GROWING WINTER OATS
Reduces Feed Bill and Prevents
Washing Of the Soil.
Variety Most Commonly Used In
south 10 Red Rustproof-Winter
Turf Is Hardy and Valuable
for Pasture or for Hay.

Eyer 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 IL 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. II this
land has not already been plowed. 1t
will be better to make the surface
soil fine and loose with the disk or
drag harrow than to delay seeding by
blowing 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. II
the preceding crop was well fertllized,
100 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate
will be all that the oats require this
fall, though a little nitrate of soda
will help the fall growth, especially IL
the soil is not already well supplied
with nitrogen from the growing of
cowpeas or some other legume. A
top dressing of so 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
Bushel. Bancroft and Cook are selec-
lions or strains of Red Rustproof
which are said to be particularly val
liable in some localities. The Full.
ghum is a promising new variety
which natures a 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 one-half to three and one-half
bushels should be sown to the acre
The smaller quantity Is sufficient ii
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
a 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.

TOWN PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA
Antlpodeans Show Wise Interest In
Subject and Profit by Experience
of Older Countries.

| Australians are showing a wise in
terest in the subject of town planning
and housing in general. The trouble
with older countries has been that
they have not begun to think much
about improving housing conditions
until housing conditions have got to
be insufferably bad. Australia, being
young country, should be able to
profit by the unfortunate example of
other countries, and it is apparent that
Australia is striving to do this.
Building, an Australian publication,
devotes much space to this subject. AL
luding. for example. to the direction of
the movement in Victoria by the Town
Planning and Parks association, these
enthusiastic and energetic. THE flow
Of active campaigning established" it
appears, threatens altogether to
swamp the slum and its welded evils
beyond the hope Of re-establishment.
"The association, very sensibly, Is
enlisting the sympathy and support of
the masses by alert regard for their
well being. The essentials of the move
ment bear directly on the existence of
that section of the people whom cir
cumstances have handicapped. This the
association recognizes. Settled evils
which primarily deny the common her.
itage of sunlight are being squelched.
Conditions of living scarcely BETTING
the brute creation but to which human
flesh and blood are subjected, are be-
ing swept way as speedily as the pom
derous arm of the law can be operated.
In brief, the movement in Victoria, d.
rected by the Town Planning and
Parks association. is making good.
"The association is making a special
point of making plain the principles of
town planning to those in the position
of facilitating reform. For instance,
the mayors and councillors of the mu-
inequalities and shires were recently
circularized on the new and extensive
powers conferred upon local governing
bodies, by recent amendments Of the
act. A portion of that circular reads:
"Tt Is hoped that advantage will be
taken at once of these powers-ap-
piled, perhaps. In conjunction with
building regulations to avoid the crea-
ton of slum or insanitary areas. In
this connection st. Kilda council has
recently passed bylaw providing for
minimum area, devoted exclusively
to open space, for each dwelling equal
to at least eight-eighteenths Of that
occupied by dwelling and outhouses.''

area. All the navies in the wortd
could float on its surface, and its
safety against attack may be judged
from the fact that the only entrance
to it is through a narrow neck three
miles long and hardly more than wide
enough to allow vessels to pass
through.
The naval station occupies square
mile of land, and is one of the most
completely equipped in the world. 1t
is provided with first-class ship-ro-
pairing outfit, including the largest
dry dock in the world, and has a
coaling plant that cost nearly $1,000
600, with magazine for naval am
munition that tapped Uncle Sans
pocketbook for 100000. There are
five tanks for fuel oil, four of them
containing 100000 gallons each, and
one with capacity Of 100000 gal
lons-such provision being necessary
in view of the fact that our newest
dreadnaughts burn oil fuel.
Such Notifications, SO manned, with
a strong navy, will afford San Fran
cisco even more protection than guns
mounted about the Golden Gate.

The average farmer has not learned
the fact that to attain the weight of a
ton at four years a draft colt must
make an average daily gain of about
one and quarter pound from the
time 1t is born. Many colts that at
weaving time give promise of develop
ing into good drafters never become
more than 1900 to 1.500-pound horses,
largely due to the fact that they were
not properly fed. In the management
of the draft colt it is better not to let
the colt follow the mare while she is
at work, but to keep the colt to box
stall, making sure that there are no
loose boards or open places In the
walls In which the colt might injure
itself, and it is we'll to handle the colt
from birth and get it accustomed to
