IMPORTANCE OF TANNING
SEED GRAINS.

OEHD 0hA1N ..
Last year we famed and cleaned
several hundred bushels of wheat,
oats, barley and rye to be used for
seeding purposes. What most inn
pressed everyone that helped to do it
was the amount of oats that went
through the bottom screen or was
blown over the sleeves. In cleaning
100 bushels it was common to get
about as to so bushels of seed. But
this was SEED in the true sense.
Every kernel plump and heavy. Oats
grow different from nearly all grains.
The head or panicle of oats contin-
ues to grow like the branch Of a tree.
Even in the fall if yon examine a
branch from a tree or bush you will
find that near the end of the branch
the leaves are new and tender and
not fully developed. This is SO with
oats. There are always small, inn
mature kernels near the tops of the
branches. There are always several
hGIuClS UlldO oil w SCU lCI UAl1LOQ dnO
the result is a kernel that is light
and nearly empty and this kernel will
not sprout as il has no embryo in it.
1t is dead SO to speak. Now a good
tanning mill will blow all these dead
kernels over the sleeves. These are
worthless for seed as stated before.
The bottom sieve will take out all
small immature kernels. When oats
are sown as they come from the
threshing machine you may think
you put seed enough in the soil. Sup
pose you SOW two bushels to the acre
or two and one half. You are really
sowing half this amount which is
not enough. When seeded too thinly
you are only inviting the weeds to fill
in and spoil the crop. 1t is a bad
waste of time and good seed to SOW
uncleaned seed of any kind.
The same applies to sowing grains
without treating them for smut. Last
year was bad year for smuts. We
stood in one field that was sowD with

untreated seed and picked Is heads Of
grain ruined with smut and never
moved out of our tracks. In fields
that had been sown with treated seed
we had to hunt faithfully to find even
one head with smut on it. Suppose
only one head in ten is affected. You
lose 10 per cent of the yield you say.
No you lose much more. Many of
the heads that do not show smut are
still affected. That is, the branches
of the smut are all through the stem
of the plant like a cancer and have
kept the plant from doing it's best
during the growing. Where smut is
prevalent do not figure that you will
have over half crop.
MIXED OATS AND RYE
One successful farmer in the coun-
ty always sows about two bushels of
oats and three pecks Of spring rye to
the acre and gets splendid results.
He says that never again will he SOW
oats alone for feeding purposes. The
rye grows taller than the oats and
hence does not interfere with the
growth of the oat heads nor does. the
oats hinder the rye. Some mix wheat
and oats with good results but they
grow the same height and interfere
with each other considerably. Rye
also does much better than wheat on
salIdy light land and the amount of
straw is greater.
No, we do not recommend that you
raise this straw for feeding but how
about bedding? Alas, too few COWS
in this locality have good bed.
Comfort helps to fill the milk pail.
Recently we visited barn where the
owner had purchased buck wheat
straw for bedding and those cows
looked more comfortable than any
cows / have seen for a long time.
That man will have a good sized ma.
nure pile to haul out too And of
course you know that is the most
profitable work on the farm if not
the most pleasant.

 FROM DRAFT IN WAR

Because he claimed exemption in the draft as a citizen of a neutral country, John E. Nelson of Melville avenue was forever barred from citi- zenship in this country when he ap- piled for second papers in the Super for court this morning. When Nel- sons name was called United States Examiner Church told Judge Curtis that Nelson's questionnaire showed he had refused to fight for the United States.

The records showed that Nelson could have avoid ed his present predicament if he claimed exemption on the ground of dependency inasmuch as he has a wife and four children.
 Nelson was born in Sweden in 1882. He came to this country in 1902 and has resido d here ever since He took out his first citizenship pa pers in April, 1916.
 A class of IS girls from the Bridge port High school, who visited the court to observe how citizens are made, witnessed Nelson's downfall.

Buffalo, Sept. 25-With a general strike of soft coal min CTS in the United States set ten tatively for November 1, oper- atOrs and representatives of the men met here today m an effort to avert it by reaching an agreement on questions of wages, working hours and working conditions.
