SEEDING OATS BY THE OPEN FUR
ROW METHOD.
correspondent writes We are in
terested in the plan of the open sowing
of oats where the seed is placed in deep
trenches from IA to 16 inches apart. Does
this method require as many oats per
acre as the ordinary method of drill
ing? Would the same amount of oats be
sown per acre in five rows as would ordi-
narily be sown in nine rows?
Seeding oats in the open furrow in the
south is especially important on land
which has not been as we'll prepared for
the crop as is desirable. Where the land
has been deeply broken and worked suf-
ficiently to secure fine friable seed bed,
we believe that winter oats may often
be seeded with disk drill to good adj
vantage. The important matter is to seed
the oats rather deeply and leave a fair
ly good ridge between the burrows so
that the freezes of winter will tend to
work the earth in down around the oats
as they grow and protect the roots in
case of sufficient number of freezes to
cause them to heave out of the ground
to some extent The disk drill has the
advantage of being u4aple ON ground
containing much, more litter and trash
than the hoe drill. Where land is not
in what may be regarded as ideal con-
dition, it is better to seed oats in the
open furrow. Two methods are available
at this time. There are some four hoe
drills on the market when seed the oats
about 16 inches apart. These will work
satisfactorily on well-prepared ground
but do not give as good service on ground
containing dirt and trash or in bad ply
steal condition as the disk drill or the
one-horse planter so commonly used by
the small farmer throughout the south.
OF course if a drill is constructed TO
SOW from nine openings and only half
of these are permitted to seed. not over
half as much oats will be seeded as
where all the openings are allowed to
feed In our experience with single
stalk drill about two bushels per acre is
the amount of seed ordinarily used. No
doubt with a nine furrow drill opened as
wide as possible, a considerably larger
amount of seed might be seeded. We be-
lieve that bushel and a half of good
clean seed is all that is ordinarily re-
quired, and possibly a smaller amount
might be used with satisfaction on ex-
ceptionally well prepared and fertile
ground. There is a tendency on the part
of some farmers to economic too much
on seed Some will fail to terminate
and be destroyed from one cause and an
other, and more or less of the plants may
be killed, hence fairly liberal seeding is
desirable in order to secure good
stand.

symptoms are swelling OF the skin in

soreness and erection of the hairs of
