Determine Kind of Lime
to Use and the Amount

Several factors should be considered
in determining the kind of lime to use.
These are: cost of material. character
Of the soil and the rapidity of action
required. Ground limestone. on ac-
count Of its milder action, will as a
rule be found the better material to
use.
The amount of lime to apply nat
urally varies with the nature of the
soil and the degree of acidity. Gen.
orally speaking, two tons of ground
limestone to the acre should be suffi-
Gent, although in some cases much
larger quantities may be found neces-
sary.

Marketing Can Be
Further Improved.
Co. Operative Organizations
Can Do Much by Han
ding Commodities.

Cooperative marketing organiZa-
tons can improve marketing methods,
expand the market for their products.
obtain as fair a price as the demand
justifies and promote better produc-
ton practices, declares D. N Donald
son, associate economist at the Col.
orado Agricultural college.
Improved marketing methods will
come about by increasing the efficiency
Of the present marketing machinery"
Mr.. Donaldson says. "Some agricul-
turar products can be handled more
cheaply than they are being handled
at present.
Market Gluts Wasteful.
shipments in less than carload lots
and the handling of commodities many
times contribute to heavy marketing
costs. Market gluts are wasteful and
expensive and any scheme that will
overcome congestion in the distribut-
ing centers will benefit both producer
and consumer.
"With some commodities, especially
those of perishable nature, the Op-
portunity for market expansion Is
great. The consumer cannot be in
duced, to any great degree, to in
crease his consumption of staple
products such as bread and meat.
However, he will respond quite read
lily to clever food appeals If they suit
his fancy. The cooperative can aid
materially in this respect.
"Co-operatives acting together as a
collective bargaining group can OBJ
tain as fair a price for their product
as the market conditions justify. This
does not necessarily mean that the
fair price will be their fixed price, but
will be the price determined by COM
petition in a particular market.
Grading Farm Products.
Standardization and grading Of
farm products rests largely with the
producer. Co-operatives can promote
better cultural practices among their
members. When a better grade Of
product is produced and offered for
sale, the problem of marketing will
be half solved. Cooperation should
begin on the farm"

Soy Beans Will Prove
Good Emergency Crop

Soy beans will prove a good hay
crop to turn to this spring in case no
alfalfa or clover was started a year
or more ago or In case these crops
fail to come through the winter in
good condition. 1t is not a better
roughage crop than alfalfa or clover
and should never be, so considered.
Unfortunately. both alfalfa and clover
sometimes winterkill or fail for some
other reason. Ton for ton. soy bean
hay may be equal in feeding value to
alfalfa and possibly little better than
common red clover or alsike, but the
feeding value is not the only thing to
consider in the growing Of forage
crops.

Valentine Presents

Not so very long ago. in some parts
Of England valentines were something
more than we understand them today.
Not only were messages and verse
decorated by hearts and darts. sent by
post, but on the eve of st. Valentine
day it was the custom to leave on the
doorsill of friends presents OF all
kinds. Such bulky articles as a desk
and an armchair were known to have
been left there. The donor would then
knock and disappear to watch from
soEse vantage point until the door was
opened and the valentine present
taken in.

Nothing Sedate About
Valentines of Today

Sedate stanzas whispering guarded
ly of love characterized the early
American valentines, as shown In a
collection made by the Chicago His
torical society. Changing times pro-
duced more direct expression until in
1880. the collection reveals, the valen-
tine verse makers leave no doubt Of
the senders' amorous sentiments.
The earliest valentine shown is dat
ed 1900, but all before 1850 were hand
made affairs, generally red heart
with pretty but proper inscription.
Miss Esther Rowland began making
valentines commercially in 1851, the
society points out, and it is from that
time on that the lacy. heart-embossed
creations date. Many of Miss How
lands valentines were simply in
scribed: ITO one l love-"
Comic valentines appear to have en-
joyed perpetual vogue throughout
the years, the society showing many
which 1t describes as ridiculous, wit
ty and severe"
One of the valentines of the World
war period has picture by John T..
McCutcheon, cartoonist, with verse by
George AIDE. The picture shows a
mother who has apparently censored
her daughters mail to a soldier
abroad. Beneath is printed:

Foreign Department Shows Less
 Activity Due to Brazil

New York, Oct. (P)-The bond market, which has suffered a severe setback this week through extensive liquidation of foreign and industrial issues, was slightly steadier today.
 There was less activity in the for eign department where the daily losses of Latin American issues dur ing the first part of the week have read like the movement of shares. Brazilian bonds remained under pressure, and losses were registered in points to carry some government, state and municipal issues to new lows for the year but declines an bonds of neighboring countries were moderate on a small turnover.
 The domestic section was steady. First grade railroad and utility bonds of legal rank or slightly un- der showed little change either way.' Second grade rails continued down. ward.

