The railroad company put on two
witnesses. Mr. La Bertew and Mr..
O'Hara. Their testimony was to the
effect that to stop Nos. | and 2 at
Libby would disrupt their schedule,
that other communities would ask
similar favors if it ais granted Libby
and that these trains would thereby
lose their limited character. They in
troduced figures TO show that passen-
ger business into and from Libby IS
small according to their contention and
that present service is adequate te

Feeding Program

A good winter feeding program that
the average farm poultry raiser Will
find helpful Is as follows: Small
grains, as wheat. outs and barley given
in early morning green feed or sprout-
ed oats, 8 to 10 a. M. or another ilghl
feed OF small grain; light feed OF
hot mash at noon and heavy feed OF
shelled corn In the late afternoon.
Do not overfeed on small grain be-
cause the birds should consume a good
amount OF mash from the hopper
throughout the day.

COTTON ACTIVE,
CABLES HIGHER

NEW YORK. July IA G.N.S0 .
The New York cotton market was
only moderately active and slight
ly higher on higher than expected
Liverpool cables during the fore
noon trading today.
Scattered price-fixing came from
spinners, and combined with short
covering, supported the market.
At midday, October sold at 9.31,
up 4, December at 9.53. up 3,
January at 9.64, up 5, March at
9.83, up 4, and May at 9.99, up
3.
The cotton consumption report,
issued by the Concensus Bureau
this morning stated that 455,388
running bales of lint cotton were
consumed in United States mills
during June. This compares with
465,770 in May and 405,236 in
June, 1880.
The total consumption for the
eleven months ended June 80,
amounted to 4,82O,430 bales. This
compares with 5,726,818 consumed
in the like period of the 1929-3O
season.
The weather continued in the
main favorable, although Texas,
Oklahoma and other parts of the
belt could probably stand more
rain. Georgia had good rains
over the past weekend, and Ala
bama did very well.

KANSAS To BAN
OIL OUTPUT

TOPEKA, Kan. July IA 0.N.SO .
Complete shutdown of every Kan
sas oil well, enforced by the
State. and a proposed boycott of
all oil products except those Of
Kansas companies, loomed today
as the latest developments in the
fight to increase the price Of
crude oil, recently slashed to 18
cents by major purchasers.
The shutdown will be discussed
here today with the oil advisory
committee meeting with Gov.
Harry Woodring and the public
service commission.
Thurman Hill, public service
commissioner, said that in his
opinion, selling Kansas crude at
18 cents when it costs 40 cents
a barrel to produce, constituted a
waste under the State conserva-
ton of resources statutes, and
that he believed producers, in
cluding major companies, could
be compelled to shut in their
wells until crude prices ale
raised.
Some 400 independent pro-
ducers already have agreed upon
a shutdown of approximately
10000 barrels daily production,
effective tomorrow.

BELL EARNINGS
TAKE JUMP

The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company earned $780,
1Oo,8 net in the first six months
this year, as compared with $751;
796,812 in the corresponding pc
riod of 1880, its report today
shows. Per share earnings were
$4.89, as compared with $5.72 last
year for the period.
During the first six months OF
this year there was a net loss in
the Bell System of about 100000
telephones or two-thirds Of l per
cent of those in service.
The number of long distance
calls handled was about per
cent less than for the same pc
riod in 1880, and total telephone
revenues were about per cent be-
low last years level.
The company now has approx
mately 100000 stockholders, an
increase of $4,000 since the first
of the year.

RAILWAY PROBE.
IS ORDERED

In connection with its hearings
on the petition of the railroads
for a blanket increase of IS per
cent in freight rates. the Inter

terday ordered a general inquiry
of certain practices of the rail-
roads to ascertain whether they
are lawful and consistent with
economical and efficient manage
ment.
Commissioners Eastman, Nc.
Manany and Lee were designated
to conduct the inquiry.
The subjects announced as first
to be investigated are prices paid
for railroad fuel and practices in
connection with the handling Of
coal at tidewater points, lake
cargo coal, private freight cars.
the Spotting of cars at industries
and the construction and main
tenance of Sidings for shippers.
They will be set down for hear
ing. as separate parts Of the in.
vestigation, at times and places
to be announced later.
Other subjects in the inquiry
will be announced from time to
time, the commission said.

{ j R B SESSION
VERY DULL

NEW YORK. July IA G.NS0.
Speculative interests continued
to occupy the side lines through
out the course of today's eX-
tremely dull curb session, with
the result that stocks once more
drifted lazily into generally lower
price channels.
Cities Service was offered little
relief from the persistent selling
which has been evidenced for
some time. At it's midday low Of
1917, it was at a new low on the
downward movement, and within
a fraction of it's bear market low
of 924.
Oils were firm, with buying in
this group attributed to the cur
tailment efforts now meeting with
success, due to the low price
structure.
Gulf moved up ~ points to So

gain of a point at 431a.

tobacco from last year, the
farmers appear to be making
little reduction in acreage. Lower
tobacco prices are therefore ex-
pected.
No informed person expects
anything but low cotton prices,
and a big drop in the amount Of
fertilizer used (to say nothing Of
the threatening boil weeviD prom
ises a low yield per acre. So the
farmers will be doing very well
if they get anywhere near out Of
debt this year.
That is what they are hoping
for. They are spending as little
money on their crops as pos
sible. They are raising more
feed and food.
Aid to DiverSificatiOn
I think that this depression will
do more to diversity Southern
agriculture than ali the lectures
and pamphlets OF the last 10
years.
In this section they are raising
more rye for grazing. When they
quit destroying grass to raise
cotton to buy hay, they will be
much better off.
I conclude that this section is
at. or very near, bottom, and re-
covery is going to be decidedly
slow.
