IRON WORKS FIRM
IS INCORPORATED
w. HI. Daniel Business Shows
Steady Growth

Another step forward has been taken
by w. H. Daniel, who, for the past
several years has been building up a
substantial business in ornamental iron
work under the name of the Daniel
Machine company. He has incorpor-
ated his business as Daniels Orna-
mental Iron and Wire corporation.
with a capitalization of $4,000, of
which 500, 400 is paid in.
Steady growth of the business has
necessitated an enlargement Daniel
says, which has already been preceded
by several additions to the plant at
1851 Third avenue.
Daniel started in business seven
years ago in an office at the rear end
Of his residence. From there he trans
fered it to the present location, but
occupied at first only about half of
the present space covered by the plant.
Products manufactured by this COM
pany cover a wide range of ornamental
iron and wire work. 1t is said to be
the only company in Birmingham
manufacturing wire work.
Officials of the incorporation are
W. H. Daniel, president and treasurer;
1. 3. Waddell, vice president, and c.
N. Orman, secretary.

COTTON ACTIVE
AS PRICES. RISE
Period Advancing Prices
Despite Some Little
Reaction

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 25.-
The week just passed witnessed greater
activity in the cotton market than
characterized the several weeks pre-
ceding. 1t was a period of advancing
prices, although there were fairly wide
fluctuations with some reactions and
liquidation. The net result showed July
at the end of the week 122 points
higher than on the preceding Satur-
day, while October made a net gain of
1853 points.
Although the week witnessed the
final phases of the liquidation of the
May option, it was understood that
considerable cotton would be rendered
for actual delivery before the month
expires in the local market at noon
Monday. 1t was expected that all offer
ing would be promptly absorbed and
the final price would be near the high
est of the recent upward movement,
as was the case with the May posi-
ton in New York when that month
finally went out there at noon Friday
after about 10000 bales had been
rendered on contracts in that market.
The July position was advanced dur
ing the week by practically the same

ton, namely, the rapid dwindling of
available stocks through liberal exports
and the prospects that shorts in the
last of the active old crop positions
will have an even harder time hquidat-
ing than did the shorts in May.
The week was additionally featured
by growing activity in the new crop
positions. The continuance of unfavor-
able cool weather retarded the pro-
gress of the new crop, forced extern
sive replanting, and created conditions
which most traders believe will force
the government to issue lower condi-
ton average reported for May 25 last
year. AS a result of the unfavorable
weather which has prevailed traders

NEEDS
MORE ACREAGE
AVER EXPERTS
Estimated Population Is
Soon To Exceed Food
Supply, Is Claim

WASHINGTON, May a.. The
problem of feeding the country's grow
ing population has been occupying the
attention of the department of agri-
cultures economists who today an
nounced that about 3S,O00,00O acres
would have to be added to the ma
tons present actual crop land to sup
port population of 150,000,000 per-
sons. Statisticians have estimated the
population of the United States by it's
natural increase alone and without any
addition from immigration, will amount
to that number shortly after 1850.
AT least half the acreage, including
that required for work stock, now en-
ployed in the production of export goods,
it is estimated, will continue to be de-
voted to that purpose. Allowing for
that prbability, the experts figure the
total area of land needed to sustain
population of 150,000,000 persons
with no greater dependence on impor-
tants than now exists will be 453, 0O0,-
600 acres. Addition Of a little more
than 100000 acres a year would bring
the nations crop acreage up to that
able little more than 600,000000 acres
of potential crop land but much of it
is poor quality.
1t should be possible, the agricul-
tural experts declare, by careful selec-
ton to get much of the required acre
age for the heavy land of the cut-over
region, from the best of the 1852, 000,-
600 acres of available medium textured
soils, or from land suitable for dry farm
ing. These possibilities, they said,
should make it unnecessary to claim a
very large area by drainage or irriga-
ton.

SURPLUS FUNDS
AID BOND PRICES
IN WEEKS RISE
Trading Sentiment En-
couraged By Scramble
For New Issues

NEW YORK, May 25.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. EASY money rates and
surplus bank funds last week counter
acted the unfavorable effects of the
bonus bill enactment on bond trading
and prices, after wavering temporarily,
forged ahead into higher ground. Sen
ate agreement on the tax bill, eliminat-
ing some of its most Objectionable fea-
lures, contributed to the markets re-
covery.
Trading sentiment unquestionably
was encouraged by the scramble for
several attractive new bond issues
which were marketed. Chief among these
were the New York Central S25,000,-
600 equipment certificates, $20,000,-
600 of which were reported sold priv
ately and $15,00O,O00 Great Northern
5s, all of which were placed without
recourse to a public offering.

Liberty Bonds Rise
A sharp advance in liberty bond

ployment of surplus funds by banks
and other large institutions. Earlier in
the week, United States government OBJ
legations underwent a reaction under
liquidation inspired by passage of the
bonus bill. The lower levels, however
attracted larger volume of buying
which overflowed into the investment

Little change took place in the
Montana crop prospects during the
month of August. Crop condi-
lions at harvest time and on Sept.
/ indicate a total wheat crop of
over 100000 bushels this
year, while other crops except
corn give promise of somewhat
exceeding the forecasts of Aug. 1,
according to the crop report just
issued by George A. Scott, federal
statistician for the Montana Coop
erative Crop Reporting Service.
Now that the bulk of wheat, oats
and hay crops have been harvested,
and the outcome of the other crops
can be fairly we'll told, it becomes
apparent that the farmers of the
state will harvest considerably
greater total crop tonnage than last
year. More important than this,
these crops promise to return to the
growers more total cash than any OF
the past three years.
Alternately hot and cool periods
prevailed in August and light frosts
were had in most of the counties, but
little injury to crops was done up to
1. Rainfall came mostly
as local rains or showers, and not all
sections received these, and they
were of no great benefit to growing
crops. Farmers were very busy in
August with harvesting, haying and
threshing, and weather conditions
were mostly favorable for this work.
Corn failed to make the progress to-
ward maturity that was hoped for,
