Farmer Seed Company, Faribault, Minnesota. IMPROVED WHITE BUSSIAN OATS-These ele- gant Oats, although quite extensively grown In some sections, are not receiving the attention they deserve. Some farmers who are not acquainted with the Russian Oats have ah idea that it Is a very late Oats, and risky to grow, because it used to be so years ago. We have seen It ripen near Chicago over two weeks later than the Common White Barley Oats, and one farmer was afraid It would not ripen before winter. This was when it was first introduced. But since then it (has become so thor- oughly acclimated that it will ripen not more than 4 to 0 days later than our earliest Oats here in Minnesota, and proves to be of the .greatest value. If a large acreage of oats is put in It is always better to sow two kinds, an early and a late variety, so that the last Oats to cut will not get overripe and shell out and thus incur a heavy loss. And for a second early Oats our Improved White Russian Oats is best adapted. About two or three days after the Early Oats are harvested the White Russan is ready to be cut, and thus avoid getting crowded with work.
