I.-- The low price of oats is due to the fact that they can ‘be so easily grown. They are sowu in the West especially on fall- plowed land, or after corn without any spring plowing. If the season is favorable this easily produces a good crop. But when we consider what the oats take from the soil. it is found that this easily-grown crop is very nearly the most expensive that the farmer can sow. Cat roots fill the soil much more thoroughly than does any other spring grain, not excepting wheat. The oat leaf is not broad, and if it were the plant is not one of the kind to extract from the air the nitrogenous elements with which the grain is filled. We do not wonder, l therefore, that many Eastern farmers are droppingoatsout of the rotation. If itisnot convenient for them to buy what oats they feed, they can grow enough for home use.
