That the baby chick industry is in
danger of destruction thru white diar-
rhoea is the statement made by DIR. H.
Z. Newsom, Veterinary Pathologist of
Colorado Agricultural college. This
disease is carried in the egg and de-
velops during the first three or four
days of the life of the chick. A blood
test is now being applied which in
dicates whether or not hen is carry

BULLS WITH SORE FEET
CLIMB MOUNTAIN SIDES
WHEN TOOTSIES ARE SHOD

In Utah forest cattlemen arc using
purebred Shorthorn bulls, writes VIII
c. Barnes in western range story in
the Breeders Gazette. They are big,
heavy fellows, and the range is rough
and rocky. The result is they get
sore feet and hang around the water
ing places where the ground is soft
and easy on their feet.
Some progressive permittee sug-
gested shoeing them as work oxen
were shod in the early days. A keg
of OK shoes were shippd in, and a
grand bull-shoeing time was had by
all. "The bulls went to the pinnacles
right away" says the range supervis-
or, reporting it, "and came of of the
ranges in the fall in excellent condi-
tion."
"Many years ago in northern AM
zona," continues Mr.. Barnes, 1--WE used
to drive trail herds across the Tonto
Basin, where the country was awfully
rough and rocky. When big steer
got tender-footed and refused to
bulge an inch, we would slam him
down on his side and nail four second
hand saddle horse shoes on his 'toot-
sies.' Next day he could be found in
the lead of the herd. Once we un-
loaded a shipment of steers at Albu-
querque, N. NJ, for feed and water.
When the car doors were opened sew
eral shod steers pranced merrily out
upon the platform at the stockyards.
They made a noise like cats on a tin
roof as they charged around, scared
half to death at the unseemingly rack
ct they were making. Comment from
the men about the stockyards came
thick and fast. Shod steers were new
ones on them"

EXCITED JUMP
IN COTTON PRICE
Due Chiefly TO Unfavor.
able Advices Regard
ing Crop Conditions

NEW YORK, May 9.-There was an
excited advance in the cotton market
today which seemed chiefly due to un'
favorable crop advice, although it was
led by the old crop positions. May con,
tracts sold up to 31.35c or 118 points
net higher and closed at 1.30c with the
general market closing very steady at
net advances of II to 113 points.
The market opened firm at, an adj
vance of tos27 points in response
to relatively firm Liverpool cables and
unfavorable weather reports from the
south. New crop months were relatively
firm early making it appear that the
trading was becoming more seriously
impressed by number reports that cot
ton would have to be replanted in some
sections of the south and that dry warm
weather was urgently needed. As prices
worked higher without meeting in
creased offered buying became more ac-
tive and the demand from near month
shorts was stimulated In the afternoon
by bullish view Of the weekend sta
tistics indicating a decrease of liz, 900
bales in the visible supply Of American,
compared with $1,000 last year July
sold at 2925c and October at 25.35c,
the market closing at nearly. the best.

MARKET REFLECTS
COTTON CROP NEWS
Early Decline Checked BY In
crease In Demand

NEW YORK, May. 9.-The increas-
ing importance of weather and crop
news has been reflected by the action
Of the cotton market during the past
week Prices eased off sharply at the
beginning OF the week, owing to reports
of better weather in the south, but the
decline was checked by the appearance
of an increased demand on scale down
from the "a cent level for October, and
the market later advanced on reports
of low temperatures, too much rain and
necessity for replanting cotton in some
sections of the southwest. Buying on
these features was promoted by the con-
tinued steadiness of Liverpool and
rather bullish weekend statistics with
the result that the price Of Man con-
tracts sold up to the 81 cent level while
October which had sold at 23.S4c on
Monday advanced to nearly the 2515e
mark.
The buying Of new crop positions here
OF the decline early in the week was
accomplished by reports that both for
eign and domestic trade interests were
buying cotton for early new crop ship
ment from the south. The bulk of this
demand was believed to be for export
account, and it was understood that the
business was based on October con-
tracts in New York. These advices sug-
gested that contracts for early new.
crop deliveries was going into strong
hands and toward the end of sthe week
unfayorahle crop advices from the
south seemed to be making a. more seri-
GUS impression on sentiment. The
weather has been too cool at night,
while there have been frequent showers
or rains and reports have been report
ing the trade here Of delayed germina-
ton and complaints of lice have also
been received. No very definite figures
have been mentioned, but according to
some adyices considerable cotton will
have to be rebIanted in western belt
sections. There was mere or less gem
erai comment among local brokers to-
day that the south was urgently fn
need Of dry warm weather for the next
ten days or fortnight il the end-1fay
condition figures were not to make an
unfayofable showing,
Private cables have reported trade
buying in Liverpool with continental
buying of new crop positions and these
advices have been taken by some Of the
local traders as indicating that more
cotton is needed abroad to supply rs

