with three bushels per acre of Big
Four oats which had been graded.
The growth was strong and fine all
the spring and the yield 80 bushels

with ga bushels per acre of well
cleaned Big Four oats, broadcast, and

Fields 10 and IL cornered; one

acre while the other was ordinary
corn land, the crop somewhat thin
and. the yield AZ bushels per acre.
The seed, seeding and cultivation
were the same on both. Field II
was crossed by a strip of virgin soil
which had been an old roadway. This
strip grew oats a foot taller than the
rest of the field.
Five of these fields had very few
plants that stooled at all. Many
stalks were small and puny and bore
only few grains, and many heads
were only partially filled. This con-
dition has been observed for the past
few years and Mr.. Mason suggests 1T
may be caused by lack of plant food
in the soil or by the seed running
out" or both. This condition calls
for a careful test by plant breeding.
Mr.. Mason believes from study of
these fields and the reports of other
farmers. that we are more likely to
get the oats too thick upon the
ground than too thin. Spring plow-
ing showed but little advantage over
fall plOwed land. He attributes the
low yield on some farms largely to
the poor seed used and no attempt
to grade it with a tanning mill, and
believes that the farmer can greatly
improve his oats by selecting the best
heads from strong growing plants
and starting a breeding plot with the
seed from each head planted in
separate row and selecting seed year
after year only from the high-produc-
ing rows. He makes the emphatic
point that both good seed and good
soil are required for a large oats
crop; the poorest land will no longer
produce good oats. With better seed
and better preparation of the ground
the yield can be greatly increased

Really, Is that the only way in
which the implication was given
that indirect, roundabout, argumenta-

under the bridges. at Washington and

for Taft and the Roosevelt policies in

fact that the party promise on the

The Men In OYer-AlIs

In another column is published
clipping from The Industrial Era,
a paper published in the interest of
the trades unions and farmers union
of Virginia. This paper comes out
strongly against Slemp and Slemp-
ism, and, of corse, for Stuart. The
Industrial Era is not a political pa
per, but throws it's influence in poll
ties with the candidate favoring the
best measures in the interest of the
working pepole, as it understands
them. All over the country there is
a revolt against the present order of
things. The laboring classes have
borne their burdens long in the hope
of an Improvement and, instead of
the promised improvement matters
are getting worse everywhere, and a
change is -imperatively demanded.
The tidal wave cannot be checked
now. Slempism, which means Can
nonism, standpatism and all, must
go. in fact it is about gone already.
