rec-ommended also as one of the crops to sup-plant some of the wheat acreage.  \nOats are grown primarily to completerotations and to meet food requirements for animals on farms.The high nutritivevalue of oats as food for dairy cows,sheep,horses,and young animals is fully appre-ciated by stockmen.In many sections ofthe West where little corn is produced,oats constitute one of the most importantconcentrate feeds for farm animals.  \nThe yields and grain quality of oats arefair to good in most western areas.Thenorthern and central irrigated areas areespecially favorable for this crop.  \nOn the basis of topography,the westernhalf of the United States that lies west ofthe 98th meridian may be divided into theGreat Plains,the Rocky Mountain andintermountain,and the Pacific coast areas(fig.1).  \nOat straw is of considerable value forroughage and bedding and for litter forpoultry.Fall-sown oats are an importantpasture crop in many Texas and Oklahomasections.  \nSeveral oat sections are recognized with-in each of these areas.Irrigation is prac-ticed in parts of the areas.Certain sectionsof all areas grow red oat varieties almostexclusively.Spring oats are grownthroughout the western region,but oatsmay also be fall-sown in the southern GreatPlains and in the Pacific coast area.  \nThe western half of the United Statesproduces slightly more than one-tenth ofthe national oat crop.In acreage,oats,however,rank next to wheat and equal tobarley among the cereal crops grown inthat region.Acreage of oats is increasingwith the distribution of
