WHAT ABOUT SEED OATS?

ne OUTLOOK IOl securing SoON.
strong oats for seeding next spring
turns are made Known. it become
more evident that the grain is poorly
filled. and much of it shrunken until
it will not make safe seed to SON.
With this alarming scarcity of de-
pendahie seed. 1t behooves every farm
er to make early and ample pro
vision for seed. Where heavy seed can
not be had the next best thing to do
is To grade your home grown stock
until you are sure that you have blown
over and discarded all light and
hrunkcn kernels. Too much pains
cannot be aiken with This seed, for
the crop has received Il severe set
back his year. and only the hardest
ana most vigorous seed can now be
depended upon TO help matters next
season.
There is no use trying to shield the
fact that ouH oat crops have been
deterioritinS for several years. When
conditions are favorable. We succeed in
growing n fair crop; but oats have
lost that stamina which would enable
II to pull through adverse conditions,
and the result is that wet weather on
cold weather disastrously affects the
crop. What we need Is some live work
in breeding up old varieties. or intro
ducing some new blood. AS We; we
have lone practically nothing. or at
least we have accomplished nothing.
We nave not today one solitary variety
OF oats which we can depend upon To
pull through Il bad season. Thc Swc-

herds of elephants and several hun
dred other animals.

and novel in idea of any ever present
ed. The spectacle Fighting the
Flames which opens the regular
program, is the most thrillingly ORA
matte and beautiful ever conceived,
and there is nothing like it to be seen
anywhere else. 1t fills the entire
arena of the biggest tent ever put up
and employs 1000 people, 800 horses,
800 carriages, wagons and automo-
biIes, complete battalion of metro
politan firemen with hose carts,
engines, stand pipes and hook and
ladder wagons and a trainload OF
scenery.
The climax of circus sensations is
found in the hair-l lifting automobile
somerset, performed by Mile. La
Rauue. This is the act which, because
of it's utter recklessness, shocked all
France last winter. Other so-called
thrillers which have been seen in
America are as nothing compared

hibition of nerve and daring ever wit
| messed.

only few of the 300 European artists
who are making their first appearance
in this country with this great circus.
Among them is Spessardy, the great
est animal trainer in the world;
Zobedie, who walks, jumps the rope
and dances on his hands; the wonder
full flying Fishers; Joseph LaFleur,
who does a backward and headlong
plunge from the dome of the canvas;
Orrir, May and Victoria Davenport,
a trio of the greatest of the worlds
riders; the Great Wallet; Minnie
Forepaugh, who does a daring leap
across the tent from one swing to an
other; Nettie Carroll, the greatest
high wire bicyclist on earth; the Dol
lars, the Corrallas and the Jennets
the three greatest families of acrobats
in the world, and the wonderful Goltz
trio.
