WHY NOT WINTER
OATS IN ARKANSAS
Fall SoWn Oats Yield Better Than
Those Planted In Spring-Sturdier
and Fit In Well With System of Ro-
tation.

Why not fall oats? Two crops of
fall sown oats yield. as much as three
crops of spring sown oats. Fall sown
oats will yield at least so per cent
greater than spring sown oats. The
weight per bushel is greater for fall
sown oats. Fall sown oats work we'll
into the crop rotation, for they may
be followed Immediately after corn,
the oats being followed the next sum-
mer by cowpeas. Fall oats are put in
the ground at a time when the farm
teams are doing practically nothing.
Arkansas must grow larger acreage
of oats and more bushels to the acre.
Fall sown oats will help to do this. i.
Preparation Of Seed Bed.
For the best results, a well pre-
pared seed bed should be had. Where
possible, break the land prior to seed
ing time. Just before seeding time,
disc we'll and smooth with section
harrow. When oats are to follow i'm
mediately after a cultivated crop,
such as corn, the land may be double
disced and then smoothed and har-
rowed well with a section harrow.
The discing and narrowing should be
repeated until the soil is in good, mel
low condition. S.
Treat Seed for Loose Smut. 80.
A good percentage of the oat crop
is destroyed annually by smut. This
may be prevented by using the fol-
lowing mixture and treatment:
1. Mix one pound Zone pint) Of
formaldehyde with forty gallons of
water in large sized barrel.
2. Put bushel or more oats into
bag Ia cheap gunny sack Of very
coarse materially.
8. Dip bag and oats into the solu-
tion and shake up and down until all
oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and
drain. .t.. t.|
4. Allow the oats to remain in the
bag or empty out in heap and leave
for two hours. I...,
5. Spread them out to dry.
6. Machinery and receptacles to be
used in handling the oats first should
be thoroughly cleansed with the solu.
ton.
T. Sow about 10 per cent more per
acre to allow for the swelling.
When to Sow.
For the northern part Of the state
sowing should begin not before the
middle of September In the south
erin part of the state October is pref
erable.
Method Of Sowing.
BY using the drill the seed are
placed in the soil at uniform depth
insuring a good even stand and uni
formity in ripening. Experiment
shows that by using the drill larger
yields are obtained Also, the drill
leaves the plants in a little furrow
thus affording slight protection
against cold and heaving. Use the
drill II possible; otherwise SOW by
hand. '
Rate OF Seeding.
Seed your oats at the rate OF eight
or ten pecks to the acre. Expert
ments conducted by the Arkansas
Experiment Station at Fayetteville
show that these rates give the most
economical yields,
Varieties.
In the northern part of the state
SOW the turf oats, such as Winter
Turf, Virginia Turf, Winter Grey and
Snoma. In other sections the Red
Rust Proof oats are hardy and give
good results, as we'll as the turf oats

was spread before them. What mat

ladies or gossiping boarders, when
she had found the key to her paradise
at last? Perhaps it was graft-per-
haps the girl spoke thoughtlessly.
The next morning very early Miss
Amy went shopping. She told the mil
liner she wanted a brown hat to match
her suit. mo, not toque like she had
on; something younger" and she de-
scribed quite accurately the hat which
the girl had worn to church the after
noon before.
"Ill wear this" she said, "and you
can send the old one home"
Next she went to the nearest drug
store and studied the directory. Yves

AS she left the drug store she spied
florists window, and she stopped
for bouquet of violets. Then again
she hesitated. The crisis of this, her
new life, was at hand. She allowed
three cars to pass, and then with
firmly compressed lips she signaled for
a hanson. At the boarding house ev-
eryone said that in New York one
must keep up appearances. Perhaps
If he thought she could afford to ride
in hansoms he would overlook her
vocal deficiencies.
Albert Weston, worn by his strug-
giles with an Indifferent pupil, was
standing at the window of his studio
when the hanson drew up before the
building and the brown, wrenlike fig
ure stepped cautiously from the We.

