Would Sulphurize
American Oat Crop
Agricultural Departments Permis.
sion Asked-Would Increase
Value Of Yield.

A fifty million dollar problem is be-
fore the Department OF Agriculture to-
day Grain elevator men have asked
permission to ''sulphurize'' the oat CROP
the biggest in the history Of the coun-
try
The process, 1t Is estimated. would
probably adj cents a bushel to the
value OF the billion and a half bushel
crop. The question with which the
department is wrestling. however, Is
whether the bleaching of the grain
would not conceal certain defects.
The greater part OF the enormous oat
crop, 1t Is explained. is rusty" or af-
fected to such a degree that in many
cases animals have refused to eat the
grain because Of the smell. Sulphur
izing might enable concealment of that
part OF the crop which Is practically
valueless. but It would also make mar
ketable and useful the slightly affected
grain. Decision on the matter will be
given In few weeks.

The yaule Of the barnyard manure
ana green manuing in maintaining
the supply of organic matter in the
soil is not fully appreciated by many
oklahoma farmers. The effect Of
barnyard manure in wheat growing
has been thoroughly demonstrated by
the Oklahoma Agricultural Expert
ment station. In an experiment which
has been running at the station for a
number of years it has been shown
conclusivoly that the manure is one
of the most important and most Valu-
able methods for increasing the soils
producing power for wheat. Not only
have the crops on the manured plots
been much larger In yield, but also
they have been regular and the ef-
iccts Of drouth have not been so
strongly felt Farmers who use barn
yard manure or some other form Of
organic matter for maintaining sup
ply of decaying vegetable matter In
their wheat fields have learned the
true value of manure Some farmers
who formerly burned their straw piles
are now returning many Of their straw
piles to the fields that produce their
wheat crops. That's good sign It's
time, however that more farmers were
making efforts TO restore the vegetable
matter that they have robbed from
their soils by the growing OF wheat
year after year.
