Sowing Oats and Grass Seed.
Col. It. J. Redding, in his always
nprecintcd “Thoughts for the Month,”
in the Southern Cultivator, thus dis
cusses these important and much neg
lected topics of interest to all farmers
of a progressive spirit and economi
cal views: *
The abundant yield of the last crop
of oats, that were sown in the fall, in
comparison with the spring sown crop,
will induce farmers to sow largely in
the coming fall. The pendulum will
probably swing back to the other ex
treme. Notwithstanding the repeat
ed winter killing of the crop we have
never lost faith in the superior wis
dom of the policy of fall sowing. Rut
fall docs not mean early winter. The
rule we have suggested as a good one,
is to sow fall oats as long before the
let of January as the main crop of
corn is planted after the 1st of Janu
ary. For instance, if February be
the month for planting the main crop
of corn, then oats may be sown in
November; if corn be planted in
March, then sow oats in October; if
April be the month for planting corn,
then oats should be sown in Septem
ber. In the northern part of the cot
ton belt probably August would not
be too early for oats.
Left to themselves, as when they
ripen and fall to the ground naturally,
or escape the harvester, the seeds of
hardy cereals and grasses usually ger
minate in August, September or Oc
tober, according to latitude, thus indi
cating the natural seed time. AVa
cannot go far wrong when we follow-
nature in such matters. The fruc
policy is to observe something like the
rule suggested in sewing oats, rye and
barley, and graze down the supera
bundant growth during the late fall
and winter, when the ground is not
too wet.
But we wish to suggest another ex-
• pedient to aid in preventing winter
killing, viz: To sow with the oats
some tender crop that will spring up
with the oats and afTord a covering in
the nature of a mulch after it has
been killed by r frost. Where sown
early enough, cow peas might answer
the purpose. Possibly, German mil
let! or sorghum would do. We throw-
out the idea in the hope that seme
farmer who is experimentally inclined
will make a practical application.
We wish only to repeat that the
earlier oats are sown in the fall the
better the plants will be able to stand
the freezes of winter. September is
the right month in north and middle
Georgia for the early crop. Don't be
afraid of winter-killing. If killed the
loss involved is practically but little
more than the value of the seed. It
killed the land will be in fine \condi-
tion for sowing again in January or
February. Indeed, if the same seed
he kept nud sown successively in the
fall for a series of years we believe
that the “strain” so developed will
become more and more barely and
less liable to winter killing.
