Fall Plant
ing of Oats

~ ~SSNO
There is every rnason to be-
Iieve that the price of corn and
oats will be much higher next
year than it has been for many
years. For this reason every
farmer who can possibly do so
should plant a few acres to oats
this fall. Fall planting is surer
and more profitable than spring
planting. During the past ten
years oats planted in the fall at
this station have yielded, on the
average, about one-third more
per acre than spring planted
oats, In some cases the yield
was double.
If the time will permit, good
preparation will pay well. In
one of our experiments where
the land was thoroughly broken
and narrowed, we obtained T
bushels per acre more than
where the oats were disced in
on pea stubble. The plats were
on land that would ordinarily
produce J to Z Of a bale of cotton
per acre. If one is pushed for
time then put the oats in the
qaickeSt way.
Not less than 2 bushels of oats
per acre should be planted and 3
bushels will give a bigger yield.
A grain drill should be used for
putting the seed in if possible.
The increase in the yield of oats
from 20 acres for thre years will
pay for one of these drills. In
1871 the yield from a plat plant
ed with a drill was double that
obtained from plat planted
broadcast by hand and covered
with a disc harrow. The winter
freezes kill more of the oats that
are broadcasted by hand than
than those planted with drill.
For fall planting the Texas Red
Rust Proof is decidedly the best
variety to plant in this section.
For spring planting the Burt oat
has given us better results.
Right now while there is
plenty of moisture in the soil is
the best time toplant. However
if planting cannot be done now,
it can be done any time between
now and October Is. We have
planted as late as November lst
a number Of times and secured
good stands.
Oats planted on Johnson grass
meadows is a profitable crop.
In 1918 we obtained 49,7 bushels
Of oats per acre and then cut %
tons of Johnson grass hay per
acre from land heavily infected
with Johnson grass. This year
we obtained So bushels of oats
and have Ii tons Of hay at the
present time. This oat crop was
planted the 18th of last Novem-
ber. In addition to the above,
after the oat straw was baled,
the weights showed a yield of
one ton per acre. Experiments
show that when oat straw is fed
to cattle getting ensilage and
cottonseed meal the results are
just as good as when the cattle
get ensilage, cottonseed meal
and johnson grass hay. Lands
capable of producing a bale of
cotton per acre should yield
around fifty bushels of oats per
acre under normal conditions.
Our expense for growing oats on
the above johnson grass land
was Is cents a bushel. This
figures in every expense even tC
the rent of the land just as if 6
man would rent a farm, buy the
seed, and then hire all of the
work done.

Robert Decatur Cunningham

DCNASNAA
On last Wednesday afternoon,
about three O'Clock, October IA,
Mr.. r. D. Cunningham went up
to to meet his Pilot, face to
face" In his going, Monroe
county sustained the loss of one
of her most valuable citizens,
the Methodist Church one of its
most faithful helpers, the cause
of Christ one of its most effici-
ent and loyal leaders and sup
porters.
He was born Dec, IA, 1842 in
the county where his life was
spent. He was nearing his 72nd
mile stone. His health has been
good, his energy Unabated and
his zeal for all good causes still
fresh with youthful ardour.
At the call to arms in 1861 he
was one Of the first to volunteer,
seeing four years of hard service.
Brave and strong on the battle
field, he was stronger in the hard
task Of reconstruction, in build
ing up a devastated home and a
lost fortune.
In 1868, Dec. Is, he was hap
PLY married to Miss Matte
Grady, than whom more lovely
christian wife and faithful help
meet we have never seen. Elev-
en- happy children blessed their
home, nine growing to maturity
and eight-fve manly sons and
three lovely daughters together
with his loved companion sur
vive to mourn his loss. He and
his noble good wife have reared
family of which they were
justly proud and who each day
praise them in more ways than
words.
He confessed Christ as a Saw
or and joined the Methodist
Church when but a boy, He
was soon elected to a place on
the Official Board of Circuit
which place he retained and and
filled honorably and efficiently
through a long life. To say he
will be much misse is very true,
to say he was much honored and
loved does not express the half.
Truly he was a Patriarch of God.
Loved and honored as a father,
he was a friend and councillor of
young and old. His advice was
sought and his judgment res
pected. His works do praise
him" and live after him. The
much repeated lament of How
we shall miss him" voices the
feeling Of all who knew him.
To have so lived is a more noble
and enduring monument than
can be carved of marble or gran
ite.
On Thursday, noon, October
Is, we laid his body to rest with
that of the dust of many loved
ones and friends, amidst the
flow ers plucked and kindly p ac-
ed by loving hands, surrounded
nv a large concourse of weeping
friends. May the sod lie lightly
..OUye his sacred dust, and may
the flowers blossom sweetly
around this halIowed spot. He
has gone to a brighter home and
