FREFE TRt ;**&##*#**#**—*#*%fi PRODUCTION OF OATS. This Grain ls Well Adapted to Condi« tions In New York State. is not generally considered profitable the authorities of the New York state college of agriculture at Cornell uni- versity say that farmers will continue to grow oats in New York for a num- ber of reasons. The principal one of fhese reasons is that some small grain crop- is needed on most general farms, and oats is better adapted to condi- tions in New York state than either wheat, rye or barley. These authorities say that the oat crop is more generally grown in New York than any other cereal, wheat be- ing limited mostly to the level, fertile plains in the western part of the state. Corn.is more widely grown than wheat because of its general use for silage, but it is usually grown on only the more productive land. Oats are grown on more types of soil and under a greater variety of conditions than any of the grains. Those who have stud- ied farm crops hold that a grain crop i§ needed to help seed grass and cover crops—is needed to produce straw- as bedding and grain for feed, so that almost any practical crop rotation suit- ed to New York requires one of the small grains. Since farmers and experts alike agree that the oat crop is a necessity in gen- eral farming, the problem which they are trying to solve is how to increase the profits from its cultivation.. The ex- perts say there is little opportunity to increase the price or value of the grain itself because the price is largely de- termined by the large crop grown in the west, where it is more cheaply pro- duced than in New York. Since it is probable that New York farmers ac- tually buy more oats than they produce, they may be interested in seeing the price kept down rather than raised. One of the things that can be done to help the oat crop and the farmer who is growing it is to treat the seed for smut. This treatment adds practically nothing to the cost of production, and Box____Post Office there is good evidence that it will ordi- narily increase the yield from 10 to 20 Want Something? Advertise for it in these columns per cent wherever smut ‘it preyalent. Most plans for improving general yields of a crop are said to involve consider- able expense either of money or labor, and those familiar with farm manage- ment say that it is rather risky to put more lahor or money on a crop that is already being raised with little or no profit. An effort which costs so little as the treatment of seed oats for smut and one which is so sure of giving in- creased ylelds may be said to be fully Justified. Trough For Pigs.

Where to Plant Orchards. A year or so ago a young farmer-was. told to set his orchard on a hill where the trees would not be so likely. to suf- fer from late frosts as they are down in a valley. The cold air settles down into the valley and drives the warm air up, which protects the trees on high ground, while those on the low ground may suffer. The young farmer now says that he notices the buds on the trees down in the valley are the first to swell. That is another reason for keeping fruit trees up on high ground. Trees that are down in a valley, protected from cold winds, are apt to start early, and the buds, being early, are all the more like- ly to suffer from late frosts. Plant or- chards on high, sloping ground where are good air and drainage, and less trouble than otherwise will be expe- rienced with late frosts.

Messalla starts out to find the dra- gon, goes up the avenue, and her meeting with various people bring destruction and dead to. those who had wrought her father’s ruin, al- though she is unconscious of the ef- Ifect she is having on their lives. She gives a package to a woman who turns out to be her father’s lost wife, the house being destroyed after the woman and Messalla leave. There is a reconciliation, all those injured were people who had injured her father, and the dragon has been slain by Messalla’s youth and innocence. ‘Warren, Il,—Mrs. Angela R.
