BY THE 'EXPERIMENT STATION What Is Shown by an InvcBtlfitlon of Six Years. Other Matters at the State Capital. The Nebraska Kxperiinunt Station /inn / just Issued Hullotln No. US , entitled - titled "Oats. " It tilBcimus results of variety tests , dlfCoront rates of ROW In i ; and the cultivation of oats. During the im ° t six yearn porno twenty varieties have been tested , and about twelve of UIOHU varieties have boon tested for a period of llvo years. The varletlea can be summarized Into early types and late types. The early varieties , which have ripened on an average July llth , huvo averaged 53. ! ) bushels per acre , whllo the late va rieties have ripened on an average July 20th , and have given an average yield of about 40.1 bushels , a differ ence of about 11 bushels per acre as an average for Ilyo years , in favor of the early varieties of oats. Sixty Day , Kherson and Texas Red , among the early varieties , arc the ones most hlgholy recommended. Among the late varieties , Lincoln Oats hnvo given best results. Various rates of Heeding Kherson oats have been tested since 1903. lie- suits have shown in general that about eight pecks per acre gives best results when the Kherson oats are drilled and about ten pecks per acre when they are sown broadcast. How ever , the rate of seeding rtqpends somewhat upon the variety of oats used. There is a table showing the relative size of gra.u in different varieties of oats , which demonstrates that with a small-grained variety of oats , like Kherson , eight pecks will furnish about as many plants per acre as fourteen or .nineteen pecks of lar ger-grained varieties. Hence , the rate of Boedlng depends a great deal upon the size of the grain. Counts have been made upon the different rates of seeding for two yeara to determine the number of plants and number of suckers or tillers produced per acre. Where the planting IB-thin the plants tiller freely , and almost as many heads per acre are produced where four pecks Is used as where eight pecks Is used , duo to the stoollng of the oats under thin planting. Cultivation of oats has been prac ticed since 1898 , experiments being conducted with plants sown in wide rows , 12 to 24 Inches apart , also ex periments where the oats have been sown with the regular drill and broad cast and afterwards harrowed Avith an ordinary smoothing harrow or weeder. It has not been found advis able to plant oats in drills wide apart except In a very dry season , when drilling twelve inches apart gave fair results. Where oats , have been sown the ordinary way with a drill and har rowed from ono to three times aoon after the oats came up , an average increase In yield of 4.8 bushels for a period of seven years has resulted. However , where the oata wore sown broadcast , harrowing has given a slight decrease In yield , duo to the fact that many plants were destroyed in harrowing. It Is recommended that oats bo drilled and harrowed. Residents of Nebraska whose names are not on the Station mailing list may obtain this bulletin free of cost by applying to 13. A. BURNETT , Director , Agricultural Experiment Station , Lincoln , Neb. Buffalo County Must Pay. Buffalo county must pay the $370 premium on the. bond of County Treas urer Gilbert E. Haase. The supreme court holds that after the county board approved a bond that Its dis cretion ns to paying the premium lonnlnatcs and that It Is up to the board to pay. In this case the bond was written and was afterwards ap proved by the county board. The board thought that the statute relat ing to the payment of bonds was nol mandatory and that the board couli ; refuse to pay all or part or none of the premium. A further Indication that the unl vorslty authorities are tightening up the strings on scholarship was Indl cated by a meeting of the delinquency committee. Three students In the university were dismissed on account of failure in their studies , whlcl makes a total of thirty-one since last September. There Is no doubt but that the requirements are much more rigid than they have been , and the university authorities on the whole are taking more direct Interest In the welfare of the students. Adjutant General Hartlgan desires pory much that both regiments of the Nebraska National Guard go to Fort Jllloy for the encampment , which has boon changed from September to Au gust 1C. Ho has written the war department partment to see Just how many men ho will bo permitted to bring along , but as yet has received no reply. No company whoso men and otllcors number loss than forty-threo will bo permitted to go , so companies with a loss number will bo forced to recruit up to past that number or be loft at borne. SEEDTIME IS NEAR. All