MANY WAYS OF SOWING OATS
Question Arises 40 to Advlsability Of
Making Any Preparation Of
the Soil.

Oats has been such an uncertain
crop In many Of the western states.
often the best crop being from q field
that was sown broadcast and scratched
In any old way. that a question has
been raised among farmers as to the
advisability Of making any prepare
tion Of the soil other than getting the
seed scattered and enough soil worked
up to cover them.
In some sections this lack of the
proper preparation ia the rule rather
than the exception. A great many
sow the seed among corn stalks and
disc or cover with the cultivator. har-
rowing afterward.
In some cases this plan has pro-
duced good crops. but from my obser-
walton and experience ths best crops
Of oats are grown on land that has
been we'll broken either In the fall or
the early spring and the oats drilled
In at the rate Of two bushels to The
acre.
