NEW YORK, February 16.-Some
hitherto unannounced details OF the

ports, were bunkered and sent to sea
from January IT, the day the order be-
came effective, to January 29. A nor

been re-established.
TN addition the fuel administra-

for important shipments of steel and
other commodities to factories, with

Increase Seven Billions.
DR.. Garfield called attention to the
fact that the nations foreign COM
merce had increased from two billions
of dollars in 1913 to nine billions OF
dollars and said there had been placed
on the railroads little more than one
half of the number of locomotives need
ed to care for the increased traffic. the
remainder being sent to France and
Russia.
Almost without exception. he con-
tipued, the manufacture of war ma
terial was at its height about the first
of last December. Then came the
worst weather the country had expert
enced in twenty years. The railroads
found the struggle against overpro

them. the administrator said, and some
relief was necessary.
''To cite only few of the most i'm

shipments of steel plates essential to
the building of our ships fell of near

the beginning of December to the mid

FLOOD DANGER NIL

Six-Foot Drop in Georgetown
Channel Leaves Ice Cakes

BELIEVE CRISIS IS OVER

The water had gone down approxi-
mately six feet in the Georgetown
channel last night from the mark of
yesterday morning, leaving the swollen
river about six feet above normal, with
prospects that the water would con-
tinue to recede today.

channel had thinned out considerablx
by late last night, although there was
no tfawfng.
A good, warm rain, it was stated by
rivermen, would be about the only
thing which would open up the river
to navigation, and from the feel of
the winds there seemed little prospect
of that.
Believe Danger Over.
Unless there is some such return to
springlike conditions as characterized
last week. and, brought on the flood

Soy Beans

Have you made plans 10 grow a sufficient amount of forage crops for your hogs this ytal ? Do not forget that the Govern ment has asked Arkansas farm CTS to increase the hog produc ton by 100000 head. I know that the farmers in Lonoke coun ty wan to do their part in this movement. However to grow hogs successfully in this county or in any other county in the State, it is necessary 10 produce forage crops.
 One of the best crops which =can be grown for grazing hogs is soy beans It has been shown by experiments that the cost of producing an increase in weight may be reduced from one half to
The Carlisle independent., 1918-03-21
three fourths by the use of this

three fourths by the use of this crop.
 The Alabama Experiment Sta ton, has made a number of ex- periments on the feeding value of soy beans; results from these experiments showed:
 1 When the pigs were fed on corn alone it took 572 lbs of corn to produce 100 lbs. of flesh.
 , When the pigs were fed on one fourth of ration of corn and were allowed to run on soy bean pasture, it took only 54 lbs. of corn to produce 10G lbs. of flesh.
 In this latter case an acre of soy beans was equivalent to an acre of corn yielding F 3 bush els
 Soy beans are quite similar in thelr nature to COW peas, but they have an advantage over COW peas in that they are more re- sistent to frost and yield larger amount of grain. Soy bea4S may be planted about the same time that corn is planted or about one month earlier than COW peas. They are ready fo grazing from 90 to 120 days after planting. IT soy beans are planted on April 1, they will be ready for use for the hogs by July or August
 Some of the farmers have had difficulty in getting stand of this crop. This has been due in many cases to the ground pack ing on the soy beans and the plants breaking on as they were trying to push through the soil crust. This may be overcome largely by planting the beans at a depth not to exceed } inches. When this is done one is not likely to experience the difficulty of poor stand.
 It is about one month before this crop should be planted. but seeds are scarce this year and therefore those who are planning on raising soy beans should buy their planting seed right away.

Cotton

Prices fluctuated violently in the cot
ton market yesterday. Reports of an
improved trade demand were followed
BY sharp advance which was led by
July. That delivery sold up to 2432,
or 81 points above Thursdays close
and 10 points above the low level of
Thursday afternoon. The more urgent
demand then appeared to have been
supplied. however, and the market was
unsettled in the late trading when
sentiment seemed to be influenced bv
weakness in the stock market, attrib-
uted to reports that legislation provid-
ing INCREASED revenue would be neces-
sary at this session of Congress. July
closed at 23.79, with the general list
closing steady at a net advance of l
to 35 points.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance Of 5 to AZ points on overnight
buying orders. After they had been
executed prices lost 80 or 35 points
able weather map, but trade interests
were buyers on scale down and prices
soon rose again on covering. The
strength of near positions in New Or
leans and reports of an improved spot
demand seemed to cause July shorts
nervousness and for a time covering
was very active. New crop deliveries
sold 49 to 54 points net higher, but
met increased offerings at this level,
with October breaking from 23.44 to
22.85 in the late trading. The close
was 80 to 35 points net higher on the
old crop and to IA points higher on
new crop positions.
A private crop report issued during
the afternoon was in line with AN
earlier weekly report as to acreage.
indicating an increase of between
and 3 per cent. 1t placed the condi-
tion at the ten-year average of 70 per
cent, however, compared with the pre-
vious report of 82.4 per cent, which
may have been disappointment to
recent sellers.
Reports that several corporations en-
gagged in the cotton business had been
seized by the Alien Property Custodian
attracted much attention. but it was
the opinion in the trade that no large
amount of raw cotton was involved.
Except for the hundred bales that are
to be sold here on June 1, no alien
owned cotton remains to be sold in New
York. 1t is understood that there will
be sales at some other Eastern points
but only small lots The feature in the
Southern spot markets was the Houston
market. which reported an advance OF
1876 points with sales of 2.157 bales
The Houston market had been rela-
lively low and there were several wires
from the Southwest during the day re-
porting an improved demand. Exports
for the day were 43,503 bales.

secondary industrials, minor equip

Conservative interests, having in

The conflicting gossip and reports

Wheat.-Recent reports on the con-
dition of the growing wheat crop have
been so favorable that the trade is
beginning to feel that any change in
the situation will of necessity be of a
less promising nature. If the crop
goes through to harvest without more
than the usual amount of loss, the
as has seldom been experienced. IT
this occurs it is hoped that some of
the restrictions in regard to the ham
ding of wheat and -four will be re-
moved. The food administration, how
ever, has expressed the opinion that
America will be called upon to feed
Europe throughout the duration of the
war, and, if the yield proves a large one,
It is thought that exports will increase
in proposition. especially if the tonnage
situation makes the rapid strides in
the way of new construction now be-
lieved probable. The movement of
wheat at primary points was again
small, and little Improvement is ex-
pected until new wheat is ready for
shipment.
Corn.-The corn market was stead
ier, closing 7sc to &c net higher. The
advance was due largely to covering,
and was doubtless the result of some
overenthusiasm on the selling side on
Thursdays sharp break. The market
was narrow. and consequently subject
to feverish fluctuations both days with
out much regard to the nature of the
news. Weather conditions were gen.
orally favorable. but heavy rains oc-
Cured in Iowa. and clear warm weather
is now desired, to enable farmers to
finish planting and to give the plant
strong and vigorous growth. Cash mar
kcts in the West were steady, and this
was reflected in sharp upturn in
the June position, which showed the
greatest weakness on Thursday. The
Eastern situation was not materially
improved, and local cash merchants
said that it was very difficult to make
sales in any position
