 B0UYANT ADVANCE

Continuing for the eighth success sive day to manifest bouyant strength, the cotton markets today again reg istered advances averaging about $2.50 per bale.

There were rather wide fluctuations in today's trading, but the initial gains were never entirely wiped out and the close was not far below the top figures of the day.
 New York October closed at 1860 cents, up 60 points, and December at 1681 cents, 46 points net higher. New Orleans October gained 45 points, closing at 16.10 cents, and December advanced 51 points, closing at 16.40 cents.

Chilean Students
In U. S. Colleges

Six young people of Chile, three
young men and three young women,
are being sent by the Chilean govern
ment to the United States to spend
four years in American colleges.
Their mission is tosstudy the educa-
dOnal system Of the United States, par
sicularly as 1t concerns higher educa-
ton, and to investigate the effects,
economic and physical, of the pro-
hibition of the manufacture and sale
Of alcoholic beverages.
Chile Is very near the enactment
Of law similar to the Eighteenth
amendment to the United States con-
stitution, waiting only for little
further observation Of the result of
the prohibitory law here, and to de-
velOp little more assurance in the
minds OF those engaged in the wine
Industry that grapes may be grown
with profit without the liquor indus
try. Both government officials and
educators are lined up strongly for
prohibition, and the prophecy is that
another five years will see Chile dry.
The young students who are being
financed here by their government are
being placed in different parts of the
country, under different environment,
and 1t Is expected that their Observa-
tons will be useful in helping Chile
to come to a clear understanding Of
the effects OF prohibition on the in
dustrial and social life Of the people
and upon the public health. The
three young women have been placed
In the special charge of Miss Anna A.
Gordon, president Of the w. G. T. U.

Bulk Of sales" quotations appear

er who attempts to keep himself in
formed on selling conditions, yet
present-day market report would not
be complete without such quotations.
If the farmer confines his attention
only to bulk" and "top" sales, and
ignores the factors of quality and
weight In the market receipts, he is
almost sure to form q wrong opinion
Of the actual market conditions, say
market specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
May Vary From Day to Day.
Bulk Of sales figures should always
be studied In conjunction with the
quotations on grades which are based
on weight and quality. The bulk Of
sales figures may vary widely from
day to day without indicating that the
market Is unstable. This situation
frequently arises from limited trade
In low-grade hogs on the same day
that high-grade animals are finding
ready sale. The bulk Of sales quota
ton for such day will reach a rela-
lively high figure. On the following
day a larger number of low-grade ami
mails may be included in the sales and
the higher grades neglected, with the
result that the bulk Of sales quota
lions will be far below that Of the
preceding report. On sessions when
the average quality Of the animals Of
fered Is low the bulk Of sales report
will reflect this condition, and the
farmer who has animals ready for
shipment may be misled as to the
actual state of affairs, unless he takes
into account the other factors which
have an important bearing. Because
the bulk of sales report from one mar
ket is much lower than that from an
other city he may decide to ship his
product to the market which appears
to offer the highest prices. AS a mat
ter of fact, for the grade that he has
to offer, the market quoting the lower
bulk figures may offer the higher price
to him. 1t Is undoubtedly true that
country buyers often take advantage
Of low bulk Of sales reports to depress
purchasing prices in their localities.

