How to Grow Better Oats By T. R. STANTON AffropomUt in Charge of Oat Investigation., Office of Ceraal Crop, and DiieuM, Bureau of Plant Indu.try, U. S. Department of Agriculture

Best Soils for Oats ^ THE soils of the Corn Belt generally are well adapted to oats. Soli productivity In this area la lets important for oat culture than proper cultivation and handling. The laud must be well drained. On wot, undraiued soils out* may be Injured by plant diseases. On the other hand, oats require more water to produce u pound of dry matter than any other cereal. The crop, therefore, should be grown on land that naturally retains moisture. Loam soils usually produce better ouM titan the wore sandy

ones.

GOOD SEED/OATS '

Ths Propsr Choice of VarlotlM la Importast. THERE are numerous commercial varieties of ougs. These rep resent strains of a itelatirely awall i,timber of dtatinct betauical varieties. Many fnruiera do not know that two strain* of oala may be identical In appearance and yet iltITer greatly In yielding power. The moat satisfactory measure of the value of a variety or strain is its yield In bushels per acre, tf Its quality I* good. Improved tarty Varieties YieW W.ll. THE Kherson variety wap Intro duced from Russia in IWMS hy the Nebraska Agricultural [experiment StaUon, and the Sixty-Day variety from tlse same country In 1901 by the U. S. Department of Agrlcul ture. These varieties have served ns n svwtrce for one of the most important groups of cat varieties growu in the United States. Among tlie outstanding Improved early varlrtte- developed a* -elec lion* from the Kherson and Sixty Day, are the Albion (Iowa No. 103), Gopher. lowar. and Hlchlauu (Iowa No. lOu). Similar varieties which huwe attained some lutpor tance are Cole, Nebraska No. 21, and State 1’rlite. The logold, first distributed to farinera of Iowa In 1927. is a most promising new rustivslatunt selection. Heavy epidelca of stein rust of oats lit sections of the Corn Belt In 1928 and 1927 have emphasized the value of rimt-rcststani varieties such as Hlchluud and lognld. Midseason Varieties IN the northern part of the rum Rob varieties maturing in mtdseu sou lire sometimes preferable to the early sorts. Those which have been standard for year* are Silver mine. Swedish Select, Lincoln. Creon Russian, etc. In recent years the Victory has become of conslderahle Importance, although It Is rather tiwi late In maturity for much of the Corn Belt. Among the Improved rotdseaaon varieties me Miami, logren, Mlnota, Wlacon sin Wonder, Wolverine, Worthy,

etc.

Rate of Seeding Oata THE amount of seed to sow de-

pends to Hume extent on the condition and fertility of the soil, the method of seeding, and the Mize of

air to reaidi tin* eri.-s or clov.-r Mors seed Is needed on plants thnn I? possible If the* out. i weedy, poorly prepared land than Art sown broil.lea si. U11 „ VV ell prepared seed bed, but

excess seed can not tie otisldered a substitute for good seed bed preparation. The usual rate of drlllUig Is from 8 to 12 peck* per acre. I or sowing broadcast the rales vary from ID to 18 perks, l.arge seeded varieties should be sown at a heavier rate than small seeded

ones.

Oata in the Rotation A DESIRABLE rotation for oats Is one that Includes both tilled and legume crops. Data are quite adaptable, and rotations usually are arranged to meet the needs of other crops, rather than those of oats. Winter wheat cannot be sown where corn reniulus standing in the field until freezing weather before harvesting. As a result, spring-sown oats follow the corn crop with better adjustment of labor and time. They also till requirements us a nurse crop for clover and grase. A common rotation In the Corn Belt consists of corn, oats, and gross or clover. This sometimes is extended to u 5 year rotation of corn two years, oats one year, and clover or grass two years. Usually this rotation Is reduced to n •l^'ear sequence, including two crops of com and one each of oats and clover, or one crop each of corn and oats and two of clover and grass. Another rotation Is corn, outs, winter wheat, one year each, followed by clover and grass for one or more years.

Oats as a Nurse Crop OATH ns a nurse crop are not

as satisfactory ns some others, the foliage being too dense and tlu* crop drawing too heavily on soil moisture. These objections are largely overcome by seeding early, short vtravved varieties. To insure obtaining the be-t stands of clover or grass, it sometimes Is advisable to seed outs ut less than the normal seeding rate where oats are grown for grain. Oats should be drilled when used uk h nurse crop. The uniformity of space between the rows permits more light aiui

Date of Seeding Oats FOU KUi'ccss In growing oats tin*

aeed should be sown early. In the Corn Belt, the best flat*' of scoil tug ordinarily Is the earliest that rite land can be worked as permitted hy soil moisture and weather condition-:. Late seeding usually results in a decided reduction

to yield and quality.

