Growing Oats in the South.

|
A farmer writing in the Southern
Cultivator, gives some valuable point
ers on planting oats. After saying he
had just harvested a crop averaging
60 bushels to the acre Notwithstanding
an unfavorable season, he says:
My plan is to sow the oats about
the first of November. With two
horse plow | break my land about
twelve inches. | have ready a lot of
home -ra'ised manure composed of barn
yard manure, COTTON seed, dltch-bank
SOIL acid phosphate and kainit. This
is kept in compost pile about four
weeks before using.
After breaking my land twelve inch
es deep, l broadcast this compost and
SOW five to six bushels oats per acre
and turn them in with a Dixie pillow,
about six to seven inches deep. Then
harrow both ways with a fine iron
toothed harrow about four inches deep.
When my oats come up they have
six inches of loose sold below and six
inches above in which to grow. By
placticing this method, your oats will
not fire. and it will not require one
half the rain to make sure of crop.
IT the farmers of the South ever
make a success of Oaft raising, they
must thoroughly manure and cultivate
their land.
The general practice in this section
is to go into the fields as soon as they
have harvested the crop, and with
Dixie pillow rum off a five-foot land,
sow one OF two bushels of oats to the
acre and simply turn the oats under
Oh the hard soil.
THE oats come up, and as long as
the weather is cool and rain plentiful
they seem to grow little. just as
soon as the hot and dry May sun
Strikes them, away they go.
Then the cry is, ''The drouth has
ruined my oat crop" The drouth is
not to blame. But simply little fore
thought and energy were lacking when
they were planted.
[ offer these suggestions, thinking
they may be of some benefit to those
who have been unsuccessful i'm raising
oats.
Accept my best wishes for you and
your greatly instructive paper.
Let me add, that by this method Of
preparing you make sure of good
crop of oats: and you can follow with
corn and get yield of about forty
bushels per acre from the same land.
Two good crops in one year. The oat
crop is the best paying crop for the
South.

meant by the term practical FARMING
or practical farmers. Our answer was
that practical farming was any kline
of agriculture that was successfully
conducted, when the profits amounted
to a good large per cent on the capita
invested and the fertility of the sol
maintained A man may accumulate
money by farming, rObbfng his land OF
his fertility all the while, and such a
farmer we would not call practical
He is a robber. Some people have an
idea that practical farming is the good
old way of doing things, never consult
ing books, papers or science, just drop
ping into sort of take-t wOrld-easy
rut and jogging along trough life.
AS we look at it, practical farming
means business farming, and the most
practical farmers are those who bring
to their aid, system science, knowledge
and all the ripest experience of others
that can possibly be obtained from any
source Whatsoever. Becaues a man has
farmed all his life and is contentedWith
his surroundings, is no sign that he
is at all practical, for he may know
very little about modern methods or
the business side of farming and may
be so constituted that a very little of
this worlds goods and chattels make
him cOntented. We have known men
who came from the city onto the farm
and were practical from the very start,
made things move along in a business
sort of way after the manner in which
they had been brought up in other
trades or calling. They make mis-
takes, it is true, we all do that even
when we are brought up on the farm,
but they never made the same mistake
twice, and knowing their experience
weren't ashamed to own up when a
bad break was made, but took good
care to avoid such stumbling blocks
in the future
Some self-styled practical farmers
poke a good deal of fun at the fellows
who get out of the old beaten paths
and try some of the short cut roads
to success and some are even so stub
born that they continue to go away
around by Robinhood's mill, over the
old worn out and time-bea,ten paths,
when they know there is better way
and see others journeying successful,
ly across it.
Nor can we count the man pracl-
cal farmer who may have accumulated
considerable of this worlds goods by
denying his children the privileges of
good education, keeping them at
home and at constant drudgery until
of age, and then turn them loose to
fight the battles of life With those who
have all odds in their favor. Is it any
wonder that they want to leave the
farm?
We would say then if you are striv-
ing to become a practical farmer, first
of all learn how you can in the cheap
est and best way maintain. OF If you
can, improve the fertility of your soil
When you have done this, the growing
of remunerative crops will be a mat
ter that will naturally follow. Yor
may be situated so you can buy in
