KEEP LAND CLEAN
SAYS SEED DEALER
J. c. Mccullough Says Clean
Fields Mean Good Crops
ALFRED ]. BROWN PRAISES QUAIL
ITY OF TWIN FALLS PEAS.
Quality Always the Highest and Crop
Good This Year-Adyises Diyersifi-
cation.

That cleanliness is an essential in
the raising of the best clover crops is
the statement of }. Charles McCul-
Tough, president of the J. Charles Nc
Cullough Seed company, of Cincinnati,
Ohio. who spent two days in and
around the city this week in company
with Alfred j. Brown of Grand Rapids,
Mich. who was here visiting his seed
house. Mr.. Brown said that while
there are a number of fine yields this
year, in some quarters the crop is
light, and to some extent at least, this
is due to lack of care on the part of
seed raisers. He said that he noticed
a couple of fields where weeds had
been allowed to grow, and in these in
stances the seed would be sure to be
light and of inferior quality. Last
year his house had purchased from
dealers here and found it of the best
quality, especially in the cases of al
sike and red clover. This year in
some cases the quality was not so
good until put through thorough
cleaning process He declared that
the splendid quality of soil and the
ideal climate here with the inexhaus-
tible water supply would always make
this a great seed raising country, if
the people took care to keep their
fields in the condition in which they
are being kept by the best seed
raisers.
NJ Brown said that the business of
his house was quite satisfactory.
They would ship out from $4,000 to
10000 bushels of peas and beans this
year. While the yield per acre would
average less than last year, the quail
ity of the crop was good, and the peo-
pie raising the crops named were sat
isfied. He expressed himself as con-
fident that his company would do a
good business here next year and paid
a high tribute to Manager Stone of
the local warehouse.
Mr.. Brown said that peas and beans
always developed well here and al
ways were cash crop, paying good
money. 81 would not advise anyone
to plant all his farm in either" said
Mr.. Brown, "as ! believe that crops
should be diversified, but a man de-
string to diversity his crops would do
well to plant part of his land in peas
or beans. They always find a ready
market and at steady prices and those
raising them never have to wait for
their money. The quality of the crop
raised here has always been the high
est, and is something in which we
are all interested"
The seed men left last night for
San Francisco. They repeated the US
ual story of prosperity in the east and
business activity everywhere.

The Theatres

Accompanied by full symphony
orchestra and a chorus of California
Mission singers, Ramona" W. H.
Clune's cinema-operatic production of
Helen Hunt Jackson's famous novel of
the old California missions and mis-
sion Indians, will be seen for the first
time in Twin Falls at the Lavering
theatre, Saturday, September %.
There will be a matinee and a night
performance. Twin Falls is fortunate
in obtaining this feature on its first
tour when only large cities are being
played.
Ramona" was produced in Los An
geles early last spring, and for ten
weeks it packed the largest theatre
in the southern California city,
which lies in the very heart of the
Ramona" country. 1t was then taken
to New York, where, by the sheer
beauty of its story and the wonderful
sweetness of its musical score, it cap
tivated a theatrical clientele, supposed
to be impervious of anything not rife
with sensationalism. Chicago was the
next city to welcome Ramona" and
in the dead of summer, with the ter
rifle heat wave in full blast, the Cali
fornia maiden drew hosts of playgoers
into the immense auditorium. Sew
eral other cities of California and the
east have witnessed Ramona" anc
in the five months of it's career, the
play is estimated to have drawn 2,000-
600 spectators.

