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 it cost to
grow an acre Of corn than to grow an
acre of oats? To get a proper COM
parison it 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
Minnesota farm. It is furnished by
Albert Inner, a 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
1t cost him $31.49 to grow an acre Of
corn and S18.13 1-3 to grow an acre of
oats or a difference of $1,000 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 a 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 $50
an acre. On this land good yields and
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 normal season but yields of
up to 100 bushels, and even more, to
the acre have been frequent in good
years. The quality of oats grown in
western Canada is attested by the fact
that at all the international exhibit
lions 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 AZ
pounds to the measured buSEel, 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 81 pounds.
Samples Of these oats weighing up
ward of 45 pounds to the bushel are
on exhibition at the Canadian govern
ment infoA nation bureau, located in

PLAN TO MAKE YARD
FOR POULTRY FLOCK
South Side of Building Is
Favored by Experts.
Height of Fences Will Need to Be Reg
ulated by the Variety of Fowls
HexaeonaI Wire Netting Is
Not Expensive.

If convenient, it is well to have
double yards, for then one may rotate
green crops. Small yards may be
sown to oats, wheat. rye, rapeseed, ETC.,
but If large yards are available they
can be kept in a permanent sod OF
bluegrass, alfalfa, or clover. While the
fowls are using one yard the green
feed in the other is getting a fresh
start.
If the yards are to be on only one
side of the house, they should be ON
the south side in order that the fowls
may have the benefit of the first dry
ground in early spring. 1t not intre-
quently happens that in localities
where snow is abundant the ground on
the south side is dry many days be-
fore that on the north side.
If the yards are to be in permanent
sod and are to furnish green feed for
the fowls, 70 to 80 square feet should
be allowed for each bird. If part of the
green feed is to be provided for other
wise, and the yards used mainly for
exercise grounds, 35 to 40 square feet
for each bird will be sufficient, poul-
try specialists of the United States
department of agriculture say.
Hexagonal wire netting, Pinch
mesh, is suitable for fencing and can
be bought cheaply. Where several
runs are adjoining the fences may be
boarded up at the bottom to height
of 2 to 21a feet, or 1-inch mesh wire
can be used in place of these boards
to prevent the males fighting one an
other. Height of fences will need to
be regulated by the variety of fowls
The heaviest breeds, like the Brahmas'
may be restrained by 4-foot fence
while most of the other breeds can be
kept in by a 6-foot fence. Some OF the
Hamburgs and leghorns, however, need
Z or foot fence. By clipping the
fight feathers on one wing they can
be kept in without much trouble.
Gates should be provided in order to
permit access from one yard to the
next.
Shade of some kind should be pro-
vided, and this can often be advan-
tageously furnished by planting fruit
trees (such as pear, plum. peach
cherry and apple) in the yard

Everyone wants more pep and sure

weather takes away the appetite and

Be on the safe side this kind OF
weather and help nature all you can, by
taking an eatonic tablet about hair
an hour before you eat and one or
two an hour after you eat; it will be
of wonderful benefit. Eatonic SIM

aIizing that he would be unable to sell
it at all in that condition, he sailed
and revoked the butter and then
packed it in butter tubs. Although
the butter had deteriorated in quality
by this time, the appearance of the

buyers and the butter was promptly

The same principle applies to eggs,

were used in the five-tub sample. AL

LOCOMOTIVE MEN
FORM EXPORT BODY
Baldwin and American Organize an
Association for Foreign
Trade.

The organization of the Locomotive Ex-
port Association by the American Locomo-
tive Company and the Baldwin Locomotive
Works was announced yesterday. The
association has been formed under the
provisions of the Webb-Pomerene act.
Stockholders OF the new organization
will be restricted to the two corporations.
The export association will have four
managers, two from each company. 1t is
understood that Andrew Fletcher, presi-
dent of the American company. and Alba
B. Johnson, president of the Baldwin COM
pany, will be two of the managers. The
other two managers have not yet been an
nounced.
The American Locomotive Company re-
Gently obtained an order for $50 locomo-
tves for the Belgium government The
principal reason for the formation of the
export association was to divide that or
der between the two companies for the
purpose OF expediting deliveries. The as
sociation may also book other large for
eign orders on a credit basis. 1t will then
be in a position to facilitate the carrying
of the credits.
In addition to the Belgian order the
Baldwin company is now making deliv-
cries on 150 engines ordered by the Polish
government last summer. The company
recently received a contract for fifty en-
gines from the Egyptian State Railways.

Rates for call loans advanced to IS per
cent yesterday. That is the highest quo
tation since January 12 when money
loaned at that figure during the final
hour of trading. The previous high was

Renewals for both choice mixed col
lateral and all industrial securities were
made at 10 per cent. That is the highest
renewal rate since January 8. when 10 per
cent was charged. On January = the re-
newa rate was 10 per cent.
Tightness in call money was due to the
heavy calling of loans by banks in prepar-
alton for government Withdrawals during
the day. The government withdrew
heavily. In most instances the banks de-
clined to renew time loans that matured,
and those borrowers were forced to enter
the call market.
From Sh to S12 per cent was bid for time
funds of thirty to ninety day maturities.
Little money was loaned during the day.
The rate for prime bank acceptances
