OATS IN ROTATION.
Why a Proper System Of Rotation
\ Should Be Practiced-Oats Follows
Corn in Corn Belt.
(By H. G. Bell, Agronomist.)

National Crop Improvement Service.1
A crop Of Is bushels will remove
from the soil IS pounds of nitrogen
2S pounds of phosphorus and g.
pounds Of potash, to use the common
terms. Without sufficient nitrogen
oats will be short in straw, stunted
in growth and get such a slow start
that they will not fill ahead of the
rust. Without sufficient phosphor1c
acid oats will not fill plump and will
he weak in termination. Without suf
fcient potassium they will have weak
straw and a poor yield Of poor quality.
A proper rotation must be followed OF
these plant food elements will be
drawn from the soil and the quality OF
the grain will be inferior
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 all make
the seeding Of this crop desirable at
that time. In states where corn is not
grown oats should follow wheat OF
barley, allowing these two crops to
subdue any sod that may be plowed
under. This is necessary, because
oats require a 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 many states have
proved beyond doubt that 8 good sys.
tenn Ct crop rotation aids in bidding
and increasing the yield Of oats as
well as corr and wheat. In Some
states, particularly on the southern
edge Of the corn belt, many farmers
are dropping out the cat crop. This
should not be done, as they fit we'll
into many schemes Of cropping and
can be made to pay a good money re-
turn If good seed is used and the seed
bed properly prepared. zs.>

Would Raid Own Field
To Keep Off Outlaws

NEW YORK, July G.-Baseball circles
here today were interested in reports
that organized baseball was planning to
head off outlaw opposition by placing
clubs Of strong minor leagues in cities
where the field now is exclusively held
by either the NNational or the Ameri-
can League. Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati, Detroit, Cleveland, and Wash
ington were the cities named where
either international League or Ameri-
can Association teams might be placed
No representatives of organized game
could be found today, however. who
would confirm the reports that such an
intention was In the minds OF the big
league men. The nearest approach was
the quoted remark Of President Ebbets
of the Brooklyn club, thar something of
the sort had been discussed. He would
not add to this statement,
The idea, as outlined would he TO
provide continuous baseball in cities
mentioned, and thereby prevent any
outlaw organization from getting pat
ronage sufficient to give il a strong
foothold, which might enable II 10
major league. 1t Is believed that can
ital for outlaw undertakings would
be rather difficult 10 find II such a
plan were put in force. Its adoption
would, Of course. involve the dropping
of several cities now in the Interna-
tiOnal and American Association cir
cults. substituting the major league
cities now occupied by but a single
club.

MINOR LEAGUE HAS
PAIR OF PROSPECTS
Mike Kahoe Finds Two Kids,
But They Need More Ex-

By SENATOR"

CHICAGO. July 2l-Mike Kahoe, prize
scout, after a tour of the Western
League. is back with the Climbers once
| again for a day or so. He has re-
ported to Manager Griffith that there
are one or two good prospects in that
circuit. but that neither will do for
the big show as early as 1914. Kahoe
| is expected now to leave on another
swing through the bushes, this time
heading for the Atlantic coast.
II saw Paul Musser pitch and win his
first game for Des Moines at Topeka
the other day." said Kahoe. While he
has something to learn. he looks better
than when he was in Washington. Mus
ser should be worth another trial with
us in the fall. Frank Isbell thinks very
we'll of him already"
Several of the Climbers were sadly
frightened last night. and for a short
time rumors ran that one or two had
been drowned trying 10 save the life of
a drowning man on the beach. At
least II was possible to learn just what
started all this stuff. Henry. Ainsmith,
Laporte, and Gedeon started to swim
from the pier out to the life line some
distance away. The wind was increas-
ing, piling up a lot of rollers and max
ing 1t a hard task for the athletes. All
four were pretty well exhausted when
they reached the rope, and after rest
ing they started back. They found the
undertow very strong, and Ainsmith
and Gedeon were so weak from fight
ing the force of the water that they
were.ready for help when they reached
the pier. Ainsmith was pounded by
wave against a piling, coming down on
1t with his chest. He clung to the pill
ing, and willing hands lifted him up to
the top of the pier. Gedeon was
slammed by the same wave against an
other piling. striking the back of his
head and his right arm and right leg.
He had presence OF mind enough to
yell, and he was pulled up 10 the pier.
His legs are covered with bruises.
Meanwhile, out on the rope just va

to give up hope. Milan, standing on
the pier. noticed his actions and started
the life savers out for the swimmer. He
was brought ashore thoroughly ex-
h6usted.
AS soon as the Griffmen could come
ashore they formed a little procession
back to the bath house. Each one car
ried a bundle; in each bundle was a
bathing suit. Last nights adventure
has stopped all swimming for them.
Joe Gedeon says he might have drown
