Use Of Commercial Fertilizers Discuss
cd For and Against.
Mr.. Fullerton. who, with his wife, is
the head and 'front.' of the Long Is

follows on the use, or, rather, abuse, OF
commercial fertilizers. In answer tc
the question. ''Aren't you ever going to
use fertilizer, Mr.. Fullerton, he said
BLESS your souls, yes. Didn't use
fertilizer when plowed that rye I'M
der? Next fall am going to put on
about ten tons to the acre of manure
again, and am going to turn under
crimson clover, vetch and rye on every
square foot can get planted.

er, for we now can afford the lime 8
little time to work. Next summer when
am putting in second and third
crop on the same ground l shall prob
ably use blood and bone meal.
"Don't misunderstood me. think
chemical fertilizers are bully for old
wornout land, but it would be like car
rying Goals to Newcastle to put them
on virgin soil. .,. s@
"The craze for chemical fertilizer has
gone too far. There are places where
they have put it on so heavy with the
theory that if one ton is good two. tons
will be better) that they have chemical
laboratories, not farms. All chemical
fertilizing is lazy mans way He
claims he will not have weeds. so will
save cultivation. Weeds are the farm
er's best friends. They force him tc
cultivate, and lack Of cultivation is the
crime of modern farming. If they'll
pile some old manure on that ground
now and so liberate through decompo
sitien the various component parts OF
the chemical fertilizers they will have
farms again

Test Your Seed Oats

National Crop Improvement Service. B
Every grower Of oats should test his
seed before sowing. A very simple
way to test seed for termination Is
to take two tin plates, one slightly
smaller than the other, cut cotton fan
mel pads to At the inner side Of the
plate, soak pads In water and squeeze
out surplus moisture; put the pad
upon the larger plate and count 100
oat seeds and scatter over the pad;
piaee another wet pad over the seed
and invert the smaHer plate as a
cover to prevent evaporation. Add .
little water when the pad becomes
somewhat dry, but be careful not to
use too much water. Keep in tenn
[perature Of from "A to 80 degrees =.
At the end Of six or seven days, count
Ybur spreuted seeds.

The oat crop Of the world Is nearly
1000, OO0, 900 bush annually, most of
which is produced In Europe and
North America The principal oat-pro-
ducing countries are the United States.
European Russia, Germany, France.
and Canada s In the United States the
greater portion Of the crop is grown
in the upper Mississippi valley. ILL
nois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Nebraska are the leading states in
the production Of oats. The annual
crop, in 1912. of the United States. was
about 100000, 900.
The market grades Of oats depend
on the color. Of the grain and its free
dom from mixture and from dirt
The legal weight Of bushel Of
oats in most Of the states Is 81
pounds.
About two pounds Of straw are usu-
ally produced, to one pound Of grain.
The proportion of straw may be ma
terially reduced. however, in some va
rieties and In some seasons, or It may
be materially increased. The hull
usually comprises 80 to 35 per cent. Of
the grain, though the range is from
little more than 20 per cent. to about
As per cent.
Analyses shows oats are higher in
protein than corn. and about equal to
wheat and barley. They are higher
in ash than any Of the other grains,
and considerably higher in fat than
either barley or wheat On account
of the bulls, oats contain the highest
percentage of crude fiber, an undesir.
able element. Dat straw contains more
protein and more fat than corn slower
or the straw Of any other small
grain.
Feed Value ct Dat Straw.
Dat straw is more palatable and
more nutritious than the straw of any
other grain and is nearly equal to
corn slower. In addition to its use as
a feed it is largely used for bedding
and for the formation of manure. It's
fertilizing value is about So a ton.
Hay made from oats or from oats
and peas, is both palatable and nutri-
tious, being higher in feeding value
than timothy hay. These crops can
also be used as pasture or cut green
for feeding to stock. Sheep do par
ticularly well on oats and peas, either
when cut for hay Or when used as
pasture.

Oats do best on soils that are not
too fertile and the direct application
of fertilizers is generally inadvisable
as liable to produce lodging of the
grain and consequent loss. Where
oats are grown in rotation following
corn which has been we'll MANFRED.
there is no need of manuring the oats
themselves as enough plant food will
be available for the oats after the
corn has been removed. Rotation
alone will not add fertility. On soils
too poor to raise good crops of oats.
the application Of barnyard manure
at the rate of ten to twenty-five loads
per acre should be used, or where ma

Commercial fertilizers may best be
applied with a fertilizer attachment

A carefully prepared seed bed has
been one Of the most neglected fea-
lures in connection with the produc.
ton of oats. It is a very common
practice to see an end-gate seeder at
work in fields where the corn stalks
stih remain standing on the ground.
AS a matter Of fact, most Of the
preparation of the seed bed has been
very largely done after the oats have
been sown. Such practices will have
to be done away with before we can
expect the average yield Of oats to be
materially increased. The preparation
Of the seed bed by no means receives
the attention that 1t should in connec-
ton with all our grains, but especially
Is it deficient with our oats.

suit by an insurance company against
one j. j. Monahan was dismissed. The
company paid loss of $500 on build
ing is claimed not to have been worth
the amount paid. The dismissal was
due to the failure Of the company to
inspect the property before placing the
insurance. This is one of the causes Of
high rate insurance, as agents too often
write a policy for any amount asked,
and the result is .over-insurance. It is
also the duty Of an agent to inspect
property to see if there is any cause
which might result in fire, such as a
defective chimney or a stovepipe ran
through roof. It is due to those who
carry a conservative amount of in
surance and who are careful to protect
their property from FIRE, that all extra
hazards should be eliminated as they
are the ones TO pay the bills in the
