Making Money On the Farm IV — Oat Growing By G. V. GREGORY, Author of "Hone Course h /Modern Aaricuhire" Copyright 1909 by America Press NEXT to wheat, om are tbe most widely grown small grain crop.. It is a crop that is needed on every farm for feed, especially for young stock and bones. In tbe corn, belt oats fill In a place In tbe rotation that cannot well bay taken by any other crop Tbe work of needing and harvesting fits In well with tbe work of growing a corn crop; hence oats are and probably always wUl be an Important crop In tbe corn beltIn spite of these reasons for growing oats tbey are not usually considered to be a profitable crop. Tbe price la lees than that of corn and the yield oanal-

ly considerably lower. Most farmers ; raise oats more because tbey have to I than because tbey tblnk there la any | money In It. if handled rightly, bow- I ever, oats can be made a money crop One of tbe most Important points in J oat growing Is tbe selection of seed I that is adapted to tbe locality. Oats | are a cool weather crop The hot | midsummer weather of the corn belt 1 1 Is one of tbe chief factors causing low | oat yields When the hot weather Ij strikes the oats tbey blight and rust 1 badly. Many times tbey crinkle dowo 1 1 and do not fill well : | Advantage of Early Variatiaa. ' j The only way this can be avoided In 'j the corn belt ,1s to sow.early varieties. These ripen before tbe hottest weather comes and escape many of tbe troubles that affect '•later oats Early varieties are tpneb less susceptible to rust than late ones are. Tbe selection of rust proof varieties Is tbe only way of combating this disease, since, udllke smut. It c&nnot be prevented by treating tbe seed. Experiments at the Iowa experiment station sbow nine bushels more to tbe acre In favor of early varieties. The average of twelve years experiments at tbe Nebraska station gave,tbe early oata, fourteen busbels to tbe acre advantage. In good oat years— that la. , those with a cool summer— tbe difference Is not so marked. In such seasons the late, oats yielded seven bushels to tbe acre less than the early, while the medium oats yielded a little J more. In bad oat years— and In tbe | [ corn belt four years out of dve are bad from the oats standpoint— tbe early varieties yielded twenty-one busbels to the acre more than the' late and thirteen busbels more than tbe medium. The medium varieties are more convenient. as tbey do' not crowd In ob haying and corn plowing* like the early ones do. The use of Improved baying machinery is shortening the time required for putting up tbe hay crop, however. The advantage of early oats In yield will in most cases more than make up for t-he disadvantage* of bavag the work crowded during tbe first if of July Early oats have another advantage that they give tbe clover a betchance. Where tbe oats are not got off tbe ground until the last of July and dry weather follows, as It often does, tbe clover mattes little growth and Is often killed out entirely. With the adoption of a systematic rotation clover will nearly always be seeded with oats, so tbat this ts 8 point that caunoi be Ignored. It la not advisable to ship In oats from a distance to seed the entire fieiti- Often yon caD get good early seed from a neighbor at .little more tban mahkit price If there are no early oats In your community you can send away for a few busbels of a uew ,varictv and plant tbem In a corner of tbe" field tyr themselves. If they give good satisfaction enough seed can be saved friaii tbem to seed tbe entire | the next season. In tbe northern of the Dnlted States and In Canada, where the summers are cool," late varieties can be profitably grown In i sncb localities they give a greater yield and a larger, plumper oat. Preparing the Seed. I After tbe seed has been procured the ' Dext step Is to get It Into shape to This means a liberal use of the fanning mtil A large per cent of tbe oats sown are shoveled from tbe bin directly Into the seeder Most farm who do fa» tbeir oats simitiy ru> tbem through once to blow out tbe sticks and dirt and sieve out tbe weed seed. It pays well «c run the oats through the mill two or three timet blow out all tbe Hj.'at seed Tbe j work qan he done In winter when , there is little else te do. Tbe light j oats that are blown ont are Just as good for feed as tbe others, and tbe heavy ones that are left are worth several times us mnch for seed In ex perl men ts carried on to show the com I parative value oT light and heavy oata ' tbe Ugfat aeed yield rt) forty -seven bnsb-

