A BETTER DAT CROP
FOR NEXT YEAR
University of Missouri Bulletin Sug-
gests Means That May Get
Better Yield.

Was your oat crop satisfactory this
year? Or was it so poor that you
are thinking of not planting it again?
The oat crop has yielded so little in
the past few years in Missouri that
farmers in the state are beginning to
abandon its cultivation. But the place
of oats as a food for horses and
young stock and as a factor in rota-
ton is still important enough to JUS
tify its production in the opinion Of
the Experiment Station of the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Missouri.
The factors which determine the
profitable growing of oats in this
state, says a bulletin, "FactOrs In
uencing the Yield of Oats" are the
use of the best adapted varieties,
tanning Of seed to prevent running
out, better preparation of ground,
drilling instead of ~broadcasting, early
seeding and the prevention Of the
smut by the formalin treatment.
The bes. varieties are: White-Si-
berian, Wide Awake, %Sivermine, Greas
Dakota; Black-Jeanette, Martins
burg, Nichols Black Comet, Victor;
Red-Texas Red Rust Proof; Yellow
-Kherson.
A better yield is gotten from heavy
seeds, and these may be obtained
from the homegrown varieties by
tanning them heavily saving only the
large, plump grains for seed.
In preparing the ground, since oats
generally follow corn, u good double
disking is sufficient, especially if the
seed is then put in with the disk
drill instead Of broadcasting and har-
rowing.
The time of seeding should be early
in the season because the oat plant
makes its best growth and stools best
during cool, moist weather. The rate
Of seeding is also important. 1t va
ries with the soil and size of the seed
but ten pecks per acre is usually rec
commended.
Smut and rust are the two greatest
enemies of oats. Smut may be sue
cessfully controlled by the formalin
treatment, and the Texas Red Rust
Proof variety has so far proven itself
the best check for rust.

AMERICANS TAKE
TOO MUCH MEDICINE
Missouri University Physician Ad-
vises Against Indiscriminate and
Excessive Drug Taking.

The people of the United States
take an enormous amount Of medicine
unnecessarily, says DR.. M. P. Raven
ell of the department of preventive
medicine Of the University Of Mis-
sour. The patent medicine manufac-
tured in this country are valued at
more than Sal, OOOO, 10000 annually,
and we import almost $500, 900, 900
worth Of drugs and medicines a year.
1t is impossible that this much medi-
cine is needed in the country. A large
amount of it is taken without the ad-
vice Of a physician, and without any
clear diagnosis having been made as
to illness. 1t stands to reason that
any drug that is strong enough to
produce marked effects of a curative
nature must produce bad effects ON
the body when taken in large doses
or over a long period Of time.
This dependence on drugs is ira
tional. Drugs are powerful, and
should be taken only on the advice
OF those who have made a study Of
their uses and actions. Under such
conditions a much smaller quantity
of drugs would be taken because all
physicians realize that drugs cannot
cure most diseases, however useful
they may be in alleviating symptoms
and in assisting nature to the desired
end.
Especially to be avoided are those
medicines containing alcohol, opium
or other habit-forming drugs. We are
using less of these than We were a
few years ago, but we are still using
more than we should.
In some states every remedy sold
for the treatment of live stock must
have on its label the name of each
active drug in it. Also the term Give
stock remedy" is not allowed to in
clude patent medicine primarily de-
signed for human beings but some
times used for animals. Therefore if
the farmer wishes to give medicine to
his pigs with saftey he must be care
ful to do so with a remedy put out for
pigs and not for his baby, because in
this case there is no requirement
that the active ingredients be put on
the label. Is it not curious that we
take better care Of our animals than
we do Of our children7

Railroad Avenue will connect the
city with the parish model road and
will supply continuous model road
way for the trade territory lying
east into the city. A number of large
factories and business concerns are
located along the east end of Rail-
road Avenue and the parish road and
the completion of the strip will be Of
vast benefit to the many business
men and employees who daily pass
over this route. The heavy rain of
recent date has again demonstrated
to the public that the Mayor and
Council have acted wisely and well
in selecting this bit of roadway as
next municipal improvement to re-
ceive their attention. These city Off
Gals show that they are keeping in
mind the interests Of the city and
that they are meeting the many
problems that confront them in the
way that they judge to be the best.
Probably there is no other roadway
in the city which is SO generally ira

pay its cost to the citizens more
quickly than any other road to be
built.
