WEAKNESS N FOREIGN
TRADE HURTS WHEAT

CHICAGO, oct 3.-Wheat closed

the late Thursday market was In evil
dence again early yesterday and was
Increased by the fact that Liverpool
was / 1-2c92d lower. A group OF
large houses took the offerings and as
the surplus was an attempt on part
Of shorts to cover and holders to re-
place their close to 11.07 for Deem
Der and 31.13 1-2 for May. The
trade had the closing Liverpool cable
at 2N2 lac lower, and this helped
to bring on a second period OF weak
ness the last hour with a break in
the December 10 the low point Of the
morning.
Selling Of corn became too general
early yesterday at sc l-S for Deem
Der and 6Sc for May. The market
was oversold. Helped somewhat by
the strong turn In wheat, corn futures
firmed up to 66 3-4 and 90 SO, then
showed reaction TO 6s rs for May.
Cash corn was weak and lower at out

From 4G IL and 46 l-2c at the low

HOG MARKET HOLDS At
n. PORTLAND YARDS
(courtesy FrIday's journal. }

PORTLAND, Ore--There was a
fair supply OF hogs offering In the
local yards but values In general
showed no change and tops were
again quoted around 1915 this morn
ing.
Recent declines In swine market
values in various American stock
yard points have been very severe
and local trade. while II is lower than
competing markets, has simply fol-
lowed the lead OF other stockyard
centers.
Considering the price OF hogs at
competing centers the price OF hogs
at North Portland is at least soc too
low at this time. Killers are scarcely
60 blame at this time for the depres-
sion in values although they have
made no decided attempt TO hold the
market in check. The slowness Of
the provision trade generally is the
real reason for the slump in hog val
ues recently, both here and at other
American points.

The wire cost money, 1t IL
true. Mr.. Graf invested $32 in the

The shy and unobtrusive mosquito

for the same purpose. When the open

hopes to have a whole army corps Of
her progeny to lead Il the attack.

GREEN MANURE CROPS
EXCELLENT PRACTISE, As IT
ADDS NEW LIFE TO THE SOIL.
Organic Matter 10 Gradually Convert
ed Into Humus, an Absolutely Es-
sentiaI Constituent Of the Soil
Secret Of Fertility.

by w. II. STEVENSON. Copyright. 1914.)
Any crops grown and plowed under
green to increase the productive ca
pacity of the soil are called green ma.
nure crops. Sometimes such crops oc-
cupy the land for only a part OF the
season. They are then known as
cover crops or catch crops.
Green manuring is an important
practise, chiefly because it adds or
ganic matter to the soil, which is grad
ually converted into humus, an abso.
lutely essential constituent of the soil.
OF course humus may be secured by
applying barnyard manure but as a
rule there is not enough Of this ma
terial to meet the needs of the land.
However, green manuring is net
enough in itself to keep a soil from
wearing out, SO other practises must
be followed. Crops must be grown in
rotation, the moisture content of the
soil regulated, proper tillage practised,
the soil kept sweet, the supply Of min
cral plant food maintained, especially
the supply Of phosphorus and potas-
SUM, and the nitrogen content of the
soil kept up. These factors all play
an important part in keeping the soil
productive, but they are not more i'm
portant than green maluring.
In general, green m2lures are bene-
fetal when used ON poor soils because
Of their action on the physical, cheni-
cal and meteorological conditions OF
the soil. From the physical side green
manures influence the moisture. TEN.
perature and aeration of soils. For eg-
ample, on light, sandy soils they pre-
vent rapid drying cut by reducing the
losses OF moisture Cue % evaporation
and ~percolation. and further make the
soil more compact While they have
Just the opposite effect on heavy clay
soils, here the organic matter opens u
tie soil and admits air.
The practise OF leaving the soil bare
during July and August following the
harvest Of a small grain crop is very
bad, as it causes the loss OF large
amounts OF nitrogen by pcrcolation
These losses may be prevented in q
large measure by growing green ma
nure crops on the land, especially is
this true of lesumincus crors, which
stimulate greater bacterial action. anC
as a result larger amounts of available
plant food are produced. Rye, wheat
buckwheat and rape are the non-legu
minous crops which are commonl.
used for green manuring, while rec
clover, mammoth clover, sweet clover
crimson clover, Canada field peas, COW
peas, soy beans and vetches are tho
best known legumes for this purpose
The secret OF keeping u gardens
and fields fertile is to plow deep, anc
if necessary subsoil, cultivate thor
oughly and plant ~leguininous crops.

VARIOUS SOILS FOR WHEAT
Period When Grain Is Filling,
Affects the Quality.
fEy r. w.

(Ey r. w. THATCIiER)
There is a quite ommon idea that
the difference in quality OF wheat
grown in different localities is cue
to the effect Of the different soil types
upon the composition. In order to
ascertain whether this be rue the
writer, in an experiment conducted III
another state, shipped soil from each
Of two localities, whera whea. Of
widely different quality 4; grown, to
the other, and after carefully placi..g
the soil back into as nearly its natural
condition as possible, planted seed
wheat from each locality upon both
the native and the transferred soil at
both places. This was repeated for
two years. and each year the wheat
was of che quality when grown at
one place. regardless Of the kind Of
soil upon which it grew, and OF a DIFF
ferent quality when grown at the
other place. Further, the wheat
which grew ON the different soils, at
either place, vas as nearly alike as
any two samples grown on adjacent
plots of the same soil were found to
be.
A similar experiment which is being
conducted by the United States depart.
ment OF agriculture. in which soil has
been shipped from Virginia and Cal
ifornia to Kansas, and from Kansas
and California to Virginia, and seeded
to wheat in the same way, is giving
precisely similar results. 1t appears.
therefore, that the composition of the
soil has very little influence upon he
quality Of the wheat which grows on
it. The moisture content of soil, es-
pecially during the period when tho
grain is filing. does have a very
marked effect upon the quality Of the
wheat.

MAKING THE ASPARAGUS BED
Patch May Be Renewed by Liberal
Application Of Stable Manure
Weed Out by Hand.

An old asparagus bed can be re-
newed in vigor by covering 1t freely
with stable manure in late fall or
early winter, removing the coarse part
in the spring, such as would impede
the cultiyator. When spring comes
cultivate, but not too deep, with the
horse c%ultivator, and clear out the
weeds and grass with q hoe, being
careful not to cut off the new growth
which springs up very early in the
spring. Perhaps 1t would be better
to weed the patch out by hand rather
than to endanger cutting OF the
young shoots. A slight scattering Of
salt along the row would do no harm.
Salt is supposed to be q special fertil.
izer for asparagus.
