HOW TO GET And
KEEP A CLOVER STAND

| Everybody will admit that Glow
er is needed on the farm, prac-
tica1y levery farm in the clover
belt. But by no means every farm
has clover and there are extreme
| ly few farms on which there is as
much clover as there should be.
Why? Because clover SO often
fails to make a good stand and to
carry well to crop. Farmers
have become discouraged. Put
ting good money into seed and
then loosing the seeding is dis
couragihg. Especially this year
when it will cost around SO an
acre for seed alone, farmers will
hesitate. What can be done about
it? Given good seed and good soil
conditions a stand is reasonably
sure. Only an unusual season,
especially dry one, will kill a
stand under such conditions, I'm
tied States Department of Agri-
culture experts declare. Good
seed can be bought and good soil
conditions can be made. at least
to a certain extent.
The need for a good seed bed
and for careful seeding has been
referred to i'll the Weekly News
Letter. A loose seed bed will dry
out. Make it firm. Careless seed
ing wastes seed and the young
Eplants that do start do not have a
lchance. Put every. seed where it
will start and where the tender
seeding will find favorable condi-
tons. But more. is needed. Glow
er needs lime more than almost
any plant except alfalfa. Roughly
speaking, nearly tlree-quarters
fof the cultivated land from the
Atlantic TO Iowa and from Ten
nessee to Canada, either never
had lime enough or lost it III the
course of years of cultivation.
Therefore, the lime needed must
be put on the land.
Exactly what lime does in the
Iplant or soil is still disputed, but
it is known that clover must have
| it, that it will not thrive~on land
from which it can ge not lime.
| Clover also needs other things,

Professionals ID o III i II ate
Trend, as Industrial and
Railroad Stocks Move
Toward Lower Levels

Fluctuations in the stock market
were again almost completely divorced
from broad economic Developments IN
the world outside, to which they are
expected in normal times to respond.
Again the area of trading was narrow
and tho volume of sales small. making
the days transactions represent little
more than the whims of professional
traders and the distressed needs Of
those with impaired margins.
The taking Of some 100000 shares
of General Motors, which had been over
hanging the market, out of the Street
week ago Monday marked at least the
temporary cessation of the period Of
forced liquidation on an alarming scale.
Since that time stocks have moved
languidly, unswerved either by the need
of urgent selling or by the confident
| impulse that the time for a substan-
tial recovery had approached.
In the drop Of Chile Copper stock
yesterday, however, there were indica-
! tons that a weak speculative position
had been uncovered, and trading in
151 300 shares of the copper company
compared with a total sale Of 7S1, 900
of ak kinds of stocks, naturally led
observers to assume that large oper-
ator was being sold out. 1t was re-
ported that the selling originated from
Boston. In the afternoon Chile Copper
had declined AZ points, but it re-
covered part of its loss and closed at
| Sl2, off ga points for the day. This
liquidation tended to unsettle the mar
ket, especially the copper shares, whose
position has been made sensitive by
the persistent decline in the price of
the metal. Replogle Steel was target
of short selling and lost 6l2 points at
the low, and closed at 6S1a, off a
points. In spite of these instances of
weakness the average of thirty repre-
sentative industrial stocks declined
only from 1888 to 1913 and that of
twenty rails from 67.90 to $685.. One
of the strong stocks was Invinciblc
which rose 37s points, rejecting the
taking over by J. S. Bache & Co. and
their associates of the shares in the
company of s. N. Schatzkin.
Southern Pacific, which sold ex-divi-
dend, climbed up at the opening, bu!

In w all Street
Chile Copper and New Haven

The heavy selling that carried Chile
Copper and New Haven shares down to
new low record prices was attributed
to further forced liquidation by i'm
portant speculative holders who were
no longer able to resist the pressure
cf their brokers and bankers for ad-
ditional collateral on loans. The turn
over in Chile Copper was we'll in ex-
cess of 100000 shares. From an open
ing at 11A continued offerings of the
stock carried the quotations down to
ia, from which point there was q
recovery at the close to S12, where a
net loss of 31a points was recorded.
According to gossip in the Street the
selling in New Haven was by an oper-
stor who had also accumulated large
holdings of Invincible Oil. At 1914
New Haven shares were three-quarters
Of point under the price reached on
last weeks decline. One explanation
for the break in Chile was that it had
been sold for the account of a Boston
operator.

May Issue Preferred

The Standard Oil Company of Cali
fornia, the Street heard yesterday, will
likely follow in the footsteps Of the
Standard of New Jersey and sell pre-
ferred stock to raise additional CAPT
tai. Around the banks it was said the
company would likely issue $25 100000
of new z per cent non-voting preferred
stock. The proceeds would be used,
it was said, for the acquisition of addi-
tlonal producing properties. This
brought to mind the rumors afloat
several weeks ago to the effect that the
Southern Pacific Company might sell
all or part Of its oil land holdings in
California to the Standard of Califor-
MIA. The latter has $99,373,311 Of
common stock outstanding of an au-
thorized issue Of 100000, 900. No pre-
ferred stock is authorized, so that to
bring an issue out would require the
calling Of meeting of stockholders
for that purpose

Southern Pacific

Selling ex-dividend 11s per cent yes
terday Southern Pacific turned weak
and closed the stock market session at
10S7s, a net loss'of pa points. The
reason for the weakness was difficult
to explain in view of the rumors that
directors would announce this week
the terms of the oil segregation plan,
which the Street has felt all along
would be favorable. Traders were re-
ported to have taken the short side Of
the stock following publication of a
story that the stock of the new oil
company will be offered to Southern
Pacific shareholders at a price which
would make the rights worth about SIP
share. AS q matter of fact nothing
official has ever been made public
about the segregation plan except in
Mr.. Krutchnitt's first announcement
that the directors were considering
such a proposition.

Wage Cuts Reported

Reports that certain of the rubber
companies planned to cut the wages
of their employees as a result of the
slump in business were in circulation
yesterday. They were probably the
outgrowth of advices from Akron,
the heart of the tire industry, to the
effect that the Firestone Tire and Rub
ber Company had made reduction of
10 per cent in all wages, effective i'm
mediately. A great number of en-
ployees of the tire companies have
been released as result of the falling
off in demand for their products, SO
that it is not believed that much of a
labor reaction would follow a general
cutting of wages all along the line.

tried to connect the wave of liquida-

affairs, but seemed to forget that his
assets had been taken over by the
hanks, with the idea that the secur-
ties should be taken off the market.
Other observers said the bear drive
was engineered by the bears, who
argued that the stock was selling out
