How to Make Big Get Crop-seTen
Rules

iii. Seed in the early fall and thus
double the yield OF spring seedlings.
Experiment station results the South
over have clearly shown the great
superiority or fall seeding over spring
seeding, and rhe farmer who waits
until spring to SOW IL simply, on IN
average, cutting his yield in half.
2. Seed with a grain drill. This
il another point on which experiment
station evidence is very positive, r.
suits showing "a very decided gain in
favor or seeding with grain drill
over hand seeding.
g. Treat your seed oats to prevent
smut Every spring, after Al A. too

deIuged with requests for information
on how to prevent smut in oats. The
time to prevent oat smut is before
you plant the seed, and the way 10

There Is, Of course, a serious OBJ
lection to The late sowing method to
control THE Hessian fly, and that ID
the danger that the plants will not
make sufficient growth.to Withstand
the winter This objection, however,
may Tx largely overcome by proper
cultural methods. Much of the d.
lay In the growth Of late-sown plants
in the fall can be eliminated by pay
ing close attention to the preparation
Of the soil and to the quality of the
seed The BEST advice that can b.
given il to begin the preparation OF
the field In the fall precisely as
though it was expected to SOW at a
very early date, but instead Of sowing
use TIN disk harrow and The roller,
even after ii appears to BE- waste
OF labor to till the field further.
When a finely pulverized, compact
seed bed has been secured, the seed
should b. selected, and this should
be done with the point in view that
unnaturally shriveled or otherwise
imperfect kernels can not produce
healthy wheat plants. When the
kernel sprouts it at once sends fl
brous roots down into the soil from
which to draw nourishment for the
young plant, and if little or no nour-
ishment is secured the wheat plants
are put into somewhat the condition
Of stunted calves, pigs, or other farm
animals which are underfed.
Wheat plants can not secure prompt
and ample nourishment if the roots
must make their way about among
clods due to poor preparation Of the
soil, or in soil that lacks in fertility
The farmer, then. should begin the
preparation Of his soil with the OBJ
ject of delaying the sowing of the
wheat and afterwards Of pushing the
growth of the plant to the utmost un-
Til the beginning Of the cold weather

CONTROL HESSIAN FIN
Protect the Great Hinter.Wheat Belt
From Invasion by This Pest Next
Year-Late Sowing Effective.

sow winter wheat after the Hes
sian fly has disappeared and save
next years crop from the rayages Of
the pest, say the Department OF Agri-
cultures experts This advice may
still b. applied during the present
month In the great wheat belt lying
between the thirty-fifth and forty
first parallels Of latitude. II the fly
has been starved out by buring OF
disking ILL stubble and ruined wheat
fields, and all volunteer wheat has
been plowed under or otherwise de-
stroyed, an infestation the following
year may be prevented by sowing
after thu approximate fy-free date
The Hessian fy Oh the second or
fall generation Is likely to infest all
volunteer wheat and all wheat sown
before the fy-free date -'Flaxseeds'
Of the second generation remain on
the faIl-soWn wheat plants till the
following April, when adults issue
and produce young which begin an
other season of infestation. The
adult flies of the second generation
emerge from Thu -fiaEseedD stage
from the middle or August to late Oc-
tober, according to the latitude. The
female fly does not live beyond or
6 DAYS, and thus it il that late SOW
inE, after thu flies have largely d.
appeared, ID the most practical and
effective method employed to control
this pest.
According to experimental sowings
carried on for a series Of years, tn
approximate dates to SOW winter
wheat to avoid the Hessian fly during
years of normal rainfall have been
determined There are some points
with regard to these dates which al
farmers within hy-infested districts
must take into account. They should
be familiar with the conditions OF
their own localities, as to
weather, soil, and latitude. They
should also H. familiar with

FURTHER ADVANCE

Prices Weakened Toward Close of Session But
 Made Small Gain

New York, November 11.--A further ad- vance In the cotton market during to-
 days early trading carried January con
 tracts up to 1l.9Oc or about so.5o per bale above the low level of last Tuesday. but
 prices later weakened with January sell ing back to Il .76c. or to practically last nights closing figures. and the close was steady at a net gain of only 8 to 5 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance Of 10 to F points and after some little Tregularity as result of realizing. sold
 13 to 16 points above last nights clos
 ing figures during the middle of the morn
 ing. Ffrmness in Liverpool, bullish over
 night spot advices from the south and
 unfavorable weather prospects with offi-
 cial predictions for freezing weather in
 parts of Oklahoma, stimulated the buy Ing movement, while some traders also
 expressed an apprehension that should
 the Suez canal be closed as suggested by
 some of the private reports, it would in-
 terfere with European importations of In-
 dian cotton. Covering was active on the
 upward movement, which carried Decem-
 Der contracts up to II. .76c and March to
 l2.12c or about 1S to 16 points net higher, and some of the buying here from houses with Liverpool connections suggested that hedges against cotton held in the i south were being transferred to Liver pool and might be followed by bulge in the export movement owing to the wider differences.
 The buying for long account however.
 failed to materialize as rapidly as some had anticipated. and as soon as business
 began to taper off, offerings increased
 with prices later selling back to about

