WHEAT SCORES GAINS,
CORN ALSO is STRONG
Bullish Showing Made Today by
Unofficial Reports on U. S.
Farm Reserves.

BT the AseDc1atcu ETNss
CHICAGO, March with an I'M
expected bullish showing made today
by unofficial reports on domestic farm
reserves, wheat and corn scored
sharp early advance. On the upturns,
however, profit-taking sales became
heavy. Opening unchanged to &c
higher. wheat soon rose all around.
Corn started unchanged to isc up, and
displayed even greater strength than
wheat. Oats and provisions held about
steady.
According to one leading crop expert,
present farm stocks of wheat in the
United States are only 100000
bushels, against an Swear average
of 144 ,O00, 900 bushels. Corn reserves
are down to 1850 900 900 bushels, COM
pared with 1919, 000,0 bushels last
wear, and the farm stock Of oats is
reduced to 409, 000, 900 bushels, against
ST. 900, 900 bushels in 1926. Empha-
sizing the scantiness of reserves, is
the fact that they include grains still
unguarded In the fields, regardless OF
quality.
Unusual relative strength shown by
the corn market today was ascribed
largely to a showing that the apparent
disappearance of corn in the four
months since November ] is
120. 900 900 bushels more than was the
case a year ago. This indicates that
farm-use has been about 34.000,000
bushels a month greater than last
year. end points to a farm-feeding
value deficiency of ESQ, 100000 bush
els in addition to actual bushei short

NEW YORK, March 1.-The cotton

The advance to l4.40 for May ana

were buyers here again, presumably
to fix prices, while there appeared to
be further broadening of Wall Street

Liverpool market.
The market later showed continued
frmness. Hedging and realizing sales
were in compalatively small volume

the market responded readily to buy

to represent further price fixing by

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Controlling Fate in Business.

Fatalists in the Orient spend a
passive. dangerous existence waiting
for their destiny to work itself.
That is the philosophy of &C
ceptance-the creed OF waiting for
something to happen.
In business the fatalistic view ex-
presses itself on the part OF those
who believe that their success is de-
pendent on external forces--buSiness
cycles---rather than. on their own
initiative and energy. AS a matter
of fact, although general economic
conditions must always be considered.
the genuinely successful men are per
petually fighting conditions, turning
seeming universities to their advan-
tage. They stand in sharp contrast
to fair weather business heroes, who
thrive only during periods OF great
prosperity.
Conscious Planning for Future.
The newer note in business is the
effort to control by conscious plan
ming the future of an enterprise.
Miss Mary p. Follett. authority on
problems in management. in an ad-
dress before the Taylor Society, re-
ported the current striving for man
made stabilized prosperity. "All of
u.s." she said. Including business
men, are accepting more fully perhaps
than ever before in the world the
idea that we can control our activl-
ties. In our individual lives the
tendency is no longer to submit to
fate, inheritance or even environ
ment We see this same trend of
thinking in the social sciences. Ros-
coe Pound writes of conscious con-
troll. John Maynard Keynes, an

which the doctrine Of laisse faire
must be abandoned in favor of de-
liberate conscious control.
Business is coming to be consid-
cred not so much q speculative under
taking as a social enterprise, resting
on scientific knowledge, comfortable
by further and further developments
in scientific methods. The dominant
thought of the twentieth century, the
contribution which the twentieth
century is giving the world. is a richer
idea of the meaning of control than we
have ever had before, and it is among
business men that we find those who
are doing perhaps more than any one
else to give that thought reality"
Capable managers chart the future
course of the enterprise-they do not
rely on blind chance and good fortune.
They mold conditions to their pro-
grams. If successful in their plan of
control, the business enterprise is a
success.
Swimming Against the Tide.
With the growth of business enter
prise in complexity it Is getting away
from one-man control. The chief exec
utive delegates authority to others, and
if he picks his aides wisely he has
little to do except to acquiesce in their
decisions.
This question of controlling the
course of business has an applicat ion
for the individual.
Too many men who fail to succeed
try to escape personal responsibility
by blaming adverse conditions. Genu-
inc success is found in the ability to
swim against the tides as well as with
them.
In terms of the individual, control
ling the future means using present
