small outlay to those receiving bene-
fits.

Crimson clover may be sown wher-
ever corn and cotton have been cul-
tivated late. If sown under favorable
conditions the crop will succeed but as
a rule it fails more often than it sue
ceeds. If peas or beans are mown
early for hay by discing the land only
this great legume may be seeded with
more certainty. We would certainly
take advantage of all land that has
been put in early peas or beans to get
this crop.

will have.
Poultry.
Gull the moulting hens. They will
loaf till next Spring. The best lay

the turnip seed for table greens will
make winter greens for the poultry.
Darying.
Spray cows to keep off flies and
feed literally if pastures get short.

that you go where some spraying

IRREGULAR PRICE TREND SCORED IN
 COTTON TRADING
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Decline of Three Points to Rise
 of Six
By Associated Press

New York, March 2.-There were conflicting influences in the cotton market today with corresponding irregularity in prices. Early declines were followed by rallies with May selling up from 17.S6c to 1S.l1e. after which it reacted to 17.92c and finally closed at 1S.O7c or only a point be- low Wednesdays closing figures. The general market closed very steady at decline of 3 points to an advance of 6 points.
 The early decline was due to rela- lively easy cables and less favorable reports from Manchester. The open ing was barely steady at a decline of 13 to 16 points and the more active positions sold IS to % points net lower shortly after the call under scattering liquidation and local pres sure. Renewed depression was re- ported in Manchester, owing to the increased Indian import duties and partly to the Liverpool market also felt the unsettling effect of political uncertainties. The early selling movement was soon checked by ~e- ports that a prominent southern au- thority estimated ginning from the last crop at only 7,960 000 bales and the prospective increase in acreage planted this year at only one per cent Comment on the floor showed local traders skeptical as to the probable accuracy of these figures. but a late rally in Liverpool was at tributed to the small acreage esti- mate, and the market here Jfirmed up during the middle of the day on trade buying and covering. March advanced from 1915 to 1897 and July from 17.1O to 17.3S or about net unchanged to about ten points high CT. There was more realizing at these figures and some southern sell ing accompanied by complaints of a poor spot demand and the late fluc- tuations were irregular.
 great deal of switching from March to later deliveries were re- ported during the day. Today's re- turns indicated that notices yester- day amounted to 39,5O0 balues and three more notices were reported this morning.

Rising Volume of
 Business Bids Fair
 to Lift Steel Market

Cleveland, O.. March 2-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 A rising volume Of business result ing, from ordinary demand, momen- tarily augmented by seasonal buy ing and emergency purchasing in am tieipation of coal strike. bids fair to lift the steel industry to plane of activity it has not enjoyed since 1920
 Independent steelmakers in the valley are operating at II per cent of capacity this being the highest rate since 1920. The ingot capacity of the principal Pittsburg producer is around 4S per cent while inde pendents are averaging slightly above 50 per cent. It is estimated tin plate mills in the Pittsburg district are operating at an average of from 65 to 75 per cent. sheet and pipe mills al 60 to 70 per cent and strip mills at 30 to so per cent. Tn the Chicag go area. steelmaking activity is rated at from 5 to so per cent of ca pacity.
 A drop of cents since last week brings The Iron Trade Review mar ket composite down to $32.S1. This compares with S32.SS February 15. and s32S6 for all of February. The composite a year ago was SfS.S1. and in February, 1920, $65.63.
 Railroad buying continues as the outstanding feature of the steel mar kets. The largest contract placed during the week was for $500 re- frigerator cars for the Pacific Fruit Express Other awards included l. coo ears for the Great Northern, 45 passenger ears for the Central Rail- way of New Jersey and 50 cars for the United Fruit Go. Inquiries for 300 cars for Brazil and Il locomo- tives for Japan were received during the week. An unusually heavy de- mand for track material has ap- peared. The New York Central has placed 12.000 kegs of spikes and 5000 kegs of bolts. the Burlington l0,500 tons of tie plates and 2,500 tons of angle bars. and the Norfolk and Western 10000 tons of tie plates. Re- cent purchases of rails include O.O00 tons by the Santa Fe. 5.000 by the Union Pacific and 1000 tons by the Cleveland Railway company. Japan is inquirng for 5000 tons of 60-pound and 5000 tons of light rails. Prac- tically all market centers experienced a revival in pig iron buying during the week. In eastern Pennsylvania, sellers of foundry iron reduced their quotations for several days and then resumed a firm stand on the original prices This maneuver netted sales aggregating about 10000 tons,

