The scant oat crop should be hus-
banded for seed this year. No oats
are as good for planting in the South
as those grown in the South, especially
if they are grown in the region where
they are to be planted. The same is
true Of wheat unless in a given Sec

Good seed should be ordered early.
Unless fertilizers are ordered early,
so that dealers can ship only in full

A statement that 10000 ton battle

be much the larger owing to the diff

is absolutely impossible to give rules
for the relations Of these terms, as the
conditions vary too greatly. Generally
speaking, the gross tonnage of a ship
is from so to 100 per cent greater than

Deadweight tonnage is on an average
