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 II cost to
grow an acre OF corn than to grow an
acre Of oats? To get proper COM
parIson 1t is necessary to take an IL
lustraton from 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 a
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 saws: 81 had n curiosity
to know how much 1t would cost to
raise an acre OF oats and corn. To
find out I 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. 40 to grow an acre OF
corn and SlS.13 1-3 20 grow an acre OF
| oats, or difference Of $1,000 an acre
! I'm 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 n 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
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 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
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 49
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 u 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

CHAPTER KIN.

Selling his long line of spring and
summer wheat, Fitzhugh bought three
million bushels of the September OPP
tlOn. He was now become known as
the greatest of the bulls. Every big
buying order was laid to him. His
appearances in the pit grew more in
frequent. He distributed his COM
mands among six or seven different
brokers. Crops were universally bad.
The United States had not yet felt
the European demand, but it would
come soon, and he knew 1t would be
heavy. He knew wheat would rise
still higher, and he gradually increased
his holdings in September to six mil
lion bushels.
Then came the cry from European
insistent cry-the cry for bread. He
received q code-cable from his agent
in Liverpool: Can negotiate five mil
lion wheat. Name price"
He sold his six millions at an ad-
vance of twenty cents a bushel, and in
one vast swOOp bought in eight mil
lion bushels Of July. And Hunt so far
