crops grown here which cannot be
rotated, such as our asparagus,
tree fruit acreages. Here the prob
lens Of soil maintenance must de-
pend upon q program Of addition
Of manures or cover crops with
commercial fertilizers. Undoubt-
eddy much more can be done with
the cover crop than has been in the
past.
Crop rotation has worked out in
the older acres is not as easy .
matter as one might at first think.
When once worked out it has .
tendency to add stability to the
farm program. The farm on which
the owner makes his program from
year to year based upon the inn
mediate future usually does not
lend itself at all to good crop ro-
tation system. However, the farm
having ) good crop rotation sys-
tenn may vary > planting Of any
particular crop one way or tn 9
other and the addition Of new crops
If they belong to the same class
of plants, as the rotation as plan
ned should be used on that partic-
ular field for that season.
For farmers Of our county II
would seem that the more import
ant thing to consider and start
with in the crop rotation is as
least . definite planning to see that
every acre Of the farm has some
leguminous crop on it, at least
once in five years. With the new
short season cover crops this time
probably could be shortened. Even
where the farm is so handled that
there is quite . little manure
available it would seem advisable
to make definite plans for the
maintaining Of leguminous crops
in q rotation. These not only add
nitrogen to the soil, but also add
. little organic material which i
so essential to the bacterial life Of
the soil and this in turn to its fer
tility even for the mineral inter
ests. Deep rooted leguminous crops
have q tendency to bring these
mineral elements up from greater
depths where the other plants can
make greater use Of them and the
deep roots also have their influ-
enee on the breaking up Of these
mineral elements in the greater
depths.
There unquestioningly is more
or less unconscious movement ON
the part Of the farmer to develop
q program Of self sufficiency on
the farm that is = program where
by he will need to buy - little
as possible and in this way have
less to sell but materially cutting
the cost Of the production which he
does sell. Would not . definite
program Of crop rotation started
at this time help materially In A.
surfing the farmer Of better crops
although produced in somewhat
limited quantities.

Daily Report OF
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, May 49, U.H :
Flurries of selling continued to
break out in many sections of the
stock market today, threatening for
time to send the entire list into
new bear market low ground.
Aside from the railroad stocks
and a dozen or more individual is
sues, however selling did not make
much headway other than to force
losses of a fraction to several points
in various industrial and public
utility leaders.
Railroad shares as group were
heavy throughout the session, most
of them breaking to record lows OF
relatively small declines.
The weakness in the railroad is
sues continued the principal influ-
ence on the market. Their action
of recent sessions discouraged some
holders and forced others to part
with their investments when mar
gins were cleaned up.
The decline in the rails was ac-
companied by the usual batch of
rumors. Traders unloaded rail-
road stocks because of the uncer
tain future.
Late in the session New York
Central touched IL for loss of n
point and larger losses were forced
in Atchison, Union Pacific, Mis-
souri, Pacific preferred and others.
The first evidence of important
Chicago selling came in a three
point break in Colgate Palmolive
Peet, followed by a weakening of
other issues associated with the
middle west. Peoples Gas slumped
half dozen points to 60% Western
Union lost more than three to
new record low below 10, and Stan
dard Gas was unloaded in large
blocks around the 13 level, loss
of several points. National Dairy
Products also was weak.

INSURANCE CASE
Set OVER UNTIL
NEXT NOVEMBER

On motion of defense attorneys,
Judge A. C. Finney this morning
set over until November IA the sec
ond trial of Lewis Hart and five
other Los Angeles business men on
charges of grand theft in relation
to assertedly fraudulent stock sales
in Imperial Valley during the sum-
mer of 1890.
The case originally had been set
for hearing ON the June criminal
calendar, but at the request of
members of the county board of
supervisors, District Attorney Ell
mer w. Heald did not oppose the
motion for continuance.
The supervisors wished the case
set over in order that trial expenses
might come under a new budget
since the present budget could not
bear the expense of the month
long trial.
Another reason for the continu-
ance was the desire that Judge
Arthur L. Mundo of San Diego
again may preside over the trial,
since he is thoroughly acquainted
with various features Of the case.
Should the matter be brought to
trial now, Judge Mundo would be
severely hampered in campaign
for reelection to the San Diego
county superior court bench.
Ernest r. Utley and Clarence B.
Smith as defense attorneys appeared
in court this morning to present
the motion on behalf of their cli-
entS, who now are at liberty on
bond.
Eight Defendants
Because of dismissals and rulings
during the last trial, only eight
defendants are now named in the
grand jury indictment, names of
five others having been removed.
OF the eight there are two who have
not been apprehended but the dis
trict attorney this morning ex-
pressed the hope they may be cap
tured and brought to trial with
the other defendants November IA.
They arc F. c. Bower and j. d.
Mahan.
Defendants who arc at liberty on
bond are Lewis Hart, Simon New
man, l.. r. Rogasner Arthur Gold
berg, Percy C. Pickerell and Ber-
nard Phillips.
The second trial of the defen-
dants, made necessary when a jury
could not agree on their guilt or
innocence probably will not require
as muc htime as did the first, since
many technicalities have been
ironed out, and many arguments
between attorneys may be done
away with in the light of rulings
at the first trial.
