Loss Due To Carelessness In Oat Crops

The article urges farmers to prevent oat losses from poor shocking and standing oats by timely stacking. It argues careful handling can increase yields, estimating one extra bushel per acre multiplies income across 30 million acres, a $10 million gain. It asks if farmers will adopt the practice.

Oats in the South and Efficient Harvesting

The article argues high yields on smaller plots are easier than modest yields on larger ones. It covers land prep, self-binder use, team speed, mower methods, stacking, and timely threshing. Emphasizes rationing, proper feeding, and the value of saved straw before rain.

Varieties of oats and local notes from Elgin

A survey of oat varieties advises consulting state experiment stations to identify locally suitable, tested seeds and to keep seed pure using a seed patch. The page also covers town news including residents' movements, a hospital appendix operation, obituaries, local commerce, canning factory progress, and holiday greetings.
