WHY NOT WINTER
OATS IN ARKANSAS
Fall sown Oats Yield Better Than
Those Planted In Sprlng-Sturd'er
and Fit In Well With System OF 10
tatlon.

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 well
into tho 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 time when the farm
teams are doing practically nothing.
Arkansas must grow larger acreage
Of oats and more bushels to the acre.
Fail sown oats will help to do this.
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 well and smooth with section
harrow. When oats are to follow inn
mediately after cultivated crop,
such as corn, the land may be double
disced and then smoothed and har-
rowed well with section harrow.
The discing and narrowing should be
repeated until the soil is in good, mel
low condition.
Treat Seed for Loose Smut. 49,.
A good percentage of the oat crop
| is destroyed annually by smut. This
may be prevented by using the fol-
lowing mixture and treatment:
/. Mix one pound Zone pint) OF
formaldehyde with forty gallons OF
water In large sized barrel.
2. Put bushel or more oats into
q bag "a cheap gunny sack of very
coarse materially.
8. Dip bag and oats into the solu-
ton and shake UP and down until all
oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and
drain.
| 4. Allow the oats to remain in the
bag or empty out in heap and leave
for two hours.
S. Spread them out to dry.
8. Machinery and receptacles to be
used in handling the oats first should
be thoroughly cleansed with the solu-
ton.
Z. 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
cradle.
Method of Sowing.
BY using the drill, the seed are
placed in the soil at uniform depth,
insuring 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 little furrow,
thus affording slight protection
against cold and heaving. Use the
drill II possible; otherwise SOW by
hand.
Rate OF Seeding.
i 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

Crack italian Troops.

The Bersaglieri is for the most part
composed of men of much better So
cial standing than the rank and file OF
the Italian army, and they claim. with
considerable justice, descent from the
famous army of some 10000 men that,
under Charles Albert, confronted the
armed might of Austria In 1848, and
formed the backbone of the Italian
army in the Crimea six years later.
Here 1t attracted general admiration
from it's excellence OF organization,
equipment and discipline. Thus 1t will
be seen that the Bersaglieri Is at
once unique in its establishment and
its training.

noon. BY A o'clock the water
was up above the peoples waists
and by night, to their necks. ex-
press wagons brought the crowds
to the depot, the wind blew the
horses around and it would take
two and three strong men to
lead them. Wagons full of wo-
men and children, mothers with
tiny infants in their arms,
screaming for help.

night of horror l knew in reason

The storm did not abate with
the morning, as we had expect
ed, but rained in torrents and
the wind blew all day Tuesday
and all night Tuesday night, but
the storm at sea had spent its
force and the waters had gone
down considerably, they were up
almost to the second floor Of the
station Monday night.
We had very little to eat and
very little to drink. 1t was truly
water, water everywhere, and
not a drop to drink.
The station we were in had
housed about six thousand people
Monday and Monday night, three
thousand of them negroes.
Talk about town being a
wreck-it reminded me of poor
old Brinkley after the cyclone
only so much more of it. Idon't
believe there was a business
house in Galveston that was not
a total wreck. The hotels were
soaking wet. / don't see how
Galveston will ever have the
heart to rebuild. Down on the
beach the wreckage was terrible,
one two story house was sunk to
the second story, houses were
blown all to pieces. the bath
houses were blown completely
away, two massive monuments
on the water front at the foot of
fremont Street were blown
sixty feet, the concrete walks
were washed up and great blocks
of concrete were washed blocks
away and one ship was blown
over the sea wall. 1t was devas-
tation everywhere. The Galvez
Hotel had most of the roof
blown out, window lights blown
out and of course the water had
flooded the basement and first
story. Its beautiful lawn was a
ruin.
We went out to find way to
get home. The ships were 60

afraid to venture out. Return

LONDON, May 15.-The British

The London newspapers today

declaring that Germany's refusal
