WHY OATS RUN OUT
Fan Thoroughly and Treat for Smut
With Formaldehyde.

National Crop Improvement servicel
That the oat crop has decided
tendency to run out or go light"
cannot be doubted.
When seed from the bin is planted
without thorough tanning, the small
kernels may produce very frail plants
and probably no grain at all The
medium weight seed is only a little
better, but those plants produced
from the strong plump kernels which
have sfficient vitality to withstand
practically all adverse conditions will
produce crop to be proud Of
1t is advisable in most sections to
fan practically so per cent of the
grain out of the original pile Of oats

FOR BETTER BARLEY +
Price Depends on Kind and Quality.
One Type Should be Grown
In Community.

National Crop Improvement Service.
The average yield of Barley for
1913 was 1913 bushels per acre against
29.7 bushels for 1912. This shows a
decrease OF 5.3 bushels per acre for
the current year The average of the
last ten years has been about rs bio
bushels so that the season just closed
marked a decrease Of 1.6 bushels be-
low that average.
On November first the average
farm price for Barley was SAT cents
per bushel against 538 cents per
bushel for 1912. The fact that much
higher. prices have been paid for good
mailing Barley should be generally
recognized by farmers everywhere,
and when once known, will itself be
the proper stimulus for the produc-
ton of better varieties Of Barley.
Oderbrucker is recognized as one OF
the best yielding varieties, as well as
a variety especially adapted to malt
ing and pearling purposes. The State
of Wisconsin is growing a pedigreed
strain of this variety in tremendous
quantities. Every Barley growing
locality would do vel! to study the
Wisconsin system, and use every eff
fort to have Barley of the best type
exclusively.

SMUT IN OATS
e. T. Robbins, Agent, Tazeweil Co..
ILL.,, Will Wage Campaign of Eradi-
cation Of Smut by Treating Seed
With Forraldehyde.

''The oats crop was carefully
studied and it was found that 5 to
10 per cent. of the oats were affected
by smut. The average of fields ex.
amined showed about 10 per cent Of
the crop affected. This would mean
a loss Of at least bushels per acre
amounting to fully 81. This loss can
be saved by treating the seed oats at
an average cost of l cent per
bushet per year. and cam
paign is planned for next spring
In treating oats in this way. 1t was
found in studying the oats crop, that
drilled oats had usually more uniform
stand and better yield than broad.
casted oats, amounting this year to q
gain Of 5 to 10 bushels per acre"
