 Home-Grown Oats.
 Plant home grown oats; they are the best for seed This is the advice given Alabama, farmers by Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkinson. "I had rather plant oats raised in Montgomery county in the soil of Montgomery coun- ty than any other. The same thing is so of any county. Many have asked me if 1t is best to plant home grown oats for seeds, taking them in place of the west ern product. I have always said yes. Now that the merchants are laying in stock for the fall planting it is well to have in mind the fact that Alabama oats make the best and safest Alabama seed. :" MT. Wilkinson is apprehensive about the recent rains, his information being that much of the lands are badly washed. The danger, following this, is caking of the soil Farmers should at once run harrows or weeders over cotton beds, in this way breaking the crust and mak- ing it easy for the plant to see its way through. I am also informed that much of the soluble fertilizer has been washed away and there may in this way be much loss Farmers ought just now to be very careful to make their lands immune from the injury that follows hard rains and lots of moisture"
