WHY NOT WINTER
 OATS IN ARKANSAS
Fall SoWn Oats Yield Better Than Those Planted in Spring-Sturdier and Fit in Well With System of Ro- tation.

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 50 per cent greater than spring sown oats. The weight per bushel is greater for fall sown oats. Fall sown oats work well into the 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 a time when the farm teams are doing practically nothing Arkansas must grow a larger acreage of oats and more bushels to the acre Fall 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 a section harrow. When oats are to follow i'm mediately after cultivated crop, such as corn. the land may be double disced and then smoothed and har- rowed well with a section harrow. The discing and narrowing should be repeated until the soil is in good, mel low condition
 Treat Seed for Loose Smut w A good percentage of the oat crop is destroyed annually by smut. This may be prevented by using the fol- lowing mixture and treatment:
 l. Mix one pound Gone pinD of formaldehyde with forty gallons of water in a large sized barrel.
 2 Put a bushel or more oats into 8 bag Ca cheap gunny sack of very coarse materiaD.
 3. Dip bag and oats into the solu- tion and shake up and down until all oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and drain.
 f. Allow the oats to remain in the bag or empty out in heap and leave for two hours.
 g. Spread them out to dry.
 G. Machinery and receptacles to be used in handling the oats first should be thoroughly cleansed with the solu- ton.
 '. 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 erable.
 Method of Sowing
 By using the drill, the seed are placed in the soil at a uniform depth, insuring a 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 if possible; otherwise SOW by hand.
 Rate of Seeding.
 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 SOW the turf oats, such as Winter Turf, Virginia Turf. Winter Grey and Snoma. In other sections the Red Rust Proof oats are, hardy and give good results, as well as the turf oats M. S. Baker Assistant Agronomist. College of Agriculture and Experiment Station, Fayetteville

Another species was the monkey

and feathcred feet. II would dart
down from the air and seize an un-
