NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Influencec
by drop in wheat, which lost 81
to 47s cents a bushel at Chicago
the stock market today dropped l to
10 points and recovered only a
minor portion Of the gain before the
close.
The railroad average Cprelimi-
nary calculation made a new low
for the bear market at 45.09, off 2.41
points from the previous close. This
was a new low since the Dow-Jones
compilation began in 1897.
The industrial average was at
9794, off 3.31, but still up 1146 from
the bar market low. The utility
average was at 1903, off IL from
the previous close and up 3.15 from
the bear market low.
Sales totaled 100000 shares,
against 100000 Thursday. In the
last fifty minutes volume was 100000
shares, against 100000 Thursday.
The decline occurred in mid
afternoon, and when Steel common
was smashed below its bear market
low Of 62H, made on Oct. last,
the whole list followed in burst of
activity that made tickers run sew
eral minutes behind the market.
Industrials Follow Steel
Steel dropped TO 605s, new low
since 1915 when it sold at 80. On
the basis of the issue considering
the 40 per cent stock dividend paid
in 1927, the price was equivalent to
64A, which would be a new low
since 1921 when it touched 7OH
Its high record was made in 1929 at
261M.
A long list of industrial leaders
followed Steel down and the greater
number of rails made new lows for
many years.
Auburn auto at one time was off
IL points, and losses of 2 to 5 points
were noted in such issues as East
man Kodak, American Telephone,
j. I. Case, Consolidated Gas, Sears
Roebuck, Coca Cola, American Can
and Union Carbide.
New York Central made a record
low at 1864 off 39s and new lows for
many years were made by Pennsyl-
vania at 273s, OF rs, and Union
Pacific 90A, off 513. Other rails
broke ! to 5 points.
Utilities Driven Down
Utilities were driven down l to 3
points, with American Telephone a
sellers target. Coppers held well
through the selling in other Sec
tions, being influenced by reports
the producers had not yet given
up the prospect of an amicable adj
juStment of differences regarding
curtailment of production.
In sharp contrast to the stock
market was the silver futures mar
ket, where great activity recently
prevailed. Today silver futures slid
off small amounts and business was
almost at standstill. Copper
metal was attracting more atten-
ton at rising prices.
Late in the day, word came from
Paris that China and Japan had
accepted an armistice in principle
on the Manchurian dispute. That
brought buying into Japanese bonds
and these issues moved against the
general trend Of the bond market.
Most of the gains we're retained.
The armistice statement had only
moderate effect on the stock mar
ket, according to close observers.
They attributed the slight recovery
from the earlier lows to normal
short covering.

PASTURE ROTATION
IS URGED BY EXPERT
Successive Crops Should Be
Sown Successfully Four to
Five Weeks Apart

Sowing large acreages of pasture
crops on clean ground at successive
dates four to five weeks apart makes
possible rotation of pastures and
avoids overgrazing, according to H.
e. Walster, chief agronomist Of the
North Dakota agricultural expert
ment station. This practice also
makes possible longer pasture sea-
son, he says.
Oats is the best crop because of its
high yielding ability and palatability.
Mid-seaSon or late oats sown at
rate of two and one-han bushels per
acre as early as the land can be
fitted is recommended. Six pecks OF
winter rye per acre should be sown
at the same time on separate area.
With cool season the rye may be
ready for pasture first, while II the
season is very warm the oats probably
will be ready for pasturing first.
Which ever crop Is ready first should
be pastured when four and five inches
high. After grazing the first crop for
few weeks the livestock may be
turned onto the other. About four to
five weeks after the first seeding Of
oats has been made, a second seeding
should be put In.
For late summer pasture in east
ern North Dakota seed common white
sweet clover on clean land without q
nurse crop, using IL to Is pounds per
acre: begin pasturing this crop about
Aug. Is or little later" DR.. Walster
suggests. This pastured sweet clover
Is not likely to stand the succeeding
winter, however.

