COTTON MARKED
 BY INACTIVITY
Fluctuations Extremely Narrow Week Prior To
 Crop Report

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 7.-The past week in cotton was marked by unusual dnllness and characterized by the mar rowest fluctuations in prices that have been experienced in long time. In Saturdays market, for example, the ex- treme spread between highs and lows in active months was only eight points and Friday it was only 15 points, which was established during the first hour of trading. After that fluctuations hardly exceeded , points.
 The small trading and the narrow price range were attributed to the long interest having been well eliminated during the declines of the preceding week and the bulk of the short interest having covered late. .in that period and early in the week just closed. As both sides of the account were well liquid ated, apparently there was no desire to enter upon fresh commitments until after the governments final crop esti- mate due tomorrow morning.
 Taking the week as whole, the extreme range was 70 points as Jan- uary contracts traded down to 22.85 Tuesday after. closing at 23.55 the previous Satu1 lay. Rallies later in the week cut down this loss until yester- days closing at 23.16 showed a net loss for the week of 39 points.
 The trade is looking for an estimate between 13,200,000 and 13,300,O00 bales. It that figure is realized or ex- ceeded prices will in all probability ease eff, but should the estimate prove to be 13,1O0,000 bales or under prices are likely to advance at least temporarily.

PASTOR SCORES
 DO NOTHINGS'
Inactive Christians Are Cirti- cised By Dr. George Stuart

Church workers who fail to take an active part in the church were scored by Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor of the First Methodist church, in his sermon on "The Weakest Negative Spot in Christianity" Sunday night.
 This weak spot, as characterized by Rev. Stuart is the inefficiency of the Christians. who do nothing but occupy their pews in the church. and these "do- nothings' are practically useless.
 Every department of business makes development" Rev. Stuart said. "A professional lawyer can handle any phase of his profession. A doctor will direct sufferer toward the road to health. But Christian, oftimes, does not lift his hand toward furthering the great work.
 If we could bring all the churches and all Christians into an active march ing force with every private in the great host pressing forward, Christianity would soon capture the world

Bessemer Ministers AID. peal For Success Of
 Campaign
(Bessemer Bureau,)

BESSEMER, Ala, Dec. 7.-Bes- semers $125, 5,000 Y. M. c. A. campaign gets under way today.
 Yesterday, from every pulpit in the city appeals for the cause were made. Ministers recounted the benefits which grow out of such an organization they plead for the fulfillment of promises made the young men of Bessemer five years ago when the unfinished build ing was begun; and they urged their hearers to give until it hurts," promis- ing to strengthen precept with example.
 At the last morale meeting" held at the Y. NJ. c. A. building yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, all but few of the 155 workers were present. It was more of religious service than a bus mess meeting. The talk was largely of faith and work. One gathered the im- pression that prayer is to play no un- important part in the campaign that is about to open.
 Workers in the campaign have been divided into 24 teams of five men each. In addition there is corporation committee" 35 strong. There are also captains and ''colonels" who have been charged with general supervision of the canvass.
 Monday will be devoted to securing subscriptions among the workers them selves and others not listed as prospects These will all be seen by Monday night There are $500 individuals and firms, card-indexed as prospective subscribers. The work of seeing these will begin Tuesday morning.
 Throughout the campaign, dinner meetings will be held each evening at the " building. Monday reports will be received of the canvass among the workers It is expected that these re- turns will run the total subscribed to date to around $30,000. This will leave $95, 1000 to be raised during the re- mainder of the week.
 At the meeting yesterday confidence was expressed that the bulk of this sum will be subscribed within the next three days

