GREGORY, ' Author of "Home Course In Modern Agriculture" Copyrilht. 1909, by American Press Association NEXT to wheat, oats are the most widely grown small grain crop, It Is a crop that Is ueed ed on every farm for feed, es pecially for young stock and horses. In tho corn belt oats fill In a place In tho rotation that cannot well 1m taken by any other crop. The work of seed ing and harvesting tits In well with the work of growing a corn crop; hence oats are and probably always will be an important crop In the com belt In spite of these reasons for growing oats they art not usually considered to lie a proiitable cmp. The price is less thau that of com and the yield usual- V: t eS FIO. VII OOOD AND 1'OOR STACKS. ly considerably lower. Most farmers raise outs more because they have to than because they think there Is any money in it. If handled rightly, how ever, oats can bo made a money crop. One of the most Important points lu oat growing is tho selection of seed that is adapted to the locality. Oats are a cool weather crop. The hot midsummer weather of tho corn belt is one of the chief factors causing low oat yields. When the hot weather strikes the wits they blight and rust badly. Many times they crinkle down and do not till 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 affect later oats. Early va rieties are much less susceptible to rust than late ones are. 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 at the Iowa experiment station show nine bushels more to the ncre in favor of early varieties. The average of tweve years experiments at the Nebraska station gave the early onts fourteen bushels to the ncre ad vantage. In good oat years that Is. those with n cool summer the differ ence Is not so marked. In such sea sons the late oats yielded seven bush els to the acre less than the early, while the medium oats yielded a little more. In bad oat years and in the corn belt four years out of five are bad from the oats standpoint the early va rieties yielded twenty-one bushels to the acre more than the late and thir teen bushels more than the medium. The medium varieties are more con venient, as they do not crowd in on haying and coru plowing like the early ones do. The use of Improved haying machinery Is shortening the time re quired for putting up the hay crop, however. The advantage of early oats In yield will In most cases more than make up for the 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 the oats are not got off the ground until the last of July and dry weather follows, na It so often does, the clover makes little growth and Is ofteu killed out entire ly. With the adoption of a, systematic rotation clover will pearly always be seeded with oats, so Kut this Is u point that cannot be ignored. It Is not advisable to ship tn oats from a distance to seed the entire field. Often you can get good early seed from a 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 pliant them in a corner of tho field by themselves. If they give good satisfaction enough seed cao be saved from them to seed the entire field the nest season. In the northern part of the United States and lu Can nda, where the summers are cool, late varieties can be profitably grown. In such localities they give a greater yield and a larger, plumper oat. Preparing the Seed. After the seed has been procured the next step Is to get it Into shape to sow. This means a liberal use of the fanning mill. A large per cent of the oats sown arc shoveled from the bin directly Into the seeder Most farm ers who do fan their oats simply run them through once to blow out the sticks and dirt and sieve out the weed seed. It pays well to run the oats through tho mill two cr threo times to blow out nil tho ll'.it seed. The work can be done In winter when there Is little else to do. The light oats that are blown out are Just aa good for feed as the others, and the heavy ones that are left are worth sev eral times as much for seed. In ex periments carried on to show the com parative value of light and heavy oats J fje li','ht seed yielded forty-seven bush StFtft' lit els to the acre, the medium fifty-four and the heavy sixty-two. The differ ence may not be this great every time, but it will always lie great enough to pay well for the. labor of fanning. There is an objection to uslu tho heavy oats for seed lu that they tend to leeome a little later each year. This : pan be avoided by Introducing some new seed of an early variety every few years. Directions for brooding seed oats will be given In article 7. After the oats are cleaned and grad ed they should be treated for smut. Smut Is a black fungus that grows from a tiny spore that lodges beneath the hull when the oat Is In bloom and 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 tho stem to the head. There the smut grows, produc ing a black mass where the bead should be. Often as many