Abuse Methods.


The use of the method in 1917 con-
firmed abundantly the experience of
The Kent county farmers and many
fields were treated by this method.
There have been cases, however, where
farmers injured their grain by this
treatment. Study of typical cases of
seed injury has shown that in nearly
all instances the injury has arisen
from failure To follow directions. The
very simplicity of the method lends
itself readily to abuse, The most
common mistake made by the farm
ers was in applying an overdose. The
directions call for one pint to be spray
ed on 80 bushels Of grain. Some farm
ers with ten bushels 10 treat applied
the entire pint To this amount and as u
result badly injured their grain. Also,
although the directions explicitly
stated to cover exactly four hours. y
some farmers covered the grain over
night. This occasionally killed the
seed.
Other cases OF weakening of stand
have arisen from holding the treated
grain for some time before planting
Injury from this cause has arisen as
well with wheat treated by the wet
method. Conditions mt planting time
were SO unfavorable that IL was i'm.
possible to SOW according to the usual
schedule. but instead the grain was
held for several days or week. Such
grain was badly weakened.
Because of the Importance of finding
the cause OF this injury to wheat and

New York Cotton.

1 New York, Feb. 6.-The cotton mar
 ket was nervous and irregular early
 today. The opening was steady with
 March point higher but generally to 10 points lower and the active
 months sold 20 to 25 points under last
 nights closing figures with May touching 29 7S and July 29.27 shortly after the call. Liverpool selling here was supposed to be due to expecta- tions of wider differences. There was
 also New Orleans selling and liquida- tion by some of yesterdays buyers, but the volume of business was small and the decline was followed by slight rallies on covering.
 The announcement that maximum prices had been fixed for trading in
 coffee futures by the food admnistra- tor attracted a good deal of attention in the cotton trade and seemed to in
 crease nervousness during the morn- ing. After the early break, however, prices ruled generally steady on cov-
 erlng and in sympathy with the bull ish average spot news. March ral- lied to 30.62 around midday while May
 worked up to 29.92 and July to 29.45, or within to points fast nights finals.
 No fresh feature developed during the early afternoon and trading was quiet with May ruling around 29S1 and July 2S.35, or about IF to IS points net lower.

Chicago Grain.


 I Chicago, Feb. 6.-Continued seanti- ness of receipts formed the dominat- ing influence in the corn market today and more than nullifed any bearish effect from mild weather. A, majority o ftraders appeared skeptical as to any important enlargement of the crop movement at present. Offerings were scarce. Opening prices, which ranged from 1-8 off to 1-8,to IA advance with March $1.27 IS and May SIPS Is to $1.25 1-4, were followed by a slight sag and then moderate upturn all around.
 Lack of confidence regarding imme- diate increase of supplies gave strength to oats despite better traf- fic conditions on the railways. After opening a shade to 3-8c down with May soc to 80 1-8c the market scored a decided advance.
 Shortage of motive power, it was said, would be likely to keep the crop movement down to relatively small proportions. Announcement, however, that the mild weather would continue
