for Oats.
to advantage, while in unfavorable
ones seeding may have to be delayed
until early May.
Varieties of Oats to Sow
Throughout the northern states mid
season-maturing varieties, such as
Swedish Select, Silvermine, Banner
and Victory usually outyield other va
rieties. In average yield the large,
late (side oat) varieties rarely surpass
the midseason type In this section. In
unfavorable seasons, however. early
varieties, such as Kherson and Sixty
day, frequently outyield the midseason
varieties. In the corn belt early va
rieties as rule produce the most sat
lsfactory yields. For the northern por-
ton of this section strains of the
Kherson and Sixty-day type are to be
recommended, while in the southern
portion Red Rustproof, an early red
oat, is the most dependable. For
growing under irrigation at high ele-
vations midseason varieties of the
Swedish Select and Silvermne types
are the most suitable.
Seeded for Oats.
Prepare q good seedbed for oats.
The old idea that oats will produce
well on poor seedbed has persisted
too long. This crop responds as well
to thorough seeded preparation as
any other cereal. Do not pillow land
that was in cultivated crop last year,
but disk and harrow sufficiently to
make loose. friable surface seeded
two or three inches deep. AS oats re-
quire fairly firm seeded below the
two or three inches OF top soil, spring
blowing Is not desirable. there not be-
ing sufficient time fO, the soil to settle
before sowing. Disking also is less ex-
pensive than blowing. OF course II a
heavy growth of weeds is present in
the cultivated crop It will be necessary
to pillow the land, In which case the
seeded should be rolled or dragged
and worked down as much as possible.

Usually seed grown In the region

Thoroughly fan and grade your seed,
and then treat 1t for smut. The larg-
est yields are obtained by use Of a
good grain drill. Drilling requires less
seed, insures a more even distribution.
a more uniform covering, and conse-
quietly quicker and more uniform ger
mination. Under humid conditions the
best amount of seed to use on we'll
prepared seeded is from eight to ten
pecks to the acre. If 1t Is necessary
to sow broadcast on poorly prepared
seedbed use about twelve pecks. I'M
der dry-land conditions these rates Of
seeding are usually reduced about one
half, from four to six pecks usually
giving the best results.

DIPHTHERIA AND HOW TO
PREVENT 1T.

Diph,heria is more prevalent
this year than usual; this state
ment is vouched for by the State
Beard of Health, aud the increas-
cd nun Der Of cases we have had
locally in the last month or two.
While this disease has been
some what controlled by the use
OF Diphtheria Anti,oxin and fewer
deaths reported. There seems
' 70 be Do material cba1ges.lu lie
number OF cases reported.
The most logical way TO elimi-
nate this disease is through The
Schick Test which determines
whether a child is susceptible TO
diphtheria by a very simple
method. The serum is injected
into the childs arm, if the area
Immediately Ground the spot turns
red in a given time, this denotes
the absence OF sufficient resist.
snce power IN the blood to coun-
teract or drive out the diphthe Tia
germ. and the child should be
given an immunizing dose of the
serum known as toxin-antitoxin
which renders CEN plete immuniz-
alton for several years If there
Is no positive reaction from the
Schick test as has been explained
ABOVE the child is immune.
In conclusion we can only say
that it shopld be compulsory for
every school child between the
ages Of 6 and II to be given this
test and treatments made as in
dicated. BY this means diph.
liberia would soon be eradica,ed
and hundreds OF lives saved. See

ton you may desire in regard to
