T. A. Coleman Tells Of the
Art Of Growing Good Oats

general method of sowing the seed
broadcast and discing it in. Then,
too, a much better stand OF clover
was secured in the former case, due
probably to the fact. that the seed
was slightly covered and had a. bet
ter chance, owing to the plants be-
ing in rows. to get the necessary
sunlight and air.
In the usual rush of spring work.
we have fallen into the habit of try
ing to do too much in a given time,
at the expense Of the quality of the
work, and in many cases working
the land when the soil was too wet to
handle. This work with the lax
pairing the seed bad has precluded the
possibility of successful oat growing
and as a result we have been deprived
Of one Of the best feeds for young
growing animals of all kinds.
II these two experiments are found
to hold true in subsequent tests. 1t is
very clear that II sufficient care is
given to the securing variety that
is adapted to soil conditions and the
seed bed is put in proper filth. we
win vastly improve the yield Of this.

stuffs and do . great deal towards it's

It is all very we'll for US to say that
We can buy It cheaper than we can
produce It or that when We buy 1t, we
get good return upon the invest
ment, ETC., but 40 matter Of fact we
as rule feed such feeds as we have
on hand. II We have oats, the colts
do we'll, but II We have none. we feed
corn (at the same time wishing that
we had some oats) but the calves and
colts don't do % well. The general
farmer hesitates to pay out money
| for feeding stuffs even though he
knows he will get good returns upon
the investment. For this reason, it
Is very important that we produce a
variety Of feeds on the farm so that
maximum results may be secured
with the live stock When We decide
to do this and strive for the best
methods OF producing theA various
crops 50 that satisfactory yiSlds may
J be secured. then will oats occupy a
more important place In the ECONOMY
of the farm in central Indiana.

Il. A. coleman.)


The season of the year in which
we plan for the oat seeding is now
here and while central Indiana does
not produce a large acreage. seeming
to prefer wheat to fill the gap be-
tween corn and clover. yet this year
will not doubt witness the sowing
of larger crop than usual, owing TO
the severe drouth last fall, which
caused many farmers to curtail their
wheat seeding operation.
Such leftover fields should. for the
most part be sown to oats this
spring SO that no break will occur in
the rotation and so that the land may
receive it's usual seeding of clover.
No doubt the reason we do not
grow more oats is because we do not
fully appreciate its high value as a
feed for farm animals and also the
uncertainty of getting paying yield.
As a result, we have not given the
crop the study that its importance
deserves and have, in too many I'm
stances, been content with seed from
the nearest bin, regardless OF its
vitality or prolificy. In the clamor
for pure seed corn Of perfect vitality.
ETC., we must not loose sight Of the
fact that all the argument applied
with the same force to the seeds Of
the other crop grown.
That there is great difference in
the productiveness Of various vari-
eties Of oats and their adaptability to
certain soils is strilingly illustrated
In the results Of some variety tests
conducted under the direction Of the
Purdue experiment station in num-
Der Of counties in the state during the
last two years. On my farm there
was a difference of 1913 bushels per
acre between the lowest and the
highest yielding varieties when plant
ed the same day on very uniform soil.
Like differences were noted with the
same varieties on farm in Ha1c0ck
county.
At the same time. tests were noted
comparing the methods of putting the
seed in the ground. On fairly uniform
soil. In which the seeding was done
the same day, there was difference
OF 21.5 bushels per acre in favor of
breaking the land, narrowing, rolling.
etc, and drilling the seed in with a
wheat drill, as compared with the

SOIL FERTILITY.

How to Build Up Land That Has Been
ovsr,~erksd.
The only way to build up and hold
the fertility Of the soil is to feed a
large part of the crop and return the
manure to the land. II manure can
not be had, the next best thing is to
plow under crops grown for the puf-
pose. There should be deep blowing,
but no subsoiling. Leguminous crops
should be grown for the nitrogen they
bestow upon the soil.
Most soils. even when very poor. rs
Z general thing. contain plenty Of
plant food except nitrogen, though
sometimes other elements are lacking.
The texture must be Improved in or
der to increase fertility and plant food
and humus added. Tiliage goes I
great way toward improving texture,
but this alone is not enough. Humus
must be added. and In doing 20 plant
food is added. making the soil more
permeable to air and water
Humus is supplied to the soil, first,
by the addition Of stable manure, and
this is probably the best method, cali
ing for more forage crops and more
stock; second, by planting crops for
the purpose of turning them under
Glowing under green crops Ii called
green manuring); third. by growing
clover and timothy, which are usually
left down for several years, during
which time their roots thoroughly pen
citrate the soil. Old roots decay and
new roots grow. After the sod II

ter is turned under. with the mass OF
roots In the soil, this adds consider

cultivation Of clovers and alfalfa -
found In the fact that they are deep
rooted plants. and when their roots
decay they have channels deep into

garding public duty he may well
prove to be the greatest preacher and
doer OF political righteousness that
America has ever had. National irri-
cation, the Panama Canal, the h,is-
banding OF national resources, the
Russian-Japanese peace, all are ag-
gressive works that look toward
greatness, while the setting of gov
eminent regulation to block the path
OF government ownership and the adj
vancement OF his party into fore
ground where it could combat social
revolution have made him in the larg-
err perspective the great conservative
force of his day. In measure that
is really great he loves his country
and is not afraid.
Professor jeremiah w. jerks. pro-
lessor of political economy at Cornell
University: 1t is never safe to pre-
dict a mans place in history, but there
can be little question that President
Roosevelt's place among American
statesmen will be a high one. He
came to the presidency at time ripe
for leader of the people. He has un-
derstood their feelings, their aspira-
lions, their prejudices even better than
others, and in consequence he has
been able to advance reform move
ments. He has contributed more than
any other man to the moral awaken
ing Of the American people in methods
of business and of politics. Even in
international politics. with the able as
sistance OF Secretaries Hay and Root,
he has made this moral influence felt.
This moral uplift given by the first cit
izen of the republic to his fellow citi-
zens. especially to young men. is a
greater social and political service than
any specific political act, but his poll
cies will also prove fruitful. The con-
troll of corporations, the building of the
Panama Canal, the establishment OF
future peace by arbitration treaties. as
well as by strong navy. the uplife OF
the farming population. the conserva-
ton of our national resources, the ad-
vancement of the civil service, the pro-
motion of young energetic men on
merit, are all policies that make for
good to posterity."