Corn for Planting Should De Properly - , erly Tested , The best way to tent seed corn IB In , a germination box. This Ifl a simple affair and can bo made-by nuyono In ; an hour's time. T.IKU a box six inches deep nncL about two by three feet in size. Fill ) tin ; box about half full of moist dirt , , sand or sawdust. Press it well downj so It will have a smooth , oven sur face. Now Uiko a white cloth about , the size of the box , rule it off checkerboard - ! board fashion , making squares one , and a half Inches each way. Num- ) or the checks 1 , 2 , 3 , and BO on. ' Place this over the sand , dirt or saw- * lust. lust.Take Take the ears to be tested and cither lay them out on the floor and nark a number In front of each or attach a numbered tag. Now take oft about six kernels from each ear ( not all from the same place , but at sev eral points on all sides. ) Put these cornels on the squares corresponding n number to those placed on the cars of corn. Bo careful not to get them nixed. Keep the cars numbered to correspond EXACTLY with the num- ) crs on the squares of cloth , After the kernels have been placed carefully on the cloth which covers .ho moist sand , dirt or sawdust , cover hem with another cloth , considerably arger than the box ; cover this cloth with about two inches of the same moist sand and keep the box In a. warm place. It must not get cold. The kernels will germinate In four to six days. Remove the cover carefully to avoid misplacing the kernels. Examine them carefully. Some will have long sprouts , but almost no roots ; others will not have grown at all , but the cornels from ears which will produce corn if planted will have both sprouts and good root systems. Compare the numbers on the squares with those on the ears. Put , back into the feeding corn bin the ears which correspond In number to . \io \ numbers on the squares where1 the kernels did not grow or where , they showed only weak roots. The cars numbered corresponding' ' to those on the cloth which showed , strong signs of life are the ones to preserve for seed. Every kernel from Lheso ears should produce a stalk , ev ery stalk an ear. Suppose ono dead car Is planted. The planter falls to get one thousand ; stalks of corn almost twelve bushels of corn lost. A number of seed corn testers are manufactured for sale. They are all , good any implement dealer or seed liouso will know where to get them. AVord was received at Gothenburg ofthe death of O. Bergstrorn in Ten nessee. Mr. Bergstrcm was the founder of Gothenburg and took an active interest in its growth , talned too much moisture. It has been my opinion that corn1 which re mained in the field would bo In the best condition , but I may be mistaken In this and wo are going to test every ear of corn before we plant it. " Chancellor Cancels Dates. A severe attack of throat trouble has forced Chancellor Samuel Avery of the State university to cancel a ; largo number of engagements for addresses - % dresses over the state. He was ] booked to deliver fifteen speeches durIng - , Ing the next two weeks , but will not be able to deliver any of these. DurIng - ' Ing the last three months the chan cellor has been on several speaking tours and the strain of speaking every day has proved too great a strain on his endurance. Ills physi cian has advised him to cancel all speaking engagements. Boy "Flunkers" Predominate. A list of failures in the various dq- partments of the state university for the last semester shows that of the total number of "flunkers" 80 per cent are boys and only 20 per cent girls. Five boys failed to pass in ono or more studies during the semester for every co-ed that could make a per cent of CO the passing grade In her clases. In other years the failures among the boys have always outnum bered those of the co-eds , but the vari ance has never been so startling as that revealed by figures for the first semester of the present school year. State Oil Inspector Mullen turned into the state treasury $2,001.02 , the receipts of his offlco for the mouth of , January above the expenditures. Col lections that month topped that of any previous month of this adminis tration. Jenks for Commencement Orator. Prof. Jeremiah W. JenKs of Cornell university will bo the commencement orator at the University of Nebraska next spring.

Hill , empire builder , will address the Commercial club at its annual banquet this spring. A tele gram to this effect was received by Secretary Whltten. Claims of Foreigners. From the assistant secretary of state Governor Shallenborgor a few days ago received a copy of the claims filed by the foreign citizens of South Omaha for damages sus tained by the riot there In 1909.