els to the acre, tia medium fifty-four sad tbe heavy sixty -two. The difference may not "be tMa great ever/ time: but it wlU always be great enough to pay well . for the labor of fanning There b yn objection to using tbe heavy oats for seed tn that they tend to become a llttye later each year. This can be avoided by Introducing some new seed of an early variety every few years Directions for breeding seed oats will be given in article 7. After the oats are cleaned and grad ed tbey abouid be treated for imnt Smut la a black fnngus tbat grows from a tiny spore that lodges beneath the ball when the oat la In hlooin and the kernel open. Whpn tbe bull closes tbe spore Is bekj Inside an! II rh" next season, when It sprouta and *Ads a thread op through tbe atem to the head. There the smut grows, producR lng a black masa where the bead ° should be. Often as many as 15 per cent of the heeds will be affected In h tbla way. Tbeee black beads are not L easily noticed, eo that the damage la 0 usually underestimated. n The simplest method of treatment la ' to spread tbe oata out on a tight floor and sprinkle tbem with a solution of one pound <>r formalin to forty gallons of water This amount ts sufficient for forty bushels of oata. Shovel the ^ oats over two or three times until tbey a are thoroughly wet. and then pile them 1 up and cover tbem with blankets or sacks. Tbe fames from tbe formalin will peqetrate beneath the bull and kill the smut spores. In the morning the oata should be spread out again and shoveled over occasionally nntll dry They can be sowed wet, but In tbat case tbe seeder should be set to sow about a bushel to tbe acre more, as tbey do oot run through as readily. This work should be done on a warm day. as freezing while tbe oats are wet will Injure tbe germination. This treatment costs only about a cent a bushel g and Is very effective. r» I Preparing the 8eed Bed. r One of the most neglected points In - oat culture is tbe preparation of the seed bed Oats do better on a rather y firm seed bed. If tbe field was In corn 1 tbe year previous It will not be necces sary to plow unless tbe ground Is very t "tin«d. It should be disked thoroughly, t however, to cut up tbe stalks and pulr verize the upper two or three Inches, r It will usually be profitable to let tbe t disk "lap balf." as tbla does away j with ridges and lea^gs tbe land tn better shape One harrowing after tbe disking leaves tbe ground In splendid , shape to receive tbe seed Methods of 8e«ding. r There are several methods of eeed- • lng. of which tbe end gate seeder Is tbe worst and the disk drill the best. 3 Tbe two main objects tn seeding are i to get tbe seed In evenly and at apr proximately tbe same depth The end gate seeder fulfills neither of these re- ; qulrements. The broadcast seeder scatters tbe seed evenly, but it Is covered t no better tban with tbe end gate seed- , er since both depend upon tbe disk for , covering The disk drill Is more ex- , pensive and does not get over .the , grouDd as rapidly, but It distributes! the seed evenly and • puts .It at the ' same depth. The seed is dropped in ' ] furrows made. by tbe disks and tbor- 1 . onghly covered, so tbat one harrowing I Is all tha: is necessary after drilling I Experiments sbow a considerable ad- 1 [ vnntage In yield In favor of tbe disk ; drill. I At tbe Iowa station the average of four years' experiments showed nine ( bushels to tbe acre is favor of drilling i over broadcasting. From balf a bush ' el to a bushel less seed to tbe acre U | required when a drill Is used, as all d n r y

the seed is pui where It can grow ic i

the best advantage Clover has a bet- 1 ter chance In drilled grain. Tbe drill] should be run nortb and south! so that the sun can shine in between tbe rows j on tbe little clover plants. t Harvesting the Crop. 5 Preparation for harvest should be made by having the bluder In perfect running order beforehand If oats are not cut as soon as ripe tbey will al- * i most surely go down and be iosl ! Great care should be takeD io sboeking to see tbat tbe bundles staod up firm ~ ly If tbe straw Is not too green the shocks sbould be capped, as a cappeu shock will sbed rain better A sbock that st :i i.(i- up straight and ts well . capped wttf abed a great deal of rain * without wetting In much It Is much belter to s'ack tban to tbrasb out of tbe shock. Tbe oata will sweat some j where. aDd they will be of better qua) j ] Ity if they do it to tbe stack lustend " i of In tbe bin. It has been proved many ' times over tbat there Is nothing to lit gained by thrashing oats from tbi i shock. Oats that have been permitteu i to go through tbe sweating process <o , a well protected stack are always. oi better quality than those which have neen hurried into the thrasher. I
