Dat Seeding.

The yield Of oats in Missouri has been
steadily decreasing for q number OF
years due largely to the fact that the
soil is decreasing in fertility through
the burning out of the humus supply.
1t is, therefore, necessary to take con-
siderably more pains than formerly in
preparing land for oats. 1t will almost
always pay to either pillow the land for
oats or to thoroughly disk it if it is
stalk land. Fall blowing where man
can afford it is Of course the best pre-
paration of the land for oats. The Ex-
pertinent Station always repows land in
the spring or fall plows for oats and the
yield secured on land which is not high
or in fertility than the average land OF
north Missouri frequently reaches as
much as 80 Bushels and in individual ip
stances it has been known to go up to
go bushels. 10 other words the thor
ough preparation OF the seed bed and
drilling the oats in with drill will 60 a
long ways toward solving the problem
OF low cat yields.
There are seasons when oats mudded
in early VIII make more yield than oats
put in on thoroughly prepared lands
but on the average season this is not
true. The thorough preparation OF the
seed bed, therefore, and the use Of a
drill in putting in the seed seems to be
the two prime factors for controlling the
yield of oats in Missouri. A third fac
tor and one which is of much impor-
lance is the selection of the proper va
rieties. The Texas Red Rust Proof or
an early variety of northern grown seed
secured directly from the north at
least every other year will almost always
bring satisfactory returns.

Placing a Play
BY MARTHA S. BENsLEY

greeted US was most cordial. | felt

On the other hand, Mr.. Bowers, In
this incredibly short time, had allowed

After the farm hand had left the

the front porch, pulling away at his
pipe, and wondering why Mrs. Bewers
was so very nervous and fidgety, and

face OF his wife stopped II, and In a
