THE OAT CROP.

Facts and Figures showing the Extent
and Value of This Farm Product.
The oat crop is an important crop in
this country. That of 1884 was the
largest in area as well as in total prod
uct ever grown. The number of acres
IN 1888 was little more than 20,OOO,-
600 and in 1884 over $1,000. 600 of
acres, and the product in bushels was
IN 1888 57l, 1902, 400, and in 1884 583,-
62s, 900. The price in 1888 was nearly
l cent greater per bushel than in 1884.
The total bushels Of oats grown is
about one third that Of corn, and the
total value of the oat crop last year was
$l6l, 100000.
In Michigan the State report gives
the crop for 1888 at 5S7,S1l acres and
1921, 1872 bushels, and the Department
of Agriculture gives the crop for 1884
as 597, 1864 acres and 19,99O,00O bush.
els. an average of 80 bushels per acre
and value of nearly SO per acre.
This is of course a low value of product
per acre, but it may be remembered
that the oat crop is the least costly
grain crop to raise and that the value
Of the straw when properly cared for is
. large addition to the value of the crop
10 the farmer.
The January crop report showed that
the cost of oats per bushel averaged for
the State 29.4 cents and the average
price was 26.27 cents per bushel. The
value of straw was deducted from this.
When that was added there would be
shown q profit, Is the value of an acre
OF oat straw properly cured is at least
$5.
This value, too, is the average for the
State. The cost is obtained from good
farmers, while the product is the aver
age-wheu well cultivated the crop is
much larger than the average, and there
fore the cost per pushel less and the
profit greater.
The oat crop is also very sure crop
and grows on all soils. In most cases
it follows corn or potatoes preparatory
to seeding with grass or followed by
wheat 1t is generally considered to be
an exhausting crop to the soil, but If
that is true it is good crop to feed and
return the fertilizing elements to the
soil again. On light soils it is good
crop to seed with If the season is not too
dry, but on rich soils oats grow so
strong that they are liable to "lodge'
and smother the young clover.
Oats grow best and produce the
heaviest grain in moist, cool climates.
In such regions well north the grain
frequently weighs fifty pounds to the
measured bushel. The weight grows
less farther south and generally the
yield, until below forty degrees latitude
they cease to be paying crop. When
seed is brought from far north and sown
in warmer and dryer climate the
weight quickly decreases and in few
years declines TO the standard of thirty.
two pounds per bushel or less.
In growing oats they should be sown
as early as the soil will admit. I'm
like some spring crops, they are not
injured by cold and unreasonable
weather after sowing. and If this weath.
er 10 not long continued only seems to be
benefit rather than an injury, while II
sown late they are liable to reach ma
turity in drouth or be injured by rust.
In view OF the reasonable certainty OF a
crop, the ease Of growing and the value
Of both grain aud straw, oats may be
considered good crop to raise in this

logs cut from trees standing on tie
fields Of Antietam at the time of the
battle. He says that all sorts Of mis-
siles from cannon balls to buckshot,
are almost daily met with in the timber,
and that it is really dangerous to stand
near the saws in this mill when such
lumber is being cut, a number of saws
having been snapped into fragments,
when running at high rate of speed,
by striking iron shot imbedded in the
logs. A large, angular fragment Of
shell was struck by saw = few days

rained about the mill, the saw being
finally snapped in several pieces In
