WHY NOT WINTER
OATS IN ARKANSAS
Fall Sown Oats Yield Better Than
Thoee Planted in Spring—Sturdier
and Fit in Well With System of Ro
tation.
Why not fall oats? Two crops of
fall sown oats yield as much as three
crops of spring sown oats. Fall sown
oats will yield at least 50 per cent
greater than spring sown oats. The
weight per bushel is greater for fall
sown oats. Fall sown oats work well
into the crop rotation, for they may
be followed immediately after corn,
the oats being followed the next sum
mer by cowpeas. Fall oats are put in
the ground at a time when the farm
teams are doing practically nothing.
Arkansas must grow a larger acreage
of oats and more bushels to the acre.
Fall sown oats will help to do this.
reparation or seed Bed.
For the best results, a well pre
pared seed bed should be had. Where
possible, break the land prior to seed
ing time. Just before seeding time,
disc well and smooth with a section
harrow. When oats are to follow im
mediately after a cultivated crop,
such as corn, the land may be double
disced and then smoothed and har
rowed well with a section harrow.
The discing and harrowing should be
repeated until the soil is in good, mel
low condition.
Treat Seed for Loose Smut.
A good percentage of the oat crop
is destroyed annually by smut. This
may be prevented by using the fol
lowing mixture and treatment:
1. Mix one pound (one pint) of
formaldehyde with forty gallons of
water in a large sized barrel.
2. Put a bushel or more oats Into
a bag (a cheap gunny sack of very
coarse material).
3. Dip bag and oats into the solu
tion and shake up and down until all
oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and
drain.
4. Allow the oats to remain in the
bag or empty out in a heap and leave
for two hours.
5. Spread them out to dry.
6. Machinery and receptacles to be
used in handling the oats first should
be thoroughly cleansed with the solu
tion.
7. Sow about 10 per cent more per
acre to allow for the swelling.
When to Sow.
For the northern part of the state,
sowing should begin not before the
middle of September. In the south
erin part of the state October is pref
erable.
Method of Sowing.
By using the drill, the seed are
placed in the soil at a uniform depth,
insuring a good, even stand and uni
formity in ripening. Experiment
shows that by using the drill larger
yields are obtained. Also, the 'drill
leaves the plants in a little furrow,
thus affording slight protection
against cold and heaving. Use the
drill if possible; otherwise sow by
hand.
Rate of Seeding.
Seed your oats at the rate of eight
or ten pecks to the acre. Experi
ments conducted by the Arkansas
Experiment Station at Fayetteville
show that these rates give the most
economical yields.
Varieties.
In the northern part of the state
sow the turf oats, such as Winter
Turf, Virginia Turf, Winter Grey and
Snoma. In other sections the Red
Rust Proof oats are hardy and give
good results, as well as the turf oats.

Shall the McCrory Special
School District be Divided^
Continued frc m front page
of great import and deserving oi
the most careful consideration oi
not only every parent, but everj
man, woman and child in the en
tire school district. We shall
have more to say regarding this
matter next week and our paper
is free to Mr. Patterson, Mr.
Harris, Mr. Baxter, or any oi
the other good people of Jelks,
just the same as to those of Mc
Crory or elsewhere, for the can
did discussion of this matter.
This “fight’’ shall not be drawn
into personalities with us, but
shall be conducted, so far as we
are concerned, on a higher plane
and from a business and educa
tional standpoint.
As we nave said belore, we
don’t blame the people of Jelks
for trying to get all they can,
but as we all know there is one
reason (probably not the main
one) for them to want to divide
the district and that is plainly a
selfish motive. If they succeed
it will be a boost for their town
for we know that people as a
rule locate where there are
churches and schools and Mr.
Patterson is ever looking for the
homeseeker and investor of whom
we hope he may land a goodly
number, but we certainly don’t
want to lose him and his good
neighbors from our school dis
trict, no NEVER.
