Growing Winter Oats in the South.
Washington, ID. c., Nov. S.-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
fallsown oats prevent the washing
OF the soil by which much fertility
is frequently lost. There is still
time to sow winter oats in the Gulf
States, though this work should be
done at once II good results are to
be obtained. According to specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, oats sown in the South
ern States during October or the
first half of November may be ex-
pected to produce at least twice the
yield of grain obtained from spring
seeding.
Winter grain may be sown on land
which produced a crop of cotton,
corn or cowpeas the past summer. II
this land has not already been plow-
ed, it will be better to make the sur
face soil fine and loose with the
disk or drag harrow than to delay
seeding by plowing now. Better re-
suits are obtained from sowing with
the drill than from broadcast seed
ing, though If q drill Is not avail
able sowing the seed broadcast on
well-prepared land usually results
in a good stand. If the preceding
crop was well fertilized, 100 to 200
pounds of acid phosphate will be all
that the oats require this fall, though

WHAT The SOUTH
SHOULD REMEMBER
That 1t Pays To Support the Pol
icy Of Keeping and Manufac-
turing Cotton at Home.

Thirty-eight years ago the far
mers of Iowa were burning big vel
low ears of corn for fuel. There
was no market for it. II would
make meal, and meal would make
bread. But wheat was also cheap.
and there was no cpecial demand
for corn for human food. Some Iowa
farmers did not gather their corn.
at least no more of it than they ac-
tually needed for what small amount
of stock they had on hand. Corn
in Iowa sold for and Z cents a
bushel. Those were hard years. The
"homesteaders" in many parts of
the corn States live in dugouts. The
bankers had little money and when
a loan was made it was at two per
cent. per month, "a per cent. per
year. During those years there were
those who agitated an initiation of
the currency to help the farmers
out. Some of the farmers voted for
such initiation. Others refused to do
so. The corn growers wiated unil
the clouds rolled by. they waited
until the factories and shops caught
up with the corn fields, they waited
until there were enough men to con
sumo the farmers product. Then the
farmer came into his own.
The hated the abused doctrine
of Protection filled the American
shops with workingmen. and the
wOrkingmen bought the food pro-
ducts coming from the farm. This
was reciprocity. There was no talk of
ceasing to plant corn. There was no
proposition made to reduce succeed
ing corn crops one-half. These prop
ositions are pending in the South in
regard to cotton and the cotton crop.
The voters in the South have said
by their ballots that they didn't care
if cotton were manufactured in Eu-
rope. and as a consequence most of
it has been manufactured in Europe.
The moral of this is that the South
ern planter should begin to find out
that it is a good deal safer for him
to have cotton mills in Alabama and
Georgia than to have them at Man
England. The cotton mills
ought to all be in the South within
easy reach of the cotton fields. Then
business would be on a healthy basis. !
It 10 wicked to talk about cutting out :
crops to increase the price .
Of the crops on hand. That doctrine
and argument belong to China. not ,
IN the United States. The use of cot
on is constantly increasing. 1t has
,nly been a few years since raw cot
on sold at cents a pound. The
planters were able to get through
hose periods. They can certainly
survive present conditions.

Roceport High Defeats NCHenry.

ROckport. Ky. Nov 4.-In one

ed McHenry AT the Green River bali
park Tuesday afternoon. AntagOnism

the game was played fast and furi-
ously. MclIenry was outclassed by

some mighty good work and made
some excellent plays. II was all
RockpOrt could do TO score and this
occurred in thief irst inning when
McDougal scored on fly. The Wis
itors from that time on refused TO
even let Rockport approach in
speaking distance of score. Rock
port retaliated by shutting McHenry
out without score. The only feature
TO mar an otherwise perfect game
occurred in the last inning when
Pitcher Parrott of the McHenry
team was truck by pitched ball. He
was tunned for a few moments but (
was otherwise uninjured. Unlike

The Canals Weak Spot.

Now that all European countries
are so occupied with their individual
troubles and the troubles of their be-
ligerent neighbors, it is time for us
to look after our own.
Before the European war is over
the Panama Canal will no doubt he
called upon to play part. From
land to sea is an easy shift, and since
the arena of war is reaching out the
navies of the powers must sooner or
later come out of hiding and fight
for supremacy of the sea.
The Panama Canal is not yet an
assured success. 1t has discovered
drawbacks since the unofficial open
ing. These will sooner or later be
remedied but from expert opinion It
will probably take some time to
make the canal a perfect route from
ocean to ocean.
The most recent slide into the
Culebra cut has already been clear
ed away sufficiently to allow passage
to the fleet of rather small vessels
that were waiting for the trip in one
direction or the other, but it will be
some time before the slides dam
age can be entirely overcome and
like a full depth of water
for large vessels can be provided.
The greater trouble is that the
most expert engineer, not even Col.
Goethals himself, can say when an
other slide may happen. Some day
these slides may exhaust themselves, |
but as long as the land slides into |
the canal the work in the cut must !
be done over and over again.
If this country was at war and il |
from one side of the con-
tinent to the other, it would be eX- |!
.remely embarrassing If slide pre-
passage, and the fleet hal to
wait until the channel could again
be cleared.
These Sides are going to be
More and more Serious affairs, for
the reason that the business of the
canal is increasing faster than any
body dreamed it would. In less than
eight weeks from its opening almost
100 vessels passed through the ca
nal, paying tolls for the privilege.
In less than seven weeks of its oper-
alton the canal collected $369.OOO of
tolls. This is at rate considerably
above $2,5OO,000 a year. 1t may be
expected, therefore, that
with normal conditions restored in
the world of trade the canal will en-
ter at once upon a career of trade
development which will be no less
astonishing than was the record OF
the Suez Canal after it had been def
nitely established as a practicable I
and economical trade route.
While the commerce of the sea is /
almost at a standstill damages to the |
canal can be repaired.-Commercial
