"An acre ?rf corn that will produce about 20. bushels ? f shelled grain will yield about 240 pounds of cured fodder One man ?n the average can strip -1(10 pounds -r,f fodder per day.

"Generally these feed oats ar < ?ro wn in northern states, are not adapted to the S-uth, will winter kill easily and their chief claims foi seed purpose are that they loot ?ether nicfe and are probably -:heap or than good, viable seed oats fro*? the seed store. T^e man wh:> plant feed oats instead of seed uats . wil* get a p^sor yield." Mr. Kime states that the man whe buys his from a reliable sourcf may piobabiy pay 50 cents more ner bushel for them but he knows that he- is . securing . the variety wanted and he may assure himself that they were grown in the Ssuth. Such a man will get a Rood yield next spring. "In a test conducted by research agronomist of State College, we found that improved home grown eed yielded 4">.t> bush?ls per acre while commercial feeding 0at? yield ed enly 28.2 bushels per acre," s?.ys Mr. Kime. "This is a difference of 17.4 bu-- he's in favor of using home grown, improved seed oats. Only southern grown oats should be. bought for seed purposes and if pcssible improved strains ought to be secured. Unfortunately the sup ply of improved seed- is r.rt sufficient to meet the demand."
