There is great deal of interest
shown on the part of the farmers to
eradicate the dread poison milkweed,
which is so poisonous to live stock.
Mr. May is furnishing some valuable
data from time to time regarding the
eradication of milkweed. A recent
article sent in follows;
Small patches of the whorled milk
weed have been killed out by thor
ough job of grubbing at the time of
the beginning of formation of pods
The grubbing should be done to a
depth of from eight to ten inches. \
good method is to begin at one side
of the patch and dig a trench to the
required depth. This gives bank to
work to, and the dirt can be pulled
to the worker and all the roots thrown
out Move all the dirt between the
plants; do not just dig up the ground
where the green plants are showing.
The ground around the patch to dis
tance of twelve to eighteen inches all
around the patch from the outside
plants should be dug up. for this soil
will be full of roots running horizont-
ally. Usually after the grubbing
small percent of the plants will re-
turn Grub the whole patch again
just as soon as any green shoots
show for there will probably be some
shoots underground that cannot be
seen.
Once the work is started do not
let the plants have any more green
leaves the rest of the year. Just as
soon as some new leaves are made
the plant takes a new lease on life, 1t
is just like choking prairie dog. Get
him pretty nearly choked to death and
the whole job of choking has to be

Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York. May 20.-Influenced by in- ereasingly bullish trade advices and by poor crop advices from many sections of the cotton belt the market has climbed to new high records today and shown symptoms of breaking away from control entirely and developing into a runaway affair. This tendency was emphasized by the favorable con- struction placed on the Presidents s message to Congress, which was fol- lowed by active and aggressive buying through Wall street houses which came after the supply of contracts has been sharply reduced by early trade buy ing. Exports were large, amounting to 1000 bales for the day, and the gen. eral feeling is that only the lack of ocean tonnage prevents a larger out ward movement The only remedy for the acute situation which has arisen lies in the willingness of the south to sell. The basis Is reported easier but though sales in spot markets are large the narrowing of the premium on spots
 is the result of rapid advance in flu lures to the price at which holders are willing to sell rather than of any pres sure from spots. Domestic mills are considered as having the greater part of their requirements still to cover and demand from that source has yet to be felt in any serious way.
 After a somewhat reacttonary. ses- sion, the stock market is closing sSrong again and apparently efforts to bring about reaction are once more de- stined to failure, for the bullish senti- ment is so strong that it disregards everything. We still believe, however, that the signing of the peace treaty ought to mark the continuation of the present upward movement or be very close to it, but people generally have big profits back of them and the spirit of speculation is growing all the time. This morning tbe market was appar- ently inclined to waiver and 1t was not until the last hour that prices became really strong once more.
 It is hard to predict in a situation like this where the public are so exten- sively interested, as to how far any movement may go, but 1T the writer had good profits he would at least take part of them now. Total sales 1,316,000. Post & F1agg.

He Likes White Elephants
slin Mann in Leslie's.

COnkl1n Mann, m LeShe B.
 If you ask Matthew c. Brush. head of the Hog Island shipyard, what his fad may be for every man must have hobby, he will tell you "elephants." He is pas- sonately fond of them. they are his "rab- bit foot" Some are with him all the time buried away in his pockets. Prob abily like Napoleons snuff boxes, they are given away as particular marks or friendship But the main collection, white and black, wood, bronze, ivory. jade. glass, lockwood, ebony. 145 in num- Der. varies in size from that of small pen up to a 40-pounder.
 Probably, however, his real fad Is studying and winning his fellow man. Like other of Americas executives Of the younger generation he has deeply laid conviction that the human riddle, equa- tion or whatever you are of a mind to call the humanitarian contact and co-opera- ton which binds men together to mako the wheels of our industrial life revolve. is the important strand in the web of i'm dustrial life Matthew c. Brush is not only an energetic, enthusiastic, far-seeing industrial engineer and executive, but
 also a master salesman who conceives
 and works out plan. wins over the op- position. and captains the forces that put it into operation. He is of those men
 who not only hold the confidence of cap
 ital for ability, but also the confidence of
 Ia bor for their square dealing. He thinks. talks and acts directly. which in these troublesome times is about as straight a line to the hearts of many
 men of seemingly widely varying interests
 as can be found; and only the man who
 can reach the hearts of many men of seemingly widely varying interests will be
 a big man-tomorrow.

New York Futures.
New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, May 20-Decided strength was developed by the cotton market today, following something of a reactionary tendency in the. early trading. New high levels were made by all the active months on a buying wave around the middle of the day, created by the rumor that the Ger man delegates to the peace confer ence had received instructions to sign the peace treaty. The advance was widened by the rise of 3S points on spots, which carried middling up to 29.63c. At the highest levels contracts were 7S to e95s pointssvover yesterday s close and about 1 cent a pound up from the low levels of the day. July went to 2952c. Closing prices were at net ad- vances of/6 to S6 points.
 On the opening call the market was to 6 points up, as the result of mod crate buying induced by the wet wealth CT map. Heavy realizing came from the long side and there was also large sell ing by traders who were trying to force a reaction. From the opening decline there was a drop until the trading months were 20 to 25 points under yes- terday's close.
 Complaints from the interior of foul fields and expectations that tomorrow 5 weekly crop reports would be unfavor- able helped values, as did also higher spot markets In the interior and a con- tinued good demand at rising prices for finished cotton goods.

TRADING LIMIT ON INDIVIDUAL SALES
 STRENGTHENSC0RN
Export Demand Lifts Oats, While the Provisions List in Spite of Hog
 Weakness
By Associated Press


 Chicago, May 20.-New strength which developed in the corn market today was ascribed largely to the re-establishment of 100000 bushel limit on individual trades. There was nervous close, 21s4 Slsc net higher.- with July s1.64G1. e4A and September Sl.5sA@15Sss. Oats finished 1&G1%c to 27sc up and provisions at gains of 15c to S.10.
 According to current gossip, eastern spectators who have been active on the bear side of the corn market were the ones chiefly affected by the ban against unrest restricted trading. However, this might be, it was covering by shorts which seemed almost wholly instrument tai in today's advance. Wet weather and dwindling receipts though furnished ample motive for a more bullish view of conditions than has recently been the case. Only 40 cars of corn arrived in Chicago this morning, nearly sufficient for local requirements. Another stimu- lating factor was Pc to 511c advance in the barley market. the effect of presiden- tial recommendation that wartime pro- hibition on beer be removed.
 Oats were lifted by export demand and by the strength of barley and corn.
 Provisions rose in spite of considerable weakness in the hog market The up- ward swing of grain gave impetus to the advance.
