UNIFORM TILLAGE-BETTERSEED| Proper Preparation of Soil, Clean | Well Selected Seed Well Drilled in Will Insure Maximum Yields—Harvesting, Shock- ing and Stacking. By Prof. L. C. Burnett, lowa State College of Agriculture. [National Crop Improvement’ Service.] In order to give a maximum crog of any grain, a field must present an even stand of uniform plants. ‘Fields that look ragged sometimes yleld that has been properly tended; but this is no argument that the piece in qQuestion could not have been im- proved by the adequate treatment. There are four factors that go to produce an even crop: 1. Uniform land. 2. Uniform tillage. 8. Uniform seed. 4. Uniform distribution of seed. Increasing the Yield. Experience has taught that the fo} Jowing practices are necessary to im. erease the yield of oats: a. Preparation of seed bed te. a uniform depth and surface. b. Grading seed. Treating seed for smut Sowing with a drill. Sowing plenty of seed. Cutting as soon as ripe Shocking. . . Stacking. Uniform Land and Tillage. The tillage of land for oats is one of the most neglected practices in a great many states. This is true in Jowa. Two or.three times over a stalkfield with a dull disk and harrow 48 considered by too many farmers to be all that is necessary for oats. The ridges from the last year's corn- fleld are left so that they are ap- parent all through the season, and even the next year in the clover. The water from raing runs down into the hollows between these ridges in the early part of the season, causing the ground to pack, and thus retard the growth of the plants. The few that are able to survive get yellow and spindly. The whole piece is striped ke a prison suit. Depth to TiII. The depth to which oat ground should be tilled varies with the soil and season. Corn: stubble will usual- ly produce a fair crop if prepared well to a depth of two to two and a half | Inches. Our best crops, however, have been raised upon land tilled to a depth of four inches. The seed should not be put in more than one inch below the surface. The first item in the production of good oats 18 to prepare the land to a uniform surface and te a uniform depth. R0 -4 Uniform Seed. Results show that grading seed im- proves the crop. Well graded oats' will usually give a germination test pbove 90 per cent, but if they have at any time heated in the Dbin, they phould be tested for vitality. This may be done easily in a box of dirt or! sand, set in among the house plants, or in any light room that is not al lowed to freeze. f There is another factor of im- portance from the standpoint of uni- form seed, namely, smat. The fan- ning mill or grader wiit not eliminate oats smut from the seed oats. ~., Uniform Distribution of Seed. \t i8 impossible to sow oats evenly | by hand.-or with an endgate seeder, and it is impoasible to cover to a uniform depth after any kind- of: 'a; broadcast seeder.. Just how “much this non-uniformity will affect the uniformity of the plants lies ‘largely with the weather conditions.. If there is an abundance of rain the difference caused by depth is reduced. .. The spotted condition caused by uneven distribution is never entirely over-' tome. Cutting the Crop. The average farmer cuts his oats at above the proper time; that is just before the heads turn yellow. There are two.or three days just before mia- turity when' the heads are white;: but are not entirely ripe. Oats cut at] shock, giving a brighter color, .and are not so likely to “shatter” &s when | they are left until they get dead ripe. Lo -~-How to Shock.: Opinions ‘differ regarding thé form of shock which it 18 best to use: - This will vary with the ripeness of the bundles. . Round -shocks :should; be of medium size, open enough at the base so that they will dry quickly and capped &0 as to expose the least pos- 'pible amount of the heads to the sun and dew. The color of the grain de- pends largely upon these two points In shocking. 8hock Threshing. Shock threshing is a pernicious practice. . After a man has ‘gone to the trouble to raise and harvest a crop of oats there is no excuse for his '8d for practically the same inomey as when they -are- hauled -directly-to-the machine. When oats are “’wm out” {n the stack there {8 much more atr this pertod ‘will ripeh ‘and cure in'the | roupd the krlln and it comes ouf .| bright in color and crisp in texture There ts, usually at least one ‘grade difference between stacked and shock threshed oats. Do not be afraid of a little wind when threshing; the light, half-filled berries are worth just as much in the straw pile as’in the bin, in addition to the fact that they are eliminated from the threshing bill. —_— OATS AS HUMAN FOOD. Cheapest and Best of Cereal Foods— Protein Content Greater Than Any Other Cereal Food, Says the lowa Agricultural Experi- ment Station. [Natfonal Crop Improvement Service.} Oat meal 18 one of the cheapest an¢ best of cereal foods. In the United States the manu facture and consumption of oat meal have greatly increased in recent years. Most of the oat meal now man: ufactured is more properly termed rolled oats.” Thorough _cooking not only makes oats more palatable, but greatly in- creases its digestibility. The Iowa ag. ricultural experiment ‘station found that the average price per pound of|les, R three brands of oat meal was slightly less than that of seven uncooked foods made from other cereals and little more than half that of 17 brands of prepared cereals. Ten cents pur chased a greater fuel value in the form of oat meal than in the average of the other uncooked cereals, and nearly double that which could be ob tained in the prepared cereals. The protein content of the oatmeal was greater than that of any of the other cereal foods. Similar results showing the high f00d value and comparatively low cost of oat meal are reported by several other agricultural experiment. stations. It is generally recognized that most of the protein in oat meal {8 readily digestible and that oatmeal 8 a valuable addition to the diet. 80ILS ADAPTED. TO OATS. Oats 8hould Not Be Grown om Very' - Rich 8oll or on Low Undrained Lands on Account of Their Liability to Lodge. (By Raymond Olney.) [National Crop Improvement Service:] In the production of oats proper climatic and cultural conditions are of’ as much importance as the character or-even the fertility of the soil. Ow-! ing to their greater water-holding ca-' pacity loam and clay soils usually pro- duce better crops than sandy soils. Sandy land with plenty of plant food' and a moderately stiff subsoil will: grow good oats, but heavy, undrained.| clays are too wet and cold for the: best growth of the crop. More water 18 required to produce a pound of dry matter in oats than in any other cereal, hence the necessity for BrOowW- ing this crop on land which naturally retains moisture or which is well filled with humus. On account of their lia- bility to lodge, oats should not be grown on very rich soil or on low, un: drained lands. Good drainage is es- sential also in the prevention of in- jury from plant diseases. Title of Pope. It is uncertain when the.title pope was first used. The earliest instance we can ecite, is that of Heraclius, Pa. triarch of Alexandria, in 222. It ias still the ordinary title of parish priests in the eastern Greek church, In the west, it continued for several centuries to be applied to bishops gen- erally, but it .was restricted to the Roman pontiff by Gregory VIL in o synod, held at Rome in 1073. ..

Many of us would be apt to eat hemlock under the impression that it was cress if we relied upon our own judgment. In the same way your self reliance may cause you to buy poor values in the belief that you recogmze high quality. Blind buying is the germ of dissatisfaction. It may also be one of the many reasons for the increased cost of living. You can avoid dissatisfaction, lower to some extent your cost of living, and gain a truer familiarity with the values of the things you purchase by relying on the word of the man.who is not in business for a day—the merchant who advertises in THE.PIONEER. It will repay you to read the advertisements in. THE PIONEER closely and constantly every day. (Copyright, 1913, by J, P. Fallon.) GBARANTEED B 8EMIDH BREWING CO.
