As to she Oats Question.
A couple of our exchanges, the
Tribune and Chattanooga Times, seem
somewhat exercised over little item
they clipped from our peneilette col
umn, on the subject of the time oats
are sown In this section. As far as
that Is concerned we have no qualifi-
cation to make, but adhere to the
former statement that I'VE usually
sow oats In the spring" In this part Of
the country. It Is OF course true that
some winter oats are sown in different
parts OF East Tennessee, but
never this early. The experience
Of some of our farmers In the past sea-
son or two, however, particularly the
last. has been rather discouraging on
the fall sowing Of oats In this locality.
Last winter 1t froze out pretty much.
and We venture that If those "agricul-
turaF cusses of the Tribune or Times
were to start out In search, they would
find very few fields of oats sown or
being prepared for sowing about
here.
Now, II it's "wiId oats" that IL I'M
der consideration, our neighbors MEM
toned above would be thoroughly
posted, and could impart any informa-
ton, for that is a crop of which they
have sown frequently and heavily.
