Counties in the state have so far

uries as provided by law, according
to figures compiled through August

registration has fallen off this year
as compared with 1920 are where

cotton and agricultural counties have
fallen behind all year

PLANT FALL OATS EARLY

Clemson College, Sept. 13.-Best
results are secured with fall oats
when they are planted early. When
seeded reasonably early oats make 4
better growth, giving more grazing
for liccstock if desired for nasturr
more protection to the soil as a cover
crop, and make a better yield in the
spring. For the Piedmont section
OF South CAROLINA, the latter part of
september of first of October is the
best time; for the coastal plains sec
tlons Octc ber is the best time ac-
cording to Prof. G. p. Blackwell, ar-
economist. 80
If oats are planted for seed pro-
ductlon they should be seeded alone,
put II Tor cover crop or for hav,
hairy vetch should be seeded wiih
them. The hairy vatch not onlv i'm
proves the quality of the hay, but
also serves as a soil improving crop
because it takes nitrogen from the
air and fixes it in the soil in a usahlc
form.
Methods of Seeding
The most common practice is TO
seed oats in corn and cotton middlcs
with Il thrce-tubc drill, or to SOW
broadcast and plow in with a cult
victor or sweep
In sections whore cotton does not
make a rank growth and where il
natures early, it is a good practice
TO plow under the cotton stalks as

soon as the cotton is all out. This
should be done with large plow
and with weed hook or weed chain
to help cover the plants completely
This will help materially also in the

The best varieties Of oats to plant
are the Fulghum and the Appler,
and the best rate Of seeding is
about two bushels per acre.

keep in mind. After washing, the
animal should be blanketed.
Animals that are to be shown
should be taught to lead and to
stand. In the show ring, the at
tendant should at all times be in
position to observe both the animal
and the Judge in order to properly
pose the animal.
