the State that have failed to mako full
supply of corn. Every effort should be
made to supply deficiencies from the farm
tsclf, instead of waiting until the gathered
supplies of meagrc harvest shall have been
and then rcsorting to the ruin
'us policy of J1iag on time.
To this end efforts should begin at once .

hould be harvested in the best manncr-
The unusually large yield of fruit should
&c utilized to the utmost.
On many farms the fodder and hay crop $
nay be supplemented by cutting and curing +
he grasses which grow luxuriantly in wet, $
waste places.
Rich lots, sown tbickly to rye or barley,
will furnish grazing during winter, and in
pring, not only lcngthen out the supply of
ong forage, but render necessary less grain.
No portion of the products of the corn
ields that can be profitably gathered and

But the main reliance must be in the
next crop of oats, and the time is near 1T

the corn crop is always manifest in ample
time to provide against it by sowing full
crop of fall oats and this will mature early
in spring to meet an ordinary deficiency Of
corn. On the other hand, in the early
spring a partial failure of the oat crop will
usually be evident before it is too late to in-
crease the area in corn. Thus these two
crops may be said TO doueta'i into each other,
and the circumstance is an additional argu-
ment-if it were needed-to induce large
increase in the area to oats this fall.
Tho correspondence of the Department
shows that there will probably be such an
increase, and, in addition, that many farmers
are beginning to rely mainly on oats as food |
for work stock. Reports heretofore pub.
lishcd have pbuudantly shown, that the fall
is the proper season for sowing, and the
yellow or Red Rust Proof the best variety.
