 The Close Was Quiet
HOLDERS SHOWED TIMlOlTN

New York, July 23-The cotton market opened with prices to IS points higher, this being an indifferent response to strong early cables from Liverpool. The July and August contracts alone scored an advance of more than points, Soon after the open ing we'll nigh perfect crop accounts from every part of the South made their pres ence felt, as did excellent weather ac- counts. Predictions for the best weekly crop report from Washington received this year added to the timidity of holders, who finally turned about and un- loaded a considerable portion of their sta pie Light local and Southern bear specu- lation increased the heayiness of the mar ket near midday.
 Not only did the new crop deliveries make full reaction, but sank several points be- low Saturdays closing before the selling movement subsided- Nearly every broker present had selling orders, but those for the smaller part were called upward on the theory that firmness in Liverpool would cause our market to advance fully F to 20 points.
 The bull spurt in the English market was charged up to New Orleans buying orders, which, in turn, stampeded foreign. shorts and stimulated bull speculation. Late operations on change were of a local, evening-up character, and small at that. Prices followed a narrow rut throughout. The close was quiet with prices net 10 points higher to 8 lower.

safe to embark in wheat growing ex-
clusively, unless provision is made for
tiding over the years of low prices and
poor crops.
There is no question that the Inland
Empire is eminently adapted to growing
wheat. We believe no other section in
the world can beat it. 1t is therefore
safe to assume that wheat raising will
always DO prominent feature of farm.
ing in that section, and probably should
be. But that it will continue to be the
sole feature is too much to expect. No
soil on earth will produce good crops in
definitely without some attention to its
fertility The factors of plant growth
are light, heat, moisture, air and miner
al plant food. For every pound to
growth plant makes, several hundred
pounds of water must pass up through
the plant and evporate from its leaves.
In order that the soil may furnish this
water, it must bave texture that will
enable it to hold large amounts of water.
1t must also be p rous enough to admit
some air or the roots of tie growing crop
are smothered. Now the most impor-
tant factor in soil texture is the decay
ing organic matter it contains. 1t is this
that makes the Palouse country soil por-
Gus enough to permit air and water to
enter it readily, and enables the soil to
retain the water till it is needed by
crops. When the soil was first broken
up, it contained large amounts OF plant
roots; the surface portion consisted
largely OF decayed leaves and stems of
grasses and other plants. But with the
system OF farming in vogue the amount
of this organic matter has been steadily
decreasing until now it frequently oc-
ours that rain does not enter the soil
readily, but runs over the surface cut
ting it into small ravines. With roll
ing surface. such as that Of the Palouse
prairies, this is very serious matter.
Again, the mineral plant TODD which the
crop must secure from the soil comes
very largely from the rottng of organic
matter in the soil. Hence. as the
amount OF this organic matter decreases,
crops will grow less and less, and will
finally reach a low level. 1t will then be
necessary to change the system OF farm
ing, SO that the organic matter formerly
in the soil may be restored to it.
