October Time j
For Seeding
01 Fall Oats \
' ~ ?
Tests conducted by the North
Oarolina Experiment Station
show that oats seeded in early Oc
tober produce yields twice as
high asthose seeded in mid-No
vember, according to W. H. Ran
kin and G. K. Middleton, agrono
mists ior the station.
In the tests, seedings made be
tween October 1-15 produced 59
bushels per acre, while seedings
made on November 15 produced
only 30 bushels.
The agronomists point out that
the number of days favorable to
soil preparation is quite limited
after November 1. Rain and wet
soil, both typical of this period,
make late seeding almost impos
' sible. Late .seeding;* also art* more
vulnerable t<* early freezes.
Variety as well a5 seeding da-tc
| is important in producing good |
! small grain yieids, say Rankin]
and Middleton. Atlas 50 and 66
.wheat are recommended in Coas
tal Plain and Piedmont areas and
Thome wheat is recommended in
the mountains. Arlington oats are
recommended throughout the
State for fall seedings. Victor
grain and Fulgrain are good ear.
ly varieties tor Piedmont and
coastal areas. As ,for barley, Col
onial and Calhoun are suggested.
Nitrogen should be applied to
small grain between February 15
and March 15 for maximum re
sults. The suggested rate is. 30
pounds per acre, which can be ob
tained from 188 pounds of nitrate
of soda, 150 pounds of Cal-Nltro
of ANL, at 94 pounds of ammon
ium nitrate. Top-dTessing after
March 15 is too late to get maxi
mum number and size of seed
seads. ?
