POTATOES NEED PLANT FOOD
Most Successful Growers Generally
Make Application Of Manure to
Heavy Sod.

To grow potatoes successfully an
abundance of plant food is required.
Experiments at the Ohio experiment
station show that from 10 to 16 tons of
manure and from 800 to 500 pounds
of acid phosphate per acre may be
used with profit in fertilizing potatoes.
The application Of fresh manure to
the son just before blowing is asso-
ciated with the development Of scab

Synthetic Vinegar and Acetic Acid.

r Synthetic Vinegar and Acetic Acid. !,
Acetic acid is now. used In great
quantities in making acetate. Of eel
:lulose for airshiRs. Before the war
this was obtained by distillins wood,
:but it no longer suffices. A synthetic
way Of making aeetic acid was dis
covered and now the price is much
lower than it used to be-. .
The process is simple; it calls for the
production of acetic aldehyde by re-
action of water with acetylcne, and the
oxidation Of the aldehyde' gives acetic
acid.
! Three French companies are now
using this process and La Nature says
they bid fair to drive the .distillers of
wood out of the field, even planning to
produce synthetic vinegar that shall
be much cheaper than the natural ar

COTTON PRICES
HIT NEW LOW
Market Depressed by Foreign
Exchange, Unsettled Securi-
ties and Pessimistic Adyices.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Trading in
cotton was less active today and
the market Was, depressed by weak
ness in foreign exchange, unsettled
conditions in securities and pessi-
mistic trade advices from foreign
and domestic centers, together with
losses in futures at Liverpool. Liver
pool sent selling orders here and
there also was domestic liquidation
and selling for a reaction. A bear
ish ginning report Is expected from
the census bureau at the opening of
the market tomorrow.
Considering the. weakness at
Liverpool the local market had a
steady undertone at the start, when
prices were unchanged to. 20 points
lower. Later quotations showed net
losses OF 81 to 81 points. The mar
ket steadied around 1915 for March
during the middle of the morning.
The bullish- spot news, which help
ed to check. the early decline, failed
TO stimulate much buying and raI-
lies OF IL or 20 points were followed
by renewed weakness during the
afternoon. Lowest prices of, the
session were established late in the
day under a renewal of Southern
hedge selling coupled with local un-
loading and offerings from Wall
street. Final quotations were fairly
steady at a net decline OF 25 to AZ
points.

amples of strength. characterized to-
Mays stock market. 1t Is true that
Father more resistance was shown
to the forces working for the de-
cline, but on the whole, the exhibf
tion could hardly be called encour-
aging to either buyers or holders of
securities.
So far as the exhibitions of weak
ness were concerned, IL looked like
a continuance of the tactics OF
searching out the vulnerable points
and exploiting them without mercy.
The helpless willys Overland issues
were hammered relentlessly not only
on account OF the Industrial position
OF the company but also because few
look with favor on its financial
structure. The sharp break in these
shares brought selling into other
quarters of the motor and tire group.

still further in spite of assurances to

with the exception of Southern

The chief feature of strength in
the market, however. was furnished
by Texas and Pacific Coal and oil.
This stock was vigorously bought
10 the extent OF about 10000 shares,
and its rise of nine points or so
was a buoyant sensation in an

Gus explanations were given for the
occasion of the demand. 1t was

joyful realization that the stock

Wheat Prices Revert at Close
OF Day to Same LeveIias
Saturday.

CHICAGO. Dec. Tho wheat
market retraced its steps of Mon
day and closed at about the same
level as at the end of last week to-
day. There was an absence OF the
active covering demand from shorts
which was u big factor yesterday,
indicating the market was pretty
well evened UP. Reports that for
eign buyers were Offering to cancel
purchases of Canadian wheat, the
kansas State figures showing H.
600, poo bushels of wheat still back
on the farms and the slower export
demand, all contributed to the weak
ness Of. the market. Big Eastern
traders were credited with selling
moderately, filing up the demand
on the rallies.
The close was TX to . cents lower.
Corn was 2h to 3A cents of. and
oats dropped " to Ia cents. Rye
was 5% to 6K cents lower. and
barley lost Y to 4 cents.
Corn futures weakened with
wheat, and the lack of demand was
extremely. noticeable during the
early part of the session. In the
late trade there was a lot of buy
ing against the bids, which gave
the market enough support to give
prices small rally. Oats trade
was without special features, ex-
cept near the close. when there was
a moderate amount OF commission
house buying. as well As p-otit-tak-
ing by shorts. Offerings were free
most of the day. Influenced by other
grains.
Provisions, with the exception OF
May lard. were weak. Pork was
40 cents off: lard 20 cents of to IL
cents up. and ribs Is to 20 cents
lower. Weakness in the livestock
market here and the drop in grains
were the principal influences.

WALL STREET GOSSIP.

NEW YORK Dec. Ever since
the segregation plan of the South
ern Pacific Company was announced
quiet. rumors have been in circula-
tion regarding the formation of a
bondholders' protective committee
to protest against the sale Of the
oil lands to the stockholders at such
a ridiculously low figure as slS a
share. Today these rumors gath
cred additional force and appear
ance of Substantially. although er'
forts to trace them TO their source
were not regarded with the utmos:
success. That the holders OF the (
per cent convertibles on which the
conversion privilege has expired feel
themselves aCgricNed is quite well
known. The holders OF the 5 per
cent convertibles were placed on the
same basis as stockholders because
their conversion privilege does not
expire until 1924. and their potential
rights place them virtually in the
same position as the stockholders.
Those who have looked into the
legality of the question believe,
however. that the protest of the
bondholders will end in nothing but
vsporings. The instrument upon
which the convertible fours was
based is a direct obligation Of the
company. but not a mortgage. This
also is true of the dehenture 4i='s.
These are the only obligation of the
Southern Pacific Company aside
from the convertible SIS. the others
being either equipment trusts or the
obligations of subsidiary lines
Moreover attention is called to the
fact that the mortgage instruments
of railroads even where they do in
clude real estate not used directly
for railroad purposes permit the
sale of such real estate through ac-
tion of the directors and without
requiring the consent of the bond
holders.

SURVEY SHOWS ;
FOODSHORTAGE
American Farm Bureau
Head Gathers Statistics
In 28 States.

J. n. Howard. president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
representing some 100000 farmers
in twenty-eight States, who has Just
completed a tour of the chief agri-
cultural States. believes the country
is in danger of facing next winter,
the most serious food situation the
United States ever has known.
I'm New York State alone $4,000
farms will lie untitled this summer
for lack of labor" he says.
Alabama farmers are leaving idle
100000 acres because of a shortage
of help.
Iowa, one of the richest OF agri-
cultural States. is 150,O farm work
ers short of her needs
These are merely typical. Through
out the entire country farmers are
letting their fields stand in hay or
pasture because they either cannot
get help or cannot afford to pay the
prices demanded for farm labor.
Farm prices already have been
forced down. Manufactured products
are higher. Thus the farmer faces
the prospect of getting less for his
products while he must pay more
for his supplies and labor.
There must be a readjustment be-
tween the city and the country. The
farmer can get along for a time, IL
need be, by merely growing enough
, for his own use. But the cities. their
industries. and the whole nation
would soon be in a bad plight il for
any reason food production were
seriously lessened."
