GROWING WINTER OATS
Reduces Feed Bill and Prevents
Washing of the Soil.
Variety Most Commonly Used In
South Is Red Rustproof-Winter
Turf ls Hardy and Valuable
for Pasture or for Hay.

Every southern farmer should grow
enough oats to feed his work stock
during at least portion of the year.
In addition to furnishing feed grain
at less cost than it can be purchased,
fall-sown 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 OBJ
tanned. According to specialists Of
the department, oats sown in the
southern 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 crop Of cotton, corn,
or cowpeas the past summer. If this
land has not already been plowed, it
will be better to make the surface
soil fine and loose with the disk or
drag harrow than to delay seeding by
plowing now. Better results are OBJ
tanned from sowing with the drill
than from broadcast seeding, though
If drill is not available sowing the
seed broadcast on well-prepared land
usually results in a good stand. If
the preceding crop was we'll fertilized,
100 to 200 pounds Of acid phosphate
fall, though little nitrate Of soda
will help the fall growth, especially If
the soil Is not already well supplied
with nitrogen from the growing OF
cowpcas or some other lcgume A
top dressing Of 80 to 100 pounds OF
nitrate of soda applied when growth
starts in the spring will greatly in
crease the yield.
The variety Of winter oats most
commonly grown in the South is Red
Rustproof. Appler. Lawson, Hundred
tions or strains of Red Rustproof
which are said to be particularly val
liable in some localities. The Full
ghum Is promising new variety
which natures week or ten
days earlier than the Red Rust
proof, and usually produces as
much or more grain. AS the kernels
Of all these varieties are large, from
two and onchalf to three and one.half
bushels should be sown to the acre.
The smaller quantity is sufficient IL
the seed is drilled early on well-pre-
pared land, while three bushels or
more are needed when the seed Is
sown broadcast late in the season.
The Winter Turf or Virginia Gray is
very hardy variety, which Is valu-
able for pasture or hay production,
but which does not yield as much
grain in the southern states as the
Red Rustproof. On account Of the
small size OF the kernels. only one and
one-half bushels Of seed of this va
riety are required

WAS NOT A SEA SERPENT
American Museum Gets Picture Of
Harmless Shark, Mistaken
for a Monster

Stories Of persons having sighted
sea serpents and other monsters Of
the deep reach the officials Of the
American Museum Of Natural History
frequently, most of them coming in
the form Of letters during the sum.
mer months, when persons more ia.
miliar with business Offices or their
homes than with the inhabitants Of
the sea are attracted to the resorts
Most Of the letters are based on
hearsay evidence, and so it was with
some surprise that Dr. +. A. Lucas
the director of the museum, read in
one Of the letters that an actual pho.
tograph Of the sea serpent whose ac-
tions were described was being for
warded under separate cover. He
awaited the arrival Of the photograph
eagerly. The letter which preceded IL
said that the sea serpent had made
it's appearance at the eastern end Of
Long island and that it had whipped
and churncd the water near the spot
at which it appeared for nearly an
hour
Occasionally its huge tail could be
seen above the water; at other times
two or three sections of its writhing,
dark body could be seen at once. One
OF the spectators who had fed to the
shore from small boat procured a
kodak and snapped the monster as
conclusive evidence that sea scrpents
did exist.
The photograph arrived in the next
days mail, however, and Doctor Lu.
cas- found it to be not a sea serpent
shark, a species which, It is said, is
more afraid OF man than man is OF it,
It's name is derived from the manner
In which it thrashcs about in the wa.

Until weaving time in addition to

it access to box containing mix

parts, and oil meal, one-half part
After weaving, there is no better place

with light grain ration and the colt

How shall store my onions so

The above question is one that ia
frequently asked by the farmers Of
the country. The following sugges.
tions. If carried out, will greatly help
In solving the problem:
Do not allow the onions to remain
In the ground after they are mature,
but dig them when from 80 to 80 per
cent Of the tops die and fall over.
Three or four rows may be piled to-
gether In windrows as they are dug
and allowed to remain in this way un-
TIL the tops are dry, which will re.
quire several days, owing to the de.
gree Of sunshine. 1t may be neces.
sary to turn the onions over at inter-
walls Of two days until they are thor
oughly dry. Do not allow white onions
to remain In the sun until they turn
green
AS soon as properly cured In the
field, place the onions in bags and
carry to the storage house. The stor-
age house should be we'll ventilated,
especially until the bulbs are thor
oughly dry. If only a few bushels are
to be stored, it Is a good idea to

OF the regular onirn storage ho"ses

be sure the bulbs are all cured before

TAKE CARE OF FARM MANURE
Every Reasonable Precaution Should
Be Taken to Prevent Loss of
FertiIizing Qualities.

Unless barnyard and stable manureg
are well cared for, great part OF
their value Is lost to the farmer.
Many farmers allow practically all
the liquid manure to go to waste. yet
liquid manure contains more fertiliz.
ing value than solid manure, and
every reasonable precaution should
be taken to prevent it's loss The loss
from teaching is large and can be pre-.
vented by the use OF good floors and
by keeping the stock well bedded.
Fermentation Is another source of
loss. 1t cannot be wholly prevented,
but can be held in check by keeping
the manure moist and compact.
