OATS.
OATS. Adapted To a Wide Range of Soi,e.

Adapted To a Wide Range of Soile.
 Ordinarily for grain production the winter oat crop is better adapted over a wider range of soil conditions than wheat. While it is true that winter killing of fallseeded oats was com- mon in many fields over the state, es- pecially in the northern half, the past season. the fact remains that individ- ual farmers in different sections es- caped with low percentage or Win ter killing. In many instances the severe winter-killing of the crop has been due to late seeding and to poor preparation of seed bed.
 Seed Early.
 Winter oats should be seeded early enough in the fall to permit plants to make a good growth of basal foliage before cold weather but not so early as to permit booting to occur The most safe date of seeding will vary from September 25 In northwest Ark ansas. to about November 10 in south. ernmost sections. It is not wise to risk failure through delayed seeding.
 Plant With a Grain Drill.
 Seed should be planted with grain drill since plants seeded in furrow are better protected from win ter killing than those seeded broad cast on the surface. Winter Turf Oats should be seeded at not less than two and ene-half bushels per acre. and the long -hulled strains of Red Rust Proof at not less than three or three and one-half bushels per acre. Broadcast seedlings should be increased at least a half bushel per acre.
 A Good Seed Bed Essential.

MORE SMALL GRAINS SHOULD BE PLANTED
In Order To Grow Such Crops It Is important That Caution Be on-
 served as To Varieties Used.
By L. W. Osborn, Assistant Agrono- mist, University of Arkansas.

An increased acreage of small grains should be planted on all Ark ansas farms this fall simply because the world needs more food and is will ing to pay we'll for it. However, Tn order to grow such crops with safety and profit it is important that eau- tion be observed relative to varieties used and culture given. The adapta- tion of winter oats, wheat and rye for varying conditions should be under stood, and the proper cereal should be chosen for the particular conditions represented.

ed humus-filled soils come through the winter, in severe seasons, much better than oats planted on soils in poor physical condition. A compact seed bed is very important and land should be broken considerably in ad- vance of the time of seeding, or at least carefully rolled before the oats are seeded.
 The Best Varieties.
 Winter Turf and Culberson varie- ties of oats are most resistant to win ter-killing. Both varieties are ordi- narily dependable on we'll drained, fertile soils in the northern half of the state The Red Rust Proof oat and It's different strains-Appler, Cook, Bancroft, Ferguson Fl, and Full ghum, is probably most dependable for grain production in central and southern sections of the state.

To know that each star means a

Come let us count them, there are
just thirteen.
All! what JOY is the dear old rag
To know what those stripes by
their history, mean;
To know Of the trials, when the flint

And the Paul Reveres and the Wash

Founded true freedom for us, their
sons
Full we'll should those stripes give
a thrill, most keen.
How many hearts has the flag? Our
flag.
Legions there are. May they yet
increase.
All! What a JOY is the dear old rag
To the hearts that will hold, both

Those hearts and their hopes shall

For you, Old Glory, till earth shall

can be learned from these occulta-
tons; namely, that the moon has no
atmosphere, for if it did, the disap-
pearance of the star would be grad
ual and not so absolutely sudden.
Among the new consultations for
this month are: Corvus, the Crow
and the long Water Snake, Hydra
with the red star Alphard glowing in
solitary grandeur in field devoid OF
other bright stars; the entire group
of Bootes, with Arcturus, and the
group of Virgo, the Virgin, with the
white first magnitude star Spica, are
we'll above the horizon; Hercules is
group which covers a great area OF
the heavens, but contains no very
bright stars and is altogether incon-
spicuous. 1t contains, however, one
of the most wonderful star clusters in
the entire armament, which is made
up of not less than fifty thousand
stars, each one in Itself glowing
sun of no small size. These stal
clusters differ from nebuIae, which
are made up of finely. divided matter
in a state of incandescenCe and moi
of such separate large bodies. o.
course, many or most of the nebulae
contain gIobular CONVERSATIONS. Be
tween Hercules and Bootes is the
beautiful coronet of stars, the North

EIGHT SIGN UP
SATURDAY NIGHT
RESPOND TO THEIR couNTRYs
CALL AT PATRIOTIC MEETING.
GOVERNOR HARDING SPEAKS
Despite the Raging Storm Outside
Patriotism and Enthusiasm Reign
ed Within the Masonic Opera
" House.

Eight recruits responded to the call
of duty at the big patriotic mass
meeting Saturday evening, at the Ma
sonic Opera House.
Governor w. l.. Harding of Iowa
made a notable address and was heard
by an audience that filed the auditor.
ium but the meeting was devoid any
spectacular features. Any one having
anticipated the sensational was disap-
pointed.
Governor Harding talked in an
earnest vein and said some mighty
good things in business-like, straight
forward fashion. His address was not
of the impassioned character. The
audience was responsive and appre-
ciative and applause was frequent.
Unfavorable weather marked the
day and occasion. Had pleasant
weather prevailed the opera house
would not have held the crowd A
rertiable blizzard ragged out of doors
as the meeting progressed but the elc-
ments did not keep the people away.
All desired to hear what the Governor
of Iowa had to say on the subject.
Old soldiers, the veterans of '60!65
were out in number to honor our state
executive and many ladies were in
the make up Of the house.
The presence of the First Cavalry
Cand of Ottumwa was a feature of the
evenings program that pleased. Some

Invocation was offered by Rev. Alex

loosa, was chairman, presiding officer
of the evening. He told of the pur-
poses of the meeting in few we'll
chosen and pointed statements and
introduced Governor Harding.
Only straight forward, hard facts,
"the evidence in the CASE were pre-
sented by the Governor. He told of
the steps making present day action
necessary and what the situation
means to the nation and its people. 1t
was war, grim and real and therefore
the necessity for action.

Major John C. Bradbury, of Oska-

fantry told of the war measures ami
necessities in plain English. He point.
ed out what might be expected, but
he encouraged enlistment and he ask
ed for volunteers.
Recruiting officers were on duty
near the front and any desiring to
offer their services were asked to
come forward.
Geo. H. Porter was first to respond
to the call and his name headed the
opera house list. Following the dis