EASY UNDERTONE
ON COTTON MARKET
Liquidation Chief Factor
Against Market and
Prices Fluctuate

New Orleans, November "A poor re-
Spouse to bullish influence was made by
cotton on this market today for though
prices advanced rather strongly in the
early trading to a level "a to 26 points
above yesterdays last quotations, there
was falling off later, in the afternoon
the market had an easy undertone and
closed at the lowest, a net rise for the
session 2 to 5 points. Liquidation was the
chief factor against the market.
The higher opening was stimulated by
good cables and the report of a private
bureau estimate of S,540,000 bales ginned
prior to October 81, which was about half
a million bales under general expecta-
tons. Spot accounts generally were bull
ish in tone and late In the day the trade
was surprised at the size OF mill takings
for the week, Hester putting them at 49,
600 bales against $4,000 the same week
last year. This sent takings for the sea-
son above takings up to the same time
last year, the first time this season that
such a variation has been recorded. Thus
far, the world has taken 365.00 bales
against 3,346,000 year ago.
Although strong denials were made 1t
was persistently rumored that leading
bulls were selling out and this encour-
aged liquidation by the rank and file
among the longs. The selling out move
ment was further encouraged by the APP
preaching national election and coming
bureau reports

WEEKLY REVIEW
|. OF COTTON MARKET
Fluctuations Were ExtraOr-
binary and Rapid and
Market Unsettled

New York, November 3.-The cotton
market has been extremely nervous and
irregular again during the past week.
The volume of business has diminished
and there has been less excitement. but
fluctuations have been extraordinarily
rapid and violent, and sentiment has evil
IDENTIFY been very much unsettled. These
features have been reflected In the course
OF January contracts. which, after selling
at 1S.34c on last Monday morning. or
81 so per bale under the high record OF
October %, rallied to IL, 25c on Wednesday,
broke again to 1850 before the close
to 1900 this morning, closing tonight at
1S.S7c. In addition to these main fiuctua-
tons there have been frequent sharp
advances and reactions, with each adj
vance meeting heavy liquidation or local
selling, while support from one source
or another has appeared on the declines.
Firmness in Liverpool has encouraged the
rallies, and there has been heavy buying
here by houses with Liverpool connections
which has helped to absorb the large Of
ferings of speculative longs. Private ca
bles have attributed the strength abroad
to further advances in Egyptian cotton,
small offerings from the south, trade call
ing and covering, in comparatively mar
row market. Advices from the goods
trade have not indicated much change
In the situation, and reports reaching hero
from the south have claimed continued
armness on the part of interior holders,
with this view colored to some extent,
in the opinion of local traders by the
comparatively small volume Of hedge
selling. On the other hand, however, SEN
timent has been very much disturbed by
renewed nervousness over the submarine
situation and by the failure of reitera-
lions of small crop estimates to inspire
a renewal of general bull support Three
of these private crop estimates have been
issued, one of them placing the lint yield
at only 10. 10000 bales while another put
1t at 11.167.000, and the third was II, 213, 900.
The forecasts assto the probable showing
of the census report next week have
ranged from about s.5oo,0O0' to 1900, 600
bales

United States Steel Closed
at a Fractional
Decline

New York, November 3.--Aside from a
% Fer cent reduction in the trading, to-
days market was in most respects a
duplicate of the preceding sessions.
Dealings were again largely restricted to
United States and affiliated industrials,
the metals and equipments. with a lib
eral admixture of nondividend rails

registered, among them Bethlehem Steel

at any recent time, but motors were un-
der further restraint, despite the higher
prices attained by their subsidiaries.

more conspicuous because of the back

|SHARP REACTION
| ONCOTT0N MARKET
General List Closed Steady
at a Net Gain of s to 16
Points

