Chancellor Cancels Dates.

4 severe attack of throat trouble
has forced Chancellor Samuel Avery
OF the State university to cancel a
large number of engagements for ad-
dresses over the state. He was
booked to deliver fifteen speeches dur
ing the next two weeks, but will not
be able to deliver any of these. Dur
ing the last three months the chan.
cellor has been on several speaking
tours and the strain of speaking
every day has proved too great a
strain on his endurance. His physi-
clan has advised him to cancel all
speaking engagements.

IS ALL ABOUT OATS
RESULTS OF TESTS AND THE
RATE3 OF SOWING.
BY TIE EXPERIMENT ST..TIIN
What Is Shown by an Investigation
Of Six Years.-Othcr Matters at
the state Capital.

Tho Nebraska Experiment Station
| has Just issued Bulletin No. 113. en-
titled Oats" II discusses results of
variety tests, diff rent rates Of sowing
and the cultivation of oats.
During tho pact six years some
twenty varieties have been tested. and
about twelve of these varieties have
been tested for q period of five years.
The varieties can be summarized into
early types and late types. The early
varieties, which have ripened ON an
average July t1th, have averaged SO
bushels per acre, while the late va.
rietes have ripcned on an average
July Goth. and have given an average
yield of about 4O1 bushels. differ.
encc of about II bushels per acre as
an average for five years, in favor of
the early varieties of oats. Sixty Day,
Khcrsun and Texas Red. among the
early varieties. are the ones most
highcly recommended Among the
late varieties. Lincoln Oats have
given best results.
Various rates Of seeding Kherson
oats have been tested since 1903. Re
suits have shown in general that
about eight peCks per aero gives best
results when the Kherson oats are
drilled and about ten pcCks per acre
when they are sown broadcast. How.
ever, the rate of seeding depends
somewhat upon the variety of oats
used There is table showing the
relative size of gran in different
varieties Of oats, which demonstrates
that with small.graincd variety OF
oats, like Kherson, eight pccks will
furnish about as many plants per acre
as fourteen or nineteen peCks of lar.
ger-grained varieties. Hence. the rate
of seeding depends great deal upon
the size of the grain. Counts have
been made upon the different rates Of
seeding for two years to determine
the number of plants and number of
suckers or tillers produced per acre.
Where the planting is thin the plants
tiller freely. and almost as many
heads per acre are produced whore
four pecks is used as where eight
pecks is used. due to the stooling of
the oats under thin planting.
Cultivation of oats has been praC-
ticed since 1898. experiments being
conducted with plants sown in wide
rows, II to - inches apart. also eX,
periments where the oats have been
sOwn with the regular drill and broad
cast and afterwards narrowed with
an ordinary smoothing harrow or
weeder. 1t has not been found advis.
able TO plant oats in drills wide apart
except in very dry season, when
drilling twelve inches apart gave fair
results. Where oats have been sown
the ordinary way with a drill and har.
rowed from one to three times soon
after the oats came up, an average
increase in yield OF As bushels for
period of seven years has resulted.
However. where the oats were sown
broadcast, narrowing has given q
slight decrease in yield, due to the
fact that many plants were destroyed
In narrowing. 1t is recommended
that oats be drilled and narrowed.

The Best In
The West,
A Last Word About the Great
State Fair, One That Marks a
New Epoch in South
Dakota History.
The BIGGEST, CLEANEST, BEST.
Better Exhibits, More Machinery
Better Races and the Only
Derby In tho West,

Are you going to the State Fair?
Only few days more to make up
your mind, and, while it is import
ant to the Fair, and to your fellow
citizens who are vitality interested in
it's success, it is even more important
to yourself to decide right.
The day has passed when a father
could educate his brightest boys for
the law, the ministry, or a COM
mercial life and "make farmer out
of John because he hasn't enough
sense to do anything else." Twentieth
century farming demands the best
brains in the family aided by the
best special preparation that money
and effort can secure. What is "spe-
cial preparation?" 1t is simply a
familiar knowledge of the highest
results that can be reached in the
profession. What kind of a looking
COW will produce the most butter,
what kind of steer will turn out the
greatest weight of the highest priced
meat at the least cost, what kind of a
hog pays the most for corn, what Is
the best of every kind of grain, where
it is grown and how? No place, no
other school," affords so much, or so
cheap instruction along these prac-
t1cal lines as does the State Fair. To
take part in one boys Judging con-
test, OF either stock or corn, is worth
to any farmers boy ten times what it
will cost his father. If you are a
pushing, Industrious farmer, mecha-
mic or business man, you owe yourself
and your family few days of rest
and recreation, of sightseeing and