New Orleans, March 2=During a good part of the season today in cot ton the trend of prices was lower but there were steady periods and the net changes on the close were point down to points up, March closing at 16.SSc and October at 15.9sc. Ii was mainly a professional market Of the trading variety and fluctu- atlons were not wide at anX stage.
 In the early trading selling pres sure was due to an unfavorabie opinion of English politics and the lower Liverpool than due. but after declines of : to b points the mar ket commenced to do better on a private bureau report estimating the total quantity of cotton ginned this last season at 7.962,000 bales. This was accompanied by forecast of the acreage for the new crop which put the increase at only i per cent Steadiness was increased by further accounts of young cotton being de- stroyed in Texas by the cold wave and late in the morning the market was at it's best, at net advances of to 10 points, At this level March traded at 16.95c
 Around mid session and in the early afternoon selling increased again. un- der New England reports to local brokerage concerns predicting that the textile strikes would be long drawn out and prices made new low levels on the day, falling to IT points under the close of yesterday which carried March off to 16.7lc Enough short covering was done in the late trading to cause a steadier market and bring about recovery.

OUer PriUate Wires
HUBBARD's LETTER

New York. March 2.LtspeciaL)- Our market opened irregular with a net decline of 10 10 20 points. Selling was attributed to wire houses, Liv- erpool and spot interests due primar- fly to weaker Liverpool cables and the unsettled foreign situation. The mar ket met some selling from Wall street western interests on reactionary con dition of grain and stock markets.
 There was little outside business after the first hour. We therefore think the trade is waiting develop ment before reentering the market to ascertain the factors that will influ> ence the market either way. We think conditions favor an advancing mar ket but not without violent setbacks from time to time on news of a bearish character.-Hu Hubbard Bros. x ~

DECIDED UPTURN IN WHEAT CAUSED
 BY FOREIGN BUYING
Corn and Oats Follow Suit and Bolster Up, While Pro- visions Varied Up and
 Down
By Associated Press

Chicago, March 2.--Indications of brisk new foreign buying of wheat led to a decided upturn today in prices here. The market closed strong at la4c to 212c net higher, with May s1.46 to s1.4614 and July, s1.22% to s1227s. Corn gained in value A c Tsc to lac. and oats 2se to 5sc. In provisions the outcome varied from 15c decline to 15c advance.
 Estimated sales of wheat to Flu rope today and yesterday totalled more than 10000 bushels. The bulk of this amount was Canadian wheat, but a liberal proportion was durum grown in the United States, grade from which macaroni is made. Italy was said to have purchased 50 boat loads of durum and to be in the mar ket for more In connection with the European buying, a Chicago author ity said world importing countries are short of actual requirements more than 100, ,000, GOO bushels. On the other hand British authority was quoted as putting the surplus Of eX- port countries at 7O,O0O,0Oo
 Word of a loan of $30,000,000 to Russia was being considered before the Senate agricultural committee at Washington, appeared to be to some extent a factor in lifting wheat prices and causing the market to close at the top level reached, notwith- standing numerous fluctuations which resulted from heavy profit taking sales on the part of holders. Down turns in early quotations at Liverpool had much to do with temporary de- clines here.
 Falling off in the volume of re- cepits of corn helped to strengthen price for corn and oats. Provisions ruled irreeu ular but in the end were advancing with hogs and grain.
