THE MARKETS
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Sept. 5.--Narrow
and nervous fluctuations resulted in
the early trading in cotton here to-
day. After losing 5 to 7 points
around the first call the market made
new advance of 10 to IL points
but Immediately fell off to net de-
cline of to 10 points. Weather and
spot accounts were somewhat bullish
in tone but against this was the ex-
pectation of a renewal of selling
pressure.
In the trading up to noon the de-
cline was widened to Fl to % points.
The weekly crop reports were re-
garded as unfavorable, acting as a
check on offerings.
The market was steady in the aft
ernoon on realizing by shorts. At
80 the active months showed net
losses of ! to points.
Cotton closed steady at an advance
of 10 to Is points

steadied up on covering. Liverpool
was again a moderate seller here
supposed to be hedging spot pur-
chases in the South, but these offer
ings were not very heavy and liquida-
ton on yesterdays break of over a
cent pound appeared to have left
the market in a healthier technical
position. October rallied from 20.90
to 2f.10 and January from 20.70 to
20.84 during the first hour.
Offerings increased during the
middle of the morning owing partly
to a favorable view of the weekly
weather report, and prices broke to
20.86 for October and 20.53 for Janu-
airy, or about Is to II points nes
lower. The decline was then again
checked by covering and there were
rallies of few points from the low
est around midday. Rumors that
Liverpool had reopened for unre-
stricted trading were denied by
private cables which added there was
October at any rate
While no fresh factor of import
ance was mentioned around the ring,
offerings increased during the early
afternoon and prices broke into still
lower levels. October sold off to
20.76, and January to 2045 or 25
to "a points net lower before the
market steadied on renewed cover
ing which caused rallies of II to Is
points around 2 o'clock

A resolution declaring alcohol entire
ly without merit from the medical
standpoint has been presented to the
governing body of the American Med
ical association by DR.. Frank Billings

The resolution declares that it is the
unanimous opinion of this council that
alcohol has no drug value, either as
tonic or stimulant, or in any therapeu-
tic way, that it has no value as food
or in the treatment Of disease and that
it's only legitimate use in medicine is as
a preservative and in the preparation IF

Great are the wonders of co-opera-
ton
Following close upon the heels of
the new alliance formed between bank
er and farmer comes the realization
of a similar mutual interest binding
together the farmer and the butcher.
The demand for better cuts of meat
the reason for this growing cO-opera-
ton between the meat producers and
the meat retailers. Economists also
state that the gradual disappearance
of free ranges in the western states
have to greater extent than previous
ly placed the burden of the nations
meat supply on the shoulders of the
farmer.
AT any rate, no matter how it has
come about, the progressive butcher
is doing all he can to promote we'll
bred live stock and the proper care
and feeding of the same. He knows
that meat products of high grade
come only from good cattle, sheep and
hogs, bred from choice selected stock
and given well-balanced feeds under
the most approved systems of manage
ment.
Three excellent results are seen
springing from the new interest in
choice live stock bred for direct con-
sumption:
More meat products are consumed,
owing to renewed confidence on the
part of the consumers.
Greater profit for the producer and
retailer.
Satisfaction and less waste for the
consumer.

HOW HANSEN WON
A LIVING ON A RUN
DOWN SANDY FARM
BY A. n. WRIGHT,
College of Agriculture.

Some people can make Il good living
where others will Starve.
This is what has actually happened
on an SO-acre farm just one mile south
of - in county. Wisconsin.
Two families actually starved out on a
certain farm before the present owner
took charge of it. That was Is years
ago and he is still there-happy and
prosperous.
To be able to build up Il profitable
farm business on Il poor, depleted,
wind-bloWn S0acre farm is real
achievement and should be an inSpira
ton to all of us, and | want to tell you
as nearly as | can just how it has been
done in the hope that less successful
sandy-land farmers may be able to
improve their methods and get re-
newed encouragement.
John HanSen-a German Hansen
came to this country from Germany
some twenty odd years ago He
worked as Il farm hand for several
years At NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. out Of Mil
waukee. Fifteen years ago he moved
on to the SO-acre farm near -. When
he came to this farm it was practically
abandoned. Two families had been
unable TO make Il living on it and had
been obliged to give it up.
The farm is high and very sandy :
it blows and washes badly. When
Mr.. Hansen came it had bowed and
washed so much, and the fertility was
SO nearly leached out that he did not
raise enough feed on the farm the
first year to keep one COW and two
horses He now grows feed for over
20 COWS, several teams, has a COM
Portable house. new 100-ton silo, and
is enlarging his barn. He is out of
debt and holds a mortgage on several
farms in the community.
How has he done this? That is
what | asked Mr.. Hansen, and this
is about the way he replied:
II raise all the feed | can and use
it right here on the farm. | never
sell any. l buy straw and use plenty
of it for bedding, SO | will have more
manure / put every waste material
] have back on the land-all straw,
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1917-06-14

stalks, old hay manure and every
thing.
81 keep increasing my herd of cattle
just as rapidly as [ can increase my
production of feed, so that I will have
stock to eat all the crops | grow. I
keep my land covered with some kind
of crop during as much of the year as
| can. On corn land or after any Gull
tivated crop, | plant rye; sometimes
| pillow the rye under and sometimes
| seed clover in with the rye in the
spring.
II grow as much clover as my ro-
tatiOn will permit-sometimes seed
ing it with oats instead of rye. I now
have a silO and it is a great help to
me. My COWS do much better now
than they did before had the silo-
| was always short on pasture, and
now | can supplement my pasture
with the silage.
"A few years ago l bought 10 acres
Of marsh land. This | now use for
hay, and that makes me more feed
and more manure. | am getting a
start with alfalfa and now have five
or six acres The alfalfa has done
we'll and | want to grow more of it on
my best soil.
Il have kept my land from blowing
by putting on lots Of manure and keep
ing it covered with rye in the fall. It
blew little last month, but not much.
and last month we had the most wind
[ ever saw since I have been here"
