Of tbs market ut such ktimea
For o year or two past some oesthsI
most progressive agricultprist1 have
foreseen the ultimate outcome Of the
large crop Yields Of corn and wheat
and the comparatively smnll crops 81
oats and hay. 1t may be that h0ldefs
Of oats are simply showing their dis
erection BY being In possession OF this
grain. Oats after thisryear win hold a.
more prominent, position In the eyes
Of grain.grOwers than ever before, and
instead Of talking nothing but corn and
wheat there will be many to ask the
question, "What is the matter, with
oatsy' Some farmers Will say that oats
sap the soil 90 that 1t does not epay! to-
raise them, but it ID. much better TO-
raise oats and 6dd manure to the soil
than to, raise corn and wheat at loss.
Then what is wrong about alternating
with oats and hay 90, that, the green.
manure CON add to the hind what the
oats take from It? Hay, like oats, Is q
crop that is looming up. on the horizon.
as the most important. crop raisel, and,
with these two popular crops continual
" growing no farm need be run down.
Tho demand for, oats this season over
that for corn or wheat simply shows
the tendency Of the relative imp0r-
lance Of the three grains In the future
y Parts OF the country are better adapt
ed to the cultivation Of oats than to
either that OF wheat or corn, and such
meiiately. The heavy yields OF oats In
many grain growers Id other states can
not expect to reach, but even with less
than these heavy, crops one might be
well cOntented. In selecting the seed
for oats the heavy ones from the oat
producing centers should be obtained.
The seeds that come from the North
west are heavy, clean and very meaty.
When planted on a good soil aud
properly cultivated, every byshel turns
the scales at forty pounds or q, little
over. When one realizes that It Is the
heavy oats that tell in the mnrket.it
would pay one to buy such excellent
seed, even though there Is enough in
the bin to satisfy all needs. More
over, this heavy seed Of the North and
Northwest Is backed up with the
recommendations Of many Of the ex-,
pertinent stations, whose motives in
investigating such matters we must
accept as unbiased. 1t may, be well,
however, to take oil OF the stories
absaS Sne wonderful yields with a slight
discount. aifi s'RA $50,
When oats are a drug In the market,
then 1t is time to consider why's Of
utilizing them as cattle food. That
they are excellent when mixed with
straw, no one disputes, but 1t looks
very much MS II corn and wheat would
be cheaper cattle food in the future
than oats. The demand for the latter
cereal during the coming season will
be general, and the prices paid for
them high. ti{f.si,. 7.a8l,.,f .li