COWPEAS CHOICE
FEED FOR STOCK
Crop Is of Great Importance for
Selling, Hay, SiIage and
Pasturage.
USEFUL TO INCREASE HUMUS
Farmers Bulletin Points Out Different
Methods Of Growing and Harvest
inq IL for Each Of Its Vari-
Gus Uses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Few crops can be utilized in as
great variety Of ways as cowpeas.
For centuries they4. have been grown
fOr. human food In Asia, Africa and In
the Mediterranean region Of Europe.
In this country, particularly in the
southern states, the crop Is common
ly used for this purpose, but its most
important use by far is In the feeding
Of live stock, being utilized for soiling
hay, silage and pasture. 1t Is also OF
great value as green-manure crop to
increase the humus and nitrogen con-
tent Of the soil upon which 1t Is grown.
These are points brought out In Farm
ers' Bulletin 1853. "Cowpeas: Utiliza-
tion," recently published by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
which discusses not only the utiliza-
ton Of the crop, but the methods Of
growing and harvesting 1t for each OF
Its various uses.
Have High Food Value.
Cowpeas are not grown for SEED
more generally because Of the uncer-l
tainty Of the crop, the expense Of har-
vesting and the comparatively low,
yield obtained. In localities well suit
ed to production 1t will be found
highly profitable to grow cowpea seed
On a large scale, especially if the best
machinery for handling the crop Is
used. The seed has high feeding
value, but Is rarely cheap enough to
be used as feed. 1t can be stored for
a considerable length Of time without
much danger Of loss Of vitality. AS 1t
Is subject to attacks from insects, es-
pecially the cowpea weevil, the seed
produced in southern states should be.
placed in cold storage, the bulletirfl
recommends.
COwpea hay Is an excellent forage
for all kinds Of stock. Even the straw
obtained from threshing the peas for
seed Is a valuable stock feed AS
rule cowpeas should not be cut for hay
before the pods begin to turn yellow.
The best quality Is produced and the
hay cures most readily If the vines
are cut when most Of the pods are full
grown and considerable part Of them
matured. If cut before this stage the
vines are watery and difficult to cure,
while If left too late before cutting
there will be an unnecessary loss of
leaves in handling and the stems will
be tough and woody. The hay is
somewhat difficult to cure. but with

MILK Delivered TO CITIES
Figures Announced by Department OF
Agriculture on Total Cost to
Ultimate Consumer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
The total cost of milk delivered to
the consumers door in Columbus, o..
during the first six months of 1870,
ranged from lib cents up to 1873 cents
per quart, If the costs of one company
which does business In certified
milk are omitted, according to the fig
ures recently announced by the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
cost OF the raw milk delivered at the
dairy ranged from 81 cents to 10 cents
per quart. The total cost OF OPP
Grating the dairy plant, including the
pasteurizing and bOttling Of the milk,
ranged from 1 cent to Ia cents per
quart, and the cost Of delivering the
milk from the dairy to the consumer
ranged from 1.61 cents to 80 cents per
quart.
The item of administrative expense
varies widely, being as low as two
tenths of cent per quart for one
small company and as high as / cent
per quart for large concern.
Two of the seven companies covered
were small concerns which produced
their own milk supply. The cost Of
producing the milk for these COM
panies in 1920 was 80 cents per quart,
which is very similar to the price paid
for milk by the larger concerns.
One Of the items OF cost which has
attracted most attention among stu
dents of the milk business Is the So
called bottle loss" The depart
ment's study indicates that for the
companies covered In Columbus this
Item ranges from one-tenth to two
tenths Of cent per quart.
Great difficulty was experienced in
getting any satisfactory information
concerning the shrinkage which takes
place In the handling and delivery Of
milk, but according to the best data
available this item amounts to be-
tween 2.3 per cent and SIS per cent of
the total volume of milk.
Columbus is city of 237 ,O31 popula-
ton, which is reported to consume
about 27,OOO,OOO quarts Of milk per an
mum. This milk is supplied by over
1000 producers, from 10 different coun-
ties, and is transported to Columbus

30 miles. Conditions appear to be

fairly representative Of many Middle
Western cities.
The investigation covered seven
companies, which sold about 16,5OO,OOO
quarts of milk and cream in 1920, or
approximately Go per cent of the total
quantity consumed. The companies
ranged in size from very small one
wagon concern up to the largest, which
operated 40 milk routes.
From the point Of view Of the farm
err and the consumer, the important
question is, What does it cost to han
die the milk from the farm to the
consumer? The cost of raw milk was
between 63 per cent and Is per cent
of the total cost Of the milk as it
reaches the consumer.
During the period under study the
retail price Of Grade A milk in Co
lumbus, as quoted by the dealers in
vestigated, ranged from Is cents to
14.5 cents per quart, though during
1920 the two small dealers sold their
milk, which comes from tuberculln-
tested cows, for Is cents per quart.
At the same time the wholesale price
Of milk ranged from II cents to 12h
cents.
The average number of customers
per route in 1920 ranged from 1859 to
297, and the number of quarts per
wagon ranged from IT'S to 1878, the
average being 262. It Is noteworthy
that the most profitable company was
the one having the largest average
wagOnlOad.

To be of practical use to the farmer.
the bulk of sales quotations must be
considered with the knowledge Of what
is being offered for hogs Of various
grades and qualities. Studied In this
way the bulk Of sales reports are Of
material value, for they show the quail

more lucid idea Of general trade con-
