DAT CROP SMALL
For Ten Years Average Yield Has
Been 29:5 Bushels and it Should
Be 49,

Des Moines March 23,-Iowa's oat
cron has been altogether too small
There is no excuse for it. For ten
years it has AVERAGED 29.5 bushels per
acre. 1t should be at least 40 bushels.
How it may be increased and the re-
lsult of the Investigation on which the
lconclusion that the yield is too low has
been reached are told in bulletin just
issued bv the experiment station of
the state agricultural college.
There have been at least seventy
| varieties Of oats grown in Iowa. All
y that is needed to increase the yield
from 29.5 bushels to 40 bushels per
acre, say the scientists at Ames, is the
atadoption of better varieties and more
care be given the seed before planting.
There is not enough of the 1907 crop
of oats of standard weight 80 pounds
per bushel, to SOW the fields that will
be planted next month. 1t is therefore
important that all possible precautions
be taken to get most useful varieties
and that the most approved methods
of culture be practiced this year.
The conclusion of the Arnes expert
ment station is summed up in the bull
letin as follows:
Iowa raises on an average of 295
bushels of oats per acre. The highest
SYield in five years has been "a bushels

Bulletin on Oats.

A seasonable and interesting bulle-
tin from the Farm Crops section Of the
Experiment station at Ames is now
being mailed to the farmers of the
state. 1t marks the completion Of ten
years investigational work into the
merits of 70 varieties of oats, and full
ly demonstrates that Iowa's yield Of
this cereal has been too low The
state has averaged only 29.5 bushel
of oats per acre. The writer's of this
bulletin conservatively estimate that
this yield can be permanently increas-
ed throughout the oat-growing dis
tricts to at least 40 bushels per acre.
All that is needed to do this is the
adoption of better varieties and more
care be given the seed before plant
ing.
There is not enough of the 1907
crop of oats of standard weight (32
lbs. per busheD to sow the fields that
will be planted next month 1t is
therefore important that all possible
precautions be taken to get most use
full varieties and that the most ap-
proved methods of culture be prac-
ticed throughout the coming year. The
bulletin gives much helpful advice and
many timely suggestions that are op-
perfume at this time. 1t may be had
by applying to Prof Chas. F. Curtiss,
director of Experiment station, Ames,
Iowa.

The practice of securing seed oats
from the bin is both undesirable and
expensive. 1t Is not uncommon for an
end gate seeder to be backed up to
bin and loaded with oats that have
rehandled since coming from the
thresher
An exceedingly small percentage Of
the oats used for seed have been suf
f1ciently famed and cleaned. Seldom
are they run through the machine
more than once Once is not enough
to make the proper separations. A
third and fourth time through is often
necessary. 1t may be conservatively
said that from 25 to 40 per cent of the
oats generally used for seed should
have been eliminated. Take a hand
full Of oats and examine them care
fully. large nercentage will be found
to be small or of just medium size,
they are largely composed Of hull. By
thoroughly tanning and grading, th,
light oats will be famed out The
larger, heavier grains should be re-
tanned for seed and the small and
medium sized ones may be fed. Oats
for seed purposes should never weigh
less than % pounds per bushel. This
may be considered low for the best
results.
Undoubtedly a large amount of seed
oats will be used this season, that has
been grown outside of the state. In
such case, care should be taken that
they are properly cleaned and free
from Objectionable weed seeds Seed
secured from the north may under
ordinary conditions. be expected TO
give satisfaction Especially so this
season.. Oats from the irrigated re-
gions have not been tested sufficiently
by this station to permit their being
recommended for use in this state.
