' PROPER SOILS AND PREPARATION OF
SEED BED FOR MORE AND BETTER OATS
DISK IS GOOD FOR PREPARING SOIL FOR OATS.
(Prepared by tho Unltod States Depart
mcnt ot Agriculture.)
The essentials for success in

Well-prepared lnnd that is re

Good seed of suttnhlo varie
ties, thoroughly cleaned and

Onts in tho United Stntes Is ex
ceeded In acreage and value only by
corn and wheat of tho grain crops.
Tho average area annunlly devoted
to this crop In this country In tho flvo
years from 1012 to 1010, Inclusive, wns
89,-f9,000 acres. This Is approximate
ly three-eighths of the acreage devoted
to corn, and three-fourths of tho ncrc
ago devoted to wheat In tho samo
years. Tho estimated average produc
tion of oats In these five years was 1,
200,487.000 bushels, with an esti
mated farm value of $521,430,000. But,
notwithstanding this, less attention
has been given to the production of
oats thnn to any other Importunt grain,
so that yields often have been unsatis
factory and tho' crop sometimes un
profitable. Best Soils fir Oats.
In tho production of oats proper
climatic and cultural conditions are
of more Importance than tho charac
ter or even the fertility of the soil.
Owing to their grcnter water-holding
capacity loam and clny soils usually
produce better crops thnn sandy soils,
ffnndy land with plenty of plnnt food
and a moderately stiff subsoil wyi
grow good oats, but heavy, undralned
clays are too wet and cold for tho best
growth of the crop. 'More water is
required to produce a pound of dry
matter in onts than In nny other
cereal; hence the necessity for grow
ing this crop on lnnd that nnturnlly
retains moisture or that Is well filled
with humus. On nccount of their liabil
ity to lodge, oats should not be grown
on very rich soli or on low, undralned
lands. Good drnlnnge Is essential also
la tho prevention of Injury from plant
diseases.
Fertilizers and Manures.
Though the crop is n vigorous feeder
and will do better on poor soils thnn
most other grain crops, the Judicious
use of fertilizers or nmnure Is usually
profitable. Tho fertilizer problem Is
made difficult, however, by tho fact
that on rich soli onts make n rank
growth, which often results in lodging
and In conditions fuvorablo to rust
and other diseases.. '
Unless the soli Is very low in fer
tility the direct application of barn
yard manure to tho crop Is seldom
advisable. Much more satisfactory
results usually can be obtained by ap
plying the manure previous to grow
ing some other crop In the rotation,
such aB corn. The oats then will get
tho benefit of a part of the manure
and of the added humus In tho soil,
with less dahger that n rank growth
of straw will bo made at the expense
of grain production. On very poor
soil a few loads of well-rotted manure
may be applied some time previous to
sowing onts. The munure should be
spread as evenly ns possible and
should be well worked Into the soil.
Tho use of a small quantity of raw
rock phosphate with the manure Is
.usually advlsuble.
Of the three most Important
plant-food elements, nitrogen, phos
phorus, and potnsh, phosphorus Is tho
one most often present In Insufficient
quantities for the best production of
onts.
Preparation of the Seed Bed.
Less attention ordinarily Is given to
tho preparation of tho seed bed for
oats than that for any other field crop.
In the corn belt, where outs commonly
follow corn, the seed Is often sown
broadcast without previous preparation
of the land. It Is then covered by
disking and harrowing. Much better
results are obtnlned, however, by
disking tho laud before seeding,
whether the seed is sown broadcast or
Is drilled. A good seed bed usually
can not be prepared with fewer than
two dlsklngs nnd at least one harrow
ing. If the oats are to be sown on
cornlund on which the stalks aro still
(standing, It Is good practice to break
tho stalks before disking. This can
be done readily, especially on a frosty
Horning, by dragging a heavy pole or
iron mil broadside across tho field.
The stalks then can be cut with n disk
harrow much better thnn If left stand
lug. If the disks of the disk harrow
aro sharp, they will cut the stalks Into
short pieces, which soon decny. It Is
nover ndvlsable to rake and burn
stnlks and other trash on cornfields
that are to bo sown to oats unless the
quantity Is so groat that It can not
possibly bo covered by disking. This
humus-mnklng "material should not bo
destroyed but should bo worked Into
tho soil.
Outs nlwnys should bo sown ns early
In the sprjng ns the land can bo work
ed, but tho proper preparation should
not bo sacrificed to gain a little time
In getting; the seed Into tho ground.
Onts do best when sown In n rather
firm seed bed, with two to thrco Inches
of loose, mellow soil on tho surface.
This can bo obtained best on corn
stnlk land by breaking the stnlks,
doublo disking either by lapping half
or cross disking, und thorough harrow
ing with a spike-tooth harrow. Lup
ping hnlf with a disk harrow leaves
the surface more nenrly even than when
the field Is disked. The disks should
bo set to ruh thrco or four Inches deep.
After the seed bed Is In good condition
tho seed should be sown add the field
again harrowed.
The land seldom Is plowed for oats
that follow a cultivated crop. Spring
plowing usually Is not profitable, ns
thero Is little timo to allow the sub
surfaco to becomo compact and the
land Is rarely In proper condition to
plow before the oats should be sown.
BROOD SOWS NEED EXERCISE
Essential In Production of Strong,
Vigorous Litters Make Them
Hustle for Corn Ration.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
One of tho biggest hindrances to tha
sows' farrowing good, strong, vigorous
litters Is lack of exercise. During the
cold and snowy weather hogs like to
Ho around the sleeping quarters and
bo comfortable. That, however, Is
Just what they should not do all the
time.
The proper exercise for a brood
sow Is that which she will take vol
untarily and not through force. They
should get their corn ration by hus
tling for it in tho stnlk fields and not
by getting It fed around tho sleeplnc
quarters, on feeding floors, "or In
troughs. Feed them car corn during
tho winter months nnd scatter It put
In tho stnlk fields. The manure
spreader is a good Implement to use
In Rcntterlng this corn. Donft bo nfrnld
it will bo wasted, for It won't. You
can readily regulate tho omount fed
so that It will be picked up clean, and
you will And next spring that thero la
not a bit of tho corn lying around to
go to wnsto.
BEES AID TO FRUIT GROWERS
Insect Has Important Place In Agrlcut
ture as Agent for Cross-Fer-tillzlng
Flowers.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment) of Agriculture.)
While beekeeping Is usually consid
ered only ns the Industry of honey pro
duction, It Is Important to remember
that the honey bee has an Important
plnce In American agriculture as an
agent for cross-fertilizing flowers. The
value of the honey bee In this regard
varies In different places and with dif
ferent seasons, but It Is conservative
to state that the bee Is of more value
In cross-fertilizing thnn In honey pro
duction. Many fruit blossoms re
quire cross-fcrtllizutlon before they
will set fruit, nnd the same thing Is
true of other plants, such ns the clo
vers and buckwhent. While many
wild species of Insects serve this pur
pose, tho honey beo Is the only ono
which enn bo Introduced economically
to an orchard or farm, and, therefore,
may serve as an Insurance to cross
fertilization if the weather' permits
their flight during the blooming period.
TROUBLE WITH COLT'S FEET
Examine Frequently for Thrush and
Keep Well Cleaned by Uae of Or
dinary Hoof Pick.
The colts kept li the barn should
be frequently examined for thrush,
and tho feet well clenned out with tho
hoof pick, after which a little strong
disinfectant and any of tho coal-tnr
products uro good should bo applied
with a Byrlngo or a brush. This will,
with proper care, eliminate the trouble.
