HEAVY SELLING
 FOR SHORT ACCOUNT Cotton Market Opens Weak at IA 10 q Points Decline THE BULLS OFFER SUPPORT After a Rally the Market Turns Less Active and Shows Declining
 Tendency During the Re-
 mainder of the Session

New work November 2.-The cotton market opened weak at decline of l4Q 21 points and showed some little further decline on the call under liquidation anu selling for short account which was pro- noted by lower cables than expected pet- ter weather than predicted, continued tuii receipts and reports that the far east ern situation was assuming less laVor- able aspect
 Right after the call, however, the bulls came to the support of the market, and prices were rallied to within to 10 points of Saturdays finals. Afterwards the mar ket turned less active and during the bal ance of the session showed rather a de- cining tendency, working back toward the low level of the day until just before the close when there was a slight rally on the heavy exports. The market was finally steady, net IA to 20 points lower. Sales were estimated at 5O0OOO bales.
 The chief activity was at the opening and just before the close The mid-ses- sion was generally quiet and without special feature, owing to the holiday to- morrow. This had the effect of cur tailing public operations and the trading consequently seemed mostly for profess sional account A feature of the after noon wassthe selling of a large room op- orator, who was liquidating long cotton and after those offerings had been ab- sorbed the market steaded up. Port re- ceipts for the day reached 66,234 bales against 61,42s bales last year. but were In turn exceeded by the exports which reached S6,141 bales. The southern spot markets were rather irregular but gener- ally a little easier.
 Wilmington was 21s points higher, while the other ports were generally unchanged to 14 lower.

"AlI Flesh is Grass"

The people of this country must be ted and well fed. As matter of fact the American people are the best fed people in the world, and as a result of good feeding they are the best people in the world. With all their faults we have more good men, good women and good children than any other nation, and at the next census we will have several millions more of the same sort. To large extent men are made of the food they eat. It is the same with animals as men-good feeding makes good cattle. horses, sheep, hogs and fowls. Good feeding cannot be pur- sued for many generations without

 The school question is one that will have to be handled here now pretty soon, as the attendance at the school is increasing so rapid ly that 1t will in the near future become necessary to provide more room and another teacher. There is no doubt but that the present teacher has more to do even now than one person should be asked to do, and the room is fast be- coming inadequate. It was pro- posed at the last meeting of the Farmers club that the school matter be taken up and discussed at an early date and see if some conclusion could not be reached as to what was best to be done. It is hoped that something of a definite nature will be done be- cause the school children must be looked after, and the sooner the better.

IMPERIAL SOIL Result of an Analysis Made by Dr. Jones, of the University
 of California

Dr. F. c. Jones, of the Univer- sity of California, Berkeley, was in town this week in company with several others and was busy during his stay making analysis of the soil throughout the valley for the benefit of the prospective settlers who were with him. Dr. Jones is recognized as an author ity in chemistry and his state ment regarding soils and their ingredients may be counted upon as correct. Last Friday some soil was brought to him by MT. E.. H. Harrington, taken from twelve or fourteen post holes that he was digging near the center of the town, and tue following is the analysis of the dirt:
 Some silt, some sand and lit tie clay; no black alkali; just a little trace of white alkali; an abundance of phosphorous- enough to crop wheat for 1000 years. Very rich in potash. Lime, just enough; rather short on Humus, but that is always so in arid regions and can be in- creased by maturing or blowing under any vegetable matter. Just a small trace of salt; adaptability to holding moisture very good.
 It has always been said that Imperial townsite had the worst soil in the valley and we are not aware that Dr. Jones found ally that was not superior to 1t, but still we do not see what better could be asked for than this which was tested. Think of having soil impregnated with enough phosphorus to crop wheat for nearly twenty genera tionS.

 George A. Carter was chosen president and H. E. Allatt, secre-, tary and treasurer. A committee was appointed to draft consti- tuition and bylaws. Traps and blue rocks have been ordered and the club will immediately get in trim to meet all corners. There is likely to be lively time in the future as Calexico has a gun club which is considerable above the average and they will be only too glad to shoot with Imperial any time.
 Up to noon today there had been a number of names added to the list of members and quite a large enrolment is expected. A meeting of the club will be held. at an early date and every mem Der should be present.
 Don't forget the Farmers Club meeting at the Church next Tues day evening.
 There are propects that there will be great amount of build ing going on in Imperial in the next six months.
 Tree planting should be the order of the day. Now is an ex- cellent time to improve your property, and these improvements will tend to make your land or lots more valuable, so from that standpoint alone it were worth your while to make a start in that direction.
 Editor N. c. Gonzales, of Col umbus, s. C., died at p. m. last Monday from the effects of the effects of the bullet wound he re- reived from Lieutenant Governor Tillman.

improving the blood. Hence the im- portance of growing an abundance of forage crops. Without forage but lit- tie live stock can be kept and that lit tie will be poorly fed. Without live stock pro6tably fed the people will not prosper, and cannot feed themselves properly, and will cease to improve and ultimately deteriorate. Forage is food for live stock; livestock is food for man. Hence indirectly but truly, for age and feed crops are beef, milk, pork, mutton, fowls and eggs-the foods for man, and in the case of horses these feeds become power with which to make more feed. Don't neg lect the feed crops. None other are of as much importance. Farm and Ranch.
