Agricultural
Sowing Oats.
Progressive Farmer
Mr D M. St?nton, proprietor
of the Maple Grove True!* Farm,
La Grange, N. C.. has ashed
some questions about sowing or
planting oats in the open turrow.
As he is a reader of The Progres-ive
farmer, an answer j
through its columns may reach
many others in need ot inlormation.
1 lind that The Progressive
Farmer is carefully read
wherever it goes.
Next year horse and cow food
will be in great demand. Although
the growth of grass, pea
vines and fo ider have bec-n lux
uriant, there has been no weath
er favorable tor saving them up
to date. Much fodder has been
lost in the Caiolinas. Thousands!
of bales ol hay are now coming
in every week from other Stages.
It may tie stated as a certainty
that the majority of farmers
will be scarce ol forage next
spring. They can meet the con
ditiou by sowing rich lots in
rye at once. There is no better
butter grown in tho South.
But the main dependence should
be on the oat crop. That gives
work animals a well-balanced
ration. It planted before the
10th of October they will be
ready for feed by the 25th of
May.
Another statement may be
helpful to the reader ot The
Progressive Farmer. Some of
the adveitisemeuts of the wonderful
oat crops raised North
and West are enough to induce
farmers to send for Ilie seed so
as to make CO to 00 bushels to
the acre. Don't do that. Vou
will be wasting your time and
money. B. II. Pollard, a probinvum

I(U lilt i Wi LUUIll v,
bought some very promising oats
with a big name, lie tried tliein,
and while tliey made a lair crop
he will sow no more, lie will
stick to the Appier and Red
Rust Proof. In buying seed get
such as are raised on the South
side of the Southern Railway, or
only a lew miles North o! it.
If you wish grain, with not a
great 'abundance of straw, sow
the two varieties mentioned
above. The writer prelers the
Appier. When re-cleared they
will weigh 35 to 38 pounds to
the bushel, and mules and cat
tie will eat all the straw. It
you wish forage sow the late tall
varieties?such as the Grazing,
f )lO Turf anrl Vri iG n
Grays.
Preparation is half the labor
or more in planting oats. Break
the ground thoroughly, bursting
up two or three incites of the unbroken
clay. Harrow well Put
it in line condition. Then any
time from September 20th to
December 20th put the oats in
with a drill. At the time planting
in the fall do not use too
much fertilizer in the drill. We
li ave found i hat 1 of) f r> 91)(I lmmulii
of 10-4 acid phosphate is enough.
It' the land is very thin we add
a little cotton seed meal. The
reason for sowing in the fall is
to get a good stand?so that the
plants will he well rooted belore
cold weather. The best time to

apply ainmoiiiated fertilizers on
1 ill 1 sown oats is March. The
following formula will be about
right lor broadcasting in March,
and harrowing in with a smoothing
harrow. That cultivates
the oats and smooths the land
tor t he reaper :
1,200 pounds 11 per ceni acid.
| GOO pounds kainit.
400 pounds nitrate oi soda.
It you wish an ordinary crop
sow 200 to 250 pounds of the
above. It you are working for
a large one apply 500 pounds.
It a 4 inch plow is used to
Open the furrow the rows will he
about 12 inches apart. That is
better on thin land. We generally
use. a small 5-inch shovel.
<lu thin land five peeks is enough
tor an acre. On belter land, it
maybe safe to plant a little
more. Any ordinaiy hand will
soon get the "hang" ot using
the drill. Greatest care should
be used to run the rows at the
rigid distance so that one fur
row will not till the preceding
one. There is no instance recorded
in this State or Georgia
shewing that oats planted tins
way have been killed by cold.
A few days ago a farmer irom
GalTnev, S. C., said he wished
to plant oats with the drill between
his cotton rows. lie was
informed that it could not he
done. While one furrow might
he made in the middl-, the other
would be impossible as they
would have to he run close to
the cotton stalks. The drill can
be used only on well-prep red
land. It is the only 6afe way to
make an oat crop in this section
of the country.

The Good Things in Senator

The Trouble in Cuba.
Thousands of Marines and
Blue Jackets being Sent to
Havana.
Washington, Sept. 20.?Fifteen
hun Ired more American marines
were ordered to Cuba today by
the Navy Department. Five
hundred marines from the Atlantic
licet will sail tomorrow on
the battleships l'rovi ncetown,
Mass., S00 or 900 marines will
sail on Thursday from Boston,
Norfolk and Philadelphia, and
the remainder will probably
leave New Orleans for Havana
on a Morgan Line steamer scheduled
to leave there Saturday .
Orders were first issued for
1,000 marines from the various
stations along the Atlantic coast
to proceed to Cuba, but, following
dispatches from Secretary Taft
indicating that he has little hope
of an amicable settlement of the
trouble? in Cuba, 500 additional
marines from the North Atlantic
Fleet were instructed to prepare
for Cuban service.
In addition to the marines
there will be nearly L'.uuu more
blue jackets sent to Cuba. As
there are now 1,200 marines in
Cuba and over 3,000 blue jackets,
when the vessels sailing this week
arrive in Havana, the United
States will be readv to laud a
force of more than 7,000 on Cuban
soil. The American warships
which will sail on Thursday will
be the cruiser Brooklyn, now at
League Island navv yard, Phil a
delphia; the battleship Texas,
which is being repaired hastily at
the Norfolk navy vard, and the
converted cruiser Prairie, which
is at Boston. The Prairie will
carry marines from Portsmouth.

Both naval and army officers
seemed "to l?se hope of a

that Secretary Taft is much discouraged
o?-er the situation and
believes that force must be used
to restore peace in Cuba.
