OATS IN ROTATION.

Oats naturally follow corn in rota-
ton. The season. the ease with which
they can be gotten in, and the way in
which they fit in after corn ali make
the seeding Of this crop desirable at
that time. In states where corn is not
grown, oats should follow wheat or
barley, allowing these two crops to
subdue any sod that may be plowed
under. This is necessary, because
oats require great deal of moisture
to bring a good crop to maturity. The
moisture is more apt to be held in
land previously worked for other crops
than in sod OF any description.
Experiments in man, states have
proved beyond doubt that a good sys
TEN of crop rotation aids In holding
and increasing the yield of oats as
well as corn and wheat. In some
states, particularly on the southern
edge of the corn belt, many farmers
are dropping out the oat crop. This
should not be done, as they fit we'll
into many schemes of cropping and
can be made to pay good money re-
turn II good seed is used and the seed
bed properly prepared.

PACKERS JURY
CMPLETE TOMORROW
Attorneys Prepare to Examine VIII
nesses on "Wednesday In Beef
Trust Case.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-With the ex-
pectation that the jury in the pack
ers' trial would be completed by to-
morrow, government attorneys today
prepared to begin examination by
Wednesday OF the witnesses by whom
they hope to prove criminal con-
spiracy to control the beef trade
throughout the country. United States
Marshal Hoy was busy today serving
subpoenas for the production of rec
ords of sales and other documents on
the various packing houses whose
heads are under charges.
The wording of these subpoenas in
dicates that the government hopes to
prove that the original compact for a
community interests in the packing
industry was started nearly fifteen
years ago. When court opened today
there were six tentative jurors who
had not been questioned by the gov
eminent, but passed temporarily by
the defense, five passed tentatively by
the prosecution and defense and one
not yet examined by the packers. At
torney John Barton Payne, for the
packers. continued with his question
ing along exactly the same lines as
heretofore demanding that candi-
dates for the jury define words, iden-
tify colors, and elucidate general
phrases in plain English.
J1I, TT
chant of Chicago, and w. F. Moftitt, a
decorator, also of this city, were ex-
cused because they said they had a
fixed opinion in the case. John A.
Herheh, formerly in the wire business,
was then qualified as temporary juror
Herheh, with John Scharlan of
Lombard, was excused on account of
advanced age. Geo. w. Dodge, tenn
porarily passed Saturday by both
sides, was peremptorily challenged by
the defense. Howard o. Bates, a
merchant tailor of Lagrange, was ex-
cused
Charles R. Horrie, of Chicago; Al
fred r. Lewis, of Meriden, farmer,
and VIM T Hamilton, Of Chicago a
grocer, were tentatively qualified by
the prosecution.
To his already lengthy list of polit-
ical questions, framed for prospective
jurors, Attorney Payne added new
series today. He demanded to know
whether the fact that United States
Senator Kenyon was associated with
counsel for the government would af-
feet the venireman's ability to try the
case solely on the evidence, Another
was whether the venireman had any
opinion as to reasonable or unreas-
enable restraint of trade

w, Earl, metal worker and union
man. was tentatively qualified to fill

EARLY MATURITY OF OATS Es.
SENTiAL TO LARGE YIELDS IN
THE CENTER WEST.
{By II. G. BELL.)

The greatest bane of oat production
In the center west is the attacks OF
smut and rust which blight the grow
ing crops. With rapid rise in tenn
perature and heavy precipitation
such conditions as prevail over this
area-the crops receive an early and
vigorous start in growth.
Smut and rust being both fungus
diseases receive an equally favorable
start AS consequence the disease
bearing spores are liberated just at a
time when the oat plant is in the most
vigorous growing stage. These spores
fall upon the damp surface of the
growing plant and begin growth upon
1t Immediately. BY the time the heads
appear and the filling period is reached
the diseases have sapped a great deal
OF the vitality. Moreover, the rapid
rise In range of temperature in May,
June and July often ripen the oats be-
fore they are matured. These two
conditions make the growth of early
oats very desirable feature.
To assist the plant to early maturity.
1t should have an abundance of we'll
balanced food at the proper time.
Such balance of plant food does not
often exist in the soil at the time it
is needed for this crop. 1t can be pro-
vlded by the use of about 200 to 500
pounds per acre of complete ferti-
nzer, relatively high in phosphoric
acid and potash. On most of our rich
black soils the above quantity of fer
tillzer. analyzing about per cent am.
monia, eight per cent. phosphoric acid
and seven per cent potash will give
good results.
