IS ALL ABOUT OATS
RESULTS OF TESTS AND THE
RATES OF SOWING,
BV THE EXPERIMENT STJI3N
What Is Shown by an Investigation
of Six Years. Other Matters at
the State Capital.
Tho Nebraska rxpeiiinciit Station
has Just Issued Bulletin No. 1115, en
titled "Oats." It discusses results of
variety tests, diruoiit r.itcs or sowing
and the cultlvat,on of cuts.
During the pn-t six years some
twenty wirlctles have been tested, and
about twelve of these varieties liavu
been tested for a period of five years.
The varieties can be siiinmailzed Into
early types and late types. The early
varieties, which have ripened on an
average July 11th, have averageel 5:!.'.i
bushuls per acre, while the late va
rieties have ripened on an average
July 20th, and liuve given an average
yield of about -10.1 bushels, ; differ
ence or about 1 1 bushels per acre as
an average for lle years. In favor of
the early varieties of oats. Sixty Day,
Kherson and Texas Red, among the
early varieties, are tho ones most
hlghely recommended. Among the
lato varieties. Lincoln Oats have
given best results.
Various rates or seeding Kher.ion
oats have been tested since J!to::. Re
sults have shown .In general that
uliiml eight pecks per aero gives Ivst
results when the Kherson oats are
drilled nnd about ten pecks per aero
when they are sown broadcast. How
ever, the rate of secil'ins depends
somewhat upon the variety ot oats
uhciI. There is a table showing the
relative size or gra.u in different
varieties of oats, which demonstrates
that with a small-grained variety ot
oats, like Kherson, eight pecks will
litrnlsh about as many plants per acre
as fourteen or nineteen pecks of larger-grained
varieties. Hence, the rate
of seeding depends a great deal upon
tho size ol' the grain. Counts have
been mailo upon the different rates of
sending for two yenra to determine
the number or plants and number of
suckers or tillers produced per acre.
Where the planting Is thin the plants
tiller freely, and almost as many
heads per aero aro produced where
four pecks is used as where eight
pecks Is used, duo to tho stoollng of
the oats under thin planting.
Cultivation of oats has been prac
ticed since 1S98, experiments being
conducted with plants sown In wide
rows, 12 to 21 Inches apart, also ex
periments where the oats have been
sown with the regular drill and broad
cast and afterwards harrowed with
an ordinary smoothing harrow or
weeder. It has not been found advis
able) to plant oats In drills wide apart
except in u very dry season, when
drilling twelve inches apart gavo fair
results. Where oats have been sown
tho ordinary way with a drill and har
rowed from one to three times soon
after tho oats came up, an aveiago
Increase in yield of t.8 bushels for a
period of seven years has resulted.
However, whoro the oatr, wero sown
broadcast, harrowing has given a
slight decrease in yield, due to the
fact that many plants were destroyed
In harrowing. It Is recommended
that oats bo drilled and harrowed.

Buffalo County Must Pay.
Buffalo county must pay the J.'WO
premium on the bond or Cointy Treas
urer Gilbert 10. Ilaase. The supremo
court holds that alter the county
board approved a bond that its ells
cretlon as to paying the premium
terminates and that It Is up to the
board to pay. In this case the bond
was written an 1 wns artci-wards ap
proved by the county bo..rd. Tho
board thought that the statute relat
ing to the payment of bonds was not
mandatory and that the board could
refuse to pay all or part or none of
the premium.
A further indication that tho uni
versity authorities aro tightening up
tho strings on scholarship was Indi
cated by a meeting or tho delinquency
coinmlttee. Thrcu students in tho
university wore dismissed on account
or failure) in their studies, which
makes a total of thlrty-ouo since last
Soptemher. Thero Is no doubt but
that the requirements nro much more
rigid than they hnvo been, and the
university authorities on tho whole
are taking nioro direct Interest In tho
welfare or the students.

SEED TIME IS NEAR.
All Corn for Pl-ntlng Should Be Prop
erly Tc3ted.
he best way to test seed com Is In
a m rinliintlon box. This Is a simple
n'Talr and can bo made by anyone In
an hour's time.
Take a box six Inches deep and
about two by three feet in size. FIR
the box about half full or moist ellrt,
wind or sawdust. Press It well down,
so It will hnvo a smooth, oven stir
race. Now tako a white cloth nhmitj
tun size of the box, rule It off checker-,
board fashion, making squares one
and a half Inches ench way. Num
ber the checks 1, 2, :i, and so on.
Place this over the sand, dirt or saw
dust. Take the ears to be tested nnd'
either lay them out on the lloor and
mark a number In front of each or
attach a numbered tag. Now take off
about six kernels from each ear (not
all from the same place, but at sev
eral points on all sides.) Put these
kernels on the squares corresponding
in number to those placed on the ears
of corn. Bo careful not to get them
mixed. Keep the ears numbered to
ccirrespoiiel EXACTLY with tho num
bers on the scpiares or cloth.
After the kernels have been placed
carefully on the cloth which covers
the moist sand, dirt or sawdust, cover
them with another doth, considerably
larger than tho box; cover this cloth
with about two Inches ol' tho same
moist sand and keep the box in a
w a rin place. It must not get cold.
The kernels will germinate in four
to six elnys.
Remove the cover carefully to avoid
misplacing the kernels. Kxamlne
them carefully. Some will have long
sprouts, but almost no roots; others
will not have grown at all, but tho
kernels from ears which will produce
corn If planted v,IH have both sprouts
and good toot systems.
Compare the numbers on tho
squares with those cm the ears. Put
back Into tho feeding corn bin tho
ears which correspond in number to
tho numbers on the squares where
the kernels did not giow or where
they hhoweel only weak roots.
Tlie ears numbered corresponding
to those on tho cloth which showed
strong signs of life are the ones to
preserve for seed. JOvery kernel from
these ears should produce a stalk, ev
ery stalk an oar.
Suppose one dead ear is planted.
The planter fails to get one thousand
stalks of corn almost twelve bushels
of corn lost.
A number of seed corn testers aro
manufactured for sale. They are all
good any Implement dealer or seed
house will know where to get them.
Word was received at Gothenburg
of the death or O. Borgstrotn in Ten
nessee. Mr. Bergstrcm was the
founder of Gothenburg and took an
active interest in Its growth,
tallied loo much moisture. It has
been my opinion that corn which re
mained In the Held would bo in tho
best condition, but I may be mistaken
in tills and we aro going to test every
ear of corn berorc we plant It."
Chancellor Cancels Dates.
A severe nttack of throat trouble
has forced Chancellor Samuel Avery
of the Stato university to cancel a
large number of engagements for ad
dresses over the state. lie was
booked to deliver fifteen speeches dur
ing the next two weeks, but will not
bo able to deliver any of these. Dur
ing the last throo months tho chan
cellor has been on several speaking
tours and tho strain of speaking
every day has proved too great a
strain on his endurance. His physi
cian has advised him to cancel all
speaking engagements.
Boy "Flunkers" Predominate.
A list of failures in the various de
partments of tho stato university for
the last semester shows that of tho
total number of "Hunkers" SO per cent
are boys and only 20 per cent girls.
Five boys fnlled to pass in one or
more studies during tho semester for
every coed that could mako a per
cent of till the passing grade In her
dases. In other years tho failures
among the boys have always outnum
bered those of the coeds, but tho vari
ance has never been so startling as
that revealed by figures for the first
semester of tho present school year.
State Oil Inspector Mullen turned

receipts of his ofllco for the month of
