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. -CARBONATED WITH- NATURAL GAS Imported from the Mineral Springs on the llliino, Ger many, on draught at L.
