Beginning early in the year and con-
tinuing until late in the fall tomatoes

United States which appears on the
market through longer season than
does the tomato.
II is claimed by men high in authori-
ty that of all the cereals, oats are the
ones best adapted for horse feed. Their
place can hardly be filed in raising

barley may be, TO some extent, substi-
tuted. and in value for work horses
corn approximates oats.
The diversificstion of crops is not only
of great importance to the general
farming interests, Secretary Huoston, of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, believes, but has proven great
factor in the betterment of the cotton
situation in the South.
