OATS RELISHED

Mistaken Idea to Think That
Horses and Mules Are Being
Sidetracked on Farms.
ACREAGE 1S ON
| Experts Who Have Made Special Study

ings—Most Important of Small
Grain Crops.
(Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Here Is an Interesting bit of farm-

clusion reached is absolutely false:
“Oats,” the argument runs,
and mulés,
“The enormous increase in the num-
ber of automobiles and trucks in the

“Therefore, with fewer horses there
is need for less oats, so why not plant
less acreage to oats or stop planting
this crop altogether?”
The fallacy Is twofold,

as to have little or no effect on the
out crop.

Oats Proportion Grows.
This is not all. The proportion of
onts to corn apd wheat has increased
steadily in the past generation. Half
@ century ago in every 100 acres of
improved farm land there was
tavernge of less than five acres sown
to oats. In eack succeeding
of the last 50 vears the average has
been lpereasing., During the past ten
years it reached an average of almost
"elght acres of oats out of every 100

farm land has not varied much from

from 20 acres.
Let no farmer think that oats are
becoming an undesirable or unpopular
crop. Experts In the United Sintes
Department of Agriculture who have
made a spécial study of the oat crop,
advoente extensive sowings, though of
course, it does not followgy that this
grain will pay in all sections, any more
than that dairying Is profitable every
where. Nevertheless, a great number
of American fermers, particularly In
the corn belt, are justified In making
| extensive sowing of oats each year. It

series. It is not his principal farm
‘ant enterprises,
It is occasionally pointed out that
the oat crop nctualiy gives less returns
than corn, for instance, and so the
wisdom of growing oats when corn
ean be grown is questioned. The
answer is that a liberal acreage of oats
ean be provided without materially re
not compete seriously with the labor
necessary to raise corn. The oat crop
fs sown early In the spring before it
is desirable to prepare the flelds for
corn, and when once sown does not
call for further labor until harvest.
On the other hand, the number of acres
of corn which can be grown depends
largely on how much ground can be
plowed and cultivated by the farmer,
Most Important of Small Grains,
Farmers In sections where corn
matures too late to make the sowing
of wheat after corn cutting a safe
venture, have learned that oats is the
most important of the small-grain
crops. This applies particularly to
Town and adjoining territory, namely,
northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin,
eastern Nebraska, southeastern Bouth
Dakota, and southern Minnesota. Fre
quently rotation as practiced in the
corn belt covers a S-year perfod with
two crops of corn, one of a small
grain, and two of timothy and clover.
Where this practice prevalls It Is
logical that oats be used as the transi.

Sowing should be done a8 soon as
the land ean be gotten Into proper con-

practice of seeding broadeast is much
less satisfactory than sowing with a

Good Seed of First Importance,
It is of the utmost importacce that
good seed be used. If last year's crop

seed after being cleaned and graded.
It is decidedly preferable to buy new
seed if the latter Is at all likely to
