The harvesting of the beet crop Is

TO consider the selection of soil for the

Many farmers have already selected
their beet lands and others are debat.

use the best. The beet crop paws the
best, aud consequently 10 entitled to
the best, because results are what we
are looking for from our crops. The
soil must be in good condition.. other
wise the results will not be up to ex-
pectations. It is best to select good

crop, and the farmer will be rewarded

soil is rich in production, for a clean

give good results, as has been expert

GOOD BUYING
IN JULY OPTION
Weak at Opening on Bearish
Government Report-CioS.
ing Strong on Covering

MINNEAPOLIS Chamber of Commerce,
April 1.-THE trade took the govern
ment report as very bearish, even in
the face of a break of about 16c for the
recent high point for July, the condi-
ton of GIG is so very high that the
trade was prepared for further break
this morning. The bears started the
n arket off this morning cent lower
for May and k@5sc lower for July,
there was little covering by some of
the smaller scalpers on this weak open
ing which readily absorbed all Offer
ings and advanced prices little over
half a cent. The advance was met
with pretty free selling by some of the
larger operators and prices broke over
b cent, all options making new low
point on the crop. Up to within the
last hour the market continued to be
weak with a light trade, principally
among scalpers. The country is doing
little, if anything, in a speculative way,
and this adds to the general bearish
sentiment
During the noon hour, a better class
of buying was noticeable, especially in
the deferred options. This buying soon
absorbed the offerings and when the
shorts started to cover, they found the
market bare and had to begin to bid
for wheat, running the price up sharp
ly over cent and half from the low
point without bringing out much wheat,
the market closing strong and at about
the best price for the day. The cash
demand was poor in spite of the very
small receipts, less than a hundred cars
and the smallest for many months.
No. northern was the only grade that

JOHN w. GATES TAKES
CHARGE OF MAY DEAL

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Inter Ocean
says: The latest on the wheat deal
is that John W. Gates is help
ing his son out Charles w. Gates
the son. sailed for Europe last week.
During the absence of his father in Mex
leo the son handled the orders. OF late
the father has assumed the active man
agement- If he handles his wheat deal
with the same vim that has characterized
his operations in Wall street there is like
ly to be a deal the likes of which the
wheat traders have never seen. New York
sent the report yesterday that Gates was
selling stocks to have plenty of money
to use in the wheat deal. He is reputed
to have $75,000,0O and the men with
him have as much If not more. There has
been no such combination Of wealth ever
in a wheat deal, and those who know
Gates say they do not want to be short.
A feature of the deal is that there is
little If any profit in the pool holdings at
present. their wheat having been bought
from S1.0S to $1.1S. This is different from
having 1t at low point. The short seller
who welches on wheat sold at $1.10 or
better deserves no sympathy conSiderd
ton from any source. He sold the wheat
because he. considered the price high, and
that those who had il bought would not
be able to hold the price up He knew. or
should have known. that the Gates inter-
est was a large one and he was taking
great chances"
