HORT SCHOOL
By DR.. e. l.. Overholser, Head
Horticulture Department, Wash
ingt0n State College, Pullman. q:

1. True. Seeding with drill is the
most satisfactory method. Seeding
should be to a depth of one inch and
one-half of the seed should be cross
seeded in each direction. If broadcast
ing is necessary, the soil should be
"spring-toothed" Immediately before
seeding and the seed covered with a
brush drag or spike-tooth harrow.
2. False. The truth is that if, after
the seeds of newly planted alfalfa
cover crop are terminated and start
to grow, the seeding is irrigated ac-
-cording to the needs of the trees, the
newly established cover crop is al
most to be a failure. The newly
planted cover crop should be irrigat-
ed at frequent intervals. The sur
face of the soil should not be per-
mitted to dry to a depth of over one
inch until the young plants emerge.
After emergence the soil should not
be permitted to dry below one-fourth
the depth of the roots of the young
plants.
8. False. The truth is, often there
is to much delay in the preparation of
the irrigation burrows: After the
seed is sowed, the burrows should be
Immediately prepared. Furthermore,
the burrows, even for the best needs
of the trees often are too far apart,
and too few in number between the
tree rows. For the cover crop, the
burrows should not be over 18 to "a
inches apart. After the cover crop
is well established, alternate burrows
may be dropped, if this appears de-
sirable.
True-F False Statements
I. { } The quality of the most
Wits iLabrusca (native species or
crosses, such as Concord) varieties of
grapes seems to be better when the
fruit .ripened in cool summers, while
Wits vinifera European grape) var
ieties develop well in hot summers.
2. The currant seems to be
very resistant to high summer tenn
peratures, and it's wood is relatively
resistant to low winter temperatures.
8. { } Apples grown in colder eli
mates, or in more northerly ATTITUDES
are unusually more elongated in form
than are apples grown in warmer or

COTTON STEADY
AFTER SLUMP

NEW YORK, April 9 U.N.S).
A steadier tone developed in the
cotton market today after an
opening slump following an an
nouncement that House and Sen
ate conferees would meet at 2:30
p. m. today to adjust differences
on the Bankhead cotton control
bill.
Initial losses ran from 4 to z
points, on an over.the-week-end &C.
emulation Of foreign and South
ern selling orders. AS the morn
ing progressed, however, there was
a noticeable pickup in demand,
particularly from commission
houses and the trade, and the
opening losses were halved. Liqui-
dation of May by outside interests
increased.
Sentiment was buoyed no little
by the New York Cotton Exchange
service report showing world cot
ton spinners consumed approx
mately 2,0S4, 900 bales of all kinds
Of cotton in February, the highest
total for that month since the
2,118,000 bales consumed in Feb
ruary, the highest total for that
month since the 2,11S,000 bales
consumed in February, 1880.
The months total was 130, 900
bales under January, or slightly
more than seasonal. On q per.
centage basis the decline was 6.2
per cent, compared with an aver
age decline from January to
February in the past six years Of
40 per cent.
Around the noon hour futures
were off l to 4 points. May was
off 3 at 1902. July off 3 at 1911,
october off at 1924, December
off l at 1885, and January off 2
at 1912.

BIG. CHAIN SALE
GAIN IN YEAR
REPORTED

Seventeen chain store COM
panies, including two mail order
companies, show total sales for
March Of $138,S63, ,141, compared
with $102, 400 1927 in March 1888,
an increase Of 35.47 per cent &C.
cording to Merrill, Lynch q Co.
The two mail order concerns alone
show total sales Of $40,674, $50,
against $25, Ats, ,005, an increase Of
1894 per cent. Excluding the two
mail order companies IS chain
store companies show total sales
Of $98,188,311 against ST, ,020, ,922,
an increase of 27.48 per cent.
The compilation shows that the
II chain store companies, includ-
ing the two mail order companies,
showed total sales for the three
months of 1884 Of 1910, ,482, 1895
against $297 ,942,792 in the CORE
spending period Of 1888, increase
Of 24.34 per cent. The two mail
order concerns show total sales
Of $111,612,940, compared with
81, ,199,509, an increase Of 44.57
per cent. The IS chains alone
show sales Of $258, $40, ,955, against
1920, ,743, 1888, an increase Of 1927
per cent.
The extraordinarily large in.
crease in gross sales is due to some
extent to the fact that a year ago
business of the whole country was
practically at a stand-Still caused
by the bank holiday. Increases in
prices of certain merchandise as
well as the sale Of beer and alco-
holic liquors in some Of the stores
has contributed somewhat to the
increase.
Apart from that the general
increase for the three months
period of 24.34 per cent in Is
chains and two mail order con-
Germs is accounted direct evidence
that there is a definite improve.
ment in business caused by the
operation Of the National Re
covery Act by increased spending,
owing to the use Of money from
various government agencies as
well as returning confidence in
the future on the part Of the gen.
eral public.

ditfon Of which many had been aware
but to which little attention has been
paid.
This is simply that the large quanA
titles Of goods bought in the january
February market had been very sub
stantially liquidated, and that buyers

NEW DEMAND

The demand for long term
United States Government securi-
ties during the past few weeks
has been on such a large scale
as to lift control Of the market
entirely out Of the hands of the
Federal Reserve banks, whose
operations have been the back
bone Of the Government bond
market throughout the tail end
Of the depression, c. j. Devine,
head Of c. j. Devine and Com
pany, Inc, specialists in Govern.
ment securities, states in COM
menting upon the recent improve
ment in this branch Of the securi-
ties market. He says:
Gas a result Of the develop
ments which have taken pace
in the Government bond mar.
ket, since March S, last, q
normal investment market
again prevails for governments
for the first time in several
years.
up to q few months ago,
few banks, insurance companies
or large individual buyers Of
governments would make com.
mitments for anything but
short term governments.
within the recent past, how.
ever, due to the change which
has taken place, large individu-
al buyers, banks and insurance
companies have been heavy pur-
chasers Of long.term issues. The
buying Of lOng.term govern.
ments by insurance companies
alone since January /, has been
in excess of their entire pur-
chases Of this group during the
past two years.
"NumerouS factors have been
responsible for this change.
Most important probably is the
heavy accumulation Of excess
cash reserves In bank vaults,
coupled with the improved
sentiment in business and in
dustry which has brought about
o change for the better in the
outlook for lOng.term invest
ments."

BY the Wall Street Spectator

week with the feeling that there
are some important developments
ahead.
For one thing, President Roose-
velt is due back from his fishing
trip, and things down in Wash
ington may be stirred up. Then
again. the revised stock bill will
be out in few days.

on silver in the Senate, market
followers are hopeful Of some
new stimulus.
The rurnor that the gold price
will be advanced is making the
rounds again. The gossip is that
1t will take place this week, and
that the new price will be up 81
at $50 an ounce. There are many,
however, who are skeptical.
National DistillerS, it is said,
may be the first liquor COM
pany to pay a dividend. A 50 an
nual basis at the next meeting is
whispered by those who follow the
company'S affairs - Schenley is
likely to follow if this occurs.
We hear the big shot in Ana
conda bought himself 10000 shares
Of his own stock in recent weeks.
It took most Of last years salary
to do this.
Allied Chemical holders are still
casting longing eyes at the big
block Of its own stock in the COM
pany's Treasury. Only deal for
some other company will prevent
the inevitable distribution of these
shares to stockholders.
The optimism over the seize OF
the ore movement this year is be-
coming apparent in the greater
activity in the ore carriers like
Northern Pacific and Great North
