PLAYGROUND EXHIBITION.
Free Demonstration In Franklin
Square Tomorrow Afternoon.

For the last ten days Miss Mari Ruef
Hofer, professor of kindergarten music and
games of Teachers College has been work
ing with the applicants for positions on the
Fairgrounds this summer She viii give an
exhibition in Franklin Square this after
noon. from to 6, of the work which she
has been doing. For the last ten years Miss
Hofer has been making a study of the old
folk games. especially those of Germany
and Sweden. in an attempt to revive the
very best of them for the use of children.
The playground committee, In bringing
Miss Hofer to Washington. Is seeking to
bring back the best of the old racial games
for the good of the rising generation. They
are regarded In the first place as the best
kind of physical training, and the muscular
movement involved IS OF a free and Wig
orouS sort; second, that they are full of the
Joy Of life. which they seem to have alb
sorbed In the days when the world was
young, and every man a child; third.
they have very great social value, and
they involve gettirs acquainted. and the
training In politeness and consideration for
the feelings of others
Many of these games arr very similar to
the regular kinder garten games which Froe-
bel drew from the same source, but they
are adapted for older children.
All who are Interested in the children or
the Fairgrounds will be welcome to see this
demonstration in Franklin Square, In order
that they may appreciate what is to be
done for the children this summer.

yield of grain resulted from seed
ing 212 to 3 inches. The various
experiment stations have deter
mined that the rate of seeding Of
oats NAV vary from two to three
bushels per acre. On good. strong
lands, the largest amounts should
be soWn while on poor land the
smaller quantity is used.
In some cases oats are mixed
with other grains. such as peas
and wheat, but usually the best re-
suits are obtained when sown

EARLY PREPARATION
FOR THE OATS CROP

Oats are planted in the northern
and central States as early in the
spring as possible. The results
of tests at the Indiana, Iowa and
New York Experiment Stations
show that it is Improbable to
grow winter oats in this latitude.
In Pennsylvania seeding from
April I 5to 27 has given best sat
isfaction. In many States oats
follow corn. Where the corn has
been heavily fortified with barn
ward manure and wril cultivated,
it makes an ideal PREPARATION
Oats after luguminous crops, such
as clover, 5. alfalfa, velvet beans
etc. alWI!s give greatly increased
yields. At the Alabama station,
oats following velvet beans. where
the vines and stubble were plowed
under, yielded at the rate of $50
bushels per acre. Where cowpea
vines and stubble were plowed nu-
der, the Weld was two bushels less.
A general summary OF the MANY
experiments with commercial fer
tilizers shows that the oats crop
is greatly benefited by the appli-
cation of heterogeneous fertilizers.
When well-rotted, perhaps nothing
else is better than barnyard man
ure. Next in Importance to nit
rogen on most soils is phOsphoric
acid. As source of nitrogen,
other than barnvard manure and
leguminOus plants, nitrate OF soda
has generally proved satisfactory.
In some instances in the south,
cottonseed meal has given splen-
did results. Nitrate of sofa is
best applied as a top dressing on
oats in the spring at the rate of so
to 200 pounds per acre, any time
after the plants are we'll started.
The Alabama station secured the
best results by making applica-
tons OF nitrate OF soda when the
oats we're well-branchcd and some
OF the leaves at least 6 inches long.
Oats are usually grown on a
wide range of soils, but the best
results are obtained from a we'll
drained fertile clay or clay loan.
The seedbed should be prepared
by blowing rather than disking
and narrowing. Heavy lands, es-
pecially in some of the northern
states have given best results with
oats, when plowed in the fall. Sub
soiling for oats is OF doubtful
value. On heavy, clay soils, roll
ing is considered OF doubtful bene-
fit, as shown by experiments at the
Ohio Station. On light, sandy
soils, rolling has perhaps bene-
fetal effect.
A summary OF all OF the expert
ments in different parts of the
country show that best yields OF
both grain and straw come from
seed planted about ? inches deep.

est Weld OF straw was obtained
