Early Oats Are Best

THEY OUT WELD THE LATE VARIETIES IN EVERY TEST
That early oats excel the later variety, both as to
yield and as to quality, is the conclusion arrived at
as the result of experiments carried on by tne eX-
tension department of Iowa State college and the
Community Improvement association of New Provl-
dence. /,
All the varieties of earlier oats ripened earlier,
yielded higher and tested better than the later
between the yield per acre of the best of the early
variety and the best yield of the late variety. Inc
early kinds stood up well when cut, while the iater
varieties were badly lodged. The field on OF, when these
oats were sown was seeded to clover. When the crop
was cut early there was an excellent stand OF grass,
but where the oats remained longer on the ground
and were badly lodged there was a very poor stand
of clover.

years. The continual use had worn
away the tough sod to a depth Of sew
eral inches and a width of perhaps only
one foot, over a length of many miles.
Along these trails were camping places,
where game was plentiful, Or where
nuts and berries or other supplies were
easily obtained. In these camps great
activity was evident, as the tribe men
brought in game and fur animals. The
women prepared the meat by a quick
drying process called 'gerting" for flu
ture use. They also cured the skins for
the fur markets, at the Indian agency
