The damage or loss from oat smut
is much greater than is generally sup.
posed. owing to the fact that the smut
appears before the oats are ripe and
Is blown off so that it is not very
noticeable at harvest time. The hun.
dreds OF tests that have been made by
the stations show that the Weld of
cats is increased one to FIVE bushels
per acre by this treatment and some
times much more than this. The aver.
age loss to the state each year is from
to IL per cent, amounting to from
s1.00o,000 to s2,0O0,O0O asnually, in
the cat growing states. In some cases
there has been found as high as 3s
per cent of smut aud frequently from
20 to 20 per cent The average annual
loss to the man with eighty acres OF
oats is 250 bushels. Early oats like
the kherson and Early Champion are
especially likely to be injured by smut
and extra care should be observed In
treating them. The loss from smut
can be entirely prevented by the
forinaldehyde treatment, which every
farmer ought to practice before blam-
ing "the middleman."
There is enough money wasted ev-
cry year in every state to pay for a
trained agriculturist for each county.
Farmers are beginning to appreciate
business methods.

COST OF PRODUCING THE DAT
CROP.

The Nebraska experiment station, In

of a large number of representative
farmers in that state, says that it
costs S11.3S to produce an acre of
oats. This cost includes labor, seed
etc, and the interest on money in

For the past several years the av-
erage price Of oats has been about IS
cents per bushel AT this value it
VIII take 80 bushels per acre to pay
the full cost of production.
Now this is a larger yield than the
average farmer is raising in most
states, but Is nearly the minimum pos.
sible yield Oats should average
from 40 TO 60 bushels under good fam.
ing practice, and in that case will net

FAN YOUR SEED OATS.

Oats have tendency to become
Eight and chaffy, even in those sections
best adapted to their growth. AS one
goes south this is very pronounced, a
large number of seemingly good grains
being nothing but hull with no kernel.
Such grains cannot of course, grow.
The tanning mill should be in wider
use than now prevails. It will take
out these chaffy and understood grains
leaving only the good plump seed. The
tanning mill will also take out large
numbers of weed seeds, which would
otherwise infest the fields.
By such thorough cleaning and
grading of seed an increase in yield
and quality of grain produced can be
expected.

EARLY AND LATE OATS.
10y L. c. Rrown.)

In very favorable season for
growth, such as we had in 1910, the
later varieties are bigger producers
than the early sorts; or, in other
words, in seasons when soil conditions
and moisture favor a heavy growth of
straw the late varieties have the adj
vantage. But in seasons when growth
conditions are hard the early sorts
will give good account of themselves.
For southern Illinois recommend the
early Sixty Day variety, providing it
can be sown on tolerably good ground.
but for main crop in central and north
ern Illinois l do not recommend Sixty
Day or any of the early sorts: OF
course, there are conditions under
which | would SOW Sixty Day in north
ern and central Illinois. If the seed
ing season was late, or If wanted to
remove the oats crop from the ground
as early as possible, the seeding Of
an early variety would then be adv.s-
able. These early oats will yield toll
erably uniform crops, but they have
not the ability to produce extraordi-
nary crops under very favorable con-
ditions, and right there is where the
big, late varieties outstrip them. These
early oats have place all over the
oats belt, but they have their limita-
tons as to most favorable zones. This
variety does we'll in South Dakota: 1t
likewise does well in Nebraska and
some parts of Ohio, and in some parts
OF Kansas, but under our experience
of 1909 and 1910 do not recommend
them for main crop in southern Hi
nois.
