mand is mainly for quick deliveries OF
staple lines. Stocks are limited and
buyers complain of difficulty in placing

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Oct. 23.-The cotton market
opened firm with prices l to points
higher, and continued to work upward
for a brief period after the call on bull
ing and a furry of room covering. for
the most part the result of light receipts
in the South, and rumors that Chicago
interests were bulls on cotton. However
before midday the scare of the bears
gave place 70 a return of former aggres-
sive short selling. The cables from
Liverpool, public and private. indicated
reluctance on the part of the trade there
TO follow the American rise. In the af-
ternoon the market displayed weakness
and prices ran downward rapidly under
vigorous bear pressure, active liquida
tion and some foreign selling. The South
and local traders were heavy sellers at
the close. Total sales were estimated at
225. 900 bales.

New Orleans, Oct. 23.-The spot cotton
market was quiet but steady. Quota

Futures opened 2 to points up under
the influences of the Improvement in
Liverpool, and worked up 1 to 2 points
additional. In sympathy with New York,
prices declined : to 8 points and con-
tirued steady throughout the remainder
of the day. There was free trading in
January and March, but very little in
the other positions. January seems to be
the favorite month for bull manipulation,
but it went down along with the others.
At the close, the list showed net losses
of to points.

THOROUGH CULTIVATION.

It's Aims and Results In Irrigation
Practice In Dry Summer Resions.
The prevailing motive for cultivation
i'm the dry summer region of the Pacif-
ic coast is moisture retention. In this
respect good surface filth is so effec-
tive that, though enough moisture can
not be retained without it, SO much
can be retained with it that even where
irrigation or rainfall is moderate in
amount it may serve all purposes OF
the tree or vine. Thus cultivation en-
tiers into the fruit growers practice
in the region under consideration not
to make large rainfall effective, as 1t
does in some parts of the Pacific coast
region, but to make moderate rainfall
effective or to make small irrigation
effective by increasing the duty of wa
ter which is applied. 1t becomes not
only a ruling consideration in the eff
fectiveness of a certain amount OF
rainfall, but it also determines the sue
cess of irrigation and the amount OF
water required, for, although it was an
early and rude practice to rely upon
irrigation to support uncultivated fruit
trees and to irrigate more and more
frequently as the ground became hard
er from it's use, this policy has now no
standing in commercial fruit growing.
Not only was it wasteful Of water, but
it was otherwise detrimental to the
thrift of trees.
Thorough cultivation both in winter
and summer has other very important
ends in view. 1t opens the soil and
promotes aeration; it encourages deep
err roofing and thus encourages the
tree to take possession of a greater
soil mass both for moisture and other
plant food. 1t Is part of very valu-
able policy of increasing humus by
blowing under the natural growth OF
weeds or specially sown legHnes. This
increases the amount of organic mat
ter in the soil, adds new plant food,
promotes the friability Of heavy soils
and the retentiveness of light soils and
is otherwise valuable.
Green manuring in some parts of the
region is done by blowing in winter
growths in the spring. In the locaE-
ties where summer growth Of alfalfa
as a soil cover is advocated as sub
stitute for cultivation, cutting the crop
without removing it, but allowing it to
disintegrate in place, is held by some
growers to be additional protection to
the soil surface and some addition to
it's supply of plant food.-E. ]. Wick