Jewel Bod Preparation QATS respond well to proper send bed pruaarntlou. Whwo <>ata fellow corn rh« seed frequently Is broadcasted Without any previous pfep a ration of the land covered by mslilng abd harrowing. It is better pradUca, however, to disk the land before Meding, regardless of ItoW the ae«d la to be sown. The aeed h«d for oat» should be rat bar firm beneath with two or thrae iD"b*>s of looaa, fltwiy pulverized moftow aoll oil the surface. If soli ocudiUona aft at, all favorable a fnWy aatlafactoary seed bed usually may be prepared by two single disking* or one double disking fm lowed by harrowing Whare oats ara to be sown on land with aland Imp cornstalk*, It Is advisable to drag down or break the stalks be fore disking. The disks should ho set to run from 3 to 4 Inches deep. ].ap disk lug. or so-called double disking, usually leaves the surface more nearly level than cross nr diagonal disking, although the latter method frequently Is used. A •econd dinting is necetiaary to cover the seed when sown broadcast. Good Seed Important GOOD ‘veeit la essential for sue coss with out*. Home grown seed usually 1" preferable, provided tin* seed stock represent* it high ylsld trig strain of u variety adapted to local conditions. The variety also should he renaonably free from admixture* of other varieties. The germlnablllty of oata usually la good. Oat* that have been well cured In the shock or stack and haw been stored properly usually will retain (heir viability for several years. If, however, there Is doubt regarding viability of the need, a test should lie made. This may be done by placing 100 seeds on a wet blotter or wet cloth In tlie bottom of a dinner plate or pie tin. Cover thl* seed with another wet blotter or wet cloth over which a second plate or pie tin. preferably a slightly smaller one, Is placed bottom Upward. Keep the Seed In a moderately warm room. At the end of fl v « 'lay* It should be possible to count the number of which have germinated. Krom 9f> to 98 per cent should ger mlnate. Oats to he used for seed should be fanned and graded. Very light grains frequently do not contain >t kernel and cannot terminate * v en If sown. Fanning and grad ng oats to the extent that only the very largest and plumpest jced* remain is not necessary. Fanning ami screening to remote weed seeds eauiiot lie overempha sized, ns the eradication of noxious weeds Is one of the most Important problems of agriculture In the Corn Belt today.

AVOID THE SMUT TAX

Treating Seed Oet* for Smut Piye Big Dividends. THE yield nnd quality of oats may be materially Increased hy treating the seed with fonualdvhyd* to control sintiL (tat smut takes a heavy toll each year. This can )>• almost out I rely prevented by scud treatment. The formaldehyde may be applied as a spray, a sprinkle or dtp. Th* epray method: Place th* seed to be treated on a dean barn floor or In a wagon box. Mix me pint of formaldehyde (37 per cent by weight) with hup pint of water and pour Into u quart spray er. Till* amount of solution will treat .*>0 bushel* of oat*. If a smaller quantity of seed In to be treated uac a proportionately amall«r quantity of the solution. Shovel the out* from one pile to another, at the same time spraying each shovelful. After the oats are sprayed cover the heap of seed with canvas or sack* which also have been sprayed with the solution. Allow the cover to remain five hours, when the oats may be haggl'd or sown. A modification of this method which consists of using oil* pint of formaldehyde to ten gullous of water Is sometimes used Apply hy spraying about one pint of the solution to each 5 bushels of seed In the manner described above for the half and half solution. In applying the spray treatmentz care must be exercised to avoid Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat hy the formaldehyde vapor. Th# sprinkle method. This Is a time tried and effective method, i'he seed Is placed In a idle as for the spray method. Make up a solution hy adding ona plat of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of water Apply the solution with sprinkling can at the rate of about I galloti to each busbol of seed, the oats being shoveled from one pile to another. Then shovel the ost* Into n pile and cover n» In the epray method. The covers should remain on for at least two hour*, or as lung as over night. The seed I* then spread out to dry sufficiently to permit sowing or bagging. The dip method: This method Is essentially the same as the sprinkling method Just described, ezeept that the seed Is dipped directly into the solution until every sect Is wet, Instead of being sprinkled. For the sprinkle and dip methods car# should be exercised to avoid freezing of the wet seed sad to prevent boating. Surplus seed treated with formaldehyde may be fed to farm ant male without Injury, provided It hat been spread out and aired for a few days.

Method* of Seeding Oata A CONSIDERABLE acreage of Kill .* sown bruadcajK IS the Corn bell, elpecl ally OB disked corn ztubble. Irperltnontal mil* lodicaw that, slight)? higher hvtrugv yields may be expected, ran. drilling titan from broadcast* mg. The udv&ntuges of drilling! are* ih« most economical and uniform distribution of the seed. A 1 more even germination, and a! more uniform stand. On a wetlj procured, moist seed bed from L to I't Inches# Is sutliclent depth for oats. Troetmsnt ef Oats After Sstdinff IN THE Corn Belt usually no treatment 1* given outs after the ert.p I* sown.

Large seeds which de-, velop with the crop often can b«, removed ud>antagcuiisl) by pulling, or cutting. Preventing the spread of noxious weeds should more than repays the cost of such removal. ‘ Whan and Hew to Harvest Oats' OATS are ready for harvesting j wbwu the kernels are In the hardi dough stage This ta ut about the tliu* the pan lot** turu yellow.
