The Tobacco Issues.

The wide advances made by the to-
bacco stocks, taken as a group, have
been the wonder of the market world
within the last two months. In no other
single group in the market has the adj
vance been wider or its stocks acted
with more buoyancy. One reason. OF
course. is that a large short interest has
been fought and literally whipped all the
way up. Another factor OF considerable
Importance, behind the movement. has
been the reorganization and expansion
plars OF several OF the large corpora
lions. The advance of the tobaccos YES
terday approached the spectacular.
United Cigar Stores crossed the 200
mark, and there was a brisk demand for
Tobacco Products and its rights. Loril-
lard, in which new developments are an

rapidly, and American Tobacco was in
demand. On the assurance that the ex-

letters, which went out OF Wall Street
yesterday, were bullish In tone. Most
Of the houses advise that turns are in

tional City Bank Is reported to have two

pansion of our foreign trade and helps

Although the mines are working on
curtailed time and much of the copper
now being sold is coming from the sur
plus stocks, this authority points out
that just this very situation will bring
about a scarcity of copper las TIE
consumptive demand for copper in

Of refined copper naturally will decrease
very rapidly and. after the mining COM
panies finally resume full volume opera

viii be required TO replenish the depleted
stocks In process and in transit. The
greatest scarcity of copper will be felt
during the first four or FIVE months fol-
lowing the general abandonment OF the
production curtallment policy. To make
the meaning clear, the case of Anaconda
may be cited. II is now producins

end OF October before any portion OF

mining companies employ. Is may as
well be understood that there is not a
possible chance that any of the big pro-
ducers will be able to return immedl.

The Odd Lot Market,

According TO one authority on odd LOT

heavy this week, with the purchases APP
proNimately % per cent IN excess oil

with the number OF sellers, according to
this authority, stood at the ratio of IN
.. In commenting on tho interesting
situation this authority says THE par
tiou,ariy interesting feature of the odd
lot market IL the confidence with which
the small investor continues to make his
purchases regardless OF the steady up
ward swing of prices. Occasions on
which the selling side becomes more
pronounced than the buying side are so
rare In this market as to call for special
comment. This week the buying move
ment became unusually strong due prob
ably to the general impression that the
after war turmoil Is gradually passing
away and that a return to normal bust
ness conditions Is under way"

FRUIT TREE IS
HURT BY SCALE
County Farm Advisor Urges Fight
Now Against Deadly Enemies
OF County Growers.
FORMULA GIVEN.
Solution and Method Whereby Men,
ace May Be Removed Is Rec
commended By EdgertOn-

Fruit growers beware of the 'San
Jose" and "oyster shell" scale, two
of the most prevalent and deadly
tree diseases in this section OF the
country
Investigation conducted by Coun-
ty Farm Advisor Palmer r Edger-
ton has revealed the fact that the
two infections are especially preva-
lent in several portions of Rock Is
land county, in some places entire
orchards being afflicted
OF the two. the San Jose" scale
is the most injurious Either dis
ease will attack all fruit trees and
particular species of shrubbery. OF
the latter, the Towering ounce is
especially susceptible to the raw
ages OF the San Jose" disease.
Now is the time to fight both
plaques, according to the county
agent. All traces of the diseases
can be eventually removed by first
carefully trimming trees. The
trimmings should be burned and the
tree then sprayed with a lime-sul-
phur solution found effective in
treatment of the scale diseases. All
this should be done while the trees
are in a dormant state.
The Remedy.
Formula of the lime-sulphur solu-
ton recommended by County Agent
Edgerton is as follows:
Fresh lime. one-half pound
Sulphur, one pound.
Water, one-half gallon
The mixture should be boiled As
minutes and stirred continuously.
AS it boils down add water. When
it has boiled the required length of
time allow the sediment to settle.
Use only the clear liquid left for
spraying. Before using dilute,
however, three parts of liquid with
IA parts water
