NEW YORK, February 1I.-There was

today. United States Steel and Union
Pacific had wide openings. the latter de-
clining a maximum of e on sales Of sew
eral thousand shares, and Steel falling Il.
Missouri Pacific lost a point but quickly
recovered to u over last nights close.
Chesapeake and Ohio dropped is.
Speculation was nervous and with a
Yielding tendency. Following the opening
there was a general Improvement, in
which Chesapca and Ohio made up its
initial loss, but the higher prices brought
out more abundant offerings and the
market sagged sharply.
Some Losses Regained.
Reading, United States Steel and Union
Pacific were sold extensively, but these
issues and the market in general re-
turned to last nights level or above
before the expiration of the hour. Mis-
souri, Pacific rebounded from 56l4 to IS.

The feature of the market during the
morning session was its resistance to
continued selling. in contrast with the
marked weakness displayed yesterday
under similar conditions. Bear pressure
was met with support of a significant
character and the shorts hastily covered,
carrying prices substantially above yes
terday's closing.
Made Substantial Gains.
Some selling was induced by the an
Houncement of the illness of a leading
capitalist. but when an authoritative
statement was issued declaring that it
was not of u serious nature, the upward
movement assumed greater Roadway
Stocks in which the family interest is
reported to be very large were the
strongest in the list. Amalgamated Cop
per, New York Central and st. Paul

Bonds were steady.
Moderate prorit-taking caused an aver
age reaction of about half point In
the favorite stocks, but there was no
sign of the early nervousness.

BEEF FOR COTTON PLANTER
Some Sort Of Diversified Farming
Plan Will Tend Towards Better
and More Reliable Results.

The cotton planter Of the south, who
has been looking in vain for years Tor
some relief from the ravages OF the
boil weevil, and for \ more certain
money crop, owes 1t to himself to
consider we'll his equipment for rails
ing and feeding beef cattle, and the
deslrability Of his embarking in that
business at this time.
The cotton crop for some time has
been far from a sure crop, and the
south needs today, as never before,
some sort of diversified farming plan
that will tend towards better and
more consistent results. Cotton can
not be depended upon year in and
year out as in the earlier days Grain
farming alone will not only not main
tain the fertility Of the soil, but in the
end win ruin it. And not all of the
south is adapted to grain growing.
With more equitable climate, with
natural grasses abundant the year
around, with sufficient grain feed
raised, live stock growing should be
profitable in practically all sections
of the south. The only obstacle Is the
prevalence of the fever tick, and the
work Of tick eradication is being
pushed in all the southern states will
much progress and there is much rea
son to believe that in very few
wears the tick will be confined to small
and scattered localities.
Okolona messenger., 1911-11-23
penetrate the soil in the south depend
upon the depth Of the plowing.

penetrate the soil in the south depend
upon the depth Of the plowing.
1t has been proved without question
that the roots Of plants penetrate the
soil deeper and feed deeper in deeply
plowed land. Thus, in general, it may
be stated that when the soil is plowed
three inches deep the plants have
three inches Of food. when plowed six
inches deep they have six inches OF
food, and when plowed ten Inches
deep they have ten inches of food.
The fact that the bottom Of the plowed
land is not as rich in available plant
food as the top portions shows the ne
cessity of getting more air and heat
down to them by deeper tillage.
The soil requirements most essen
tial to the growth Of plants are heat
and moisture. Deep breakage in
sures air and heat at greater depth.
For plants to do their best there
must be in the soil constant supply
of moisture, SO that a film Of watel
can envelop the soil particles and alb
sorb nutritive elements. The hair
roots Of plants drink this for nourish
ment. II there is any more thar
enough to serve as films for the sol
particles and capillary water, there II
too much, and it should be drained

BOIL WEEVIL IS A BLESSING
FRYHOFER DECLARES PEST WILL
FORCE DIvERSIFICATION.
Has Aided Farmers in Other States, So
Why Not in Mississippi?-Relates
Humorous Incident Of Trip.

Jackson.-George w. Fryhofer, real
estate auctioneer, arrived in Jackson
from the North Wednesday.
He entered the state at Clarksdale and
came through the Delta. He says he is
uncertain about the population OF the
state, but the eight millionth man yes
terday told him about the boil weevil.
He says:
II think it shame and almost in
gratitude to make such wall about
pest that has been a great benefit to
every section of the country it has
passed through. The live farmers and
planters are readiusting themselves and
will be more prosperous for the change
Those who follow the old methods will
lose out any way in these progressive
times. The boil weevil seems to have
left the cotton and gotten into the mer-
chants brain. I heard a rebuke to a
merchant in YazoO City that was really
good. One of the livest real estate men
in Yazoo City, who continues to flour
ish and sell real estate, regardless OF
being impeded by people who stop him
on the street and tell him how bad bus
mess is, went into store to buy suit
The merchant, by habit and without
thought, got into the boil weevil whine
This young real estate man, with the
money in his pocket to buy suit, coulC
not bear to listen to what had been sale
over and over and interrupted by saying
4 came in here to buy suit and have
the money to pay for it. If you thinl
auch talk from you helps business yol
are mistaken, and just to show you,
am not going to buy the suit / hav
picked out A few wholesome rebuke
like that would make business NOR
healthy.
"With this change which is bein
forced on Mississippi, the state is des
tined to be the greatest agriculture
producing state in the Union. Planter
are doing themselves and their childre
an injustice by selling land for 500 an
500 per acre, which is worth 5000 pc
acre, and thinking they are lucky in III
loading what they consider poor red cla
soil at SIS and $40 per acre, when thi
soil, properly handled, and with tn
generous climate of Mississippi, is wort
$1Oo per acre."
