Types of Oats Although the side headed varie- ' ties of oats are often showy in ap- r pearance they are not normally as good yie1d.ers as the branching headed sorts, remarks John Buch- anan of the O.A.C. department of eld husbandry. They lodge more easily, and in lodging have a ten- dency to knuckle over, which makes it impossible for them to straighten afterward and prevents free flow of food to the head, re- sulting in light oats. Furthermore, they are thicker in hull and more susceptible to rust and smut. 0.A.U. autnormes re- commend washing out with 'a strong solution of lye, followed by ` n`4\nIn vol-av ' I VINE uuauvu clear water.

Not 3 Hold Up The impression is fairly current, not only in the cities but even in the country, that co-operative sales organizations, pools, etc., are primarily semi-monopolistic schemes for forcing up prices.
