STOCK LETTER


 NEW YORK, May s.-Today's stock market was a sluggish affair with very few interesting features. Trading was again thoroughly professional and about the only activity centered in Sinclair and American Can. The former sold down to new low. figures but rallied again later in the day. American Can displayed a strong tone, although 1t did not gain much headway. Stakeholder held about as strong as usual and as there will be no trading in the old stock after Satur- day the short interest have been cover ing up. Among the rails Delaware and Lackawanna stood out prominently gain ing about $3. New Haven was traded in in large blocks during the afternoon at advancing prices. It looks as though New Haven is in line for higher prices South ern Pacific and Union Pacific, declared their regular dividends. Steel drifted within narrow range. Coppers held firm and outside of a little softness in the oils and stronger tone to the rails there was nothing of interest all day. Beane to Kahn 6 Virgin.

III k-ED WXsrrns G - anu NftAt 4ucSbtou Ati lhousanus and thousands of homes at Ibis season. In fact. it is a question lF great importance in more homes to- lay than ever before, for the reason lhat larger and larger number of
 hose who go through college now en-
 Pr the commercial or industrial or fi-
 ancial world.
 I have discussed this question with a Hundred or more men who have at- lhined notable success outside of the
 professions" TheIe has been in re- Ifnt yearsa change of attitude among lch men. Ten or fifteen years ago Il he majority of our business leaders, H Rrticularly those who had not enjoyed II college education, took the view that H he time. spent at college would be more
 politically spent gaining practical expe- ence. In those days business and fi- Ances were not quite so complicated, tere not conducted on quite so large Il scale sas today.
 The more common view held now by
 IccessfUl men of affairs s-that a col fge education is worth the prime. M t54- Ts.E t-------- afis sHe-. -S@
 Business used to be. largely mat Pr of rule-of- thumb. Such an express
 lon as "the science of business" was
 Iot used by our fathers. Business was Il ben much simpler than it is today. lf was usually confined to more or 4 kss restricted area. Production was limited. Financing was largely a mat fr ofstalk and arrangement with the 4 peal banker or bankers. The study of economies, the study world wide conditions, the, study of international political and social and
 nancial developments. the study of lew markets at home and abroad--such Judy was not half so necessary as it
 today.
 1 believe it will be generally admit ed nowadays that it requires as much rains to manage successfully busi- ess coilcerH of magnitude as it does ? bec0pie successful doctor, teacher. reacher,E or engineer. In the olden avs business did not demand as much
 bility .Ors:as thorough training as it pes now.
 Of course there are two sides to this
 uestion. A very large number of our business leaders never saw the inside f a college. There spring to mpd business names of men who did not Iraduate from college: Andrew Car Iegie, George Eastman, James B. Duke, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller
 James J. Hill, George F. Baker, Sam Iel lnsull, John c. Shedd, Henry c. Trick, Efank w. Woolworth, Robert pollars William L. Douglas, A. O.. Eedford, ". c. Durant,. Thomas A. Edison. James A. Farrell, E. H. liar iman.

Well get a fishin' license,
From the fishin' license man
Get up very early
And beat it to the DAM
When o go a fishin'
Just take a fryin' pan,
Have fish for your dinner,
Eat up all you can.
There never was a time
When coffee lasts SO good
AS when we go a fishin'
And cook it over wood.
Now look out for officers
AS other fellers do;
They'll ask to see your license;
You'd better have one too.
You know there is no better trout
Than Wyoming streams produce;
So don't work all the season
For really what's the use?

HIGH BEET YIELDS
WITH GOOD SEED BED

Beet seed bed fitting was possible in a few favor
ed localities within the last week. But for the most
part this work is just ahead for the large majority of
growers
This is a critical time. The nature of the seed
bed will largely determine the stand. To a marked
degree the nature of the seed bed also is related to
final yields. Appearance of diseases among the
young plants and their resistance to diseases are af-
fected by the seeded.
Therefore, early and THOROUGH preparation
of the beet seed bed, FIRMING 1T TO A PRING
CONDITION., has the most important bearing on
this years best prospects.
Most farmers know just the right time to pillow
harrow and plant. They know the bad effects of;
pudding the soil either at blowing or planting time.
Let us not permit the lateness of beet seed PRE-
or PLANTING TO DRAW US INTO
HASTY WORK
Do not plOw soil that is too, wet. Drilling Of
beet seed should not be done when the ground is
wet enough to adhere to press wheels or drill shoes.
Yet, let us not lose the splendid moisture in the soil
by failing to pillow at the proper moment or by fail
ing to harrow Immediately afterward.
CONSERVATION OF THIS SOIL MOISTURE
is VITAL BECAUSE THE MORE QUICKLY THE
BEET SEEDS GERMINATE AND COME o
THE SURFACE THE BETTER WILL BE THE
STANDA AND H MORE %VIGOROU WILL BE
THE PLANTS.
Evaporation is a cooling process. Therefore, a
crumble mulch which retards evaporation improves
the soil temperature for termination. Too fine a
mulch, however, followed by a rain or an irrigation
may crust the soil dangerously, or the fine dust
mulch will dry out and fail to terminate the beet
seed.
scale. And the care exercised in preparing a good
garden seed bed should be followed in fitting the soil
for sugar beets.