ns 15 per cent of the heads will be affected In this way. These black heads are not easily noticed, so that the damage Is usually underestimated. The simplest method of treatment Is to spread the oats out on a tight floor and sprinkle them with a solution of one pound of formalin to forty gallous of water. This amount is sulllelent for forty bushels of oats. Shovel the oats over two or three times until they are thoroughly wet. and then pile them up and cover them with blankets or sacks. The fumes from the formalin, will penetrate beneath the hull ami kill the smut spores. In the morning the oats should be spread out ngalu and shoveled over occasionally until dry. They can be sowed wet, but in that case the seeder should be set to sow about a bushel to the acre more, as they do not run through ns readily. This work should be done ou a warm day. as freezing whilo the onts are wet will injure the germination. This treat ment costs only nbout a cent a bushel and Is very effective. ' Preparing the Seed Bed. One of the most neglected points In oat culture Is the preparation of the seed bed. Oats do better on a rather firm seed bed. If tho field was inborn the year previous It will not lie neces sary to plow unless the ground l very hard. It should bo disked thoroughly, however, to cut up tho stalks and pul verize the upper two or three inches. It will usually be proiitable to let the disk "lap half," as this does away with ridges and leaves the lar.il l:i better shape. One harrowing after the disking leaves the ground In splendid shape to receive the seed. Methods of Seeding. There are several methods of seed ing, of which the end gate seeder Is the worst and the disk drill the best. The two main objects In seeding are to get tho seed In evenly and at ap proximately the same depth. The end gate seeder fulfills neither of these re quirements. The broadcast seeder scat ters the seed evenly, but It is covered no better than with the end gate seed er since both depend upon the disk for covering. The disk drill Is more ex pensive and does not get over the ground as rapidly, but it distributes the seed evenly and puts it at the same depth. The seed is dropped In furrows made by the disks and thor oughly covered, so that one harrowing Is all that Is necessary after drilling. Experiments show a considerable nd vantage In yield In favor of the disk drill. At the Iowa station the average of four years' experiments shewed 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 FIO. V1U HAVE GRAIN WELL SHOCKED. the seed Is put where It can grow to the best advuutage. Clover has a bet ter chance In drilled grain. The drill should be ruu north and south, so that the sun can shine In between the row 9 on the little clover plants. Harvesting the Crop. Preparation for harvest should be made by having tho binder In perfect running order beforehand. If oats are not cut as soon as ripe they will al most surely go down and be lost. Great care should be taken In shocking to see that the bundles stand up firm ly. If the straw is not too green the Knocks should be capped, as a capped shock will shed rain, better. A shock that stauds up straight and is well capped will shed a great deal of rain without wetting in much. It Is much better to stack than to thrash out of the shock. The oats will sweut some where, and they will be of better qual ity If they do It In the stack Instead of In the bin,' It has been proved many times over that there Is nothing to hi gained by thrashing onts from the hhock. Oats that have been permitted to go through the sweating process In u well protected stack are always of better quality than those which have brrn hurried Into the thrasher. & ml ft Amazing Appetites. The appetite of u whale Is wonder ful. His chief diet consists of Jelly fish. He hits simply to open his mouth ami paddle along leisurely in order to take in Jellyfish hy the cart load. Such Is the method adopted by the whalebone whale. The sperm whale, on the contrary, captures huge shoals of fish, weighing oftoif several tons. Like his brother, tho whalebone whale he must be constantly on tho lookout for food. Otherwise he would starve. As many as 14 seals have been taken from a 30-feet "killer." Othei fishes of enormous appetites are not uncommon. The bluefish, for example thrives on sardines and other small fish. Most curious of all eaters Is the hydra, a strange creature that can be turned inside out without imparlug Its appetite or Its power to eat. Small Quarters for Moses. Donald Is fond of itlble stories. Ills auntie whs relating to him the story of Moses in the basket of bulrushes, when he earnestly Inquired: "Did he ever grow to bo a mauT" "Yes," he was told. "A great big man?" "Yes." Donald remarked Incredulously, "Well I'd h thought he'd a busted tti basket ."Delineator. Legal Notice. State of Nebraska, Cass County. (' In County Court.
