Upward Movement OF Stocks Is Resumed

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Resumption of the upward movement of stock prices, brisk rally in cotton prices following publication of the govern ment forecast indicating a greatly reduced yield and establishment Of new low records for the year by the British and German exchanges, were the high lights In this weeks finan- cial markets.
 Recognition of Mexico by the United States. while largely dis counted. resulted in a moderate rally of the securities of that government and of the companies with Mexican properties. The Greco-Ttalian dis pute had depressing Influence on the exchanges of those countries, but observers generally declared that it's effect upon the security and com modity markets was negligible.
 Trade factors of favorable char acter have made their appearance in the form of record Carloadings larger iron and steel orders, in- creased productivity in the textile and some of the other basic indus tries and reports of a better retail trade by the mercantile reviews.

specimen, including roots of affected plant, we could be more specific.
 c. There Is a centaurea that has white leaves that is grown for fts foliage and largely used as borders. What varieties are these? Mrs. T. T., Russellville, Ala.
 A. This type of centaurea is known as dusty millers. There are two leading sorts known as gymnocarpa and candidlssima. Both sorts may be grown from seed. planted in fall and transplanted in early spring.
 @. My coleus are tall and blooming. Could they be cut back this late in the season to advantage? Mrs w. R.
 A. Yes, cut them back, such treat ment is calculated to help them.
 Q. l have small orchard of with the yelows They have borne some fruit up to this year, when the disease practically ruined the crop. Is there sure rem edy for this trouble and when should 1t be ap- piled? P. B., OdenviHe. Ala.
 A. It would be well to submit specimens of branches to the state or national agricultural departments to know if the trouble is really the peach yellows. If the trouble Is peach yelIows. there Is no specific remedy.
 .. Is there a remedy for mos quitors that are now so bad7 Mrs. B. A., Route 6.
 A. There are literally hundreds of prepared remedies that do more or less good in keeping them off the person. The chief remedy is to de- stroy the breeding places and screen the sleeping quarters so they cannot enter.
 Q. We have several trees of fine late apples, but they are nearly all ways affected with bitter rotten spots. Could anything be done for them this late in the season? K. A., Blountsville Ala.
 sprayed before now, but its possibly not too late now to save late ma turing apples. The remedy for bitter rot is either Bordeaux mixture or lime sulphur, used at summer spray strength as indicated on package.
 Q, Is there a difference between a multiplying shallot ana the multi plying onion? Mrs. s. A., Decatur, Ala.
 A. Yes. there Is a difference. The shallot is a smaller bulb and gener- ally produces a much larger clump than the onions. There is a wide range of different sorts of both shall lots and multiplying onions. It Is necessary to be specific as to what Is wanted when ordering.
 C. I have been told that tobacco stems placed around chrysanthemums would keep off insects and greatly increase the size of blooms How much should be used around each plant? Mrs. II. T.
 A. Tobacco stems are a valuable fertilizer for chrysanthemums and various other plants. They will often control root worms and root lice, but when placed around the plant or in the soil, could have little or no in-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-02

fluence in controlling Insects that attack foliage. From a half to 8 pint of broken up stems would suf- flee for a good size plant, much de- pending on variety, size and age of any plant.
 C. want a bed of the small Ice land poppies and have heretofore want to try seed. When should plant? Mrs. N, Albany, Ala. A, The seed should be planted now or in the next 30 days to bloom next season, as the plant is perennial.
 c. Is there a difference in varie- ties of rape seed? Last fall planted considerable that produced plants like common mustard or turnip. My understanding is that the leaves should be like kale or collards. Will you please give us the facts? L. L.. Florence, Ala.
 A. Yes. there are several different types of rape. You must have plant ed common rape or the small seeded varlety,> commonly called German rape. The only desirable sort is the Dwarf Essex rape, large leaved va riety, resembling collards and smooth -leaVed kale.
 o. What is n. cant by a green ma nuring crop? A. R., Oneonta, Ala.
 A. This term refers to any crop that is grown primarily for the pur- pose of turning under in order to enrich or put vegetable matter into the soil.
 Q. Can I buy the sets of the Prize | Taker onion in Birmingham? Mrs. P, Anniston, Alabama.
 A. No. They are not on this mar ket, but you can buy Yellow Danvers, White Silverskin. Yellow Bermuda, Crystal White, Wax Bermuda, white and yellow shallots and white multi | -f.N. II ATx,- setting out at this time of the year. 0. Is is time to plant what the Italian trucker sells for spinach beet? beet?gHoisfibn -d-ionou shrdlu beet?. Mrs. D. A., R. D. s.
 A. Spinach beet or Swiss ohard may be planted now and grown in the same way as you would grow beets. It makes no roots, but the tops produce the best of greens and plant is very resistant to both heat and cold.
 Q.N Is the white rutabaga as hardy and early as the yellow? R. E., War rior, Ala.
 A. It Is not only earlier but act ually much hardier and of better quality
 Q. Can one buy frostproof cab l bage plants now to set out and will they stand the winter? T. L., Leeds, Alabama.
 A. Most any variety of cabbage plants would answer and practically all would stand the average winters The most hardy would be the Savoy type. Plants of the latter are avail l able and will not disappoint.
 Q. Would stock beets make plant ed this late c. L., Hartselle, Ala.
 A. There is plenty of time for them to mature, as ordinarily they will grow on Into the winter months l There is difficulty in getting the seed up, but good culture and fertile soil will do the work. 0, Some of my monthly blooming roses have too much old wood. Would 1t hurt to cut it out? Mrs F.
 A. I don't think so. This treat ment would likely help the fall croI of blooms.
 Q. We want to plant oats right away and would like to mix In some thing that would be available fo1 hay or grazing after the oats are cut off in May. I. B., Boaz, Ala.
 A. There are numbers of grasses that would serve the purpose. such

