spirit and In truth, made an experiment
last year which ought to be worth million
dollars TO the farmers OF this territory.
About the last of August ne sowed all his
cotton fields in oats, sowing about peck
TO the acre. The consequence was. his
mules grazed all winter and kept fat on the
oats until time to plant cotton in the spring
They were then turned under and made =
good fertilizer. II costs but little 20 sow
the oats in the middle of the cotton rows.
They do not bother the cotton. They save
corn all winter. Mr.. Cole says he fed but
little TO the mules and they did well on the
oats. Now this IS what We call progress.
IL enables the farmers to make two gooG
crops on cotton land. And the oats do not
weaken the land at all. There is so much
moisture in the soil in winter that the oats
draw but little from it, The papers of
Louisiana, Texas and Indian Territory are
urging cotton raisers TO try the experiment.
There is no reason on earth why the farm
ers of Oklahoma should not follow the ex-
ample of Mr.. Cole. and many reasons why
they should. The Leader urges Oklahoma
farmers to try it, The actual cost per acre
would probably not exceed cents for seed.
and II it is tried and found a success -
places where native wild grasses grow IN
greater iuxuriance than there, why would
IL not be even a better thing for the Okla
homa farmer? Sow oats in your cotton
VOWS next September and 1t will save you
many a dollar.
