THE OA!T CROP.

The oat crop of the country is yearly
Increasing in Importance. 1t is one Of
the most valuable nitrogenous foods
produced on American farms, and its
use in various forms as cereal foods
for man is increasng by leaps and
bounds year by year. fact which
speaks volumes for the good sense of
the American people from Il dietetic
standpoint The sturdy physique and
morality Of the Scotch people have
long been properly credited to happy
combination Of oatmeal and the Short
er Catechism. The production of this
crop is not keeping pace with the in.
creasing demand, and the lack Of in
crease in acreage is further aggravated
by quite general deterioration of the
product in all the latitude south Of
AZ degrees, largely owing to the use of
run out seed grain and the attempt
to grow the crop in a forced and un-
congenial course of rotation. The oat
belt is commonly supposed to be synon-
omous with the corn belt. save that
oats may be raised. giving larger yields
and better quality, far to the north
OF such corn belt. While the increase
in acreage from 1880 to 1890 was IS
per cent, or from 16,1 44OOO acres to
2S,32O,OOO acres during the decade,
from 1890 to 1900 the increase in area
given to oats was barely 100000
acres, the corn crop crowding the oat
crop out. The export demand, because
OF the higher prices which have pre-
vailed during the past four years. has
dropped from "A 100000 bushels in 1898
to 100000 in 1903, while the average
price for contract oats on the Chicago
market has been % cents for 1900 30
cents for 1901, 81 cents for 1902 and
36 cents for 1908. The seed oats this
spring through all the territory south
of the latitude named, or covering
what is known as the best Of the corn
belt, will be the poorest we have ever
known sown, and unless nature by
some sort of miracle reverses the
natural law providing that man shall
reap as he sows the prospect for the
1904 crop is anything but encoura ging.
We have previously urged the import
ance of changing seed, of getting seed
grain from the more northerly sections
the northern half of Minnesota,
North Dakota and Manitoba--and be-
lieve that therein lies the secret of
vastly improving the yield and quality
Of the crop all through the corn belt
Oats grown south Of latitude AZ are
just like potatoes-bound to run out
and deteriorate. What with the smut
which may be so easily prevented by
soaking the seed in formalin solu-
tion-the use Of deteriorated seed and
the sowing of the crop on rich land
previously in corn, resulting in too
much straw and imperfectdevelopme
Of the grain, has brought about the
poor and protitless crop of thirty BUSH
els of oats to the acre, weighing
twenty-eight pounds to the bushel

GRASSES AS FERTILIZERS.

There are some very erroneous no.
tons as to the value of grasses as fer
dlizers. All the clovers are fertilizers
Of the first quality. Timothy is in no
sense fertilizer, but as much Of a
soil robber as any of our cereal crops.
In fact, when it is allowed to produce
Q crop of seed it is worse than any of
them. Blue grass is not a soil fer
tlizer, but the growing Of 1t involves
pasturing the field, and the turf when
turned over and decayed furnishes =
valuable supply of humus for the soil.
All the grasses are weed killers and in
this way benefit the land, but the clio.
vers alone really regenerate the soil.
The great cry of the farms both east
and west Is for more clover.
