GREGORY. Author of "Homo fourso In Modern Acrlcullurc" Copyright. 1909. by Amrrickn Tret Aaaoclttlon 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. N y i J I 5r I " ' 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. IP- mi &- Miss M.
