before being offered to you for seed are
guaranteed by the grower to be free from
kale or mustard and will be sold subject
to your approval. A list of seed growers
and the price per bushel will be furnished

three and are as follows: l. To carry
demonstration work with those men who
wish to become demonstrators. 2. To
answer the Big Need of the county; the
production of more of our costly feeds.
3. To introduce a higher yielding oat
than is commonly used by our farmers.
The average yield of oats in this State
being below 40 bushels per acre.

become demonstrator should write A.

his name be. placed on the list, of Com

will be scarce this spring so if you wish
to become a demonstrator send your
name in at ONCE.

COMPARATIVE OATS DEMON.
STRAT|0N IN KENNEBEC COUNTY

! The following was made public yester-
day by A. l.. Deering, in charge Of the
extension work in kennebec county for
| the College of Agriculture at Orono:
DEMONSTRATION WORK: For the
past four years the Extension Division
Of the College of Agriculture has had
representative working with and as
sisting the farmers of kennebec County.
This County Extension Representative
has been carrying on work known as
Economic Production Demonstrations.
Because of the increasing demand for
demonstrations a new type of work is be-
| ing introduced for the benefit of anyone
and everyone who wishes to become a
demonstrator.
COMPARATIVE DEMONSTRATIONS
This new type of demonstration is to
be known as a Comparative Demonstra-
ton and in this county will be COMPARE
son in yield Of improved oat seed over
the oats ordinarily grown. All other con-
ditions as soil, fertilizer, preparation,
time of sowing seed, etc, must be ex-
actly the same on the plot where the i'm
proved oat seed is used as on the plot
where the ordinary seed is sown. The
difference in yield will then be COM
parison of the two oats as yielders.
YIELDS OBTAINED FROM DAT
DEMONSTRATIONS variety OF cat
seed used in this State for demonstration
purposes in 1914 averaged 63.4 bushels
per acre. These demonstrations were
scattered through several counties and
under all different kinds of soil and eli
matte conditions. On the whole these
demonstrations were under good practi-
cal farm conditions. They were one or
more acres in size. Eight demonstrations
yielded 60 bushels or over; six demonstra-
tions Yielded 10 bushels or over: two
demonstrations yielded 50 bushels or over.
The highest yield was $751; bushels per
acre received from a three acre demon
stration The figures for 1915 will average
nearly as high.
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEMONSTRA-
TORS-To become a demonstration 1t is
necessary for the farmer to observe these
conditions: l. Buy sufficient seed of
variety recommended to SOW one acre.
2 Sow in comparison with the oats
usually grown. All methods used in
growing both fields Of oats must be alike,
as preparation Of ground. fertilizer or
manure used, rate and time Of seeding,
ETC. 8. At harvesting time keep the oats
of the two varieties separate. 4. Report
the difference in cost and yield on blanks
furnished
HOW THE COUNTY AGENT WILL
ASSIST YOU-The County Agent will:
l. Furnish each demonstration with a list
of men who state that they have clean
seed oats OF the variety recommended.
g Visit the demonstrator at least once
during the growing season to inspect his
oats and measure the field improved and
ordinary oats. 3. Furnish the blanks for
reporting the results of the demonstration.
L. Supply each demonstration with copy
Of the results Of the demonstrations.
s. Supply each demonstration with the
best cultural methods for growing oats.
SEED OATS Recommendation
