Iowa farmers should avoid the va
riety of oats known as the Green
Russian. The quality is good, but
the grain buyers in the great mar
kets always cut the price from one
to two cents because of the color.
They look like they had been Wet
1t is best to grow good white oats in
Iowa. Some of the best varieties
are the Swedish Select, the Early
Champion and the Keerson.
Lastly, forget not the command to
always SOW clover with your oats.
This must be done to conserve the
fertility of the soil by scientific
rotation of crops. Above all, never
disobey that Iowa corn command
ment which says: Thou shalt not
follow oats or other small grain with
corn.
Observance of these maxims and
commandments will mean more
wealth and prosperity for Iowa, more
automobiles for IOwa's farmers, and
more happiness for the city dwellers.
More oats will mean more money and
more corn. Iowa will be a better
state and her people will be better
people.

| low in spots. Those spots showed
where the seed had been sown more
lavishly. Fields yield best when they
are planted evenly.
Oats grow best on corn ground
that has been disced. Do not burn
the corn stalks. They will in time
add the wonderful fertility of humus
to the soil.
1t is best to SOW clover seed in
the spring and at the same time when
the oats are planted. The clover
seed will not be planted as deep as
the oats. Ac will grow up slowly
and be overshadowed by the ranker
growth of the oats. When the oat
crop is harvested it will still be lowly
enough to escape the knives of the
binder.
During the following winter it will
remain green beneath the SHOWS and
early in the second summer of it's
life it will make hay. Then in the
late summer it will mature and be
ready for the harvesting of a crop of
seed.
Good shocking and stacking mean
much in the saving of the crop of
oats.
Prof. Holden told his class of a
man who used pitch fork to shock
his oats. The class joined in a big
laugh. The joke would be lost on
most city people.
But it is a joke. The oats must be
shocked and stacked right. They
must be put down by hand and put
down hard so that they will stay
They must be carefully capped" A
dozen of sheaves is enough in a
shock. 1t is best to stack the crop,
too. Then the grain is safe and the
field is clear for fall plowing.
Care of the harvest, such as this,
means bigger financial returns. 1t
is the same with other grains.
Iowa farmers have been careless
of their barley. There is a great diff
ference between good barley which
has been well cared for and the poor
barley which has been carelessly
handled. The brewers will not buy
poor barley. BY proper care barley
will bring $1.50 a bushel, but if it
is discolored by poor care it will
bring only from so to 80 cents.
Smut is an enemy of the oat crop
that especially attacks the early va
rieties. Treat the seed TO kill the
smut. Put a pint of formaldehyde
or formalin in a barrel Of water and
sprinkle the solution over the seed.
Smut attacks the maturing oats
through their blossoms. During the
blossoming period the anthers of the
flower push out for an hour or two
at each midday. This leaves the
g-2in UNPROTECTED and the germ of
the smut, blown about by MONDAY
breeze, lodges within. Then the stalk
is denuded of it's fruit and sends the
poison of the smut on from flower to
flower
1t is not the hot winds or the
that leave barren stalks
in the oat field. 1t is the smut.
So remember to treat the seed in
for such an enemy to the
harvest.
Early and medium varieties of oats
are best for Iowa. They are best
for the same reason that the early
sown oats is best. For the northern
part of the state the medium varie-
ties are superior and for the south
ern part the early varieties excel.

In which the policy was opposed by
most OF the republicans In each

democratic votes. Then the people

aroused more excitement than any
other which that locality saw since
the same issue was put forward in
Sir John "A. Macdonald's days, a quar-
ter OF q century ago, rejected the ov-
erture.
Manifestly the correct thing to do
now is for us to repeal reciprocity. 1t
takes two to make d bargain, and
Canada refuses to make 1t. Reel
pTocity was opposed by q majority OF
the American farmers. For his per-
sistence In pushing il. Taft was cut by
hundreds of thousands Of republicans

gates to the Chicago convention.
This was the principal weapon Of as
sault on him in the upper tier OF
states, from Maine to Washington.
en- this issue Colonel Roosevelt, as the
opponent of the president, received
many votes In those states In the pri-
maries. A repeal OF the act in the
present session of congress would UNI
doubtedly help Taft in all the agricul-
tural states in the elections in Novem-
Der. Even those who were most ar
in pushing that scheme when 1t.
was before congress ought to see now
that 1t is impracticable, and that our
statute book should no longer be cum
bered with It. The matter will come
directly before the senate a day or two
hence when the tariff bills are con-
sidered. This is an excellent time to
take Canada at her word, and with.
draw the reciprocity offer.

~ANTI.HANNA FIAsco.

The meeting held in Fargo Friday
for the organization of a third party
must be unsatisfactory to it's pro-
motors. The original idea of the
meeting-the advocacy Of Colonel
Roosevelt--was sidetraeked and Chair
man Lauder turned the session into
an anti Hanna affair.
Men who originated the Roosevelt
movement in the state-were declared
unit to participate in the Roosevelt
convention by q man-who a been
a LaFollette shouter-and had run on
a LaFollette ticket-tn opposition to
roosevelt. Can you conceive a o
ridiculous political miscarriage?
Lauder blamed the Roosevelt failure
to the support of Hanna, How ridicu-
lous this is is shown by the fact that
while Roosevelt lost in the March pri-
maries-Hanna won the gubernatorial
nomination in June. The result GER
tainly refuted the Lauder contention.
The threat of a full state ticket by
the third party fellows holds no ter
rors for the friends OF Hanna. 1t is
conceded that-whiie a majority Of the
insurgent republicans will support
Hanna-there will be some SO antago-
nistic that they will not vote for him.

with a third candidate it will go to

formidable candidate Hanna would

A CHANGE or view.

There has been q radical change in
public opinion on many questions in
recent years-but none more import
ant to the physical welfare OF the hu-
nj race than the new idea now be-
ing advocated. 1t provides for the
prevention of the birth OF detectives.
In the animal kingdom the survival
OF the strongest is the rule. The weak
lings fall and die. But man-unlike
the beasts of the feld-cares for the
weakling. He supports detectives and
gives assistance to the failures.
This perpetuation Of weakness is
proving an expensive proposition. 1t
fills the jails, il crowds the almshouses
and packs the asyiums. 1t increases
detectives and is a bid for failures.
The ever increasing demand for more
asylums and hospitals for mental and
physical wrecks-shews the lowering
standards Of intelligence and ply
stdue.
The public is rapidly changing its
views on these subjects. Instead of
caring for this eve~r-increasing horde
OF mental and physical weaklings-the
new idea is to prevent their birth. 1t
is another illustration of an n Of
prevention-rather than a pound Of
cure.
Scientific men are deeply interested.
Insurance officials furnish valuable
statistics-the medical profession is
confident of a ~change-and the public
iseawakening to the situation.
