OATS BEST CROP
Statistics Show Advantages
Over Corn Growing.
On Comparatively Cheap Land In
Western Canada Farmers Get Rec
ord Yields-cost Per Acre Much
Less Than Corn.

How much more does 1t cost to
grow an acre of corn than to grow an
acre of oats? To get a proper COM
parison 1t is necessary to take an IL
lustration from a farm on which both
crops are grown successfully. An ex-
ample has Just been brought to the
writer's attention of the comparative
cost Of growing corn and oats on q
Minnesota farm. 1t is furnished by
Albert INNER well-known farmer in
Cottonwood county, Mimi, in an ar
ticle which appeared in the Cotton
wood Citizen.
Mr.. Inner says: II had curiosity
to know how much It would cost to
raise an acre Of oats and corn. To
find out kept account, during the
year, of the time required and the
cash expended to grow the above men,
toned crops" His figures show that
It cost him S31.49 to grow an acre Of
corn and $1S.13 1-3 to grow an acre of
oats, or n difference of $500 an acre
in favor of oats.
Provided the respective crop yields
are not altogether out Of proportion to
the cost of growing the crop, this
seems to be good argument in favor
of growing oats. But to grow oats
successfully 1t is not necessary to use
$3.50 or 5000 land. In western Canada
some of the best oat-growing land in
the world can be bought for about $40
an acre. On this land good yields and
a high quality of grain is obtainable.
Fifty to sixty bushels to the acre
In properly prepared land is a fair
average yield for oats in western Can
ada in n normal season but yields Of
up to 100 bushels, and even more, to
the, acre lave been frequent In good
years. The quality Of oats grown in
western Canada is attested by the fact
that at all the international exhibi-
tions for many years past oats grown
in western Canada have been award
ed the leading prizes. There is on
record oats grown in western Canada
that have weighed as much as 4S
pounds to the measured buskel, and
the dominion grain inspector Is author
ity for the statement that S5 per cent
Of the oats examined by him in west
ern Canada weigh more than AZ
pounds to the measured bushel. The
standard weight for bushel of oats
is "a pounds.
Samples of these oats weighing up
ward of 45 pounds to the bushel are
on exhibition at the Canadian govern
ment information bureau, located in
various cities In the United States.-

BEAUTY CHATS

THE NAILS

TF POSSIBLE every woman should
i have professional manicurist go
over her nails once in while. unless
she is quite expert at doing them her
self. She should also have n profess
sional go over her feet once every
few months. The charges for such
work are always moderate. and
the pain and expense saved later, by
the prevention of corns and other trou-
bles is more than worth 1t. 1t is like
going to dentist twice a year, to
save expensive filings later.
At home, the nails should receive
little attention each day. The skin
should be pushed back with an orange
wood stick, to prevent its growth over
the nail itself, and any small pieces
that collect and harden along the side
Of the nail should be clipped Off. The
nails should be kept filed to small
Wounded point. Vaseline rubbed into
them every night will prevent ridges
forming, unless there is quantity Of
lime in the blood.
For the regular manicure, the nails
should be flied to shape and rubbed
with cold cream, after the fingers have
been held in soapy warm water. Then
the loose skin is scraped off with
edge of the file, the cutlcle cut or
pushed back, and all the hard skin cut
away from the sides, till the nail ap-
pears a perfect oval, set in the finger.
Then the bleach Is put under the nail,
IL any is needed, the polish is put on,
and the nail is polished with buffer
rubbed with chalk. Then all rouge and

air?" they said to each other. 1--WE
have been asleep all summer. Why
should we hurry away, now that we
are here?"
The cold wind came that night and
told them that winter was on his way
and they better go to sleep, and the
rain came down to tell them 1t might
be its last visit, for the snow was
getting impatient to fall.
The next morning the sun came out
and the DaElias and Asters laughed
as they bobbed about. "Who is afraid
of snow? We are not; why, we just
love the cold, crisp air."
"You flowers better go to sleep" i"

SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS

Long-distance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves. says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proofs of their endur
ance and wanderlust comes in re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers in England to tenn
porary homes In South Africa. These
birds were rlnged as nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other
end of the world. One nesting ringed
in Lancashire, was found In Cape
Province In February of the next year
another, ringed in Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March in Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire,
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; fourth swallow,
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire, was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward; the fifth bird.
ringed on June 1, 1919 in Stirlingshire,
was found in February, 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
