STOCKS TEND UP,.,
BUT VOLUME LAGS
Late Tone Steady to Firm,
With Buying Limited to
SeIective Basis.
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The stock
market worked quietly higher today in
dull trading that was somewhat Sc
lective in character.
Early gains of minor fractions to a
point were maintained by American
Telephone, General Motors, United
States Steel, Chrysler, Allied Chemical
and j. 1. Case. The late tone was
steady to firm. Sales approximated
100000 shares.
Although the foreign situation re-
mained somewhat confusing. the
market derived considerable satisfac-
tlon from the action of the British
pound sterling which ran up briskly
IN foreign exchange markets when
gold bloc currencies felt the full ef-
feet of the Belgian governments
downfall on the gold standard uues-
ton. The opinion of well-informed
quarters that the American stabiliza-
ton fund was at work to smooth the
kinks between the dollar and sterling
also was stabilizing factor.
F1rmer spots in stocks were the
shares Of sugar companies which have
been under quiet accumulation for
some time coincident with marked
improvement in that industry. Amer
ican Crystal Sugar preferred gained
1 points and improvement of around
l was shown by Cuban American pre-
terred, South Porto Rico and Great
Western.
In other sections of the list, gain
ers OF around l point included Proc
tor g. Gamble, United States Smelt.
ing, Noranda Mines, Santa Fe
Union Pacific and Continental Can
United States Steel, American Tele.
phone, Western Union and j. I. Case
were among others advancing frac.
tionally.
The most disappointing feature OF
the market for those working fol
higher prices was seen in the small
volume brought out by the moderate
upturn, but this same condition was a
source of consolation yesterday when
40 great volume was brought out when
prices were in a downward spiral.

"R|GG|NG" BLAMED
FOR COTTON BREAK
A. A. A. Method of Manipu-
Iating Market Is Unsound,
Editor Declares.
snecial pispatch to The Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 19.-The March
break in cotton was inevitable in a
market rigged as is the present one,
declares Douglas C. Woolf, editor OF
Textile World. in an editorial which
is to appear in the March issue. Mr..
Wooh terms the A. A. A. method of
manipulating the market as ''funda-
mentally unsound" and advises that
"a careful retreat should be the
A. A. AS marching ORDERS
quite aside from all the discus
sion of the technical reasons for the
break in cotton" he declares, lone
sobering fast projects itself: This sort
of thing is inevitable in a market
rigged as is the present one. We
pretend to no expert knowledge of the
technique of that market, but plain
common sense tells us that a price
structure which has been created
artifically and which is then sup
ported by loans against itself, is not
the kind of game we'd put our
money on.
"The surprise, then, is not that the
break came but that it was so long
coming. Most Shrewd observers whom
we know have had their fingers
crossed expecting just this sort of
thing. Irrespective of what an in
veStigation proves to have been the
cause of the March break, and ire
spective of how sharp and how ap-
parently permanent the recovery from
it may be, the possibility of a recur-
rence-and on grander scale-wilI
be always lurking around the corner.
THE obvious answer is that the
Government has got to realize this
fact. There is one attitude of the
Department of Agriculture which
worries us tremendously. It is the
complete resistance of its officials to
the least intimation that anything
they may be doing could possibly be
wrong. This attitude tends to nullify
the very obvious sincerity of purpose
prompting that department. Some
how or other, this inf1exibility has got
to be changed.
NO sensible persoE-regardless of
his opinion of A. A. A. economics
would expect the Government to step
out OF the cotton picture abruptly. It
just can't be done But any sensible
person will expect the Government to
make plans for gradually easing out
OF an untenable position-and to take
agriculture and industry into its
confidence as those plans develop.
Otherwise, the March break will
prove to have been just the first
skirmish in a bitter battle with eco
nomic laws, the ultimate outcome of
which will be defeat for every one
concerned except the laws them
selves"

IMPORTANCE OF
ALFALFA In FARMING
By f, Kraus

During the protracted drought
which most sections of the country
suffered from last summer, the crop
which stood these weather condi-
tiOhs best was alfalfa. In passing
through the country, alfalfa fields
appeared as oases in the desert,
dashes of green in a brown, wither-
ed panorama. The ability of alfalfa
to withstand lack of moisture is Sc
cured through the roots which will
reach down a considerable distance
for moisture.
In addition to its ability to grow
under arid conditions. alfalfa is more
nearly a perfect forage crop than
any crop grown in this country. 1t
is unsurpassed as a hay for general
feeding and as a pasture, it has
large carrying capacity and pro-
duces large gains. In addition to
this, alfalfa is an excellent soil i'm
proven, putting nitrogen into the soil
through nodules which form on the
roots.
A great portion Of the Alfalfa is
used to produce hay. The number
Of cuttings possible depends on the
amount of moisture available and the
length of the growing season, and
varies from two to as many as eight
cuttings in the southwest. From
thirty to forty days are usually re-
Iuired to produce sufficient growth I
or hay crop.
For palatability and capacity to
support livestock, few plants excel .
llfalfa for pasturage. However. it
5 best to wait until the third year
o pasture alfalfa. Alfalfa cannot
'e graZed too closely or the plants
lie and thin out and. weeds come in.
That every farm should raise some
lfalfa for crop insurance is a prin-
iUle that good farmers are recog-
izing everywhere. A plant that has
II the virtues of Alfalfa fits into
very farm program. /
