At the bd of the first half hour of business prices fere 4 to 7 points over yesterday’s close. 1 V good demand for contracts was in evi- Ince until the- middle of the morning when rices were 7 to 8 points over the last quota- ions of yesterday. This rise was sufficient to ring out moderate fresh selling from short I'oount and values fell off 4 to 5 points from ie highest. Little real selling power devet ed at any time during the morning, chiefly cause the trade was not able to judge of the Ifect of the cold wave now in the belt.

The fall of Scutari is confirmed and grave fears are entertained of the possibilities of compli cations. The map shows fair weather in Ala bama and the Atlantic!*, Cloudy elsewhere. Ceneral rains in the central and eastern states, heavy in the eastern half of Texas and the central states. A decided fall In temperatures in the northwest, freezing in the Texas- Pan handle to Amarillo. Indications are for the odd wave to push on to the central states where further heavy rains are likely on account of a local storm forma tion. The At inn tics should get rains tomorrow night, heavy rains in the delta bill aggravate the river situation and there is danger of low temperatures pretty far down into the western half of the belt. All now depends on bow cold it gets and whether the early start will be rosy in portions of the belt. This fear stopped the selling pressure this morning and caused prices to rally to 12.10 for July and to 11.33 for October.' New York seems io bold to the idea that more long linuidr'-on must take place before notice day without to bullish influence. This caused the suport heir, based on fear oi weather damage to hesitate and the market be came quiet and easier in the second hour. Bear ish comparisons arc likely.

Two of the most import ant ones are that on high, well- drained land, especially gravely land, or stiff red clay soils, alfalfa will succeed even without lime, provided a pea crop or a crop of vetch or soy beans has been grown on this land preceding the sowing of alfalfa in September or October, that is if the stubble has not been turned and the vines are . left on the ground and cut in the earth with a cutaway harrow^ There are probably several reasons for this. One of thfe most import ant is that by simply harrowing the ripened pea vines and cutting them in the earth ahead of plant ing the alfalfa they answer for two purposes. First, as a coating of manure; and, second, they keep the ground mulched and in such a condition as to hold the moisture, which is very essential in the suc cessful starting of this plant. Fur thermore, if the pea roots are not turned up to the hot sun the nitro gen that they have been supplying in the soil will not evaporate and if the roots are allowed to ripen and decay in the earth the nodu)es that are on the roots will be thor oughly ripened and furnish the necessary food that they contain in this ripened form to remain in the earth. This food furnishes nourishment for the tender roots of the aliilfa. Each pea root that is left to^decay in the ground will be similar to a pipestem driven in the soil. It will carry air and water deep down into the clay and keep the soil sweetened and enable the food elements that the pea stubble has put in the soil to become available and be utilized by the tender alfalfa roots, and in this way it practically takes the place of a heavy coating of lime placed on the ground. I do not believe this would be so effective on bottom lands. They would require more or less lime, even though the above conditions were carried out. 1 have seen this season the best piece of alfalfa I have seen in Georgia growing successfully on land that had been treated as above stated. A part of the field being thoroughly limed, but there practically being no difference to he seen at present by the application of lime and where the peas were left in the soil. Another fine piece growing in Georgia of three acres, planted two years ago under same conditions, hears out this state ment, and as I have seen these conditions produce such favorable results I feel like it is worth letting the people know it. There has been another important thing learned this season. That is, where seed have been thoroughly treated with nitro-cultnre, twenty pounds per acre is sufficient to give a perfect stand, planted on land where peas or vetch have preceded the planting of alfalfa. This is a big saving of at least $6 per acre in the cost of seed alone. With these two important les sons learned there is no further excuse for any farmer to wait a moment longer in preparing and planting alfalfa on every farm in this country. With acid phosphator Tennessee phosphate rock used at the rate of one-half to one ton per acre, twenty pounds of seed thoroughly treated with nitro-culture, a fine seed bed thoroughly prepared in September on pea stubbie where the vines have been allowed to remain on the ground and the ground thoroughly broken and well fertilized in June before the peas are planted, no one can help but make a success of the growing of this plant. The growing of alfalfa means more to the south today than any one thing that can possibly be agitated for the southern farmer. The hun dreds of horses, cows and hogs that are at present living on a scant ration would be fat and producing thousands of dollars for this country if the people would only take up the grov/ing of this plant. A number of acres that were planted in October last year have already produced two tons of cured hay per acre, now worth $50 per acre, and during May another two tons will be cut from much of this land, making from $75 to $100 worth of food per acre in less than seven months from the time of planting. With this state of affairs existing in our country why should our southern farm ers hesitate longer to take up this work? One paper published in the state has already organized an Alfalfa Growing club, and large premiums have been contributed by many prominent men who have made a success of it and realize the importance of this work. These alfalfa clubs for Georgia will eventually do,as much if not more than the corn clubs have done for the country as tlyi-s work will be permanent and lasting in its effects. With alfalfa hay selling at $25 per ton readily on nearly all the markets of the south, there is' no crop that the southern planter can possibly put on his land that will make him so independent, and the sooner we get started at this work the better off will this country be. Through the efforts and the work of this paper, Thd Atlanta Journal, hundreds have made a success in Georgia of this plant, and the work will be continued until thousands will do so. The information as gained by others is being so freely given and hundreds of actual object lessons being shown to the people there is no use to doubt this work longer, hut get busy and plant alfalfa and the sooner the ... ■ • q -tu better. Yours very truly, ’ C^j) QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. Uniontown, Ala.—I hate to tres pass on your valuable time, but I need advice. 1. Is buttermilk sood for young fowls, chickens, turkeys and ducks? + 2. In greasing for lice, shall I rub it under wings? 3. How old must young fowls be before dipping is safe? 4. What causes chickens in shell to stick to the inside? (I sprinkle eggs often). Can it be something lacking in food? I will thank you for reply. L. O. D. ANSWER. Fresh buttermilk is good for either young or old fowls. It is a good idea to mix a little wheat bran and corn meal with it. also a small amount of salt. A small amount of plain grease of any kind will kill lice. The least bit on top of the head and a small amount under the thrate will be sufficient. It will no do to put too much grease on young chickens, as- it will kill them. Young chickens should be well- featnered before being diped. It should be done during a warm day. Various things cause little chicks to stick in the shell. Sprinkling the eggs often would cause it as when it evaporates it leaves them very dry and tough. Plenty exercise and proper feed for the old chickens is the best thing to prevent chickens not getting out of the shell. Often the weakness of the little chick in the shell caused them to be unable to break the thick lining. Eggs should never be sprinkled, especially while under hens.
