GRASSES To GROW
ON AR|D PLAINS

N. E. Hansen, agricultural explorer
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, arrived on the steamship
China yesterday from the Orient. He
has been on mission for the depart
ment, touring the Orient to ascertain
the plants grasses and shrubs that
will thrive best in the colder desert
regions of North America. He brought
a large quantity of seeds of hundreds
of varieties, which, he says. will thrive
and make the arid plains of the
United States blossom like rose
Hansen left Washington, D. c.. on
July II last. He first went to England
and then to Denmark. Lapland, ST.
Petersburg, Siberia and Vladivostok.
During the trip he was getting seeds
and plants which he feels will meet
the requirements needed for grass
growing and cattle feeding in cold
regions of this country. In speaking
OF his travels, he said:
Il have certainly made fast trip,
but I have been a traveller all my life,
and l know how to economize time. I
had been in Siberia several times be-
fore, but not quite on the mission that
took me there this time.
Il have brought thousands of seeds
that l am sure will thrive and grow
in our cold districts where the rigors
of the winter are the most severe. l
am going at once to Washington to
make my report, and later | expect
to go to the northwest territory to
experiment in planting the seeds that
| think will thrive best. The result
of this work will be TO make the Amer
lean deserts smaller.
There is no reason why these des-
erts of ours should not be covered with
grasses and trees in the same way as
Northern Siberia is covered.

clothing scholars in the world, men who have
attained the degree of Bachelor of Arts" in

THE EXPERIMENTATION LINE S
New Service on the Nile.

Several months ago the announce ment was made by the Hamburg American line that a further ex- tension of the company's numerous services was contemplated by the es- tablishment of a first class service on the Nile. for which number of new vessels were to be built suitable for the passenger and freight traffic of that great river.
 Definite arrangements have now been made between the Hamburg American line and the Anglo-American Nile Steamer and Hotel company, whereby the latter company, which is already favorably known to the American travelling public for It's efficient service, increases its capital stock and passes over large share of the same to the Hamburg-Ameriean line.
 The new company will be known as the Hamburg and Anglo-American Nile company, and a number of new steam- CTS will be ordered at once to meet the present conditions of increased and continually growing travel to Egypt, as we'll as the demands of the Hamburg American line for a standard of ser vice equal to that of their many other lines.
 The agencies of the new company in Europe and America will be assumed by the Hamburg American line, and the latter will also be represented on the board of directors of the Nile Go.
 By this new arrangement a good part of the traffic on the Nile, hitherto en- tirely in English hands, will in the fu- ture come under the German flag.

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

The run of cattle was moderate. this
week, and there was comparatively
limited share Of killing stuff included
among the arrivals. Demand was
strong for beef, and more stuff was
needed than the buyers were able to get
together. =
:. There was practically no change in
same as TRY pneegsdin ne week aen
tically no test on the better grades of
steers, most of the offerings being of
the fair kind, selling largely at $4.25 to
$4.60. Some good yearlings sold at

of the grassy kind. Butcher and bo-
ing weeks decline. Veal calves were
strong, top being practically $3.50, with
some, sales at $4.75 to SIS. r. zs.5
The stocker and feeder market was
lifeless this week, and prices lower on
all grades. Demand in the country
was small, as was reflected by, absence
Of outside buyers and few orders in
hands Of dealers. The run was Of

cents. the break representing about a
rs to SO cent drop from the best time
of the preceding week. s.
The run of hogs was of fairly good
size, there being a good increase over
the supply of the preceding week. De.
mand was strong turnout, and the SEES
sions were active. Bacon hogs con

was represented by rather small dele

The Upward tendency of prices which
was the feature Of the market the pre-

days was good, but the week 8 average
was just fair to good. - ;.
While the supply Of sheep was rattle,

,on. The general opinion is that

very soon. The general opinion is that
something more favorable is to come
Whether the expectations of the bulls
will be realized remains to be seen, as
well. 1t is probable that the compare
tive strength of the stock is due in
great measure to the attempts of the
big short interest to cover. There was
very heavy selling of the stock in mid
week by firm which frequently exc
cutes for the Morgan and>Hill interests,
and this led to the belief that the legiti
mate move is practically at an end.
The shorts, however, may cause still
further rise in securities. 4.
The. comparative strength Of Balti-.

stock has been a comparative laggard
with others in the Pennsylvania group,
for some time. It is generally con-
coded that as a 5 per cent stock it is
absurdly low. At l12 it yields just
little less than AZ per cent upon the
investment, which is an exceedingly
favorable. showing compared with
others which return considerably less
and are selling at much higher figures.
No doubt the recent weakness in Penn
sylvania has restrained bullish opera
tions in Baltimore & Ohio, but it has
served also to build up short interest
in the latter. -. ---.
The consensus of opinion among
those with the best private information
on the: crops is that considerable i'm
provement in conditions hasa taken
place since the date of compilation of
the government figures. The. recent
reports Of crop damage and general de-
terioration are. regarded as effectually
refuted by the government statisticians,
and consequently a good deal of the
bear ammunition WAS lost. .-ss-.@

any advance, while the demand has
been slow, and in some cases weak, on

CONSUMPTION OF WHEAT

material increase in the area of land
used for wheat production. The paper
named says that it may be safely as as,
sumed that high prices for wheat. will
induce farmers to plant more Of the
cereal, and an etxetnsion Of wheat area
in the. semi arid districts may be ex-
pected, because it has been demon,
strated that dururn, or macaroni, wheat
can be produced with. less moisture than

mains that the wheat area in the United

essary to stimulate increased planting
