Save Winter Oats For Seed

Washington, D. G., June 20 Farm
ers in the South who have winter
oats of good quality are urged to
save them for seed rather than to
feed them. This crop winterkilled
very generally ever the South last
winter, and specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture say
the indications are that the seed sup
ply will be very short. Many coun-
ties in the Southeastern States will
have to purchase all their seed from
other localities, and those favored
sections where a partial or full crop
was produced should save every avail
able bushel to meet this demand
Farmers are urged to feed corn or
other grain to work stock or to pur-
chase northern-grown spring oats for
feeding in order to save the winter
oats for sowing.
Because Of the scarcity of winter
oats of good quality those who have
them are quite sure to profit by saw
ing them for seed rather than feed
ing them. Farmers who do not know
where they can sell oats should COM
mqnicate with their comfy agent,
the director of their STATE o. pertinent
station, or R. A. Oakley, Chairman,
Committee on Seed ,cks, Washing
ton. Present indications are that
there will be ready market for all
good seed of this crop this year.

u
Easy Way to Find Out Whether
the Soil on Your Farm
Needs Lime
TRY OUT A SMALL PATCH
II the Soil Needs Lime, Then Lime
Must Be Applied or the Farmer
Loses Money on Every Crop Grown
Legumes Need Sweet Soil.

II you want to find out whether lime
is OF use to the soil on your farm try
this: put some ON a clover or alfalfa
patch. Use two tons of ground lime.
stone rock to the acre just a few
weeks before seeding the clover or the
alfalfa. Watch the crop for the an.
swer.
II the growth Of the clover or alfalfa
is stimulated and heavier cutting So
cured, the land probably needs lime.
Even II the lime should improve only
the clover crop directly, the soil would
be improved and the subsequent crops
made better. But most other crops will
be improved directly, also.
All legumes contain considerable
lime, and the clovers and alfalfa, In
particular, require q neutral or aka.
line soil for the best development of
the bacteria which assist the plant in
securing nitrogen from the air
1t is possible that poor success with
red clover or alfalfa may be due to
other causes as we'll as to lack of lime.
Such failures which can not be ex-
planned on the ground of unfavorable
season, lack of the proper plant food
and crop rotation, or poor water-hold-
ing capacity of the soil, clearly indi.
cate that the soil is acid.
The presence of red sorrel in clo-
yer field is another indication that the
soil has an acid tendency. Lining,
however, will not necessarily exter-
inmate sorrel II there is poor stand
of clover. The absence of sorrel on
most lined lands shows that the extra
growth of clover due to the lining,
has crowded out the sorrel.
The litmus method of testing soils
for acidity is fairly reliable. Acid
turns blue litmus paper red. Place
piece of litmus paper between two
shallow sheets of filter paper Break
open moist clod Of earth and place
the paper between and press the pieces
of the clod together. After few min.
utes examine the litmus paper. II it
has turned pink or red, the soil is acid;
If the paper remains blush, the soil is
neutral. Care should be taken In
handling litmus paper Take hold of
the end of the strip of litmus paper
with dry hands.
Litmus paper and filter paper may be
obtained from most any drug store

ward plan: That is. the delegates are
