COOL WEATHER LCSS
 MUS1'-BE OVERCOME

The continuous cool weather which has prevailed in the past few weeks has been responsible for poor stands in many fields of early planted corn and cotton. In replanting cotton, early or moderately early matured varieties should be used wherever possible. Likewise, in late planted corn fields it is desirable to choose a medium early variety i'll preference to the tall growing late maturing varieties. Good native upland corns which have proved depcndable in the neighborhood are usually as sati.s- factory as any varieties which can be purchased.
 Even though a decreased yield of grain ordinarily results from late planted corn, it is frequently good farm practive to plant such crop on good soils. One of the safest plans fer planting late corn is to plant in five or six rows with either cowpea,s, soy beans, or peanuts drilled through the middle. Late planted corn makes a valuable roughabe for feeding cat tie when cut for fodder or put into the silo. The greatest profit per acre can be realized when the crop is used this way
 Probably the best crops for early summer planting, especially on light CT sells are cowpeas, soy beans and peanuts. These crops are Very drought resistant and yield well on ordinary soils and in all parts of the state. Such varieties as the Nam moth soy bean and red or white Spanish peanut, are best adapted .o general conditions.
 Sorghum is another excellent pos sibility as a late planted crop. Va rieties such as Gooseruck (Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane) or Red Top (Sumac) are dependable in the pro- duction of maximum yields of forage

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago Grain.

Chicago, May 22.-Future delivery trade in wheat today was reduced to scanty dealings in single Optiol.-y September. No business was done in the July delivery, and it was said that soon, under existing arbitrary rules, all transactions whatever, in contracts for future delivery of wheat were likely to come to an automati.. stop. According to some authorities, the extreme tension which has re- suited in the present regulations re- garding wheat, should relax afetr Harvesting is well under way, b It other opinions current were that the only buying of new wheat this year would be for actual users, and there- fore virtually on a hand to mouth basis. The market, that is the Sep tember wheat delivery. opened some 8 cents higher owing to absence of offerings but afterward reacted ? cents, starting at s2.i3 and falling back to S211.

PROPER STORAGE SWEET POTATOES
 MOST ESSENTIAL
Unless Crop Is Properly Cared for, Great Loss
 Will Be Sustained.

Onefifth Of tlie sweet potato crop of tko ss:c;;inern states-1o, ,0OO, COG bushels of the average crop of 50,o00, 00O-is lost annually by decay. Care less handling at harvest time and inn proper storage cause almost the en- tire loss
 To save these 10000.6O0 bushels to the food supply this Year, and also take care of the probable increase in production. is the object of efforts specialists of the United States de- partment of agriculture are making to induce growers in the South to prepare well-ordered storage houses as soon as possible for the coming harvest
 Storage can be provided by con verting vacant buildines into storage houses. or in specially constructed buildings Two things are essential in the store room-gcod insulation and provision for thorough ventila- tion. These things arc provided for on plans for model storage house given in Farmers Bulletin 54s, "Stor- ing and Marketing Sweet Potatoes" l" J HfS DIdIio iIiSiC uCENtJ JpCu dl ' IOl building of 2,5G0 to 3.GOO bushels ca pacity, but the principles of construc- tion can be as readily followed and applied in providing siorase for 800 bushels or for 50,000 bushels.
 Good House Is Economy.
 It is economy to buill a substantial sweet nctato storage house, because it will last longer and require less at tention than cheap, poorly con- structed one. It would be possible to keep sweet potatoes in d cheaper and less carefully constructed house, but the attention required and the addi tional fuel used would soon exceed the cost of tho extra care and materi- al required in better one. The chances of loss are much greater in a poorly built than iii well-built house.
 Storage houses may be built of wood, brick, cement or stone. Wood en houses are preferable, because they are cheaper and easier to keep dry It is difficult to keep moisture from collecting on the walls of a ce- ment, stone or brick house. The house should be built on posts or piers, so as to allow circulation of air under it.
 The "dugout," or house built part ly under ground, fail:, because it is practically impossible to keep this type of house dry, and moisture in the storage house will cause the potatoes to rot. The stills should be placed on posts or pillars 12 to 15 inches from the ground, or just high enough so that a wagon bed will be on level with the floor of the house.
 On many farms in the South there are buildings, such as abandoned ten ant houses, that could be converted into sweet potato storage houses at very little expense. Where there are such buildings they should be used rather than to build new house. These houses will usually need to be ceiled on the inside. For this purpose 2x4 inch scantlings should be set against the wall and covered first with building paper and then layer of matched lumber. The windows and doors should be made tight and ventilators put in where needed.
