FARMERS, SOW OATS; CORN WILL BE HIGH Would Pay To Have Corn To Sell Next Year At $1.50. Many farmers in Greene coun ty are sowing oats, but many are not taking advantage of their op portunity in this line. According to Captain A. H. Smith the far mers are quite slow' about plant ing fall grain. J. Walker Dickinson district demonstration agent, sends out the following: From figures just now available I find that the corn crop in the United States for 1913 is short 661,719,000 bushels or 23 per cent, of the 1912 crop. Likewise by a strange coincidence, the oat crop is short 296,198,000 bushels or 23 per cent. This undoubted ly means that feed will be scarce and very high during the first five months of 1914. The Geor gia crop of oats and corn was good for this year; but the sup ply is very much short of the de mand. In the face of all this, it seems to me that there is but one wise course open to the Georgia far mers, sow oats, sow plenty of them, prepare the land well, se cure the best possible home grown seed, fertilize judiciously, and put in a liberal acreage. Do this at once, as fall sown oats nearly always pay. Spring oats pay about one year in three on the average. Some farmers may excuse themselves on the ground that they have plenty of feed to car ry them safely over, but with corn promising to retail at $1.50 per bushel, by March Ist, it seems to me unwise to take any chances. It would be much bet ter to be in a position to sell than to buy. At any rate take a tip from me and sow oats. —Greens- boro Herald-Journal. Big Money In Onions. With $9,000 in the bank from one year’s crop of onions on 20 acres, M. Luger and W. D. Lu ger, farmers near Osseo, declare their farm has been better than a gold mine. Planting red globe and yellow globe onions, these two farmers harvested practically 600,000 pounds of onions and sold them at Osseo Station for $1.50 a hun dred. The total receipts averaged $450 an acre, which is considered a high price for Hennepin county real estate. The onions were bought by J. B. Thompson, cashier of the Os seo State bank, and shipped by him to Chicago in 18 carloads. They brought a top-market price. The Luger brothers are not bragging over their result, and give much credit to the unusual season. “It might not happen again in 100 years,” said M. Lu ger. “The season was just right for an onion crop from start to finish. Os course, it took an im mense amount of labor, and 1 would not attempt to say just how much it cost to raise that crop. I would not advise any body to count on raising such a yield of onions next jearand plant them with that expecta tion.” Need Better Stockmen. If a man fails to make a suc cess with any particular breed of livestock he is likely to lay the blame on the breed and make a change. Th»breeds are all right; other men, hundreds of them, have made successes with all the improved breeds, and if one fails with any of them he needs to look to his methods rather than blame the breeds. It is not more or better breeds that we need, but more and better stock-men. —The Progressive Farmer. The Cash Grocery has the best in Groceries, both staple and fan cy.
