PREPARE SEED
BED FOR OATS
Disking and Narrowing in Spring
Is Better for Good Yields
Than Flowing.
EARLY SEEDING DESIRABLE
Care Should Be Taken to Secure New
Stock Of Seed for Sowing Where
Local Supply Is of Poor Quality
Use Clean Seed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
When oats follow a cultivated crop,
which is usually the case, it is not
generally necessary TO pillow the land
before sowing. Oats do well on fall
plOwed land, but if the land has not
been plowed in the fall, better yields
are usually produced from sowing in
a seed bed made by disking and har-
rowing than in one made by spring
blowing. Early seeding for oats is
very desirable. As a good seed bed
can be made much more quickly with
the disk harrow than with the pillow, on
land that was in a cultivated crop last
year. the saving in time is an advan-
tage. Two diskings and one narrowing
with the spike-tOothed harrow will
put clean land in good shape for SOW
ing with the drill.
Buying Seed.
II local supply of seed oats Is of
poor quality, care should be taken in
getting a new stock for sowing. 1t is
better TO get this supply from points
to the east and west than from points
north or south, rs the varieties are
more likely to be those which will do
well locally. Varieties which may be
best two or three hundred miles to the
north or south may not be at all suit
able. If new seed is wanted, ask the
county agent or the state experiment
station where TO get II and what va
rieties TO buy.
If you have been growing n variety
which does well I'm your locality II
Is better to SOW well-cleaned seed of
that variety grown on your own farm
or I'm your county than To get seed
from n distance. IL takes oats n year
or two to get used To the soil and
climate in any locality. and they will
not do their best until they become
adapted TO local conditions. If the
oats grown locally were injured more
or less last summer by rains after
harvest, make n termination test and
prove that they will not grow before
YOU decide To send away for seed. If
your oats are light and chaffy take
out about two-thIrds of the lightest
OF them with the tanning mill and
use the other third for seed.
The Idea that oats run out and that

few years Is quite common, but IL is

Of good quality il Will not pay To run
IL through the tanning mill more than
once. to take out the small kernels
and weed seeds. If the seed is poor
or very weedy, running il through n
second time and taking out two-thlrds
or more of the grain is well worth
while.
The reason IL is b,st TO take out
the small kernels Is that they do not
make as strong plants as the large
ones. The weak plants from these
small kernels usually produce little
grain. Ii the kernels that are sown
are all about the same size the plants
will be uniform, the crop will all rlpen
at the same time, and ne yield will
be better.
Sowing With Drill Is Best.
The best way To sow oats Is with
the grain drill. Drilling gives a more
even stand than broadcast seeding,
for all the seed is covered 10 about the
same depth. In sowing broadcast,
some of the seed nay not be covered
at all and some may be covered too
deeply. Termination IS better from
drilled seed and the growth is more
uniform throughout the season. In
numerous tests at the experiment sta
tions drilled 10 have outyielded oats
sown broadcast by several bushels
TO the acre. Better stands OF grass
and clever can also be obtained In
drilled than in broadcast oats.

Says it is Possible
 to Stop Oil Fuss

Washington, Sept. 10.-An ultimate settlement of the petroleum contro- versy between the Mexican and Uni- ted States government satisfactory to both is expected by Dr. Atorre Diaz, recently appointed Mexican minister to Brazil, now in Washing ton on his way to his new post. Dr Diaz who was confidential agent in Washington of the revolutionary movement that overthrow President Carranza in discussing the oil ques- tion said:
 q am convinced that satisfactory agreement based upon reasonable and sound interpretation of the law will be reached. President De La Huerta has no desire to inflict inn position on foreign interests. and only wishes to safeguard the rights of Mexico and prevent speculative exploitation. The oil interests in this country may feel absolutely sure of justice, though it requires time to adjust matters of such great import ance."

Declares Miners Will All Strike

Scranton, Pa., Sept. 10.-Within three days every anthracite mine worker will be on vacation" accord ing to leaders of the vacation move ment. This action, they say, will be the miners answer to President Wilson's refusal to reopen the award of the anthracite commission which failed to satisfy the workers.
 Enoch Williams, chairman of the joint grievance committee of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western coal company and also leader of the insurgents in the Scranton district said that the refusal of the president to reopen the case will result in one of the hardest fought industrial strug- gles ever walked in the country.
 "Men who have remained at work have been doing so in the belief that the president would reopen the case and make it possible for the an7 thracite mine workers to be granted concessions similar to those won by the bitiminous workers, he said. "The lines are now firmly drawn and the mine worker who continues at work under the award as handed down by the majority members of the com mission is not true to himself, the union or his family.
