Win'er oats can be planted the last of the month in the Tiedmont and mountain {-eelions.? Some good oat growers advise sowing the oa's broadcast and plowing uiem under, leaving ute land rough. Others advocate (he "open furrow'' or "open row"system that has so often been described in The Progres sive Fanner. The pnnciple in each case is the same: th'at of ] utting the oil's deep in the ground and allowing the winter freezes to pulverze the land and slowly fi 1 in around the plant. Crimson clover in many sections o4 The Progressive Farmer territory can be sowed thi>month?in many instances at the last cultivati .n of the crop, and ill others, by sowing in the standing crop and then cover the seed by running a light harrow or cultivator between the rows. If a cultivator is u*ed the teeth EL'S ? * should not be allowed to run deeper than is necessary to cover the clover seed. Sow at the rate of filteen pounds ot clean peed per acre. Where there is doub' about getting a stand ot c'over, it will be well to mix rye with the clover seed, s ty, six to eight pounds of clover seed per acre and half bushel of rye. Rape for winter grazing for hogs, sheep, and possibly dry cat tie, can be put in this month. It will bo well lor our farmers to experiment with this compara% tively new crop to most of them and learn its value as a forage plant. If put in broadcast, plant six to eight pounds of peed per acre, and, if drilled, from three to five pounds per a^re/ * In this connection it may he well to remind our farmers ot t lie importance of a big "turnip patch." The land should be tortile and well prepared. S<?w rutabagas at once, other varieties I later. The second crop of Iri-h pot atoes is an important one and | shnu'd be more largely grov'n in! sections where if; succeeds Plant i "" only sound potatoes and at a tune when there is k,a reason" in the land. Dry soil and su' shine are death to the second I crop. With this month comes the i usual fodder-pulling time in many' sections. Are you preparing to continue this wastelul method, or will you let your corn stand longer, then cut and shock it a-lias been advised in The l\o<m*ssive Farmer ( Fva di render must Hi . decide th s very important question for himself.

It your land has not been already prepared, it will soon be too late to do so for this fall's planting. Deep plowing immediately be fore planting the seeds usually results io a failure of the crop. V- * < TiiE Department. A The dry weather that usually I follows dries out the soil and the A plant perishes. The land should eci he plowed long enough before P< seeding time to allow two or cl three rains to settle the soil and P1 make it firm for the alfalla roots 8t to strike into. ht Some Things to do in August. si| so Now that farmers are nearly Cl through working their crops a there are some things needing w attention which have heretofore been put off. All terraces should be plowed to strengthen theui;"ind to destroy the, weeds and tli zrass on them. All breaks in s:< them should be repaired and the til low or weak places built up 1,1 a i It is an acknowledged fact that evor\ farmer should raise all tha 1:1 lot and stable manure possible and now is the time to haul ajov 1 trge lot of leaves and straw. If 111 it is not desirable to straw the R lot all over it can be hauled and re rn>?i ti... ?uia? m |ji?vcu i*? ui i>n^ m auit tlcors and* in 1111 lowest places in re the lot. di IKJ Weeds nround the yard and lot can be cut and {rot out of the Is way. This will help the appear. ca juice of things and keep the pi ice | from looking so snaky and be- fo sides destroy thousands of weed gc seeds. fo re fo All tools and farms iraple- ^ menls and m ichinery shonl I be to C(i placed carefully away under a ci -belter. The oil can and paint u brush can be use 1 on some ol it g1,' lo good advantage. Do not leave any farm itnpb inputs in the field or out in ilie weather. It is poor policy, after furnishing ttie larm t" with such things to let them be k> ruined by such carelessness. at e? n Hushes and briars should be or shrubbed in the pastures to let pj the gra-s grow. Many pastures arealmost worthless for stock on UI account of tlie growth of other things than grass. Remember r< ct 'hat grass dues not grow where lil hi briars, bushes and trees are al- m lowed to take charge of the pa - n; lure. ? J. M.
