crops so that the needs of the stock

Where small amount Of crimson
clover or vetch seed is available, it
will be we'll to SOW these with the.
oats. They will materially improve
the quality of the oat hay next year.
Good standard varieties of oats for
this State are the Appler and Red
Rust Proof Of the later maturing
types; Fulghum and Burt for earlier
. maturing.
In putting in oats, as of other small
grains, it will be necessary that the
seeding is not delayed too long. OF
the small grains-probably rye can be
e seeded latest with safety, but even
0 with this crop the earlier seedlings.
!, within the ordinary dates of seeding
:, the crop in the fall, is much to be pre-.