INVESTMENT ISSUES INCLINE ID WAIVER
Again Under h. fluence of Manipulation at Sensational Advances

New York, November 1.-The ten fdencies of today's market was doubt
 less disappointing to the conservative Hinterests which welcomed yesterday $ Prise in standard shares. Investment Tissues were inclined to waver on re- Ealizing sales, while specialties, par <ticularly automobile stocks, were again Sunder the influence of manipulation at Further sensational advances.
 Conspicuous among these descrip- kscriptions were General Motors, which
 made an extreme gain of 25 to the new Thigh price of 400, Willys-Overland up k2S to 2s5 and the Maxwell group Nwherein gains of 2 to points were reg Nistered. Other issues of the same class, #notabiy Studebaker, Baldwin Locomo- *tive, Lackawanna Steel, Crucible Steel, HNew York Airbrake, Continental Can %and American Can. rose 9 to s points.

 at it's opening price.

CANADIAN REPORT
 EXPRESSES WHEAT
Wheat in Hands of Canadian Producers Estimated at
 121, ,203,000 Bushels

Chicago. November II. - Estimates
 that Canadian farmers have four times
 more wheat for export than was the
 case year ago led to a weak finish
 in the wheat market today, notwith-
 standing that prices during most of the session had shown decided strength.
 The close varied from S e 14 c off to
 | like advance, as compared with last night. Corn nst E O ssc net and oats Is @Ac. Inprovisions the outcome ranged from 22 1sc decline to rise of 171Hc
 Wheat prices had reached the high est point of the day when word came that occording to reports of the North western Grain Dealers association the
 amount of wheat still in the hands of Canadian producers was 121,203,00O
 bushels as against 30, IT, 900 bushels at the corresponding time last year. After this news was made public, the early
 buyers began to unload and ths selling pressure increased until the close left values at the lowest level of any time since 24 hours before. Bear leaders urged that the effect of the immense Canadian reserve would be shown ulti- mately in heavy accufnulations in the United States and in a falling off of the country's exports.
 1HldNOfdDie Wc"thSi anu hisHeh Liverpool quotations were largely re- sponsfble for the strength displayed by wheat the greater part of the sesion. Talk of an acute shortage of flour in the east was also bullish influence, but was offset to a considerable extent by assertions that immediate steps would be taken at Ottawa, Ont, to eliminate the Canadian export duty on
 wheat.
 Corn weakened as result of pros- poets of clear, cold weather. Leading holders were active in sales to realize profits. Oats sagged little with corn. Export demand, however prevented any material decline.
 Lower prices of hogs had bearish influence on provisions. Gossip that l5,- 900 tierces of lard had been sold here for shipment to Europe tended later to cause something of rally.

COTTON ADVANCED
 ADOLLAR ABALE RumOr That Suez Canal Had Been Closed to Traffic
 Weakens Market

New Orleans, November 11.-Cotton ad- vanced nearly s1 a bale today on expec- &ations of freezing weather in the north- ern portions of the belt tonight. but at the highest levels large offerings from realizing longs made their appearance, and finally the market weakened under heavy selling based on the rumor that the Suez canal had been closed to traffic. Last prices for the day were at an ad- vance of only l to points over yester- days close.
 The opening was at an advance, owing to the threatening character of the wealth CT map. Bulls argued that the storm crossing the country would bring rain to large part of the cotton belt, and that the cold wave immediately following the storm would result in ss wet freeze. Re ports from the Panhandle of Texas indi- cated practically freezing temperatures there. Prices advanced until they were b to 19 points up.
 In the morning buy;ng was stimulated to some extent by reports of a good spot demand at an advance of p points Fol lowing the quoting of prlces only B por1ts up, considerable cotton was unloaded by disappointing longs. At the lowest of the day, reached in the early afternoon, prices were at about the level of yesterday S close.
