COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, September. O.-The cot

10 points net higher during the first few
minutes in response to relatively firm
cables, reports of severe storms in west
Texas. and apprehension of cold weather
in the northern part of the belt. Private
advices, however, indicated that The
Texas storm had affected only a COM
heavy selling on the opening advance,
much of which seemed to. come from
leading spot interests.
This pressure and talk of free southern
hedge selling eased the market off to a
net loss of about to points before the
end of the first half hour. but after the
publication of the western belt forecas,
for unsettled and colder weather prices
rallied to about the closing figures of last

Motor Cars in Jerusalem.

Motor cars are quite common. too, and
it sometimes brought a laugh to the lips
to see solemn turbaned Turk or Arab
sheik in flowing caftan whirl by in a
handsome touring car of the latest model
Even the watering cart. exactly like
those you see in your own London
streets, have replaced the bearded Jew
with his goatskin of water, while an
alarm Of fire promptly brings out clat-
tering rush of petrol-driven engines, lad
der trucks and water towers of the most
improved patterns.
There is also an excellent system OF
water supply and drainage, and in all of
the hotels and in many of the houses the
porcelain bathtub is no longer an un-
known luxury. Reinforced concrete
plays large part in the construction of
the newer buildings. besides steel grid
ers and other devices Of modern civiliza-
ton. But the most amazing thing OF all
hat l found in Jerusalem was the NOV
ng picture theater, outside Of which
stood a native barker who. in a sonor-
Jus voice. invited passersby to enter and
witness the exciting contests of the
Olympic games at Stockholm, or see how
the famous American cowboy ropes a
steer!
After that our faculties We're benumbed
and nothing more surprised us. though
We encountered innumerable startling in
nOvatiOns throughout the hoary land of
the patriarchs. Indeed. in every depart
ment Of commercial enterprise and activ-
ity modern methods are being rapidly
brought into vogue On the rich plains of
Sharon and on the tableiands between
Jaffa and Jerusalem steam-driven thresh-
ing machines and modern haryesters may
be seen. while everywhere self-binGing
reapers and moving machines and pIoughs
illustrate the tremendous contrasts
wrought by the centuries over the primi-
tive method reaping by hand and thresh-
ing out the grain by tread of oxen on a
crudely constructed floor. All over the
country. too. particularly in the orange
and olive groves, the old-fashioned way of
raising water for irrigation and other
purposes has been superseded by pumps
driven by motors

From the London Standard.
The spirit Of modern progress is mov-

playing havoc with it's ancient picturesque
ness and hoary traditions. according to
the Rev. S. F. Graham. president of the
Wesleyan Theological Seminary at Boston.
L. 8. A. Mr.. Graham has just arrived
in London on his way home, after con-

through Egypt and Palestine. and. when

sioning effect of his visit to the birthplace
of Christianity.

things did not seem to matter SO much.

the days with which we are perhaps more

FERTILITY OF SOIL
is SUBJECT AT o. A. G.

CORVALLIS, Ore, Aug. 31.-"It
is a matter of considerable interest
and importance to know the demands
which particular crops are making
upon the soil, especially when plans
are being made as they are in mod
ern methods of farming to meet
these demands by appropriate fer
tilization," says Prof. c. E. Bradley
of the Oregon Agriculture college
chemistry department, in a new bull
letin ON THE Soils of Oregon (No
112)
THE losses of mineral foods and
nitrogen by teaching and the loss OF
nitrogen by direct oxidation are, OF
course, additional demands which
come to the cultivated SOIL" he con
tinues. He then gives table of fer
tility of wheat, vetch hay, alfalfa
hay, timothy, potatoes, apples, fat
cattle. milk, butter and fresh kale
showing the composition and market
value.
"The value of the plant food In
one acre of wheat equals s11.4O,
says Prof. Bradley. "In like man
ner $24.25 worth of plant foods &C
into 800 bushels of apples. The
large amount of nitrogen and conse
quent high market value of plan
foods in alfalfa and vetch is offse
by the storage of atmospheric nitro

that the real nitrogen draft does no
come on the soil. The mineral food
which these Leguminous crops carry
however, are large and represent rea
losses when they are sold as ha!

WARNING To THE
BUYERS OF LIVE STOCK.

Merlin, Or, Aug. 90, 1912.
Editor Courier; Dear Sir-I no.
tice in your paper of the goth inst.
warning to livestock buyers, stat
ing that there were fellows going
through the country selling horses
with false pedigrees If you will al
low me space | will give you an ex-
ample right here in this county.
On April 25. 1911, Woodford &
Cook, B. F. Seaton and myself
bought horse named Keotapan-
theon No 6462, but when we went
to get a license this year We found
that We had no registered horse as
We thought. The pedigree showed
him to be sire folded July 7, 1902,
and registered by Singmaster & Sons
of Keota, Iowa. But when we were
refused pure bred license our keep
er wrote to Singmaster & Sons. They
said that a horse was registered May
Z, 1901, and was a bay with no
spots whatever. This horse had two
white feet and a star forhead and
they thought this stallion had been
substituted for the original, so We
had bought scrub for $1,000 and
did not get what we bought. I would
advise all men buying for breeding
purposes to see that the horse is reg
istered in Oregon before, so there
would be no chance in getting beat
as We did.
This pedigree had the dates chang
ed and did not correspond with the
month and had no flesh marks what
ever. The horse We bought had
flesh marks and could not be regis
tered as pure bred horse.
Very truly yours,
R. s. CROCKETT.
