Munich Fliegende Blaetter. j "Winter grain may be sown on land
! which produced a crop of cotton.corn
or cowpeas the past Summer. If
this land has not already been plow
ed, it will be . better to make the sur
face soil fine and loose with the disk
or drag harrow than to delay seed
ing by plowing now. Better results
are obtained from sowing with the
drill than from broadcast seeding,
though if a drill is not available sow
ing the seed broadcast on well-pre
pared land usually results in a good
stand. "If the preceding crop was well
fertilized, 100 to 200 pounds of acid
phosphate will be all that the oats
require this Fall, though a little ni
trate of soda will help the Fall
growth, . especially if the soil is not
already well supplied with nitrogen
from the growing of cowpeas or
some-other legume. A top-dressing
of 50 to 100 pounds of nitrate of
aoda applied when growth starts in
thoSpring will greatly increase the
yield.
"The variety of Winter oats most
commonly grown in the South is red
rustproof. Appier, Lawson, Hundred
Bushel, Bancroft and Cook are se
lections or strains -- of red rustproof
which are sand to be particularly val
uable in some localities.. The Fulg-
Iium" is a promising new variety
which matures a week or ten days
earlier than the red rustproof, and
usually produces as much or more
grain. As the kernels of all these
varieties are large, from two and one
half to three and one half bushels
sjld; be. sdwn to the acre. The
llerf quantity is sufficient if the
seed is drilled early on well-prepared
land, while three bushels or more arc
needed when the seed is sown broad
cast late in the season. The Winter
turf or Virginia gray is a very hardy
variety which is valuable for pasture
or hay production, but "which does
not yield as much grain in the South
era States as the red rustproof. On
account of the small size of the
kernels, only one and one half
bushels of seed of this variety is re
quired."

this morning Mrs. Jenks made the
following official announcement:
"With a brilliant charge about
