Chicago, April 3-Export sales at
Omaha rallied the wheat market today
after an easy start. There were also
predictions that world shipments
would be light. On the other hand
northwestern stocks showed an In

off a year ago. Prices opened Is to u

above last nights level.
Need Of rain in the western part of
the Dakotas helped to avert any i'm

that the fields In Oklahoma were in
tested with green bugs. The close was

Corn.
Bullish Argentine news regarding
prospective shipments to North Amerd-
ca during April and May gave corn an
upturn. It was said also that the
monthly statement 0 the stock in the
United Kingdom would exhibit large
decrease. The market opened a shade
lower to "a and u higher. and soon
rose all around.
Heavier receipts at Kansas City and
Omaha led to reaction, but the effect

a good cash business and their market

Oats-Values are a little higher at

corn. Seeding Is said to be delayed by

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR STRAWBERRY CROP
FIRST SHIPMENTS MAY l
LOCAL GROWERS EXPECT FINE YIELD AND BIG PRICE
 THIS YEAR.
From Fridays Daily.

With prospects of good yield ano indications favorable to high price, local strawberry growers expect this season to be by far the most prosper ous ever enjoyed since strawberry culture was begun in this vicinity three years ago.
 The directors of the Faulkner County Truck Growers Association at a recent meeting discussed plans for the marketing of the crop this year. A new feature to be introduced this year will be the payment in cash at the car for all berries, if the grower so desires. Buyers from diff ferent commission houses will be here during the marketing of the crop and the growers may either sell direct to them and receive cash on delivery, or ship with the association and receive their pro rata share of the proceeds.
 Two carloads of crates are on hand to handle the berries, one having been unloaded yesterday. It is stated that the acreage is about 25 per cent greater than last year.
 The late freeze, it is stated, will not reduce the crop, but will cause it to be several days later in maturing. The strawberry plant has certain productive power and the killing of early blooms does not lessen the crop. The plants are up to good stand and it is believed at least 12 cars will be shipped this year.
 Present indications are that the price will be much better than last year, when the average net proceeds per crate amounted to about $135. The crop now being marketed in southern Texas is bringing from $5 to $6 per crate. The first shipments from Conway will probably be made on May 1.

ADOPTING MODERN FARM APPLIANCES FAULKNER COUNTY AWAKE ACTIVE DEMAND SHOWN FOR IMPROVED MACHINERY
 AND SILOS.

Farmers of Faulkner county are showing a rapidly increasing demand for improved appliances and machln- cry, as well as displaying an interest in modern agricultural methods Ac cording to local dealers, there has never before been so many inquiries or such large sales of farm machin- cry in Conway T. R. Douglass, one of the leading dealers, says his sales of expensive machines and gasoline engines for farm purposes this spring have far exceeded those of any previ- ous year. An instance of this is seen in $500 gasoline power hay press, which he is just delivering to J. E.. Little, the Arkansas river planter. MT. Little is rapidly converting his 5000 acre farm from an old-fashioned cotton plantation to modern agricul- tural business. He is devoting an in- duction of alfalfa, corn and other feed stuff and has fine herd of several hundred beef cattle, besides many thoroughbred hogs.
 The use of silos is now beginning in this county. MT. Little has two on his plantation and expects to build several others. J. Haydon, who re- gently took the agency for an improv- ed silo manufactured by the Crossett Lumber Co.,, states that there are now six silos in Faulkner county, but that this number will probably be multi piled several times by another year. On the Martin and Hendrickson plan tations at Martinville, three silos are in use and there is one at Mallettown, besides the two on the Little farm.
 H. M. Cotrell, agricultural commits sioner of the Rock Island lines, in a recent newspaper article, is authority for the statement that there is nearly a billion dollars of waste each year by the neglect of silage for feed. He says that 60 per cent of the feed value of corn is contained in the kernels and 40 per cent in the stalk and leaves. Of this 40 per cent at least 90 per cent, he says is lost by not having silos in which to keep it for winter feed. He says further:
 "Corn makes the best silage; kafir corn, Milo and sorghum follow, their value being in the order mentioned. Broom corn. after brush has been har- vested, is used successfully around Liberal, Kan. Green pea vines and husks and cobs from the canning fac tories make good material to put in the silo. In continuous rainy weather alfalfa, clover and other hay crops may be saved in good condition in the silo. Any solid-stemmed feed plant will make good silage, if harvested at the right stage of growth. Plants with hollow stems, like green wheat and rye, make silage that is unsatis- factory.
 "Every live stock growing district in the United States needs the silo. The general use of the silo will make the high priced small farms of the corn belt profitable growers, as well as fnishers, of beef cattle and nut ton shoop The vast dry-farming sec tions of the Southwest will be as thickly settled with comfortable farm homes as is the Northern corn belt whenever dairying, drouth-resistant

LITTLE SELLS 100
 HEAD OF FINE CATTLE

The price received for the cattle was $760 per hundred pounds, the value of the shipment thus being over |S7. 300.