SPEAKS TO VETERANS

Speaking to veterans of Camps Hardie and Wilcox, Sunday morning Dr. J. A. Bryan, pastor of the Third Presbyterian church, declared, '.the world is trying to do away with the family altar, the Holy Sabbath, and the teachings of the ten command ments."
 And we as humble Christians can not by Gods help, surrender. God says T will not fail thee
 Every seat in the church auditorium was filled when pr. Bryan began his discourse. He stated that many years ago when he would preach to the veterans, as he recalled, Camp Hardie numbered 1SS yetertans, but that now all had passed into the land of shadows save about 20.
 Following his sermon Dr. Bryan drew the following conclusions;
 '1The Christian fights the devil temptations are to overcome. We take the shield of faith whereby we shall be able to Quench all the fiery darts of the wicked"
 Some of the fiery darts are selfish ress, unbelief, envy, strife, hatred, jeal- Ousy. an unforgiving spirit, indiffer- ence, criticism, egotism, stinginess, many others All are darts in the hand of the devil
 Faith, heart, faith in our Lord Jesus is one the great weapons we can fight the devil with and come out of the battle victors. This only makes satan tremble and fear.
 "The Christian is in a fight against the world and the things of the world. He overcomes by living faith in q living Christ. 1 John , :3-"For what soever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory which overcometh the world even our faith"

SPEAKS OF SCIENCE

Science and religion go hand in hand, and each has separate sphere Rev. Henry NJ. Edmunds declared Sunday night in his sermon on Science and Religion" at the Lyric theater. There is no conflict, he added, when science does not try ot usurp the function of the church, or the church does not attempt to step into the sphere allotted to science.
 In his sermon, Dr. Edmonds dweled upon the scientific discoveries made in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries by Bruno, Calico and several others, upon whose teach ing are based a large part of mod ern science.
 Dr. Edmonds also stressed the point that the greatest and almost all scien- tific truths have come from Christian countries. Another high spot in the sermon was the declaration that while there has been conflicts between church and science on isolated subjects, they travel harmoniously for the most part

REyIEWs "MAN's BATTLES"

The conflict which rages in mans inner consciousness was the subject of Rev. Trevor Mordecai's sermon on "Bloodless Battles" at the First Pres byterian church Sunday night. Alter reviewing some of the greatest battles in the worlds history, Rev. Mordecai said:
 They are not to be compared with some of the bloodless conflicts that men have fought unaided alone, be- hind closed doors.
 But because these battles are fought in secret, unaccompanied by the strains of martial music, unhearalded by shot and shell, they are no less firece; the hero is no less distinguished. In fact, l am persuaded that the heroism ot the saint is sometimes greater than the heroism of the soldier or sailor who demonstrated his courage in the heat of the moment, and before the eyes Of the world"

preached to large congregation Sun day morning. Dr. Wheeler said in part {:
 ''The way in which multitudes of people spend the Sabbath, the popular tendency to drift away from God, and the increasing number of those who do not go to church show we have come into the time of the Great Falling Away"
 Our selfish pleasures have became a substitute Things which appeal to selfish nature on Sunday morning are more numerous than ever before. Satan knows that if he can keep Christ out of the minds of people the first day of the week, he will have easy sailing the other six.
 There are some who are saying. Away with the doctrines of Christian ity, give us religion that will teach men to be better citizens and better neighbors," and many of our preachers are yielding to this demand and are feeding their people upon husks, rather than the living Bread from Heaven.
 There is such strong tendency today to introduce things which merely tickle the senses, rather than touch the hid den depths of the soul. Christ predicted the time when mems ears would itch to hear foolish things.

Sweet Clover Superior
as Soil Improving Crop

Sweet clover actually makes three
kernels grow where one grew before,
according to farmers with thin land
who have tried this legume for soil
Improvement.
One of the many examples of the
value of sweet clover for this purpose
on record at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college is that Of John Fry Of
Independence.
A number of years ago he realized
that he couldn't produce wheat profit
ably in Montgomery county with a
yield of eight bushels to the acre.
He heard of sweet clover and began
to grow it for soil improvement pur
poses, where formerly he had been
harvesting eight bushels Of wheat to
the acre. In 1921 he produced %
bushels to the acre, in 1922, 221a BUSH
els, and in 1923 he produced 10 BUSH
els to the acre. Mr.. Fry has grown
sweet clover since 1912. He says 1t is
the greatest pasture crop for horses
and will carry three to four head of
cattle per acre. He believes from the
standpoint of soil fertility sweet clover
is the best crop that can be raised In
that section.

