
seed from neighbor at little more
than market price. If there are no
early oats in your community you can
send away for a few bushels of a new
variety and plant them in a corner of
the field by themselves. If they give
good satisfaction enough seed can bo
saved from them to seed tho entire
Held tho next season. In the northern
part of the United States and in Can
ada, where the summers nre cool, late
varieties can be profitably grown. In
such localities they give n greater
yield and a larger, plumper oat.
Preparing the Seed.
After tho seed has been procured tho
nest step Is to get it into shape to
sow. Tills means a liberal use of the
fanning mill A large per cent of the
oats sown are shoveled from tho bin
directly into the seeder. Most farm
ers who do fan their oats simply run
them through once to blow nut the
ptlcks and dirt and sieve out the weed
socd. It pays well to run tho oats
through the mill two tr three times
to blow out all the llit seed. The
work can lie done In winter when
thuro is little else to do. The light
oat tliat are blown out nre Just as
good for food as the othors. and the
heavy ones that are left are worth sev
eral times as much for seed. " Iu ex
jiorluients carried on to show the com
imratlvo value of light and heavy oats
file II"lir siifl 1 loliloil fnrir-sm-nn tneh.

rls to the acre, tho nullum fifty-four
lud the heavy sixty-two. Tho differ
ence may not be this great every time,
But it will always bo great enough to
pay ' well for the labor of fanning,
riicro h an objection to using tho
heavy oats for seed in that they tend
;o bccoino a little later each year. This
:an he avoided by Introducing some
now seed of an early variety overy
fow years. Directions for breeding
iced oats will be given in article 7.
After the oats nre cleaned and grad
ed they should bo treated for smut
Smut is n black fungus that grows
from a tiny spore that lodges beneath
the hull when the oat Is In bloom nnd
the kernel open. When the hull closes
the spore Is held Inside until the next
season, when It sprouts and sends a
thread up "through the stem to tho
head. There the smut grows, produc
ing n black mass whero the head
should be. Often as many ns 1G per
cent of the heads will bo affected in
this way. These black heads nro not
easily noticed, so that tho damn go is
usually underestimated.
The simplest method of treatment Is
to spread the oats out on n tight iloor
and sprinkle them with a solution of
one pound of formalin to forty gallons
of water. This amount Is sulllclcut
for forty bushels of oats. Shovel tho
oats over two or three times until thoy
are thoroughly wet, nnd then ple them
up and cover them with blankots or
sacks. Tho fumes from tho formnlln
will penetrate beneath tho hull nnd
kill the smut spores. In the morning
the oats Bholild be Bprcad out again
and shoveled' over occasionally until
dry. They can be Bowed wet, but In
that case the seeder should bo sot to
sow about 11 bushel to tho aero more,
as they do not run through ns readily.
This work should bo done on n warm
day, ns freezing while tho oats nro wet
will Injure the germination. This treat
ment costs only about n cent n bushel
and Is very effective.
Preparing the Seed Bed.
One of tho most neglected points In
ont culture Is tho preparation of tho
seed bed. Oats do hotter on n rather
firm seed bed. If the field was In corn
tho year previous It will not be neccs
Bary to plow unless tho ground Is very
hnrd. It should bo disked thoroughly,
however, to cut up tho stalks and pul
verize the upper two or three Inches.
It will usually be profitable to let tho
disk "lap half," as this does nway
with ridges nnd leaves the Inud In
better shnpe. One harrowing after tho
disking leaves the ground In splendid
shapo to receive the seed.
Method of Seeding.
There aro soveral methods of seed
ing, of which tho end gate seeder Is
the worst and the disk drill the best
Tho two main objects In seeding nro
to get tho seed in evenly nnd at ap
proximately tho Biinio depth. The end
gnte seeder fulfills neither of these re
quirements. Tho broadcast seeder scat
ters tho seed evenly, but it Is covered
no bettor than with tho end gate seed
er since both depend upon tho disk for
covering. The disk drill is moro ex
pensive nnd docs not get over the
ground ns rapidly, but It distributes
tho seed evenly nnd puts It at tho
same depth. The seed Is dropped in
furrows made by tho' disks and thor
oughly covered, so that ono harrowing
Is all that Is necessary after drilling.
Experiments show a considerable ad
vantage In yield in favor of the disk
drill.
At the Iown station the average of
four years' experiments showed nine
bushels to the acre In favor of drilling
over broadcasting. From half a bush
el to a bushel less seed to the acre is
required when a drill Is used, as all
Fia. VIII HAVE ailAIN WULIi SHOCKED.
the seed is put where it can grow tc
the best advantage. Clover has a bet
ter chance In drilled grain. Tho drill
should be run north und south, so that
the sun can shine In between the rows
on the little clover plants.
Harvesting the Crop.
Preparation for harvest should he
made by having tho bluder In perfect
running order beforehand. If oats are
not cut ns soon as ripe they will al
most surely go down and be lost.
Great care should be taken iu shocking
to see that the bundles stand up firm
ly. If the straw Is not too green the
fehocks should be capped, as a capped
shock will shed rain better. A shock
that stands up straight aud Is weU
capped will shed n great deal of rain
without wetting in much. It is much
Cotter to stack thun to thrash out of
the shock. The oats will sweat some
whore, nnd they will be of better qual
Ity if they do It In the stack lustend
of In the bin. It has been proved many
times over that thcro Is nothing to be
gained by thrashing oats from the
bhock. Oats that have been permitted
to go through the sweutlug process in
a well protected stack are nlwnys of
better quality thau those which have
becu hurried into the thrasher.