WHEAT VALUES
SENT UPWARD
Estimate OF Decrease In
Acreage Adds Stimu-
lus To Advance

CHICAGO, May 9.-Wheat prices
advanced. today, receiving much Of
their stimulus from an estimate Of S.
900, 900 acres decrease of wheat territory
this year in the northern hemisphere.
Likelihood of freezing weather in Kan
sas with. a possibility of the McNary-
HaugeA> bill being attached to the rev
enue bilfSin the Senate had a further
bullish Influence. q
Wheat closed first Sole net
higher, May, $1.045s to $1.04A and
July, $i.06 3-S to $1.O6 3-8@H with
corn " to 1 3-Sc up, oats at 1901 A
to Lac advance, and provisions un-
changed at Toe lower.
At the outset, wheat responded a
little to opinions that the government
crop report was to be construed as
bullish but the market soon underwent
a setback as result Of selling attribu-
ted to the northwest. 1t was at this
stage ! that almost simultaneously the
renewal Of gossip about the McNary-
Haugen bill developed and that the
estimate Of decreased acreage became
public. The acreage figures were is
sued by leading authority here and
were from IS of the principal countries
north of the equator. Throughout the
remainder of the day, the course of
the market was upward, with the Kan
sas crop outlook being given attention
near the close.
Anxiety about the Kansas wheat
crop was based on reports that wheat
there has jointed and would be liable
to serious damage from frost. The
fact that snow and rain with near
freezing Temperatures were indicated
for the Grain belt as whole was also
disquieting as pointing to delay in the
planting Of corn, the time being rapid
" narrowed in which the corn crop
can be planted to advantage.
Word Of 100000 bushels of corn
bought FOR. export tended somewhat to
strengthen the corn market and so did
denial Of reports that corn milling
plant had shut down. Oats demand
improvedga little.
Provisions fluctuated in line with
hog values.

NEW ORLEANS, May s.--rhe cotton
market was active from start to finish.
Prices tended upward practically ali day
except for an abortive attempt at re-
action about the middle Of the morning.
The feature Of the day was the strength
of near positions. Although trading In
May was not heavy that month neverthe-

figure, showing net gain OF an even 100
points. July advanced with heavy trading
on short covering reaching 1850 at the
very end or 9S points net higher. October
ADVANCED to 24.62c and December to 24.40c,
or 7s and and ~ points ebove the, previous si.o,,

to 100 points.

1.-THE wool market continued erratic and
generally in favor of the buyer. Manufac-
turers, naturally are not trying to stiffen
prices for Wool indeed they have.Iittle to
encourage themAin the goods market and
so the wool merchants are rather honpluss-
ed over the future. -
In the west operations have been more
or less subordinated to the one big deal,
that is, negotiations for the Pericho woods,
of which the highest bid Monday was
4O%e These bids being refused an option
was taken for a few days at 43c,. which
was fixed BY the selling committee as the
minimnr. Last year Sic was paid for
this clip.

NE wYORK. May 9.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Evidence Of trade and industrial recess
sion seem to have come more clearly to
view this week than at any previous time
since last summer. Wholesale trade has
tended to increase quiet, and industry,
aside from building and kindred trades,
has slowed up further. Against this is
TO be noted a slight gain in some areas
where weather conditions have permitted.
or where, as in California, the severity
Of cattle diseases guarantees has been
relaxed and a measurable return to some
thing like normal trade is reported. The
pre-occupation of farmers in crop work
has tended to restrict country buying and
unseasonably cooler wet weather has also
been deterrent In large Industrial cen=
ters in the leading coal mining regions
and in eastern and southern textile man
ufacturing sections mention is made OF
reduced industrial employment affecting
retail buying"
