II is Said.
SHANNON GIVES INTERVIEW
Says If People Given Square Deal
Matter Would be Referred to
Them Without Fear.
SHANNON GIVES INTERVIEW

jefferson City, Feb. 9.-Leaders o.
the dry forces in the Senate and
House said Monday that they expect
ed to carry through both houses all
pending antisaioon legislation with
provisions that such bills shall not be
submitted to vote of the people by
a referendum.
The principal measures are those
requiring the closing of saloons at ,
p. m, prohibiting saloons within five
blocks Of any building used for relig-
ious, educational or charitable pur-
poses, and establishing precinct local
option in the larger cities.
To each Of these bills the "drys"
have attached clause providing thar
they are in the Interest of the "imme-
diate preservation of the public peace,
health and safety" and that, there
fore, they are excepted from the re-
ferendum by the Constitution.
Dry Leader Defends Course
Il. A. Shannon of Audrain County,
author of the 8 o'clock closing bill,
and one of the dry leaders of the
House, said that the attempt to pre-
vent referendum of the anti-saloon
measures was due TO the action of the
liquor interests ID the past.
"We are not afraid to submit any
matter to the people if we are given
"a square DEAL" Shannon said, "but
we have not had square deal from
the liquor interests"
"We sincerely believe these meas
ures are in the interest of the public
peace, health and safety, and we be-
lieve that we are right in taking ad-
vantage of the constitutional prov
ision.
ut has been the custom of the
liquor interests to load down the con
stitutional amendment ballot with
S50,0O0,000 bond issue provisions, and
all sorts of other matters obnoxious
to the voters for the sole purpose Of
defeating liquor legislation they op-
posed. They have not been willing 70
submit these matters to a vote on
their merits, and to protect our leg
islation we are forced to take this
means"

TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS ONLY


THE best thing on earth to put q
stop to the illegal sale of liquor in a
county that has the local option law
is to fine few of the offenders pretty
heavily and run them into Jail with a
good rock pile in the Jail yard to give
them exercise beween meals. The
prosecuting attorney who dishes out
that sort Of medicine TO the bootleg
gers will win the appreciation Of his
constituents. It will also have ten

Profits From Oats.

1t is perhaps safe to say that on an
average for the past ten years the
oats crop in Audrain County has not
been a paying crop. For the years
1909, 1910, 1911, 1912 and 1918 the
average yield of oats in the county
has been 25, 28, IL, 25 and IL bu., res
pectively. The average for these five
years therefore has been 20 bu. per
acre. On an average it will cost not
less than $3.50 to produce an acre of
oats. With oats at 80 cents per bu.
it is easy to figure that on an aver
age for these five years at least, there
has not been any money made in
growing oats in Audrain county. And
this figure of $3.50 does not include
the value of fertility removed by the
crop.
Factors Influencing Profit.
Aoluc HUH JDc ScdSOudl COtiulLlUIlS
and fertility of the soil, the principal
factors influencing the profit in oats
growing are the use of the best ad-
apted varieties, thorough cleaning
and grading, thorough prep
aration of seed bed and method of
sowing, the time of seeding, the rate
of seeding, and the use of seed free
from smut.
Varieties For Audrain.
Perhaps the best adapted varieties
for this section are the Kherson, a
little yellow oat, and the well known
Texas Red Rust Proof. In years
when we have a warm wet spring
about the only variety to do any good
is this Texas Red on account of the
fact that it is the only variety SO fai
produced that is comparatively rust
resistant.
Tanning.
The Importance of tanning ant
grading oats has been under estimat
ed by the majority of oats growers
The tendency is to wait until sowing
time then shovel the oats big. little
chaffy and all right from the bin t.
the seeder.
Experiments along this line shov
increases of from to 10 bushels
due to careful grading. This ia
south there is strong tendency 70
oats to run out and this can be pre-
vented to quite an extent by SOWING
only plump, heavy oats. The onl
other way to solve this running ou
problem is to get Northern grow
; seed oats every two or three years
Preparation of Seed Bed.
On an average, an increase of t
bushels per acre will be obtaine
from oats drilled on a well prepare
seed bed over that broadcasted in tn
usual manner. 1t is practically cei
tain, however, that it does not pay I
: plow ground for oats. The plowin
operation is too expensive.

Time and Rate of Seeding.

Oats stool best and grow best
during cool moist weather, SO It
pays to get them in ear
ly. They do not stand the hot dry
weather of midsummer well, hence
another reason for early seeding, and
this is also an added reason for grow
ing the early varieties mentioned. 1t
is not possible to set date for the
sowing of oats on account of the var
liability of the season.
The rate of seeding is not matter
that can be determined definitely for
all soils and conditions alike, but on
our average soil of this county ten
pecks drilled should be about the
proper amount. At least this is the
result Of experiments on this grade
of soil
Treatment For Smut.
Smut is one of the greatest enemies
of the oats plant. 1t affects the head
of the plant, reducing the entire head
to a black mass The pores scatter
over the grain at threshing time, and
when the infected seed is planted
these smut pores develop into the
smut plant and show up about harvest
time. The loss from this source very
often amounts to 25 per cent of the
crop.
The method of treatment is simple
1t is known as the formalin treatment
and consists in moistening the oats
with a formalin solution, as follows
Mix one pound Of 40 per cent for
malin with 40 or so gallons of waite
in barrel. This formalin can b.
procured at any drug store at abou
25c per pound. After you have thor
oughly famed and graded the oats
spread that which you wish to us
for seed out on the floor and sprinkl
them with the solution. Be sure t
get all the oats thoroughly dampeneC
This can be assured by turning tn
oats with a shovel as they are sprink
led. You can treat about one bushe
for every gallon of the solution.
After they have been sprinkleC
|, shovel the oats into pile and cove
, with blanket for a few hours-ove
{ night is usually handy. Then scatte
, the oats out and stir from time
. time until thoroughly dry. The oat
may then be sowed or kept until SOW
0 ing time. Be sure to sprinkle the bi
A with the formalin solution before pu
A ting in treated oats.
e The formalin solution is poisonou
: but diluted as recommended, it wi
o hurt the hands, and after the oa
2 are dry they can be fed with safet
as the formalin evaporates.
