Never Before Was Need of
!, UGH Practice So Great or
So Plainly Evident.
OATS ARE URGED
AS WINTER CROP
conference at Memphis of Agricul-
) fural Workers of South Unani-
mously Agree As To Kind OF
Seed and Manner of Sowing

Never in the history Of the cotton
growing states was there greater
necessity for the production of ample
feed crops than during the coming
year, especially in the boil weevil in
tested districts, is the opinion OF the
agricultural forces of Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee. Representa-
tives Of the agricultural forces OF
these states in session with the Tri-
State Farming Committee at Memphis
on September 80 agreed unanimously
that winter oats were OF sufficient
merit to justify their recommends
ton, especially in all boil weevil in
tested districts and also in every Sec
ton of the states concerned.
Winter oats are recommended be-
cause they will produce an abundance
of feed which, coming in the midst
Of the crop producing season, will ma
terially reduce the, expense for feed
stuffs, says w. G. Lassetter, assistant
director, University extension divis-
ion. Oats come on at the time when
most corn cribs are about empty.
Oats under those conditions save an
enormous expense that would be in
CURED in the buying of feed.
AS a general rule. winter oats is a
very safe crop. The past winter,
which proved SO fatal to oats in many
sections. was an exception TO the
rule. The Arkansas experiment sta
ton, even as far north as Fayette-
willie, has produced good winter oats
every year Of the past ten years. Far
mers Of Benton county have produced
good winter oats every year for the
past several years. why can't others
in more favored sections of the state
produce just as good winter oats?
The mistakes that lead to winter
killing must be avoided. 1t is a we'll
established fact that oats seeded
after the first Of November in south
ern Arkansas, or after the twentieth
Of october in northern Arkansas, are
more likely to winter kill than it
seeded earlier. 1t is also well-es-
tahlished fact that the usual method
of scattering oats on the land and
then blowing them in is a splendid
way to lose a stand. 1t is likewise
true that some varieties of oats do not
--d the winter as we'll as others.
Mistakes Of this kind must be avoid
ed if we are to have good oats, and
it is now a well-established fact that
good winter oats can be produced in
