Value Never More Apparent
Than Now is Gist of Special
Bulletins Isued for Benefit of
Southern Planters.
Washington. —To assist southern
planters the Department of Agricul
ture has issued special bulletins on
the growing of winter wheat and
winter oats in the cotton belt.
_C. W. Warburton, agronomist in
the Bureau of Plant Industry, says
the \mlue of a winter grain crop in
the south was never more apparent
than now.
‘‘With cotton low in price,” says
Mr. Warburton, ‘'farmers are looking
for crops that can be sold for cash
or which will lessen their expenses by
supplying feed for work stock. Wheat,
oats and barley are all readily salable
locally and in northern markets while
at present there is also a consider
ble demand for export.
‘ The oat crop succeeds rather bet
tor than either of the other grains in
the Soutli Atlantic and Gulf States,
except perhaps on the heavy ciay soils
of the Piedmont area (western North
and South Curolina and northern
Georgia and Alabama.)
‘‘While it is now too late to sow
oats to supply pasture this fall, the
crop may be sown safely for grain
in November in eastern or southern
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, Louis
•’ftna and southern Texas. Many ex
periments have shown that October
or November seeding will produce far
bettr yields of oats in the South At
lantic and Gulf States than sowing
during the winter or early spring.”
