Prepare Now To Plant Oats.

Do not allow anything to stand
in the way of planting an oat crop
this fall or planting it at the prop
er time, advised W. r. Perkins,
Director of Extension, Louisiana
State University. Every one
knows that the corn and hay crops
are very short and that it would
be a great financial drain upon
the farmers if they have to buy
all the feed that will be required
for making next years crop.
Most of the oat crop failures in
Louisiana are due to planting the
crop too late, because of the t,y
weather in the fall, says Mr.. Per-
kins. Oats that are planted late
do not get a good start before
cold weather and are often winter.
killed as a result. Farmers are
therefore urged to plow their oat
land good and deep now or as
soon as it is in a condition to be
plowed. After blowing, harrow
the land until it is compact and
thoroughly fine on the surface.
This will enable the land to retain
sufficient moisture to bring up the
oats when planted.
For grazing crop, plant from
two to three bushels of red rust
proof oats per acre on the riches
soil in September.
For a grain crop, plant thu
same kind of seed and the sam
quantity, in October. If tn
land is thin where the grain croI
is planted. fertilize it as yo,
would for a corn crop.
Let the cotton crop stand; 20
can we'll afford to postpone gather
ling this crop long enough to ge

You will make a big mistake
you do not plant big oat crop
You will make bigger mistake
