FIVE RULES FOR SUCCESS
WITH OATS
Land that yields 20 bushels of
Sori per acre will ordinarily yield
25 to 30 bushels of oats, and the
labor necessary to produce and
harvest the oats is considerably
less. Moreover, a legume hay or
sotl-improving crop can follow
the oat crop. In other words,
rightly handled the oat Crop can
be made one of our best payving
€rops; but as a matter of fact it is
one of our poorest paying Crops.
The believe the too common fail
ures with oats are due to a fail
ure to observe the following rules
that have brought success to oat
growers whesever they have been
followed :
L. Always plant in the fall—
Thirteen years' experiments at
the Alabama Experiment Station
showed an average yield for fall
“cedings of 36.1 bushels PEt acte,
2 unst 16.5 bushels for February
Secaiigs, a gain of 19.6 bushels,
or 126 per cent. September is
none too early to sow jn the up
per half of the cotton belt, while
in the lower half October and No
vember seedings wili usually be
safistactory, . =~ '
g Plont g rust-proof variety.
= Ihe Texas Red Rust-proof or
some of its strains, such as Ap
ler, Culberson and Bancroft, are
the best.
3. Treat seed to prevent smut.
—Next to rust, smut is one of
our most serious enemies to the
oat crop, and is often responsible
for greatly reduced yields. The
treatment is inexpensive and
sure; no oat grower should neg
leet 1t |
|
4. Plant a fair grade of land,
or use fertilizers. While oats
planted in the fall are about as}
dependable a crop as we have, it
is a mistake to expect them to do
their best on extremely thin land. {
On such soils an application of
400 pounds per acre of acid phos
phate at planting time and 100
vpounds of nitrate of soda in'
March will usually be found prof
itable. l
5. Grow a legume crop afterl
the oats.—Because it allows us:
to follow a double cropping sys-'
tem, growing a crop of lespedeza,
-owpea, or soy bean hay after thc;
grain is taken off, the oat crop fits
excellent into the standard rota
tions recommended for the
South. But the farmer who
grows oats and does not follow
them with a summer legume is
impoverishing his land, rather
than building it up, and for him
the oat crop is of very doubtiul
profit. . o
The five rules here laid down
are not hard to follow, and fol
lowing them carefully will make
oats onc of the best crops we can
grow. Unless they can be follow
cd we doubt the wisdom of plant
ing at all.—The Progressive Far

A POWEREUL BIG BACGK
BONE was required in Chas R.
Crisp to introduce a law in Con
gress requiring the great city of
Washington to pay its part of all
taxes. Tax payers ail over the
United States had up to that time
been helping pay the whole city
taxation of that great city, hut
Crisp knew it was not fair. He
passed a law compelling Wash
ington city to pay her own taxes,
That is BACKBONE and WIS
DOM. It took nerve too. Why
did not some Congressman all
these years before pass such an
act? Was it lack of wisdom, back
bone and nerve- We tell you
Crisp is a tall and powerful Con
gresman, fair and impartial, fear
less and desirous of pleasing
those in his district by wise and
beneficial legislation. Who can
say anything against this

NEW LAW IS PUZZLE
Question of Apportioning Con
victs Won’t be Easy Task
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6.—The
question of apportionment of the
state’s felony convicts under Ihe
new law is a matter which is not
going to be worked out without
trouble. The law provides that
one basis on which the reappor
tionment shall be made is public
road mileage in each of the coun
ties. On that the city counties,
led by Fulton, have been prepar
ing to take steps to hold up the
operation of the new law until
the next session of the legisla
ture, when an effort will be made
to have certain changes made in
it that will nearer equalize the re
apportionment thaa will be the
case under the present bill. [t is
now held that to get the accurate
rcad mileage of each of the coun
ties will require from two to three
months, and that the state now
has no accurate measurement of
road mileage in any county in the
stdate.
Ninety Counties to Suffer
Estimated figures show that 90
counties will suffer a considerable
loss of convicts under the reap
portionment, and that the heav-
lest losers will be those counties
in which are located the cities. To
offset that as far as possible it re
mains to be determined if, under
the new law, the improved city
strets may be included &s milecage
of roadways. If that can be done
the alleged purpose of the act—
said to be that on the part of the
small country counties of taking
the convicts away from the cities
—will have been more than fully
obviated.
It is because of this growing
contention between the larger
centers and the country counties
that the work of compiling the
reapportionment table is going to
be even more than ordinarily dif
ficult.
Most Congressmen can’t do any
thing for two or three years in
Washington. Older Congress
men ignore them. Crisp got there
lELI as soon as he took his seat—
if it was not brains what was it
that made these older Congress
men sit back and take notice im
mediately? No wonder Hoke
Smith needs him back in Wash-

LYRICAL LINES OF LIFE
The Heat.
By Ernest C. Foster,
‘ I can stand for politicians, or
the tales of statisticians setting
forth in rounded numbers when
the sun and carth will meet. |
can stand the village choir, even
tolerate a liar, but deliver me
from him who's always talking
‘hout the heat. | can stand a long
oration on ‘Our Great and \Won
drous Nation,” when 1 know full
well the speaker or myself has
not a sue. I can wear a wilted
collar, keep at work and never
holler, but T hate the man who
asks me, “Is it hot enough for
you?' Ship me east into the
jungle where the wild beasts roar
and rumble, feed me to the heath
en chieftain, of my carcass let him
eat. Ship me north where it is
frigid, where one is numb and
rigid, but protect me from the fel
low who must talk about the heat.