New York, November "A sharp early
advance was followed by an equally sharp
reaction in the cotton market today with
January contracts selling OFF from 19.o9c
to 1850 and closing at 1850. The gen.
eral list closed steady at net gain OF
l to points.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of 8 to IS points in response to
relatively firm cables. Houses with Biv-
erpool connections were good buyers,
while there was further covering by re-
cent sellers and renewal of bull sup
port Following some early Regularity,
this demand sent prices upward, and the
buying appeared to be stimulated to some
extent by rumors that a prominent south
ern authority estimated ginning to No
vember l at only S,572,00 bales. This fig
ure seemed too small to be altogether
credited around the ring, however, and
after showing a net advance OF about 25
to 2S points, the market turned easier.
Realizing was very heavy around 19.21c
for March and 1850 for May, which rep
resented advances of about 81 per bale
from the low level of last Monday. Some
of the local spot people were also re-
ported TO be selling and late in the after
non there was very heavy selling here
for western account. The break carried
March to 1880 and May to 19.1ac, ana the
close was within point or two of the
lowest. The volume of business was
smaller than earlier in the week, and
local traders attributed a good deal of 1t
to evening up for over the week end or
the national election, particularly as the
report of the census bureau on ginning
will be issued at tho opening next
Wednesday morning. Private cables at
tributed to advance in Liverpool to trade
calling and shorts covering III narrc.v
market The Liverpool buying here was
supposed to be in the way OF covering
straddles on the wider differences. and
New Orleans was also a buyer on strad-
ole account at times during the day. Pri-
vate spot advices from the south reflected
no change in the situation, but there was
continued rumors of shipments In this d.
rection for delivery on contract

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. November 3--(Special.)-A
report that the National Ginners' esti-
mate of the next ginning report would be
$4,000, caused an advance in Liverpool
and further Improvement here Of nearly
80 points, where a large amount of spot
hedges and long cotton was met, so that
decline followed, leaving the market
some points higher. There is a decided
change in the tone of the traders, who,
while not bearish, are not disposed to fol-
low the market on another advance at
the moment. They are affected by the
absence of frost, the reports from the
Atlantic of better outturn on account
of the good weather. and a slackening
in the demand in the goods market.
So, while they buy on declines. they are
not eager to follow advances as they
have been.

UNSETTLED CLOSE
OF WHEAT MARKET
Export Business Rallied
Market After Material
Decline

Chicago November 3.-Big export bust
ness rallied at the wheat market today
after material decline. which had been
largely the result of rains in Argentina.
Prices closed unsettled at s1.s5 to
slSsA for December ana SISSY to s1.S5S4
for May, with the market, as a whole,
lie off to ssc up, compared with yester-
days finish. Corn lost &c to 1aa5sc and
oats 14@3sc to &c. In provisions the out
come ranged from PIC decline to rise
of 25c.
Export buyers appeared to be system
atically holding off during the first half
of the day. This fact itself constituted
formidable handicap on the bulls, but
was taken to be in a measure a sequence
of further rains which were helping to
overcome the Argentina drouth. Depress-
ION In prices here was increased by word
OF a sharp drop in quotations at Rosario
and by notice that liberal purchasing OF
Canadian wheat was a feature of Min
neapolis. It was just when values had
reached the lowest point Of the session
that signs developed pointing to a re-
newed disposition on the part of foreign
governments to buy both flour and wheat.
The market Immediately began to re-
cover, and later scored considerable gains
chCh GApOlI safes we're estimated as
high as 100000 bushels. Many longs took
advantage of the rise in wheat prices and
INDUCED in profit taking to such an ex-
tent that the market weakened toward
the close One of the reasons given for
realizing by holders was that the entire
amount of available ocean tonnage was
said to have been already engaged, and
there was some uncertainty as to a
steady continuance of foreign demand at
present.
Increasing arrivals weakened the corn
market. AT times, however, wheat
strength and the unsettled weather gave
temporary advantage to the bulls. Oats
gave way with corn. Good export buy
ing tended, though, to make the market
relatively steady. Provisions, influenced
by miscellaneous buying. developed firm
ness at the close. Earlier the market had
eased off, owing to a. setback in the
value of hogs.

Ayery's Letter

After an initial advance based on a
strong Liverpool and overnight buying
orders, the cotton market today met the
selling that has been in evidence for the
past few days. This eased prices of.

market finally closed at net advance OF
points over last night.

ton is proceeding at the rate of over
