Oats a Valuable Crop, and
Should Be Seeded Early In Fall
Bv R. R. CHILDS, State College of Agriculture.

this way after cotton have given a
higher yield than where seeded after
corn. Then, too, if you have velvet
beans in your corn they cannot be
grazed off in time to sow oats.
Use from six to eight pecks of
seed per acre, and be sure they are
good, pure seed. Many of the social
ed seed oats offered for sale are a
mixture of several different types.
As an instance we have long, slen-
r-growing oat with an open, spread
ing head that is often found in APP
pier oats. This oat was selected out
of field of Appler oats, and, when
tested for three years in comparison
with a pure strain of Appler yielded
only 440 bushels per acre as COM
pared with $40 bushels for the pure
strain.
A good application of stable man
ure, or three or four hundred pounds
acid phosphate at planting time, will
pay in most cases. Then about March
1st give it top dressing of nitrate of
soda. or sulphate of ammonia, using
rs to 100 pounds per acre. Do not
wait until the oats are in the boot
stage to apply this fertilizer, but put
it on just about the time the plants
begin to spread out preparatory to
shooting up the stalk.
Oats of the red rust-proof type are
good yielders in this section. There
are several varieties of this type, as
Appler, Bancroft, Hundred Bushel
and Cook. A good, pure strain of any
of these will give a good Weld. The
Fulghum oat has given slightly low
er yield than the Appler on our ex-
detrimental plots, but has the advant-
age of being from seven to ten days
earlier.

Wise and DIR. Bowman Wise, of

use as a private hospital, have stirred
up something of fight in Americas

purchase of the building DR.. Prather

had acquired the property in order to
protect the Americas and Sumter
County Hospital against competition,
and within a few hours the entire
town was talking about their action.
1t was then the Americas Rotary

The experience that most farmers
have had with oats the past few years
has tended to discourage somewhat
the growing of this crop. But stop
and think: Do you remember that
from 1898 to 1917 the oat crop came
through the winter without serious
damage?
Good crops of oats can be grown
in Georgia if the oat is given a
chance; but late planting, poor seed,
poor preparation and poor land will
always give low yields. After num-
Der of years of experimental work
and observation the following con-
illusions have been drawn:
First. Select well-drained land
that will produce a good yield of any
other farm crop, and it will grow
oats.
Second Early fall oats always
give the highest yield. An average of
four years work shows a yield of
30.6 bushels of oats sown on Oct. Is
as compared with 23.7 bushels when
sown on Nov Is. Will sixteen bush
els per acre pay for the little extra
trouble of getting them in month
earlier? In the winter of 1918 early
sown oats were not so badly
damaged by cold, and made 20 bush
els per acre, while Nov. Is sown oats
yielded only six bushels.
Third. Good yields of oats have
been secured when sown in cotton
the last Of September and
the first of October. This also gives
a good grazing crop that will come in
mighty handy for the old COW this
winter, and will only cost you the
seed and the time it takes to put
them in.

MANY QUEER JOBS
HELD IN new YORK
UNIQUE TASKS PERFORMED FOR
LIVELIHOOD. TASTES FOOD
FOR PATRONS.

High wages, plenty of food and
happiness are being sought by little
army of men in New York city who
obtain livelihood by working at
queer jobs.
One of the strangest tasks per-
formed in the metropolis is that of
the "dot' albright" man. He works
at a restaurant, and when the Gus
toners object to the quality of the
food served it is his job to go up to
the patrons and take taste. After
sampling the food the "dot's-all-
right" man informs the customers
that the food is all right, or, to use
his expression, "dot's all right"
High Pay for Escort.
This is only one of the multitude
of odd jobs that bring food and raj
ment in the big city. Another was re-
vealed in the case of the escort. He
was a nice, dapper handy sort of
man who could drive an automobile,
dance, order a dinner, talk Broad
way art or Riverside culture. When
it was necessary he could say Eyes"
and sis it not?" with any man in the
city. He received $50 a month from
well-to-do women who need an es-
cort.
One barber lost a steady customer
when the customer found that the
BARRIERS side line was shaving the
dead. Another man has the compare
lively uncommon job of breaking in
shoes for wealthy broker. All stores
have "fixers" and some have "bull-
les" A moving picture type supply
agency not long ago furnished fine
lot of types to sit in doctors office
and look like patients. The agent said
the doctor is well paid.
Job for Confidence Men.
A reformed confidence man is en-
ployed to train new statesmen for a
manufacturing concern. He is still
forceful, although reformed. He
learned a lot of practical things
about the average man that he is
passing on to the statesmen.
The existence of a marriage gang
was recently discovered in New York
city. This gang dealt with real aris-
tocrats. Before the counts and mar
quises could be disposed of to ad-
vantage the customers had to be
found. The finders were hairdressers
and other girls employed in uptown
beauty shops. They had unfailing
eyes for women possessed of money
and a bare trace of intelligence. A
little chat under the softening infu-
ence of a scalp treatment or a facial
massage and the girl would unfold
her life's ambition. The rest was easy.
One member of the gang prepared
the scenario" His sole duty was to
drill others in the stories to be told.
Mickey Shea's Career.
Mickey Shea, of Toledo, O., New
York city ard numerous other towns,
was a member of the gang. He was
driven out of the metropolis and
many other cities as far west as Los
Angeles, Cal, from which city he was
eventually returned to Ohio to be
tried After many trials he was SEN
fenced to six years in the Ohio peni-
tertiary. He did not take this mis-
adventure as any reflection upon his
reputation and ability.
''The only reason I'm doing this
stretch" he said, "is that l ran out
of courts"