 o. I see so many fine zlnnias I am wondering If I could grow this sea- son from seed Or could secure plants? Mrs. s.
 A. It is now too late to undertake zlnnlas for this seasons blooming, either from seed or plants. Better devote the ground to something else. Bulbs will be available shortly.
 o. How do you save sunflower seed and is there danger of heating? Mrs. S., Jemison, Ala.
 A, The heads should be ripe; that is, turn brown before cutting. Cut heads off carefully and store in house until thoroughly dry. The heads can then be beat in sacks or knacked against any solid, when the seed readily shell out. There Is no danger of seed heating as long as they remain in heads until e60s-' Cughly dry.
 6. We want to put out lot oS dwarf shrubs around our plant this fall and want to get in our estimate early. Can you suggest suitable
 A. If you desire shrubs as founda- ton planting around buildings, we could recomm mend the following: Bar berry thunbergii, dutZia, several va rieties of spIrea syringa, wiegelia and lespedeza siebaldi. Other plants would answer the purpose. More th- | formation Is needed

GERMANY COMPARED
 TO ROBINSON CRUSOE
Pyofessor's Remark In Leipzig
 School Arouses Socialist

BERLIN Sept. 1.~--Old Robinson Crusoe is in ill., reprte in Saxony. In a lecture to his class in the Leipzig Public school. Professor ReichaN cited Crusoe IS an example of what persistency would accomplish point ing out that he was not afraid to work a little overtime now and then when occasion demanded.
 Germany today" said the profess ---, cut off from the world as we are, might be compared with Crusoe on his island. But we must not despair We must keep up our hopes and our faith in the future.
 Crusoe accomplished things. He didn't cease work one minute. when the shadow of the sundal came around to the hour of noon or 6 Ia o'clock. We. Germans, should not be tafraid to work overtime now that bad times are upon us. Remember -tCrusoe, and bear in mind also our mothers at nome in the kitchens, ! who in the summer often labor from ' sun rise until long after dark. If we follow these leads we shall be able in the end to hold together"
 The day after the lecture the pro- lessor received a letter from so- cialist member of the school board taking him to task for his talk which the socialist considered an at tack upon the eight-hour principle. The board member took occasion to remark that if Crusoe worked more than eight hours daily it was be- cause there was nothing else to do during those days and nights he was on the island, or probably because Crusoe did not know any better.

 Q. Is 1t permissible to SOW Dallis grass now and should it be sown now or later? M. S, Clanton, Ala.
 A. You may SOW paspalum or Dal- lis grass any time from now until spring It is frequently sown in the fall with grain or grasses and be- comes established the following sea- son and affords valuable grazing for all classes of live stock.
 c. Will nasturtiums bloom if planted this late? Miss N. s.
 A. Very doubtful, l do not advise their planting.
 @. Would bug death or slugshCt be desirable for dusting on ferns to keep off bugs? Mrs. D., Tuscaloosa, Ala.
 A. It would depend on what Insect is troubling the plants. For ordinary leaf eating insects, these remedies are fairly efficient but many others are more effective. If you can sub init a specimen of infested foliage, we could prescribe definite remedy. o. We want to inCculate a lot of bur clover seed. Can you tell us what bacteria to use? T. w., OK ford, Ala.
 A. The bacteria for alfalfa sweet clover and bur clover is the same. Any brand thus labeled would do. The question of brand or make mat ters little. Fresh cultures are needed and may be obtained from any seed store.

FALL PLANTING VS. SPRING
 PLANTING.

In the South. many seeds can be Llanted either in the Fall or Spring. When fall planting is permissible, it generally gives much better results and such plantings should be encour aged for the reason that more time is available in fall than is usuairy the case in the busy spring. This not only applies to some vegetables, but the majority of grasses and clov- CTS as well as some desirable forage plants. The advantages of fall plant ing where permissible are many chief of which are, weed and grass control. Where grain, grasses and other forage plants are planted in the fall. they become established early cover the ground before the advent of wild grasses and thus are able in measure to choke out the undesr- ables, weeds and grasses. All small grain such as oats, wheat, rye and barley and practically all the clovers and grasses are better planted in the fall than in spring. Vetches must be planted in the fall. Other forage plants, usually planted in spring, do much better planted in the fall. Ask the AgeHerald what you want to know

WHY sow CLovERf

The people of Alabama are obsess- ed with the notion that clover will do no good in our state and it is a fact that certain varieties, such for ex- ample as common red clover, make indifferent growth in a large sec tin of the state, due mainly to ad- verse soil conditions. Red clover, however, is not the only clover and there are varieties that do succeed in Alabama. We refer to Alfalfa, but clover, alsrke, white and crim- son clover, all of which may be planting any of the clover family later. The advantages or results in planting any o fthe clover family might by summarized as follows: Glover does not exhaust the soil but improves it. The plant can be made into hay or turned under as a green maturing crop. The clover plant possessing a high fertilizing value will also aveate the soil and put it in a fine physical condition for sub sequent crops. The use of the clover plants will greatly reduce the fer tilizer bill. The varieties especially adapted to the South are crimson. al- sike, white, Japan, alfalfa and the sweet clovers.
