The chief reason for our low average yields are, in our opinion, as follows: poor lands and lack of fer. tilizers; spring or winter planting: failure to use the best varieties; and oat smut. Plant the Chits on at l.east Fairly flood I,an?l The practice is too prevalent o* taking the best land for cotton and corn, apparently under the assumption that any sort of land will do for oats. Generally, when all the othe? requirements are met, oats wll fprobably make a paying crop on any land that will make a fair crop ol corn or cotton: but at the same tirm let us not. forget that the best vieldt I are obtained only when the land i? (good. As with corn, plenty of or panic matter obtained either fron i stable manure or legume crop* ; plowed under, is of first importance : in petting the land in condition to make a pood oat crop. II However, where the manure and ! legume crops have not been used, experience has shown (hat commercial 1 fertilizers rightly used will pay. On ! most soils in the Cotton Relt wc | would hardly recommend the use of I potash for oats; certainly we deem its use inadvisable at present prices. Acid phosphate will pay on probably all our lands, unless it be on some of the black lands in Alabama. Mississippi, and Texas, or on the black Mississippi river bottom lands. When applied on oats, we would use not less than 200 or 300 pounds per acre "broadcast at planting time. ' What form of nitrogen to use on oats will largely depend on the current prices for nitrogen-carrying materials A quick acting fertilizer, because of the erliness of the maturity of the crop, s generally advsable and for this reason nirate of soda has dressing.

Late Planting an Invitation to Failure Carefully conducted experiments at a number of stations in the Cotton Belt very clearly show thatixi planting too late is largely responsi-I ble for our low average yields For instance, at the Alabama Experiment I station, experiments for 13 years' showed an average yield for fa!!|'a seedings of 36.1 bushels per acre. aeainst nnlV 1 f. S K.?r. 1."1 - ... - 111 ,, Iiumicia avflaKP iov February seedings, a gain of 19.6 bushels, or 126 per cent. Results i at other stations have been little less ! c< favorable to fall planting. 'u; The time of planting will of course Pi vary with the latitude. In the ex- ci treme northern part of the Cotton tl Belt. September seedlngs are u undoubtedly advisable. Further o South, say in the middle Cotton Belt. * October seedings do well, while near a the Gulf Coast oats planted in No- U vember can usually be depended up- a on to make a good crop. I1 Farmers in the northern half of u the Cotton Belt sometimes object to I' fall planting, on the grounds that the oats are too liable to winter-kill, p Of course this danger Is more ser- 1 ions than farther South, but the fact i remains that as far north as cotton j a I is grown fall oats on an average t are not winter-killed oftener than) a one year in three, and unquestion-! \ ably the largely increased yield re- t suiting from fall planting w'll more t than offset the losses occasioned by < infrequent winter-killing. 1 But even in the upper third of th<> Cotto,, Belt, we doubt if winter-kill- , ing the necessary evil that it is commonly supposed to he More of- . ten than not. excessive winter kil'.. i ing occurs because of too late planting and it is probable than plantings made at the right time and in the right way will anywhere in the Cotton Belt, escape this danger n'n > years out of ten. Tn the Piedmont sections of th South what is known as the "openfurrow method" of planting is now considerably used to avoid winterkilling. This consists in laying ot't tows 16 to 20 inches apart with ; small shovel plow on a Georgia stock and then planting the oats in this furrow with a drill, covering the seed lightly This method of plant1 ing leaves the oats in a eonsiderah'e : depression, and this has heen found to be a very decided protection 1 against hard freezes. The slowness or this method of planting has been its chief drawback, but recently 1 there has been put on the market a three-row open furrow drill, with a fertilizer attachment, drawn by one horse, that does the work very effectively. rapidly and economically.! Planting with an ordinary grain drill. Instead of the common way of ^broadcasting. also helps considerably In preventing winter-killing, and i oats planted with the drill have very generally out-yielded those planted in the old way. Treat Your Oats to Prevent Smut i For nearly all the Cotton Belt the: Texas Red Rust-proof or one of its strains, such as Appier. Culberson and Bancroft, is the best variety to I plant. The Burt Is the best variety i to plant. The Burt is a good spring' oat. but spring-sowed oats are inadvisable except under rare condi-, ditions.
