Cutting a C-jp of Oata and Vetch. not justified hy tbe fact*. There I* no reason why a good variety of oata should no- be Jast as good tweaty years from now aa It Is now. If carls taken to keep it pure. Clean and Grade Seed. The seed should be cleaned and graded each year, taking oot the weed seeds and tbe small kernels. It *hon<J also he treated for amor at least otioe in two or three years. If tbe seed Is of good quality it will not pay to run It through the fanning mill more than once, to take out tbe smal. kernels and weed seeds. If tbe seed is poor *r very weedy, running 1. through a second time and taking out two--.bird* or more of tbe grata Is wtll worth

while.

The reason It Is best to take oot tbe small kernelr is that they do not make as strong plant* as the targe ones. The weak plants from Ikeae small kernels usually produce little grain If the kernels that are sown nrr all about the same sUo the plants will be uniform, tbe crop will all riiwu at Uie same time, und tbe yield will be better. Sowing With Drill Is Beat The best way to *ow oats is with ’he grata drill. Drilling gives e more even stand than broadcast seeding, for all the seed is covered to about the same depth. In Bowing broadcast. Home of the need may not lx- covered at all and r -me may he covered too ( deeply. Germination 1* better from ! drill- J seed and the growth Is more ' uniform throughout the season. In numerous tests at the experiment station* drilled oats have nutylclded oats sown broadcast by several busliels to the acre. Better stands of gru** and clover c*n also be obtained ’e j drilled than In broadcast oci*.

' veryone has seen enormous gullle* ert in a single seasov and year* spent In trying to undo the mischief. T! e moral Is stop the wash tag while the ditch Is small. Small gnln* s that have just started In c-irn field* or wheat fields, or even In pastures or meadows, may often lx- stopped with a little straw. Even cattle peth* In pasture* often deepen so that they need such treatment. In other places It I* ne<-e**ary to plan tc tr>* sorghum to stop washing, but l» the gnlllro are more than a foot deep and two or three feei wide It t* usually lietter to use brush, according to the University of Missouri College of Agriculture. Tbe brush dam give# lietter result* if (draw is mixed with the brash to help hold the dirt. Wherever ihe fall Is great enough to mske the wntei cut seriously It Is likely to be necessart • o stake down the brash and straw so that they will not lie washed away. The less busy winter time should be used In active work to stop losses from aoll washing and In planning, rut season'* field work «o that the f-lds will be phi.iled and cultivated across the slope or around the hill. Then the rows will not run straight down the slope and thereby furnish tb, steepest possible channel for tbe run-off from talna. Those who hsve such m taler cover crops as rye to hold the •oil In place are fortunate, hut those who do not should not flatter themselves that no washing I* going on evea la whiter when t K ere Is less