Insects and Diseases
Controlled by Spraying

. Spraying is the most effective way
Of controlling insects and fungus dis
eases attacking fruits. In order
that spraying may be done intelll-
gently and satisfactorily, the orchard
list should have practical knowledge
of the insects and diseases which af-
feet his crop.
Fruit insects may be divided into
rwo classes: Sucking insects and
chewing insects.
The sucking insects, such as San
Jose scale and aphids Commonly
known as plant lice). extract their
food from the sap of plants. These
are combated by contact sprays
which must strike the insects them
selves. Lime sulphur, liquid or dry, oil
emulsion. and miscible oils are used
against scale insects; nicotine sui
phate, a commercial tobacco prepara-
ton, and oil emulsions are used against
aphids.
The chewing insects. such as the
codling moth, plum curculio. and
cankerworm. actually eat the fruit or
foliage, These are destroyed by
poisoning their food. Lead arsenate
Is the standard material used against
chewing insects.

Township Adopts Novel
Plan to Improve Stock

A novel method of improving the
live stock of Mount Hope township in
the state of Washington Is being intro
duced by the newly organized better
stock association. The plan of the or
ganization as reported to the United
States Department of Agriculture by
Il. D. Metcalf is to limit the farm ami
mails in the township to one breed for
each class of live stock.
Belgian horses, Guernsey cows and
Duroc-Jersey swine are the breeds that
have been selected. 1t is further
planned that only pure bred sires be
used in the community, and that be-
fore the end of year each member
of the association will have at least
one registered animal of one of the
breeds chosen by the organization.

GIVE ORCHARD CARE
TO OBTAIN PROFITS

A farm orchard to be worth while
for.
AN orchard which is started and
then left to take care Of itself will
never become source Of pride or Of
much good fruit" says ]. G. Moore,
horticultural department Of the Uni.
versity of Wisconsin In . new orchard
bulletin.
Choose the orchard site carefully. A
tract with soil adapted to a wide
range of fruits. slightly elevated and
located near the house Is preferable" /"
he urges.
Hardness Is the first consideration
in selecting varieties. A farm or.
chardist may experiment with new
and untried varieties, but the greater
part of the planting should be Of
standard varieties adapted to the par
ticular section. Good care Of the trees
before planting, careful planting. and
proper pruning after planting are alb
solutely necessary II satisfactory re-
suits are to be secured.
THE system Of soil management
should be adapted to the character of
the site. On lands level enough to cul-
tivate, the tilfage-cover crop system Is
probably best. Cropping with culti-
waited crops Is permissible in n young
orchard II care Is exercised not to In
iure the plants either temporarily or
permanently. Never use young or
chard ms pasture. The average farm
orchard which has been bearing for
some time needs fertilizer. Manure or
commercial fertilizers which supply
nitrogen are usually most beneficial
Best results in fertilization can only
be attained when the orchardist makes
n careful study of the performance of
his trees. Lack of fruitfulness may re-
suit either from too much or too little
twig and branch growth"
Neglect Of pruning means trouble
later on" says Moore "Pruning
should start ms soon as the tree Is
planted and should be done annually
during the life Of the tree. Alternate
neglect and spasmodic pruning results
in n poorly formed and less productive
tree.
spraying is necessary to the pro-
duction Of good fruit and healthy trees.
It Is preventive not remedial. Only
effective spraying Is worth while. It
is effective only when the proper ma
terials are thoroughly applied at the
proper time. Have spraying program
and follow 1t persistently unless you
are sure that you can improve upon 1t.
II your orchard is too small to war
rant the purchase Of a power sprayer
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of organizing
spray ring among your neighbors
who are similarly situated. Orchard
pest control in small orchards will be
more efficient and less expensive in
spray ring than when done by the
Individual orchardist."

Killing Out Bluegrass

Cultivating alfalfa after the second
rrop Is taken Off in order to kill blue
grass will be found the most satisfac-
tory practice. At this time the soil Is
apt to be dry and 1t Is easier to kill
the bluegrass Cultivation comes at a
time when 1t will be big help in
conserving soil moisture. Some farm
ers cultivate their alfalfa fields early
In the spring, using disk or har-
row. and follow each cutting by cul-
t.vation. Often this is necessary If
the bluegrass is not killed out by the
spring cultivation.
