HOW TO GROW OATS. (By J. H. Burgy.) FIRST PRIZE. The seed corn agitation that hai been carried on the past few years has been a great help towards developing that important "cereal, but during this time little was accomplished towards improving our seed oats. When we come to realize that we produce on an average only 29 bushels per acre, we think that this is an opportune time to Inaugurate an educational campaign so that the farmer may "get next" to the fundamental principles in oat growing, thereby enabling us to boast of an average yield of at least 50 bush els per acre, which could easily be realized if more attention was given to the selection and preparation of the seed, properly prepared sead bed and time and method of planting. Selecting the Seed. The first and most important item to considered is the seed, as what we ow that we must expect to reap. To produce a laige crop we must have eed that is in its highest state of levelopment furthermore, it must be horoughly fanned and properly grad so that none but heavy and uniform c-rtels remain, after which it should .* carefully treated for smut. The method of taking the seed from ae bin direct to the field, without any jrevious preparation, is the leading cause why such low yields are in evi dence. .Some advocate obtaining -an occasional supply Of seed from some eool climate where It reaches its high est development. This is_advisable if "or any reason our grain shows evi dence of running out, bs is often the oase.in our climate. The Seed Bed. The preparation of the seed bed "Is next In importance. Upon investiga tion we find that most farmers give little or no previous preparation to the soil before planting. The usual plan that is practiced is to plant the grain, then disc and harrow it in or, in other words, prepare the seed bed after the planting. Then the farmer will won der why his stand is streaky and so uneven. To obtain an even stard and uni "ormity in ripening of the grain, we must have a well prepared seed bed previous to planting. In thi3 section oats usually follows a corn rotation. Thereby we have to contend with the stalks, but by the use of a sharp disc little trouble is experienced. I Use a Drill. As oats do best .on a firm seed bed it Is not advisable to make it more than three or three and one-half inches in depth. This is usually accomplished by discing twice, giving it a half lap, following by double harrowing. This treatment, if properly done, will leave the ground in excellent shape for the disc drill to do first-class work. In sowing the seed, which is the last step, the use of a drill cannot be rec ommended too highly, as it places tbe seed in the ground at a uniform depth into moist soil, and none is wasted as in broadcasting. After repeated tests in drilling and Bowing broadcast, a difference is found of from four to eight bushels per acre in favor of the former. Sowing or drilling should be commenced as early in the season as conditions permit, as e&rly planted fields usually produce the better quality of oats. Three tc three and one-half bushels to the acre of ordinary size seed gives the best results broadcasting and the large varieties of oats requiring more. It is important that the seed receives an even covering at a depth of from one and one-half to two inches. Test the Seed. In conclusion we may rgain state that too much importance cannot be attached to seed and its proper prep aration, as no matter how well we pre pare the seed bed, or how we manage the time or method of planting, unless every kernel is of the highest vitality and is capable of producing a strong and vigorous plant, we cannot expect bumper crop of oats. acre was secured in favor of drilling that season. It will be remembered that the spring was rather cold and ft in town last week while en- ute to his home at Bancroft. time Saturday evening. Louis Muivehill, an employe at Miss Morga Craig's school at Jef- Ireland's music store at Indepen ferson closed Friday.

Miss of town. at Edward Dargan of Monti was in town Friday while enroute to Dyers ville. He was accompanied home by his son John, who is a student at that place. E. F. Muivehill, wife and children and1 Miss Clara Schares spent Xmas with relatives at Gilbertsville. Our iirst real snow storm of the season came Tuesday and it proved to be quite a heavy fall for the ini tial storm. The little folks were delighted, but the older ones are not as appreciative of the "fall of the beautiful." Mrs. Delbert Blancliard passed away on Thursday afternoon, after a several months' illness of a compli cation of diseases. The deceased was a kind wife and loving mother, and.'her passing will be deeply re gretted not only by her immediate relatives, but also -by a large circle of friends. The funeral Was held ^Saturday from the t— the M. E. church, Rev. D. C. Ferry ofheiating, and interment was niaue in Greenwood cemetery. Left to mourn her loss are a husband and one daughter, to whom the sympathy of many friends is extended. ffW.Firf 1/ w-x i»sV ^SEM 1 \i* »»^ttyi, 1 1** Drilling Vs. Broadcasting. Taking one year with another it will be found that the drilling of oats is much preferable to the,sowing of oats broadcast. The seed is more evenly distributedlpnd more evenly covered. From a peck to a half bushel may be saved in the amount of seed needed. In some seasons, such as 1907, the use of the drill will be found to be ex ceptionally profitable.

In seasons more favorable for oat production this in crease Is by no meaDs as marked, yet the drill can be recommended as a much more profitable method of put .ting in oats than the common., system of broadcasting.

