grass from developing seeds to the
point where they will terminate,
crops in which it is growing should
be cut not later than the last week in
June.
1 Young quack grass plants, attack
ed before they have formed under
ground stems, are as easily killed as
plants of wheat or other grains of
the same age.
Manure containing quack grass seed
may be applied on plowed ground be-
fore preparing the soil for cultivat-
ed crop. The seed will grow the
same season, and the young plants
will be killed in the preparation of
the seed bed and the cultivation of
the crop.
Digging by hand and removing from
the field all portions of the plant.
smothering with tar paper and spray
ing with solution of sodium arse
mite are best for the complete eradi-
cation of quack grass on small spots.
All methods of eradication on large
fields are based on thorough tillage.
The implements found on any well
equipped farm are all that are needed
to eradicate quack grass.
The most effective bare fallow meth
cd of eradication was plowing in July
three or four inches deep, repiowing
not later than Aug. Is five or six inches
deep and again in November six or
seven inches deep. The disk was used
as needed between plowings to keep
the quack grass from showing green
above ground. The cost of the addi-
tional labor necessary for complete
eradication under this system was
5000 per acre. No crop was secured
from the land that season. :.
Complete eradication of quack grass
while following system of crop rota-
ton was found practical when more
than the ordinary amount Of tillage
was given.
Tillage given now and then when
nothing else needs immediate attention
Is largely lost effort In the eradication
Of quack grass. To be effective there
must be well planned and carefully
carried out campaign with which other
work Is not allowed to interfere. Till
age operations should injure the quack
grass as much as possible and should
be repeated often enough to make ef-
fective the work that has preceded.
Eradication of quack grass on land
that has been plowed each year is more
difficult than on land that has been
undisturbed for number of years.
In carrying out the different rotations
a regular plan of cleanup" to eradi.
cate the quack grass was followed on
each field with uniformly successful
results. The plan was varied on three
of the fields to secure additional data
A four year rotation on four fields
each one in turn having in successive
years grain. hay. corn, and corn gives
exceptional opportunity for the eradi
cation of quack grass. This rotation
can be followed to advantage. especial
ly on fields where quack grass is very
vigorous or when weather conditions
make the eradication unusually diff
cult.

New York, May 10.-The market today worked into new high ground, July sold up to 13.19c; October, 13.39c December, 13.53c; January, 13.56c. Heavy liquidation occurred at intervals during the fore noon, but offerings were well absorbed
 In the closing hour, however few prom inent local traders sold heavily on Eng lands announcement that no peace was possible until Germany was vanquished. Stop loss orders were caught and closing prices showed declines to 21 to 24 points from the high. However, as much of the recent buying was based on backward crop conditions, heavy AmerNan con sumption, insufficient and low grade fer tlization as well as general belief in a small crop this season, England's procla- nation can hardly be regarded as a fac- tor likely to have any permanent depress- ing effect upon prices. The outlook fla vors the largest consumption of cotton in America in years. The European war in our opinion, will terminate before next winter. We believe the central powers realize this fact and have made prepara- tions for cotton exports on an enormous scale as soon as hostilities cease The market this season will be very suscep- tible to unfavorable weather news.

COTTON MARKET
 VERY UNSETTLED Trading Irregular With Much Excitement Around
 Future Ring

New Orleans, May 10-Periods of strength and weakness alternated in the cotton market today. Trading was heavy and there was much excitement around the future ring. Fluctuations were rapid and fairly wide, the extreme range for the session being 9 points. Weather news and spot accounts worked for higher levels, but against the market was much profit taking from the long side and an incipient reaction from the prolonged ad- vance.
 First prices were at the decline in syn- pathy with poor cables and on the open ing call the market lost to 8 points This was recovered in the early trading and a net gain of to points was noted. By the middle of the morning the market was down again, for net loss of to 8 points. The weekly review of crop ~.~s weather conditions over the belt was con- sidered highly unfavorable and resulted in d wave of buying on which t9e market shot upward $1 a bale. In the early aft ernoon the market stood at it's highest level, 13 to If points over yesterday S close and 19 to P points up from the low est For while values were sustained by the rise of 37 points in spot to 12.75c for middling, a new high level for the season, but realizing became almost gen. eral in the last half hour of the day and prices fell away the close being weak at net loss of to 10 points
