Bill, and this is what he said:
nT DON'T think that just because
we have lost one good catcher
we ought to go gallivanting around
the country buying up all the catchers
we can get" said Bill. Mr.. Gala
way agrees with me. And we also
agree that we have four good men
to try out, and we figure that We
ought to get at least one good first
string man from the bunch. So far
as I'm concerned-and you can bet
I'm as strong for good backstopping
as anybody-Im perfectly satisfied to
wait until we see how our present

harvest should see this unique
method Of harvesting. The vines
should be lifted off the rows and
piled in every third middle and
left in the sun for three or four
hours, then put around upright
poles. These poles should be about
seven feet long and sharpened at
both ends and the larger end put
in'the ground about twelve inches.
Two narrow strips of plank
should be nailed horizontal to the
poll and crosswise to each other
about four inches from the grouud.
Stack the vines around the pole
with the peanuts inside. Cap well
at the top with vines. The vines
will cure nicely in these stacks
and the peanuts retains their nat
ural color. To leave out in the
sun too long discolors the peanuts
thereby depreciating their market
value. They will keep perfectly
in stacks for several months if
carefully stacked and capped.

FalI Planting Of Oats.


Ooutinutu from ufht NhEt
bushels Of oats per acre under normal
conditions. Our expense for growing
oats on the above johnson grass land
was IL cents hushel. This figures II
every expense even to the rent Of the
land just as If a man would rent farm,
buy the seed, and then hire all Of the
work done.
The value of an oat crop planted In
the fall is more than the grain and the
straw obtained. The winter grazing
from the crop is quite an item. Wher
the crop is planted on sandy soils, 9
great deal more grazing can be had
than when the crop is on the suffer
soils, however, there will be times
when these stiff soils will be dry enough
for stock to Craze. The grazing of oats
when the land is not wet is beneficial
to the crop. It causes the plants tc
make stronger root system and te
stool or tiller out. several plants com.
ing from the roots Of one. and thus
thickens the stand.
The results obtained rat this station
show that fall planted oats is the cheap
ost grain crop that can be grown.
