DRAINAGE CONVENTION.

Important Changes Asked for
in Resolutions Legislature
VIII be Asked to Promote
Work by Providing for Teach
ing in Schools.
The third annual convention
Of the North Carolina Drainage
Association. held in Wilmington
last Tuesday and Wednesday,
was attended by from $50 to 200
delegates from about Is counties
in the State. At the first days
session addresses were made by
Senator F. NJ. Simmons, Con.
gresham Jno. H. Small and
others. In responding to the ad-
dress of welcome President J. A.
Brown of Chadbourn spoke of
the Importance of drainage. He
said that North Carolina is now
entering upon an era of pros
perity and advancement and it is
imperative that all swamp and
waste lands be reclaimed as soon
as possible and used for agricul-
tural purposes. AS an illustra-
ton of the value of drainage he
cited the fact that in the Chad
pourn district last year a suf-
ticient amount of money was
made to pay the cost of draining
an entire district; and what has
been done in the Chadbourn dis
trict can be done in other sections
Of the State.
Mr.. F. F. Wetmore of Lumber
ton, engineer in charge of the
Robson county drainage district,
told Of what is being done in this
county in the drainage of Back
and Jacob swamp. Mr.. Wetmore
said he thought there should be
some change in the law requiring
summons in person on all land
owners not signing the petition
for the district; thatit is impossi-
BILE in some instances, owing to
the fact that some of the land is
in contr oversy, to find all the
owners, and he suggested an
amendment permitting service
of summons by publication where
the parties cannot be found.
The convention came to an end
with a trip down the Cape Fear
river Wednesday, a business
session being held on the boat.
Congressman Small, chairman of
the committee on resolutions, Of

animously adopted urging the

THE WHOLESOME ASPARAGUS

The spring markets, with all their
fresh, inviting products of Mother
Earth, bring nothing else at once so
delicately and delightfully."- favored
and so incidentally valuable as aspara-
gus.
Baked Asparagus.
Wash two small bundles of aspara-
gus until perfectly free from sand, and
stand them upright in kettle of water,
leaving the tended tips uncovered; in
this way the steam will cook the tips
while the boiling water is. making the
stalks tender, and the former will not
be cooked to pieces, as is too frequent
1y the case. When done, drain and
cut into small pieces, removing only
the toughest portion of the ends. To
each two cupfuls Of asparagus add an
equal amount of grated bread crumbs,
two tablespoonfuls Of butter, one cup
full of milk, one-ha1f teaspoonfu1 Of
salt and three or four dashes of pep
per. Dust wel1-buttered mold light
1y with the crumbs, then arrange the
asparagus and crumbs in alternate
layers, dusting each with salt and
pepper, and dotting with little bits
Of butter. Have the last layer Of
crumbs, pour over the milk, and bake
in moderate oven twenty minutes.
Serve hot.

PART OF LOSSES IN
WHEAT Recovered
Bulls Give Support and Send
Prices Upward
CROP REPORTS BETTER
Corn Is Firm mt the Start Owing to
Advance in Wheat But Decline Fol-
Iows-Oats and Provisions
Close Slightly Lower

Chicago. March 30--Leading bulls
supported the wheat market today and
much of yesterdays loss was regained,
prices ut the close showing net gains
of nc to ssc to &C. Coarse grain
and provisions closed heavy.
Trading in the wheat pit was only
moderately active and sentiment was
bullish much of the time. Several of
the most prominent bulls were fair bid
ders for wheat on the theory that the
selling of the previous session had
been overdone and shorts were also ac-
tive buyers during the carly part of
the day. The bulk of trading was in
the September delivery which showed
a range of l cent. Other options moved
over range of &c and ssc to &c. The
market opened firm with prices UP
Is q Nc to %@7sc. the bulge being due
chiefly to the absence of any great
amount of rain In Kansas despite the
official predictions of general rains for
the winter belt. September opened at
s1.O55s @1.O5h and July at s1.0sh a
1OSss Toward the middle of the day
September had moved up to s1.06s and
July TO $1.08A GLOSS. Crop reports
were again conflicting, although many
of them told of favorable conditions
for the new crop. Liberal receipts at
all primary points in this country in
spired some selling in the final half
of the day, resulting in setback in
prices. The close, however, was firm
with SEPTEMBER at s1.c5ss 1861 and
July at $1.0Sss.
The early strength of wheat was
largely responsible for considerable
firmness in the corn market at the
start, although light offerings of the
country also eXerted a bullish effect.
Before the end of the first hour the
market had yielded to moderate SELL
ing based on the continued slackness
of demand by eastern shippers for the
cash grain. Although demand for cash
corn was rather poor prices Were
steady to Nc higher, No. 2 yellow sell

lures closed heavy at almost the low

and 631s @6S5sc and closed at 627s q

Oats were inclined to be weak near
lY all day, owing to moderate sales
by commission houses and longs. Re-
ports of early seeding had a bearish
effect on the market. The close was

Hubbard Bros. & Co... Letter

New York, March 30-(Speclal. To-day s
market was a distinctly nervous one, due
to tho many conflicting reports from
Texas regarding the amount of moisture
received throughout that state. Early
buying of the fall deliveries brought a
sharp advance, the market gradually sink
ing off under fresh reports of good rains.
Until the official reports are received to-
morrow it is impossible to say just how
much relief came to the very dry part
of Texas but apparently in the SOUTH
vest, which needs II most, received little
help.
Old crop months were more strongly
in evidence, the exchange of Aprils at a
premium over May being the feature the
idea being to place that month at such a
premium as to attract cotton from the
south to be re-delivered on May. This
caused nervous longs to liquldate some of
their holdings.
Unless Texas has had good rainfall to-
day the market should improve tomor-
row.

MORE RAINS IN TEXAS

New York, March 3o-Connlcting re-
the southwest and heavier offerings of
the near months impaired nervous tone
to the cotton market today and while f1uc-
tuations were more or less irregular the
general tendency was downward with
the close barely steady at net decline OF
TO 10 points.
The opening was steady at an advance
of 8 points on March, but generally
to 5 points lower in response to dis
turbing cables and news of rain in Texas
There was considerable scattered liouida-
ton. but. the weather map did not show
any precipitation of consequence and
shortly after the opening the market rail-
lied to a net advance of 8 to points or
covering and commission house buying
inspired by reports that the Texas rain
fall had not been sufficient to help the
drouth situation. Late on numerous ad-
vices indicating that whether or not pre-
cipitation had been heavy IT had been
quite general, checked the advance and
during the middle of the day prices de-
clined under renewed liquidation ana
selling of the near positions. One of the
prominent features during the middle OF
the day was the selling of April by local
spot interests against purchases of May.
but following these switches the offer
ings of May became heavy and the mar
ket closed at practically the lowest point
OF the day In consequence.
