SPRING OATS Is
 ALWAYS SAFE CROP
it is Easy te Get Started and Ma tures at a Convenient Time
 of the Year.
By L. w. Osborn, Experiment Station University of
 Arkansas.

Cats seeded in the spring or late winter have always been popular with farmers in oat growing sections of the State. This crop natures at very convenient time when the supply Of feed from the preceding year is get ting low. The crop always can be de pended upon to yield at least fair re- turns at an opportune time. Further more, the crop is comparatively easy So get started, and the work can be done at time of year when nothing else is pressing.
 The value returned per acre is not Rs high in case of oats as with some other crops. Still when the low cost of production is considered, as well as the fact that the crop is removed from the land in plenty of time for a crop of cowpeas, soybeans, peanuts, or oth- CT summer growing crops, the value as high enough to make the oat crop profitable.
 Spring seeded oats, compared with winter oats, do not, as rule, yield as much grain nor as good quality of grain, and usually the growth of straw as less. On the other hand, oats seed. ed in the spring or late winter are not damaged by winter killing and are more certain to give a return on field where winter oats are likely to suffer. On poorly drained soils and on fields subject to overflow, spring ,eAts should therefore be given prefer eace.
 Preparation Of Land.
 Though the oat crop in general will stand considerable rough treatment, there Is no question but that the crop will respond to good cultural msthods and return a profit according 1T. 4 fairly deep and compact seed

 Harvestlnu.

The greatest value per acre can usually be obtained when the crop is cut and used for hay.
 If the crop is cut just as the heads begin to turn, the greatest value will be realized, since the straw Is green at that time and the whole plant ia very palatable and makes high qual ity of feed.

Vermont Not a Stacker State.

With nearly two thousand men enlist.
ed in the National Guard and 205 vol.
unteers in the regular army, Vermont
cannot be considered at the bottom of
the list, by any manner of means. The
showing in proportion to population. is
probably as creditable as that of any
other state. Addison county seems to be
prominently the Stacker of all counties
in the state, with the measly showing of
only 2S National Guard members and -
in the regular army. Bennington coun-
ty, in proportion to population, gives
hardly any better account of itselg, with
81 in the National Guard and 10 in the
regular army. Chittenden county seems
to take the lead, with 3ls in the Ma
tional Guard and SO in the regular army,
with Washington county a close second,
with 1926 and rs, respectively. In Rut-
land county there are credited 206 en-
listments in the National Guard and 80
volunteers in the regular army. OF all
these figures there will be taken due &C.

Russia Will Fight.

Mai Gen. Hugh L. Scott announces
that "the Russian army is going to
fight" In that brief phrase he tells
Americans precisely what they wish to
know in the whole Russian situation.
1t is great news, gathered at the right
time by a man in whose observations
past experience justifies reliance.
The question arose, in particular, after
the Galician attack of last week. wheth-
er Russian troops were really in fighting
shape, or whether the rush at the Teu
ton lines was merely desperate squirt of
broken forces. General Scott went to
Tarnopol and watched the attack at
point near that city with his own eyes.
He was looking for signs OF loathness
among the men, for delays, disorder, the
reckless sacrifice of troops, careless firing,
or any token that the army might be
disintegrating; He found the attacking
infantry eager in spirit, we'll under con-
troll, prompt and united in their advance,
we'll aided by their artillery, rapid in
surmounting the obstacles before them
and comparatively little cut up by casu-
alties.
In considering this picture of the Rus
slams, we must make allowance, as the
informant no doubt intended, for GER
tain things that he does not say. He
could hardly have viewed the going into
action of so much as division at one
time. Accordingly his field of vision was
but speck in the interminable fighting
line that trsverses Russia. He may have
seen troops that behaved much better
than the average; such would be select |
ed for the attack so far as possible and |
for views by a visiting general. Nor
ioes he tell to what extent the units !
had been reduced by assertions, casual
ties or failure to maintain quotas. As
% the equipment and skill of the infan-
nv. he leaves undenied the old stories
hat many of the men lacked guns or
,ould not use them. He speaks of the

ARTESIAN WATER.
IN Arid Arizona Valley Described in
Geological Survey Report.

IN Arid Arizona Valley Described In
Geological Survey Report.
Perhaps no part Of the arid southwest
has attracted more general attention in
recent years than San Simon valley, in
southwestern Arizona and adjacent parts
OF New Mexico, in which a new epoch Of
agricultural development was started in
1910 by the discovery of artesian wat
er
In or near this valley have been found
fragments OF pottery, stone implements,
wis and needles of antelope and turkey
bone, ancient irrigation bitches, prehis-
toric ruins containing corn, beans, and
native corn, and cleared tracts which
may have been used for the cultivation
of aboriginal crops. This region was evil
IDENTIFY once inhabited by more or less
stdentary peoples, who must have sup
ported themselves partly by hunting and
partly by primitive agriculture.
Civilized occupation of the region did
not begin until the sixties OF the last
century, when a colony of Mexicans set
american cattlemen first grazed their
herds in San Simon valley about 1867.
Overgrading and erosion have so de-
vastated the valley in recent years that
small number OF cattle. Since the dis
GoNery of artesian water, in 1910, there
has been a rapid influx of settlers and
many wells have been drilled. Aside
from grazing, the types of agriculture
now practiced or proposed within San
Simon valley are irrigation farming by |
surface water or by water from arte- |
sian wells, dry farming, dry farming sup |
p,emented by irrigation with food water
and pumped water. and dry farming sup
plemented by the use of the adjacent |
range for grazing.
A careful and thorough study of the
artesian and other ground waters of the
valley has recently been completed by
the United States geological survey and
The Arizona agricultural experiment sta
ticn. This study was made in order to
furnish reliable information to numer-
Gus inquirers from all parts of the Unit
ID States and to give all possible help |
% the settlers in conserving the water
supply and in utilizing it most effec-
lively.
1 he total number of flowing wells in
ne vicinity of San Simon in 1915 was
q. The flow of these wells ranged
rom less than gallon to about 300
ailons minute, and the average flow
rom ll6 wells measured in 1915 was
2 gallons a minute. The combined
ield of the l27 wells, if they flowed
would be about Is sec
ndfeet, or 600 gallons minute. Com
ARSON OF the flows of IL wells meas
rcd in 1913 and 1915 shows that in two
ears the aggregate yield OF these wells
IS per cent and that individual n
ellis showed decreases in flow ranging Il
ON 90 to so per cent. This decrease =
attributed largely to the filling of the I
ncased wells with sand and the caying n
the walls of these wells, but in part h
the depletion Of the artesian sup
". The government biologists regard 7
of the utmost Importance to the fu- u
ire welfare OF the valley that all wells n
properly eased to the bottom with n
'avy casing and fitted with valves, =
hich should be closed when the water y
not needed. Il
