CHICAGO, Dec. 10. - Relative
steadiness at Liverpool worked
against the lower stock market to-
day but wheat was fractionally
lower as the Board of Trade opened.
There was scattered selling and
little support at the start.
Unsettled weather in the Argen-
tine and claims that Russia had
oversold its wheat gave Liverpool
some steadiness. Corn was easy
with wheat. December oats acted
tight but the other deliveries were
uneven.
Opening Is Lower
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to IS cent lower, corn was
Il to Is cent lower and oats i cent
lower to 4 cent higher. Provisions
were easy and slow.
Liverpool declined a pence to IL
pence by mid-afternoon. but was
not as low as expected, allowing for
sterling difference, showing y cent
to Is cent off. The resistance shown
by wheat in view of the steady de-
cline in stocks indicates that the
former is we'll liquidated and ready
to respond to constructive news.
Mills have been good buyers on dips
recently.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, March 31.-Can-
ada's answer to the Smoot- Hawley tariff
will be found in the budget which Pre-
mier r. B. Bennett, as minister Of
finance, will present to Parliament
about the second week in May.
The Bennett budget is almost certain
to have increases in the tariff against
the United States on almost every line
of goods. Duties will be increased par
ticularly on iron and steel products
Presentation of the budget will be the
first opportunity that Conservative
government has had to reply to the
Smoot-Hawley tariff, which greatly re-
duced Canadian business in the United
States market.
Will Not Affect Consumer.
One of the unique features of the
coming tariff increases will be that they
will not affect the consumer. The Ca

pledges from manufacturers here that
If the duties are boosted there will be
no increase In prices.
Mr.. Bennett was elected to Office on

pounds Of nitrate of soda or sulphate
of ammonia to the acre.
Lime is not ordinarily considered a
fertilizer, but a corrective material for
sick and SOU soils. A word OF eau
ton is necessary, for sick soils are not
always sick for want Of lime, and 1t
is often easy to overdo the use Of
lime.
Care With Use OF Lime
Remember that too much lime in
the soil will check the growth of most
vegetables. So II you use aoy lime
apply it sparingly at first, two to
three pounds to 100 square feet, be-
cause a. little lime often has q very
decided effect in changing the acid
ity or alkalinity Of the soil. .
Truck growers of the South Allan
tic coast region follow the practice Of
applying a ton of q medium grade
fertilizer to the acre for potatoes,
beans, beets and similar crops. They
sometimes supplement this with side
dressings Of $50 to 200 pounds Of nj.
trate Of soda, or sulphate Of ammonia
to the acre during the growing sea-
son just to push the crop along.
If you apply eight or 10 loads Of
manure to your half-acre garden, 400
to 500 pounds Of fertilizer may be ap-
piled In addition, and as a rule the best
way Is to SOW 1t broadcast while tho
land is being fitted for planting.
Five pounds of a high-grade com.
mercial fertilizer to 100 square feet Of
space is about right for the small gar

RESERVES OF
EXPECTED TO
Be LESS This YEAR
Farmers and Elevators Selling
Bulk Of Supplies to Grain
=
Cooperation

Farm reserves and elevator stocks
of wheat in the spring wheat area,
comprising the Dakotas, Minnesota
and Montana. will be less this summer
than for many years, according to the
weekly review issued Wednesday by
the Farmers Union Terminal associa-
ton. An extremely small northwest
carryover "a forecast.
"Due to the fact that wheat prices
IN the United States r being MAIN
tanned at 10 to 20 cents above the
Winnipeg or foreign prices" the re-
view says. farmers and grain ele-
vators are selling the bulk of their
supplies to the Farmers National
Grain corporation. It does not ap-
pear likely that any wheat owner will
miss the opportunity to sell and de-
liver his grain before price stabil-
ization ends.
"A survey by the Farmers National
Grain corporation recently made in
dicates that the farm and country
elevator reserves are extremely light.
Even the elevator stocks must be dis
counted to a great degree, as much Of
the grain now stored in country ele-
vators has been sold to the national
marketing agency, and while it is in
the physical possession of the local
grain elevators, it is not actually
owned by them.
"A proper survey showing grain
stocks locally owned at country points,
therefore, undoubtedly would show a
much smaller total than the present
figures indicate. as the Farmers Ma
tional Is encouraging country eleva-
tors to hold their grain stocks at local
points until the wheat actually is
ordered out to terminals. This effort
is being made to relieve congestion at
terminals.
Navigation on the Great Lakes is
being opened this year at the earliest
date since 1914 and this should help
relieve the storage space situation.
1.-The Farmers National Grain cor
poration desires that farmers be kept
informed that wheat sales at stabil-
lied prices until June 80 r assured
and that to obtain these prices they
must contract to sell their wheat be-
fore that date"