the brownstone front.
I'm glad l took the hansom," COM
mented Miss Amy as she mounted the
steps. This was life! An absurd thrill
swept over her and brought delicate
and most becoming blush to her face.
Mr.. Weston studied her curiously,
hands deep in his pockets, when she
asked almost timidly the privilege of
studying with him. Prices, hours, ev-
erything seemed secondary to the fear
that he might not accept her as a
pupil He tried her voice, paced the
room few moments and then said
gravely:
yes, I will take you as a pupil, but
want to be quite frank with you.
You will never be great singer. You
have sweet. harmless, drawingroom
voice, but don't want you to go into
the work with any idea of being a
grand opera singer in time. You have

Again the delicate flush mounted to
her face.

my own pleasure. IL could not study
sooner. 1t is just for the Joy of being
able to sing for myself"
He stopped short in his nervous
walk and looked at her. Such SIMPLE
ity, such humility, such lack of ambi-
ton, almost staggered him.
Perhaps some time-when my voice
is a little stronger-you might, that is,
if it would be quite right, you might

BROUGHT THE JOY
OF EASTER Time
When the Spirit of Youth Came
to the Girl Who Had the
Foolish Thought That
She Was Tired.

EASTER time lay over the land-a
IL time of radiance and music, of birds
and flowers. Hearts beat happily in
tune to the joy of an awakening
spring, and the golden lily-hearts were
reflected in every smile.
1t was Easter time, the time of
youth and brightness and resurrection
hardly the time for WEAKNESS to
visit the girl; but with head bent
toward her he was leaning over her
chair, talking softly, persuasively in
her ear
you're tired" he told her as his
old feet (for WEAKNESS is as old as
the world itself beat a tattoo on the
worn floor. You're bored, you want
something new"
I'm tired" murmured the girl gaz-
ing dreamily into space-for she did
not see WEAKNESS standing before her
TIN bored. want something diff
ferent from this work-a-day world"
WEAKNESS sat down in the chair
and prepared for a comfortable chat.
He had made good beginning and
he meant to improve his time
"You dislike everybody, even the
strangers on the street." he prompted
with a thin-lipped, disagreeable smile.
IT dislike everybody that know"
said the girl with a defiant stamp of
her foot. 81 dislike everybody with
not one exception"
you're doing WELL" he commented
with chuckle. I'm proud of you,
girl. You're tired-you're bored You
dislike everybody with no exception.
Perhaps nobody likes you

body would help me! If were freez-
ing nobody would help me-"
Unpopular girl" said WEAKNESS
happily, looking across the room at
the bright hair and pretty features of
his companion. ITO look at you no
one would imagine it. Your eyes are
blue and your hair isn't gray-it's
young hair. Isn't it sad that your life
should be so tragic?"
1T is sad" Again the girl stamped
her foot. "It's more than sad; it's ter
rible. I guess you'd think so too, if
you were me-" And she started to
cry, head on folded arms, shoulders
shaking convulsively. I'm tired" she
sobbed
Outside the sun glowed over a world
of flowers and springtime. Inside, the
same sun, grown dusty, fell on the
crying girl and the cynical, world-old
figure seated before her.
The door opened softly and breath
of air - cool, bracing air stole in.
The girl, head in arm, did not notice
1t. But WEAKNESS raised his eyes to
the opening door and shifted at the
freshness of the breeze. And as he
gazed a figure came in with brisk,
quick step - the figure of a young
man, 1.-THE, and handsome, and smil-
ing. A white fillet bound his crisp
black hair to his head, and a pair of
white-winged sandals chung to his feet.
WEAKNESS raised himself from his
chair and gazed at the newcomer.
Then he turned his eyes away and
yawned.
You're not wanted here" he said
young man. She's discouraged, and
tired, and bored. She doesn't want
you"
"She does want me-" said the boyish
one, 'but she doesn't realize 1t. I am
