"Bide your time and real troubles will

sIn 1882 there was much snow and

the Des Moines Capital.
The Iowa City Republican says the
men who push the tariff bill to final
passage and do not talk much are the
best friends of the people.

MAKING OATS sELF-sUPPoRTiNc.
It will doubtless astonish most IL not
all Gate City readers to learn that oats
has never been a profitable crop to
American farmers. Last year Iowa
planted 100000 acres to oats and
reaped crop Of $500, 900 bushels
OF an aggregate farm value OF ST.
$4,000, while Illinois raised 101.675,-
600 bushels Of an aggregate farm
value Of $41,6s7, 900. These immense
totals would seem to indicate a profit,
but in an article in Technical World
Magazine for June Frank G. Moor
head says they do not, and he supports
his contention by figures obtained
from twenty-six farmers in the oats
belt These farmers, Intercepted as
to the cost of raising oats, reported
the average expense per acre as fol-

Aotdl ...s........... $lO.I4
Taking Iowa's yield Of 1908 and the
average price OF oats, an acres crop
brings the farmer 1856, leaving loss
for each acre Of fifty-nine cents. On
the 32.000,000 acres planted to the
grain In the whole country the total
loss would be $1S,SS0, 600. why then,
in the face OF this great loss, has the
American farmer continued to grow
oats? Mr.. Moorhead explains in
these wOrd-:
1T has not been solely because of
philanthropic, hygienic belief that
| the nation should eat less meat
and more oatmeal porridge. Oats has
been nurse crop. On it, as it shot
! up out of the ground quickly, ripen-
| ing SO as to be harvested early in July,
! has devolved the duty of shading
from the burning rays of the sun the
tender shoots Of clover and timothy
with which it has been sowed until
| they have become strong. Then the
! oats has been harvested and the
grasses, needing their nurse no longer,
have grown into dollars and cents
/ for the farmer. Again, rotation of
crops has been a factor. Sixty years
ago man bought an Illinois farm OF
12O acres. He has farmed it contin-
ually without any intelligent rotation
/ of crops or provision for returning 70
/ it the plant food taken from it. The
land used to yield thirty-fve bushels
4 of wheat to the acre. The last corn
4 crop averaged about ten bushels to
the acre. the state average being
j thirty-six bushels. Other farmers
have been wiser. They have allowed
the ground to rest from the demands
of wheat and corn and have grown
oats and other products demanding
other elements of fertility; at loss,
perhaps. but at a profit in the long run
of years"
Now it Is proposed to make oats
stand erect for the first time, self
supporting. Mr.. Moorhead quotes the
enthusiastic agronomists OF the
Agricultural College experiment sta
ton, which gave Secretary James Will
son to three Presidents and the ma
ton. as saying it can be done. These
men believe that the oats crop of the
Mississippi valley can be doubled
They have turned the trick at the
state experiment stations and they are
certain the American farmer, If he
will follow their advice, can do like
wise. Mr.. Moorhead writes:
-Four principal rules are to be fol
lowed. These relate to tanning and
grading seed, treatment for smut
preparation of the seed bed and seed
ing with drill instead of broadcast
In addition the early seeding slogan
has been raised Follow these rules
and two heads of oats will grow where
but one grew before.
"In their addresses to the thousands
Of oats growers who crowded the
oats gospel trains these agronomists
Surged first the Importance OF selecting
early varieties. Tests ranging over
aSlong period have proved that the
early variety will assure larger
yield in unfavorable as well as in ia
yorable seasons. Experiments have
shown that the large plump oats Der
ries yield better than the medium on
small, though the latter may be round
