CORN UPWARD;
WHEAT IS DOWN
Buying of Corn Based on Pre-,
dictions That December
Would Soon Reach 81

Chicago, Oct. 6.-R-Notable
strength in the corn market de-
veloped early today, whereas wheat
tended lower. Buying Of corn was
largely based on predictions current
in some quarters that December de-.
livery of corn would soon be selling
at 81 a bushel. Starting unchanged
to 1-2 cent off, corn later scored
gains all around. Wheat also start
ed unchanged to 1-2 cent off, and
subsequently showed a general sag,
with selling from the northwest.
Oats held steady. Provisions were
easy.
One of the leaders in the corn
trade was out with q statement to-
day to the corn situation has been
completely reversed in the last six
weeks. He said that under present
conditions there is a big profit in
feding, and that corn may also be
employed profitably through indus
trial channels, whereas six weeks
ago there was not single profitable
use. It was also cited that Decem-
Der contracts are now based on de-
livery of number two corn and that
lower grades are no longer deliver
able.
Large receipts Of wheat north
west, despite unfavorable weather,
had a bearish effect on the wheat
market. Arrivals Of wheat at Min
neapolis and Duluth today were re-
spectively 891 and 674 cars, against
total Of only 4e' cars year ago.
Winnipeg arrivals today were also
large, exceeding both last weeks
figures and those of a year ago.

At the Movies
CAPITOL.

All the clements which made "Thc
Bat" on the stage the most success
full play Of excitement, have been.
crystallizcd into a superb screen'
presentation by Roland West, which,
opens long-awaited engagement at
the Capitol Theatre next Monday.
Here we have murder done, rob-
berry attempted, pursuit frustrated,
mystery distilled and double-distilled
solution deferred, and denouemenl
that is all surprise. They are the
big ingredients of fascinating mys-
terry melodrama masterfully as
semblcd in 1.-THE Bat" as the most
ambitions effort Of the kind in
motion pictures.
"The Bat" takes its title from a
supcr-thug, so designated by the
press and police, and he leaves upon
the scene of his dcpredations the
mark of the bat as the emblem Of
his prowcss.
The main scene of these stirring
proceedings is a Long Island house
recently vacated by banker now
believed dead. and now by hard
boiled New York spinster who is
inclined to pooh-pooh anything that
seems sinister or supernatural. She
is gradually put on the ragged edge
by queer gongs-on in the house;
ghostly sounds, strange shots and
scuffles, and half dozen counter
plots in which she is concerned as a
partisan or as an eyewitness. She
determines to hold the fort, and en-
lists a detective and half dozen or
more friends and servants, and then
before her eyes murder is done.
Anyone of the others in the house. .
hold, or near by, may have done the !,
deed, and in fact everyone has some .
thing to hide, so that in the light
ning-like change of the plot no spec
tator can really guess the criminal.
1.-THE Bat with the magnificent re-
sources of the motion picture, has
been made into a marvel of sweep
ing movement, quick surprise and
astounding solution for the screen ,
by the notable producer Of such
screen successes as "Tha Unknown
Purple" and "The Monster"

Good Seed Growers
Will Be Advertised

Growers Of pure seed who have
had their fields inspected and the
seed certified will receive much val
liable advertising this year through
the distribution Of seed list under
the direction Of II. l.. Bolley Of the
North Dakota agricultural college
state seed commissioner.
Field crop inspectors have about
completed their summer work and
their reports are being tabulated,'
Mr.. Bolley says. BLANKS for appli-
cation for bin inspection will soon
be forwarded to the potato growers
The routing Of the bin inspector for
potatoes will be made out early in
October. The field crop inspectors
have reported favorably upon 4
large number of other kinds of seed
fields, particularly Of flax, bronze
grass, wheat and alfalfa.
"Undcr the new law we will build
a seed list this year showing not
only the names and addresses OF
those who have certified seed fol
sale, but those who have seed Of
high grade Of purity, freedom from
mixtures Of varieties will get /;
special listing recommending such
seed for sale and use for seed plots
preparatory to seed certification.
"Growers should submit samples
to the pure seed laboratory and
make application for ccrtification
and listing at the earliest date pos
sible. As these lists are sent to all
persons who wish to buy seed, this
service should be Of great advantage
to the growers and particularly to
citizens who wish to get reliable
seed"

Military Chiefs Of

New York, Oct. 6.-P)-Presidcnt
Wilson is called "that ass" and the
civil and military chiefs Of the al

in extracts Of the diary Of the late
Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson.
The extracts appear in the biog-
raphy Of Sir Henry, written by
Major General Sir C. E. Caldwell
and published today by Charles
Scribner's Sons.
The book carries a revelation by
Sir Henry that England was making
ready in 1910 for the war it expect
ed to fight with France against Ger
many on Belgian territory, and that
arrangements even for the landing
Of troops were being made then.
The diary says General Pershing
openly ridiculed 1.-THE League of
Peace"
Sir Henry was chief Of the imper-
ial general staff of the British army
in the last year of the conflict. In
June, 1922, he was assassinated on
the doorstep of his London home by
two Sim Feiners.

Care Should Be Taken
If PulletS Are to Law

II pulicts arc to be good LAYERS
they should have their proper growth
and vitality, is the contention OF
Prof. @. 4. Barton. head Of the poul-
try department, North Dakota agri-
cultural college. The proper growth
and vitality OF pullets is based on
early Matching. good feeding so they
VIII grow, sanitary conditions SO
they are not :tuntcd by disease and
Nermin and good housing a.. equip
ment. according Mr.. Barton.
1t is quite essential that the hatch
ing be done early enough in the
spring SO that the pnllets get their
growth before the cold weather sets
in, otherwise production is retarded.
To force pullets into production be-
fore they are matured is not advis-
able because they lay small eggs
and remain stuntcd.
To make proper growth in pullets
for a heavy winter egg production
1t is advisable to separate the sexes
when about three months of age.
1t is necessary to keep the pullets
growing we'll throughout the sum-
mer and early fall months by provid-
ing them with an ample supply OF
good growing ration, .ates Mr.. Bar
ton. The growing ration should be
rich in protein, mineral and vita
mines. A good supply of clean wa
ter and protection from adverse
weather are as essential as the ra-
ton. is the poultryman's contention.
I'VE have found the following
growing ration very satisfactory,
but realize that there arc many
others" says Mr.. Barton. Grain
two parts cracked yellow corn, two
parts wheat and one part plump
oats: mash 20 pounds fine ground
yellow corn, 20 pounds middlings, 20
pounds bran. 90 pounds sifted
ground oats, IL pounds meat scraps.
five pounds bone meal, two pounds
fine charcoal and one pound salt
FlOcks should Be CulIed
An efficient preparation for win
ter will involve the disposal Of all
surplus males as we'll as the dis
carded hens after carefully culling
the flock to make more room FOR
the pullcts. After THIS mas peeh
done it is advisable to thoroughly
clean and disinfect the laying houses
before putting tho pullets into them
to insure safety against parasites
and any lurking germs Of disease
The poultry houses should also be
thoroughly inspected to be sure that
the roof is water-tight, that ali
cracks and crevices in the walls
are stopped up 50 that there will be
no drafts on the birds, as these con-
ditions bring on colds and roup. All
equipment, including the nests,
roosts, dropping boards, feed and
water containers should be we'll
cleaned and rendered absolutely
sanitary, continues Mr.. Barton.
