GOOD SEED OATS
The Proper Choice of Varieties II
important.

THERE are numerous commercial
varieties of oats. These represent
strains of a relatively small number
of distinct botanical varieties. Many
farmers do not know that two strains
of oats may be identical in appear
ance and yet differ greatly in yielding
power. The most satisfactory meas
ure of the value of variety or strain
is it's yield in bushels per acre, if its
quality is good.
Improved early Varieties yield Welt.
THE Kherson variety was intro
duced from Russia in 1896 by the Ne
braska Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, and the Sixty-Day variety from
the same country in 1901 by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture. These
varieties have served as a source for
one of the most important groups OF
oat varieties grown in the United
States.
Among the outstanding improved
early varieties developed as selections
from the Kherson and Sixty-Day, are
the Albion Uowa No. 1889, Gopher,
Iowar, and Richland Gowa No. 1857
Similar varieties which have attained
some importance are Cole, Nebraska
No. Fl, and State Pride. The Iogold,
first distributed to farmers of Iowa in
1927, is a most promising new rust
resistant selection. Heavy epidemics
of stem rust of oats in sections of the
Corn Belt in 1926 and 1927, have en-
phasized the value of rust-resistant
varieties such as Richland and Iogold.
Midseason Varieties.
IN the northern part of the Corn
Belt varieties maturing in midseason
are sometimes preferable to the early
sorts. Those which have been stand
ard for years are Silvermine, Swed-
ish Select, Lincoln, Green Russian,
etc. In recent years the Victory has
become of considerable Importance,
although 1t is rather too late in ma
turity for much of the Corn Belt
Among the improved midseason vari-
cites are Miami, Iogren, Minota, Wis
consin Wonder, Wolverine, Worthy,
etc.

CHAPTER VIII

Meely's idea in addressing the county
teachers on Saturday morning at their
monthly institute was not so much to
be instructive and pedagogical, as to
be entertaining So she chose for her
subject "Shakespeare's Women" That
title. while looking educational on the
program would give her chance to
riot In dramatic orgy-speeches of
Lady Macbeth, Portia, Desdemona,
Juliet-she would have the time of
her lifel
And as she would never see these
women again she need not bother with
her accent, which would be great
relief.
Nicely had assured herself, before
launching forth, that the superintend-
ent was not present. And once she
got going" she was too transported
from the world about her to notice,

His mother laughed. She had never
yet met the girl who, if given a chance,
would not "fall for" either one of her
fine sons. And, of course, with the
additional lure Of their millions, who
could resist them? Surely not county

though, of course, she must be, as
Marvin insisted, far above her rela-
tives or he could hardly find her SO
interesting and so presentable that he
would ask his mother to call on her.
Well, this certainly needed looking
into! She would lose no time in call
ing on the young woman.
"I'm curious to know, Mother, how
you'n size up Miss Schwenckton. Will
you go to see her soon? On Monday?"
"What time will she be home from
school?
"School closes at four. By the way,
to avoid the curiosity of the farmers
family, it might be better, perhaps, to
call on her at her school just at clos
ing time"
"I'll be glad to avoid the curiosity
Of the farmers family" his mother as
scented.
So it seemed that our young school
mistress was booked for something of
a reception at her schoOlhouse at four
o'clock on Monday afternoon: Mr..
Creighton plotting to visit her with
the determination to bundle her out of
the neighborhood, because he saw in
her the final and strongest hindrance

a friendly call. whether the girl were

desired as his elder sons bride. de-

When Marvin Creighton reached his
fathers house that same evening, he
found, to his dismay, all the drive
ways about the place filled with limou-
sines. A party on? But that was un-
likely, for now that he no longer lived
at home, he and his mother valued
these Thursday evenings together too
much to let anything interfere with
them. This evening he especially
wanted to see her alone for the rea-
sons he had accurately stated to Miss
Schwenckton-he wanted to see the
photograph he had asked his mother
to unearth and he wanted very much
to hear about the English mail she
had received.
He surmised that he had probably
come in at the tail end Of an after
noon club meeting-the "Quo Non
Ascendus club" probably. Well, he
didn't want to be caught in that bed
lam! So he stole in at side door
and went upstairs to his own rooms.
The familiar sight of his bedroom
and study, to which he could now
come only on brief visits in his ia
theirs absence, depressed him. It all
seemed so unnecessary, this bitter
controversy between him and his IA

AVOID THE SMUT TAX
Treating Seed Oats for Smut Pays
Big Dividends.


THE yield and quality of oats may
be materially increased by treating
the seed with formaldehyde to control
smut. Dat smut takes heavy toll
each year. This can be almost en-
tirely prevented by seed treatment
The formaldehyde may be applied as
spray, sprinkle or dip.
The spray method: Place the
seed to be treated on a clean barn
floor or in wagon box. Mix one pint
of formaldehyde CT per cent by
weight) with one pint of water and
pour into a quart sprayer. This
amount of solution will treat SO BUSH
els of oats. If a smaller quantity OF
seed is to be treated use proportion
ately smaller quantity of the solution
Shovel the oats from one pile to an
other, at the same time spraying each
shovelful. After the oats are spray
ed cover the heap of seed with can
vas or sacks which also have been
sprayed with the solution. Allow the
cover to remain five hours, when the
oats may be bagged or sown.
A modification of this method which
consists of using one pint of Tornado
hyde to ten gallons of water is some
times used. Apply by spraying about
bushels Of seed in the manner de-
scribed above for the half and half
solution.
In applying the spray treatments
care must be exercised to avoid irrf
tation of the eyes, nose, and throat
by the formaldehyde vapor.
The sprinkle method: This Is a
time-tried and effective method. The
seed is placed in pile as for the
spray method. Make up solution by
adding one pint of formaldehyde to 40
gallons Of water. Apply the solution
with sprinkling can at the rate of
about / gallon to each bushel of seed,
the oats being shoveled from one pile
to another. Then shovel the oats in
to a pile and cover as in the spray
method. The covers should remain ON
for at least two hours, or as long as
over night. The seed is then spread
out to dry sufficiently to permit SOW
ing or bagging.
The dip method: This method IS
essentially the same as the sprinkling
method just described, except that the
seed is dipped directly into the solu-
tion until every seed is wet, instead
OF being sprinkled.
For the sprinkle and dip methods
care should be exercised to avoid
freezing of the wet seed and to pre-
vent heating.
Surplus seed treated with Tornado
hyde may be fed to farm animals
without injury, provided It has been
spread out and aired for few days.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-03-15
Rate Of SEEDING Oats

THE amount of seed to SOW depends
to some extent on the condition and
fertility Of the soil, the method of
seeding, and the size of seed. More
seed is needed on weedy, poorly pre-
pared land than on a well-prepared
seed-bed, but excess seed can not be
considered substitute for good seed
bed preparation. The usual rate of
drilling is from 8 to IL pecks per
acre. For sowing broadcast the
rates vary from ID to 16 pecks. Large
seeded varieties should be sown at a
heavier rate than small-seeded ones.
