PLANT OATS NEXT SEASON.
Injury to Corn by Drotlllt Mult'S Till*

or°t ioon.lr.au m„ to ,h. farmer.
to plant oats for another season, as the
drouth ... has cut , oil onr corn crop consid* ,,
(hi> yoar . 0 ur severe winter.
kiUed mogt of tho oat crop for the
last three years, but this is largely on
m;uoniU o[ ]at0 fall p , alUing aild p(K)r
iou of land8 80Wn in this cereal.
Experience has taught that oats sown
tho ]llgt of AugU8t und uutU tbe j a8t of
g 0 p teuiber n 0 t only yield a heavier
„ raiu but a ] 80 g j ve the plants a better
f?rovvt j 1 aIld j tg roo t, s extend longer and
become sturdier in tho ground, which
0 f course make tho plant hardier and
j e88 ]j a bie to be killed by freez-s.
My plan is to sow oats on corn laud
as 80au as tiio corn can bo gathered.
After the fodder is pulled and the sbnek
r j p0U8 then cut the cornstalks down
w i tbear on stalks and shock it. The
coru r i P ens in these shocks nicely and
can bo pulled off eialks at some future
aud tbe stalks are then ready
gbroader.
Thoroughly break this land with turn
p i ovrSi au d after this plowing, sow
broadcast 80 or 40 bushels of cottonsoed
per acre, or if you have not enough cot¬
tonseed then sow broadcast 500 to 400
pounds of acid phosphate with potash
per acre, the formulas being 8 per cent
of phosphoric acid and 4 per cent of
potash. Then sow two to throe bushels
of oats pjr awe (accoruiug to the fertil¬
ity of the laud) and harrow them in
thoroughly with a good disc harrow, or
plowing with scooter or ripper plows so
as uot to plow in the manure or the
grain too deep. Then roll land so as to
level the land with a 2-borse roller and
continue to roll the grain crop when the
freezes come during the winter bo as to
pack the ground around the roots aud
protect the grain from ths heavy spew¬
ing. Every farmer should have a roller,
(and they can be easily aud cheaply
made.) I know of no implement t.'sat
gives more value iu return for the
money than a good roller properly used
on a grain crop. Try it and yon will be
pleased with results.
Under this connection it might be
well to add that all small grain should
not be put in the ground too deep,
neither should the mauurial elements,
as the roots follow the inauure and
when the freeze comes it breaks the
deeper roots and the grain is injnred.
What we desire is to procure the largest
amount of lateral roots which helps
hold the upper aur/aco of the land to
gother and thus protect the grain from
the spews.—State Agricultural Depart*
