IVK RII.KS FOK SUC- t
CF.SS WITH OATS i
<
Land that yields 20 bushels of corn
ier acre will ordinarily yield 25 to 1
I
10 bushels of oats, and the labor (
itcessarv to produce and harvest tl e s
ats is considerably less. 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,?

GAINS THIRTY POUNDS
WHILE TAKING TANLAC
Wife Says Husband Was Hardly
Able to Turn in Bed For
Six Months.
HAD LOST ALL HOPE
Three Bottles of Tanlac "Worked
Miracle For Him- Almost."
Made Able to (io to Town.
After he hud been given up to die
and his children had been called to
tiis bedside troni their homes in several
States, Mr. J. A. Busbee. of Clifon,
S. C., a suburban town near
Spartanburg, followed the advice of

\s a result, he gained 30 pounds In
weight and was strengthened so
nuch that he was able to walk
iround the farm and drive seven
niles to Spartanburg In a buggy, according
vo the statement given on
\ugust f>th by his wife.
Mr. Busbee took three bottles ofi
Tanlae, she said, and during the six J
nonths immediately before he began
0 take Tanlae he had been so weak
md ill with stomach trouble that he
'requently required his wife's assistance
when turning in bed. Her
statement follows:
"My husband sutfered from a very

'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. If they can kill
>u mf Diepn-ms i>ui. tney win be still (
| further equipped to combat the |
smaller merchants scattered over the
country. The whole question is ,
, rapidly becoming one of whether the ,
merchandising of tae country shall ,
he concentrated into the hands 01
the few great houses in the larger
.cities or whether the merchandisingj
l-hall be done on an equitable basis!,
among retail merchants through thei
cities and towns over the entire

"On a recent visit to a typical ru

cyan Chirstian Advocate, "I inquirec
from two-score children present how
many lived on the farm and receiver
he reply that over two-thirds of the
children in this school came fron

Not one single hand went up. Th<

was, 'Why do you not wish to remaii