BROCCOLI, LATEST IMMIGRANT FROM ITALY,
LIKE A HARDY GREEN CAULIFLOWER
BY WILLIAM r. BEATTIE
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
Written Especially for NEA Service

Written Especially for NEA Service
and The Tribune
About three or four years ago, when
Italian or sprouting broccoli was an
nounced as new vegetable in this
country, it made little difference to
us that this newcomer had been
grown and used in Italy for perhaps
hundreds or even thousands of years
The plant has been welcomed as a
valuable addition to our list of gar
den vegetables.
Sprouting broccoli is a form OF
loose heading, green cauliflower that
is much harder and easier to grow
than regula- cauliflower.
Two crops, a spring crop and a fall
crop, can be grown in most sections,
the time of planting being about the
same as early and late cabbage. It is
a cool weather crop. and requires 13O
to $50 days from the time of sowing
the seed until the first of the heads
are ready to use.
When to Plant
For the early spring crop the seeds
should be Sown indoors or in the hot
bed and the plants set in the garden
just a little later than early cabbage
For a late crop SOW the seeds about
the time you plant the seeds of late
cabbage and plant in the garden at
the same time as late cabbage or per-
haps week later.
Good, tender sprouting broccoli can
not be grown on poor soil and, like its
close relative the cauliflower, it must
have plenty of fertility and consider
able moisture in the soil. If the half
acre home garden has had about 10
good loads of manure plowed under
and topdressing of three or four
hundred pounds of fertilizer, the soil
should be about right for growing
good broccoli.
Needs Plenty of Water
If the season is dry it will be desir-
able to give the plants q good water
ing about once a week. In the irri-
gated sections the sprouting broccoli
should be irrigated the same as cab
bage or cauliflower.
Broccoli grows rather large, so the
rows should be about three feet apart
and the plants two or two and one
half feet apart In the rows.
Like other. new vegetables most
folks have to learn how to use sprout-
ing broccoli. First the plant forms a
central head and after this is re-
moved several smaller or side heads
form. The heads should be cut when
in bud and before any of the buds
open or show blossom color.
Cut off about three or four inches
of the tender stems with the head,

Wool Situation Is

Larimore, N. D., April 9.-P(-De-
spite a movement approximately ~
per cent below normal, the wool mar

wool growers was told here Wednes-
DAY.
The statement was made by Matt
Staff, director Of public relations Tor
Draper and company, Boston, mar
keting agency for the federal farm

"A Series Explaining the Contract Bridge System
BY VIM. f. MCKINNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

The following hand was also Sc
lected from the Southeastern Section
al Championship tournament recent
ly held at Augusta. Ca, and gives a
good example Of clever psychic bid
at contract.
The Bidding
The opening bid by South varied
at practically every table. Some
forced with two diamonds. Those
using the artificial club bid one
club, while the writer, who advocates
the one over one, prefers bid Of one
diamond on this hand. It is not
strong enough to make a forcing two
bid. If partner has complete bust
he will pass and II partners hand
las two queens or better In 1t, he will
at least give you a one no trump re-
sponse and you would not have to be
afraid of the bidding dying. Even
though the hand holds $50 aces, an
opening bid Of two no trump should
not be considered.
Going back to the one diamond
bid. West passed. North responded
with two hearts. Remember this
is one over one-one heart over one
diamond-a forcing bid from North
informing partner that he has a
playable heart suit and at least one
and one-half tricks and requests
that the bidding be kept open once
more although no promise is made
for game. East passed.
Now what would you do with
South's hand? Knowing that part
ner holds one and one-half tricks,
we know that one trick must be the
king and queen Of hearts and the
half trick can be the king of spades,
king of diamonds or the club king.
SuppoSing 1t is the king OF clubs, we
can find a home for our losing cards
the deuce of spades will 60 on the
queen of hearts and the five Of spades
on the king of clubs, and we will as
sumo that we must lose the king of
diamonds.
This would be o. X. unless West
happens to open spade-then our
chances of going game are badly
ruined especially If West should hold
the king Of diamonds. Therefore the
psychic bidder realizing that the only
opening that can stop him from MAX
ing a small slam Is spade opening,
deliberately bids two spades. which
is a forcing bid. He need not fear
that the bidding viii close as he has
