More- t ?ver, a legume hay or soil-improving 1 rop can follow the oat crop. In i >ther words, righlv handled the oat; rop can be made one of our best ( laying crops; but as a matter of fact < r is one of our poorest paying crops. ( >Ve believe the too common failures vith oats are due to a failure to ob-j itrve the following rules that have! rought success to oat growers wher-] iver they have been fouowed: 1. Always plant in the fall. Thir- ] een years' experiments at the Ala a ma experiment Station showed anj average yield for fall seedings of 1, 16.1 bushels per acre, against only! 16.5 bushels for February seedings,, i gain of 19.6 bushels, or 126 per :ent. Septemoer is none too early i o sow in the upper half of the Cot-; ton Belt, while in the lower halt "> tober and November seedings \\ j iiMially be satisfactory. If winter-j killing is feared, use one of tne three-row open-furrow grain drills advertised in The Progressive Farmer. Open-furrow veed.ne is ex rellent insurance against winter-, killing. 2. Plant a rust-proof variety. The Texas Red Rust-proof or some of its, strains, such as Appier, Culbersor.i and Bancroft, are the best. 9. Treat seed to prevent sniu?. Next to rust, smut is one of our most serious enemies to the oat crop, and is often responsible for greatly reduced yields. The treat-j nient is inexpensive and sure; no| oat grower should neglect it. 4. Plant a fair grade of land, or use fertilizers. While oats planted in the fall are about as dependable a crop as we have, it is a mistake to expect them to do their best on extremely thin land. On such soils an application of 200 pounds p.-r acre of ri/.wl * ...... ui planting time and 1 "0 pounds of nitrate of soda in; March will usually he found profit-j able. 5. Grow a legume crop after the! 0.11s. Because it allows us to follow a double cropping system, growing! a crop of lespedeza, or soy bean hay after the grain is taken off, the oat crop fits excellently into the standard rotations recommended for the South. But the farmer who grows oats and does not follow them with a summer legume is impoverishing his land, rather than building if up. and for him the oat crop Is of very doubtful profit. The five rules here laid down are not hard to follow, and following them carefully wtn make oats one of the best crops we can grow. Unless they can be followed we doubt tl/e wisdom of planting oats at all,?

I' " 'RIDAY, SEPT. 15, 1916 |THK KTKPHRNB FA IK TKAI>K BILL Every Indication over the country| shows that the big catalogue and'< ! mail order house are making a des-f peiate effort to defeat the national' legislation known as "The Stephens' I air Trade Bill." This bill will be of the largest valu in stopping price cutting on certain' articles below cost of production for J the sake of "baiting" the people on| t?- buying in other lines where prices are advanced to more than cover the losses on the special article sold at cut prices. The plan of mail order houses through which they take standard articles that have a fixed selling price and sell them at less than cost, is demoralizing to the legitimate re-' tail business. legitimate jobbing busi-| I ness and to the business of the man-; . afacturers themselves and it is to! stableize prices and stop this char- 3 aeter of cut-throat business that the | Stephens bill was introduced in congress. This is one of the most important measures of recent years in the inter- | est of small dealers. When mail order houses take nationally advertised goods that the manufacturers I have created a market for and cut ttio g price below the price that local re-1 bailers must pay for these goods, i11 ? simply drives the retailer out of the' , selling field in those lines and the! catalogue house, after getting this business at a less than cost price.> makes it up on other goods so that the local merchant is hit from both directions. ^ It took several years to pass a par J eels post law and when it was pass-| ed, the local merchants over the country were protected through the' zone system. The mail order houses) made the effort to have a one-fiat] carrying rate on parcels post, carrying a parcel from ocean to ocean as cheaply as the same parcel could be carried at ten miles distant. Congress when it passed the parcels post law. very wisely createu the zone sys tern, making packages pay accord- | ling to the distance they travel, which I was fair and equitable. This parcels post zone system has |been largely nullified through postal regulations that have allowed big {catalogue houses to ship supplies by freight to different points in the count iv and then distributing then; at local first zone rates?directly against the spirit of the parcels post law which contemplated that packages should pay from their source of origin rates according to the distance traveled. Manufacturers and jobbers and small merchants are all directly interested in seeing the Stephens bill passed and the big opponents of this measure are the mail order houses which want no restriction placed on their unfair business. The advantages that the matt order houses have ecu red in the parcels post system, have been greater than the law itself contemplated.
