Oats Fails After Sensational
Advance of over

OMAHA. Anril II. 1907

OMAHA. April H. 1907
Fluctuations in wheat we're narrow In
market Of large volume Northwest re-
celpts were large, clearances were heavy
and higher cables in sympathy with the
advance here yesterday caused hrmness in
all grains. Some pressure was evident in
the corn market, although regessiuns were
small Oats we're the feature OF the market
and a sharp rise In May options was made
only TO be lost in part on a later reaction.
Wheat opened firm at the strong closing
prices OF yesterday and the volume Of
trading was large. Strong cables caused
hrmness in prices, although there was no
change In the cash market Prices eased
on on later trading, but the general tone
was hrm and there was evidently good
buying by the non-professional public.
weather conditions we're not chang ma
terlAlly and little news was received as to
the crop situation In the southwest. Bug
stories were Ahoat In the usual number,
but they have been discounted and will not
AFFECT the market further unless operations
are extended. The future course Of the
market will be determined principally by
weather conditions The close was weaker
but with an advance Of Nc In May options.
Corn opened stronger on limited trading
ana good buying was reported. May OPP
tons we're a little easier and there was
little news to affect the Y arket
oats we're the important factor and prices
were steady at the opening. May oats
opened at &c bid, and advanced 1hc In a
the large short interest which has been
made. The effort was partially, futile, as
prices receded to near the opening figures
and the CLOSE was weak July and Septem-
Der options did not respond to the mani
pulatsd rise Ia the May options, but scored
slight advance May options declined
1870 from the high point OF the day and
closed at a net loss OF Nc from the open
ing figures.
Primary wheat receipts were IA, 0OC
bushels and shipments 25S, Co., against re-
ceipts last year of 2s, 900 bushels and ship
ments OF $4,000 bushels. Corn receipts

Potato Scsb.

Bulletin al Of the Maine agricultural
experiment station, discusses potato scah,
subject OF extreme importance to potato
growers.
The real cause Of scab il . minute vsge-
table parasite which is introduced into til
soil largely by means Of scabby sse0
tubers. Once in the soil, the scab fungus
may persist and be able to infect CROP
even after considerab BILE period. Alkaline
soil conditions favor while acid soils are
unfavorable to scab. Stable manure, chip
dirt, lime and wood ashes may increase
scab because they tend to make the soil
alkaline.
Great care should be taken to avoid in
fecting new land. The use Of scabby SOD
is folly rather than economy. Only
smooth tubers should be used for planting,
and these should be disinfected by forma-
lin or corrosive sublimate solution II the
quantity to be treated is small. II q large
amount of seed is to be treated, form
aldehyde gas generated by the use of
potassium permanganate is recommended.
The chemicals required are not expensive
and should be obtained of any druggist.
The process is simple and inexpensive.
Full directions for disinfecting seed
tubers, as we'll as suggestions for the
management Of land already infested with
which may be obtained free by all resi-
dents of Maine who apply to the agrical-
tural experiment station, Orono.
