GROWING WINTER A

Every southern farmer should grow
enough oats to feed his work stock
during at least a portion of the year.
In addition to furnishing feed grain
at less cost than it can be purchased,
fall-sown oats prevent the washing of
the soil, by which fertility is frequent
" lots. There is still time to SOW
winter oats in the Gulf states, though
this work should be done at once if
good results are to be obtained. Ac-
cording to specialists of the depart
ment, oats sown in the southern states
during October or the first half of
November may be expected at least
twice the yield of grain obtained FROM
spring seeding.
Winter grain may be own on land
which produced a crop of cotton, corn,
or cowpeas the past summer. If this
land has E0t been plowed it will be
better to make the surface soil fine
n loose with the disk or drag har
row thar to delay seeding by blowing
now. Better results are obtained
from sowing with the drill than from
broadcast seeding, though if q drill
is not available sowing the seed broad

results in a good stand. If the pre-
ceding crop was well fortified, 100
to 200 pounds of acid phosphate will
be all that the oats require this fall,
though a little nitrate of soda will help
the fall growth, especially if the soil
is not already we'll supplied with nj
trogen from the growing Of cowpeas
or some other legume. A top dress
ing of SO to 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda applied when growth starts in
the spring will greatly increase the
yield.
The variety of. winter oats most
commonly grown in the South is Red
Rustproof. Appler, Lawson, Hundred
Bushel, Bancroft, and Cook are selec-
tons or strains of Red Rustproof
which are said to be particularly val
liable in some localities. The Fulg-
hum is a promising new variety which
natures q week or 10 days earlier
than the Red Rustproof, and usually
produces as much or more grain. As
the kernel of all these varieties are
large, from 2 1-2 to 8 1-2 bushels
should be sown to the acre, The
smaller Quantity is sufficient If the,
seed is drilled early on well-prepared
land, while 8 bushels or O are
needed when the seed is sown broad
cast late in the season. The Winter
Turf or Virginia Gray is a very hardy
variety, which Is valuable for pasture
Or hay production, but which does not
yield as much grain in the Southern
States as the Red Rustproof. On ac-
count of the small size of the kernels,
only 1 IL bushels of seed OF this va
riety are reQuired-U. Slept. of Ayr,
