August 5th by his wife.
Mr.. Busbee took three bottles of

FIVE RULES FOR sue
CESS WITH OATS

Land that yields 30 bushels of corn
per acre will ordinarily yield 25 to
50 bushels OF oats, and the labor
ne ecessary to produce and harvest tf @
cats is considerably less. More
over, a legume hay or soil-improving
crop can follow the oat crop. In
other words, rightly handled the oat
crop can be made one of our best
paying crops but as matter Of fact
ir is one of our poorest paying crops
We believe the too common failures
with oats are due to a failure to OBJ
serve the following rules that have
brought success to oat growers wher-
ever they have been fonowed:
/. Always plant in the fall. Thir-
teen years experiments at the Ala
lama Experiment Station showed an
average yield for fall seedlings of
36.1 bushels per acre, against only
16.5 bushels for February seedlings.
a gain of 1876 bushels, or 126 per
cent. September is none too early

usually be satisfactory. If winter
killing is feared use one of the
three-row open-furrow grain drills
advertised in The Progressive Far
mer. Open-furrow seeding is eX-
cellent insurance against winter
killing.
>. Plant a rust-proof variety. The
Texas Red Rust-proof or some OF its
strains, such as Appler. Culbersor
and Bancroft, are the best
3. Treat seed to prevent smut.
Next to rust, smut is one of our
most serious enemies to the oat
crop, and is often responsible for
greatly reduced yields. The treat.
ment is inexpensive and sure: nc
oat grower should neglect it.
4. Plant fair grade OF land, OF
use fertilizers. While oats planted
IN the fall are about as dependable a
crop as We have. it is a mistake n
expect them to do their best on ev.
tremely thin land On such soils an
application of 800 pounds per acre OF
acld phosphate at planting time and
100 pounds OF nitrate OF soda in
March will usually be found profit.

Final statistics of the production of

were mined, valued at $1S4,653.49S. or
an average of $3.50 a ton. That is
slightly higher than tie average value
of 1914. In quantity there was a de-
crease of two per cent from the 1914
production. There were 1852 men
employed in the anthracite mines in

MIDDLEBURY BANK TO INSTALL
NEW STATEMENT MACHINE.

The National Bank of Middebury
will install April lst the Burroughs
combination dger posting and state
ment machine. By the machine method
all the work of recording and figuring
customers accounts is handled on
bookkeeping machine. Checks and de-
posits are entered on the ledgers, and
the necessary addition and subtraction
is done automatically, and with no
chance for error.
The sheet containing the record of ac-
count is placed in the machine and the
old balance printed in the proper
column. Then any checks that have
been drawn are listed and subtracted
automatically from the old balance. If
depositha been made this is printed
in the deposite column, and added and
the new balance is ready to be printed
by simply pressing a key and operating
the machine.
A statement of any account, which is
duplicate of the ledger page, is posted
every day from the origional checks
and deposit slips. This statement is
handed to depositors on or about the
first of the month, and shows all checks
drawn and deposits made, and gives
balance at the end of the month.
This system, then, affords double
protection against any and all errors in
figuring as it is impossible for the
machine to make mistake, and pro-
lection against mistakes of other kinds
by means of the checking back of
statements with the ledger.
By comparing the statement and
ledger sheets each day any mistake
of the bookkeeper in reading an amount
wrong or in charging a check to the
wrong account can be detected.

FIRE IN SHACKETT'S MARKET.

The Middlebury fire department was
kept busy for several hours Saturday
night when it was called to extinguish
two fires in the market of Frank Shack
| ett ir., on Main street. The first alarm
was turned in at about II o'clock by j.
F. Novak, who conducts shoe store in
the same building. The fire started, it
is thought, from stove in the office of
Mr. Shackett's market. The fremen
with the use of chemicals soon had the
fire extinguished. About 12:45 Sunday
morning an alarm was sounded for an
other fire in the same building. The
fire was found to be in box of paper
which had been carried out during the
first fire and returned and which had
been smouldering for several hours.
The blaze was quickly extinguished.
The building is owned by j. w. Law
renee, and the damage is estimated at
5000. The damage to stock is about
S4OO. The damage to both building and
stock is covered by insurance. The
other occupants of the building, Mr..
Novak and the Catholic Order of For
esters, were slightly damaged by smoke.
Mr.. Shackett will conduct his business
temporarily from his residence.
