sus for admission into the Registra
ton Area.
The Government viii investigdt
these records in October, an effort j.
being made to verify all reports in the
Office and to secure additional records
which may not have been sent in.
The records of - parishes show re
ports Of less than 10 deaths per thor-

III arfsrsst.asays Mr. Perkins. Oats that
are planted late DO not get a COCO
start before cold weather and are often
winter-kiled as a result. Farmers are
therefore urged to pillow their oat LAND

a condition to be plowed. After pillow
ing, harrow the land until it is compact
and thoroughly fined on the surface
This will enable the land to retain
sufficient moisture to bring up the oal.

For a grazing crop, plant from two
to three bushels of red rust proof oats
per acre on the richest soil in SeptCm
Der.
For a grain crop, plant the same kind
of seed and the same quantity il De
tober If the land is thin whore the
grain crop is planted, fertihze it as
you would for n corn crop.
Let the cotton crop stand; Won can
well afford to postpone gathering this
crop long enough to get the cat land

You will make a big mistake if YOU
do not plant a big oat crop. You VIII
