! Cotton is low in price. Corn is
high and is going higher. Every
farmer is compelled to choose, right
now, between growing his own feed
grains and forages or asking for a
credit. in order to buy high priced
corn.
During the next thirty days fall
wheat and rye can be sown in all
the cotton growing district in Okla
homa. With ordinary conditions
either crop will furnish pasturage for
work animals through the winter
and early spring. 1t will also almost
carry hogs and cattle. Then, in tho
spring, II the crops are in good con.
ldition. they may be left for grain,
and will thus furnish the first cash
crop which the cotton grower can
possibly get in 1915.
The cotton grower should plant at
least one acre OF wheat or rye pasture
ture. right now, for every good ami
NAL he owns. Two acres for each
animal are better than one.
Soft wheat furnishes the earliest
and best pasture in the cotton re-
gion. Sow one bushel of seed to the
acre. II you have no wheat drill
scatter the seed broadcast in the cot
ton rows and cultivate it In evenly
at the. same depth you would plant
corn or cotton. Don't wait until it
rains to seed this wheat. Stop pick
ing cotton right now long enough to
do it.
Sow fall rye or winter oats the
same as wheat and with the same
amount OF seed. tl
One dollars worth of credit spent
for seed right now will stop ten dol
lars worth of credit for feed later
on.