By order-of your Protector.'! PREPARATION OF SEED OATS It is by no means an uncommon ching to find that the oats used for ioe't purposes were taken directly from che oat bin without any. special care nr attention being given before they were sown. Every farmer certainly appreciates the'fact that small or light and immature seed can by no means be expected to produce as strong and vigorous plants as well tbe large plump grains. This has been so thor oughly demonstrated, and requiring as it does so little amount of time to properly prepare the seed that no one can be excused for not giving this matter his most careful attention. Fanning and Grading the Seed. The benefits derived from fanning and grading the seed are Indeed very marked By so doing, the light, chaffy grains, which are much less valuable for seed purposes, will be removed. Likewise, the weed seed may be elim inated. This Is an especially import ant factor in some localities where weeds such as mustard and others common to our oat crop are so plenti ful Again, not only will the weed seeds and light, Inferior seed oats be removed, but the large plump oat grains may be separated from the smaller lighter ones. This Is all im portant. In general, we find that tbe early oats have been much better yie2aer8 than have the late oats. In ull cases, however, we find even in desirable seasons that all the grains arc not equally plump or equally large, but on careful examination a very large part, in fact 30 to 50 per cent, will be found to be either small or not sufficiently filled. In seasons when the oats run light in weight, such as lact year when many of them were weighing from 18 to 24 pounds /per bushel, it will be found that if the oats are thoroughly fanned and screened, In many instances it will be hard to save more than 15 to 20 per cent. The Importance of fanning and screening oats cannot be too forcibly Impressed. The following table from Piofessor Zavitz's Investigations will be of peculiar Interest. Per cent, grain of large plump seed over medium and smallsized plump grain. Yield per acre (bushelB): Large. Medium. Small. 62 54.1 46.6 0 14.6 33.04 The data above given, covering as it does a period of seven years, and shows wherein the large plump grains produced 14.6 per cent, more than the medium sized plump grains of the grains yielded 33.04 per cent, less than the large well-filled ones.

(By Prof. M. L. Bowman.) A carefully prepared se^d bed has been cne of the most' neglected features in connection with the pro duction of oats. It is a very common practice to see an end-gate seeder a: work in fields where the corn stalks still remain standing on tbe ground. As a matter of fact, most of tho preparation of the Med bed has been very largely done after the oats have been sown. Such practices will havo to be done away with before we can expect the average yield of oats to bs materially Increased. The prepara tion of the Med bed by no means rej ceives the attention that It should In' connection with all our grains, but especially is it deficient with our oats, Through the investigations of the Iowa experiment station we are led to b£ I'.eve that about 70 per cent" Of the oats are put in before th#' seed b&f Is prepared the-!6ats bMng soWn broadcast on unprepared ••. 1 Depreciation and Appreciation of Farm Implements. (By F. H. Demaree, Agronomist. J. I. Case Plow Worka.) Are those farm tools whichjone MM out under trees or in fence corners of any account?

Can we afford to let machinery'depreciate rapidly? -T! To make a concrete etample, sup pose we assume an' Investment of'^tra above amount and that tbe machines last ten years. The total cost of prin cipal and interest will amount to $1,238.40 In that time. If term of this slse has 180" acres to be tilled en the average" each year, then -tho machinery charge against each acre or tillable land for the period of tea years will be slightly more than $10. This means then $l- per acre per year es a machinery charge to the- cost of producing- farm crops. Suppose the machinery only laatjl Ave years, how about the cost? (The writer knows of expensive Implements being completely worn out in less time.) Computed on the same basis as the above, the machinery cost Is S1.70 per acre per year for the five year period, and If the whole enulp ment had to' be replaced, It would, of course amount to $3.40 per acre per year for a ten-year period. Comparing the t,wo gets of figures, theoretical though they may be.- we are .forced to admit that- they are based upon enough, facts and obvious condi tions to make them closely approxl mate the truth. Furthermore, since there Is a limit to the yield of crops, It appeals to the writer that one of the best ways to make money on our .farms It to try to decrease the cost of- production- at -the same time-we are actually trying, to increase production. roni tbe, example cited above It would seem that a pipper appreciation of good farm Implements will -be money making sentiment- A good tight shed for machinery la a neces sity on every, farm and will be found a highly profitable, Investment.

Rusted plow shares, moldboarda or cultivator shovels are full of pita caused by the small iron scales which drop off in the rusting process. These tools never scour properly again and cause trouble ever after by such de lay and further fall to do good work when most needed. Poor-plowing and poor cultivation most certainly mean poor crops and always a poor farmer. This is important, hut it is not th* intention of this article to go Into that phase of the matter. How about the actual depreciation of farm ma chinery and what does It mean to farmers to have their tools wear out, rust out or disappear In any othor manner?

Some seasc will require more discing Mldom can it be done with less. 1 SEEDING OATS. (By P. H. Demaree, Agronomist, J. I. Case Plow Works.) Throughout the corn belt oats In variably follow corn in rota tion. The general practice of seeding oats is to broadcast them, then disc once, or cultlvat* once over with the corn cultivator and follow with a harrow. This method has been proven more or less slipshod. The land should be disced once each way, harrowed In order to level it, and then the oats drilled in. Drilling instead of broadcasting In a large num* ber of experiments has been shown to increase tbe yield from two to tea bushels per acre. Where oats do not follow corn and where corn land can not be gotten In shape by a double discing, it is advisable to plow the ground. Deep plowing for oats In tho spring is not advisable or necessary, as the crop ii shallow rooting and the lower part of the seed bed should bo compact A good disc, a smoothing harrow and a force feed drill are necessary tools tor wry oat «r' .jssiw-c i» u. ami tf-rovto/' .'''-".•.v'.T .r-cia .-s-jr1 rtt •TH*.-,. if. -•a' 1 I PUBLIC SALE Having rented my farm, I will mU at public ^auction on my premise* lo ostted S 1-2 miles west of Delhi, 6 mile* southeast of-Manchester and 1-2 mile east of Bailey's Ford on Wednesday, January 3rd, 1912, Sale commencing at ten o'clock sharp,- the following described prop erty: Horaesr 8 head of hones. 1 black mare 7 years old, weight' 1400 lbs., In foal by Edw.
