PREPARE SEEDED FOR OATS
Not Generally Necessary to Pillow
Land Before Sowing Disk Har~
row Ia Recommended.

Oats usually follow a cultivated
crop such ais corn or potatoes; hence
It Is not generally necessary to pillow
the land before sowing. Oats do well
on faIlplowed land. but II the land
has not been plowed in the fall better
yields arc usually produced from
sowing IN seedbed made by disk
ing and narrowing than in one made
by spring blowing. Early seeding for
oats Is very desirable. As good seed
bed can be made much more quickly
with the disk harrow than with the
piow on land that was in a cultivated
crop last year, the saving In time -
an advantage. Two diskings and one
narrowing with the apike.toothed har-
row win put clean land IN good shape
for sowing with the drill.
Oats grow best IN seeded that
has 2 or 3 inches OF loose surface aoil,
but which is Arm below that depth.
This Is another reason why disking 10
10 be preferred to spring blowing, for
there is not time for plowed land to
settle before the seed Is sowH. Still
another reason why the disk Is better
is that field can be plowed. and the
cheaper way OF doing Job should
always be chosen II It gives Just as
good results as the more expensive
way.
