THE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

The market for crude and refined petroleum con-
tinued quiet and generally steady during last week
The only actual change in prices was a decline OF
1-l6 cert a gallon in the London market. There Is
continued activity In the field, with considerable
success in some sections. The South Penn Com
pany struck a $50 barrel producer on the jameson
farm or Piney Fork, Wetzel County. Another well
IN Harrison County began producing at the rate OF
eighty barrels for the first fifteen hours Several
wells were struck In Harrison County during the
week producing twenty barrels, and one well OF
l25 barrels day struck on the A. j. Williams
farm. In the lower Southwest territory consider
able development is going on, which Is accelerated
by the steady production Of the hrst well struck,
which continues steadily TO produce 10 barrels
daily. Eight ten wells now drilling and rigs
are up for twenty more. When these are finished
the extent Of the Binker field will be better under
stood well is reported on the Camden
tract. Lewis County, w. Va. and Is said to be
doing fifty barrels a day. Several other wells have
been started In the vicinity. and the extent and
value Of this section will soon be known. Pros
pecting is being pushed vigorously in several
promising sections In Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia and Tennessee, but thus far with little
success beyond the strikes mentioned Sew
eral test wells under way In territory, but
in most instances they are not down deep enough
yet TO be OF value.

Of the seed oats fail 10 produce any
thing. Oats are often threahed while
still damp from the held. and II such
oats are put In close bins the vitality
Of their germ Is quickly destroyed by
heating. To make sure OF getting sound
seed oats they should not BIO threshed
until winter, and never bo allowed 10
heat In oven the least degree. Every
auch seed put into tho ground VIII
not only grow, but II can DO made TO
produce hundred fold. though this
is hard to secure under ordinary crop
conditions All our grains are doubt
less for our climate sown more thickly
than 10 necessary More attention 70
the quality OF seed and its ability to
terminate would pay farmers better.
Grain that either will not grow, or that
makes such feeble growth that neigh
boring grain dwarfs II, Is about the
most expensive manure farmer can
use. Yet this Is what many farmers
are doing with large part of the seed
grain that they put into the soil, where
1t simply rots and furnishes plant food
for the seed that could terminate.

There 10 probably no crop Argeit
grown that yloldh q. better profit than
the potato crop. Yet the per aero Yield
throughout the country is small, due
very largely 10 poor methods In ham
ding tho soil. The potato aeoomno-
datea Itself 10 many varieties Of soil
and TO all kinda Of culture. PoFhapp
this fact In taken advantage OF 70 too,
great an extent and not enough care
used In any part Of tho process OF pro-
ducing the crop. When we consider
that more than 1000 bushels Of pota-
toes have been raised on an acre In diff
ferent parts OF the country, and that
less than 100 bushels Ia the ordinary
yield, wo are forced TO believe that we
are not using all Of our possible adj
vantages.
The first requisite is well-prepared
land, drained II II so requires, This
good preparation means blowing deep
enough to admit Of the fullest growth
OF root. Whatever may DO said against
deep plowing yet II certainly has a
tendency to send the roots down be-
yond the summer drouth, which 10
often thing Of great Importance. The
writer remembers a little corner In a
potato patch in which coal ashes had
been thrown. The ground thus In
creased In depth gave moisture TO the
plants when Ia all other parts OF tho
patch they were dying for lack OF
moisture. The probable reason was
that In that part the soil was 80 porous
that the roots had been able TO strike
deep and TO reach into a stratum OF
continuous moisture. This 10 not TO
advocate the use OF coal ashes as fer
tllizer for potatoes, but to illustrate
the principle by which loose soil
permits the penetration Of roots.
As to killing there Is great diversity
OF opinion, We know that II is be-
coming quite popular TO advocate tho
doing away Of the old style Of hill
Ing, and to say that the Idea Of hill
Ing was 4 barbarous one, originating
among the boys OF Ireland, The whole
settlement of the question must de-
pend on circumstances, Some varieties
have to DO hilled anyway, unless we
expect to have some Of the potatoes on
top OF the ground. The question of
moisture runs into that of killing. A
certain man some years ago abandoned
tho billing process and planted all of
his potatoes on the level. It happened
to be an exceptionally wet summer and
the entire crop was damaged by lying
too much in the water. Killing would
have done some good In this case.

Irrl9atlns Strawberries.

Irrigation has two distinct advan-
tages; II discounts the possibility OF
loss from drouth, and increases fruit
production. Some commercial grow
era have even rebled the average Yield
by judlclous irrigation, But there are
disadvantages, also. The fruit is like
ly TO become soft and UNFIT for long
shipment; a deterioration In quality
usually accompanies an abundant
water supply; and, again, the season
10 retarded several days, II one is
catering to a personal and dlscriml-
mating market where quality is aD-
preclated, II would be wise to think
twice before irrlgating frequently dur
Ing the fruitlng season. None OF these
objections holds where irrigation Is
practiced during the summer preceding
frultage, and to my mind, this Is It's
legitimate place In strawberry culture.
I believe that crop production depends
more on conditions during the first
seasons growth than the second, and
that our aim should be to carry great
lusty crowns into the winter with
plenty of reserve strengths. W..

Thin Seeding of Grain.

Less grain per acre Is sown In this
country than by English farmers, with
whom three to three and one-half
bushels Of oats are often deemed nee
essary, says American Cultivator. Eng
lish summers are nearly always moist,
and as farm land is generally rich 1t
needs this thick seeding to make the
plants crowd each other from the start
and thus prevent too luxuriant growth.
Here such a seeding on land of mod
crate fertility might not produce any
thing but the straw Of grain without
any heads We once drilled some oats
in a field and found at the end Of the
row that wider balk was made than
the single width Of the drill passing
across the rows at each end would COW
er. We were only sowing with the
drill two bushels Of seed per acre, 80
we thought, not to leave any balks, to
drill twice across each end But the
second drill width, though 1t made a
good appearance, early dried up and
amounted to nothing about the time
the oats should head out.
II clean, sound, plump oats can be
had, bushel and half drilled in with
some phosphate is better than great
er quantity. There is no crop, not
even wheat, to which commercial
phosphate Is so well adapted as the
oat. With this light seeding Of oats,
which should always be drilled early,
we gave the oats light narrowing Just
after the young shoots began to come
up. This broke down the ridges be-
tween the rows, and entirely covered
the leaves that first put forth. But 1t
gave great stimulus to root growth,
and In few days two or three or
may be more shoots would be put
forth by the root for every leaf that
was destroyed. The narrowing also
loosened the surface soil, 80 that any
crust formed by rains will be broken.
The new leaves will start up 80 quick
ly and SO plentifully that no more
crust will form on the surface through
the season. Such grain always COW
ers the ground at harvest with bet
ter crop than can be got from two
to two and one7half bushels Of seed
sOwn per acre, but not narrowed after
the grain comes up.
The grain grown from such light
seeding is nearly always plump and
full, and is worth more for seed than
grain grown in the usual way. On
rich land with a fair season we have
grown 80 to 100 bushels of oats from
80 light a seeding as one and one-hslf
bushels per acre. Nor need this be sur
prising as single oat grain has been
known to produce six to seven stems,
bearing head well filed with oats.
1t Is plain that as usually sown much