 ON CURB TODAY Interest in Buying at Low Ebb
 Throughout Session

New York, Oct. 9~LP) - Prices slipped off in flurries of selling on the curb market today. Pressure was not particularly severe. except in a few stocks, but interest in the buy- ing side was at low ebb and of ferings found a generally lower scale.
 New lows for the year were nu- merous. Associated Gas & Electric, "A" United Gas and American Gas A Electric in the untility group and Humble Oil in the petroleum section of the list were among the shares finding new bottoms. Electric Bond & Share, which has suffered from the Brazilian situation by virtue of it's interest in American 6 Foreign Power, was steadier, but met con- siderable selling at times.
 One of the weak industrials was Aluminium of America, which broke below 1S0 to new minimum for a loss of several points. The Ford stocks, consistently sold on Wednes- cay firmed, Columbia Pictures vot- ing trust certificates sagged a couple of points.
 With the exception Of Humble, the oils gave little evidence of liqui- dation and changes ruled small. h. vestment Trust shares again weak ened, Goldman Sachs trading reach ing a new low.

Fresh Liquidation Flood Result Of Most Serious Financial Crash
 For Exchange In Recent Years
Efforts to Maintain Recent Resistance Points Aban- dOned Before Prince and Whitely Suspension.

New York, Oct. 9 LP,-The most serious financial casualty among members of the New York stock ex- change in recent years loosened a fresh flood of liquidation in today's stock market.
 Although supporting orders ap- peared in some volume during the early hours of the session. efforts to maintain recent resistance points were soon abandoned, foreshadow- ing the announcement of the sus- pension of Prince & Whitely, which was made from the rostrum of the exchange shortly after noon.
 Selling was taken in an orderly manner, however, and practically nothing approaching demoralization developed in the trading. The new faster ticker system, nevertheless, was unable to maintain the pace, and fell few minutes behind.
 U. s. Steel was crushed down to the lowest price in two years at 147 1-2, off more than 3 points, after substantial buying orders failed to hold it at 150, the low of last November. Only 25,000 shares were taken at the 150 level, indi- eating that it's sponsors were making TO such determined effort to sup port it as they did last autumn, when an order for 15O,OOO shares was said to have been placed. This was interpreted in Wall Street as indicating that important banking interests felt that the market was on much more stable basis, and that no emergency measures were tecessary.
 Losses of 3 points to more than 10 were numerous. The stocks with which Prince and Whitely were identified, such as National Dairy and kelvinator, were well taken in the main, declining only about 2 points. Young Spring and Wire, however, tumbled 12 points. Such stocks as General Electric, Bethle- hem Steel, and American Can sold o1 5 points or so. Shares losing 5 to nearly 10 included Westinghouse 'N, ooIiiIo tle1llFlA Water Works, Canadian Pacific, Gill; lette, Columbian Carbon, and Allied Chemical. The market showed mild rallying tendencies soon after one o'clock, and the flow of selling orders slacl1aned.
 While the actual losses in connec- tlon with the Prince and Whitely failure may be negligible, the fact that firm which had been a men- Der of the stock exchange for half century could not meet it's engage Hnents was naturally highly unset ting. The firms attorneys, however, announced that a reorganization was in progress, and that creditors may be paid in full.
 The days business news was mea- gre, and not of character to in t1Genee the market, although there was probably some further disap- pointed selling caused by yesterdays uncheerful steel trade reviews. Money was a little tighter, with the longer maturities of time loans a fraction highery Call loans held at per cent. Bankers stated that tightening at this period may be re- garded as favorable, indicating in creasing commercial activity and use of funds.

 Yacht Rules Abandoned

Yachting rules do not apply when fishermen race. There is no limita- tion as to crews. sail area or any other dimension.
 Interest in the international con- test has been increase9 by the offer by New York business man, whose name has not been revealed, of valuable piece of plate as a prize for 100-mile ocean race or a race from Gloucester to Halifax between the two schooners. As three races are already scheduled off that port be- tween Thebaud and Bluenose after the Gloucester series, it appeared probable the voyage down east" would be made as another sailing contest.
 Captain Samuel Shaw of Halifax was the Canadian representative aboard Thebaud today and H. G. Wiser of Pine Orchard, Conn.,, rep resented America aboard Bluenose.
