Chicago, Dec. 10. A few of the lc-;
cal leaders grew tired Monday and
sold theft- wheat. Tone of gossip after
close was bearish as a result of gen-j
cral news. A few are asking if se-i
curity weakness means anything.
Presence of December wheat at
Winnipeg, Kansas City and Minneapo
lis around 79 cents reveals a weak
s'tuation. Looks as if too lata for
auy Argentine calamity.
Outside is only mildly Interested
and without support from locals!
wheat will probably continue to sag.;
Market watchers say if no rally in;
"heat today the softness may run!
several more days.
The smart set of the corn pit have
another hat for one cent decline chalk
ed out.
List of depressive factors in stocks
ccver 25 reasons including tight
n oney and a high price level.
Meanwhile world business is at its
zenith.
It is now question in stocks as to
wrere the big fellows will commence!
to load up. Main trouble in wheat is
tb sign of congested supplies Decern-!
ber to May. Bull sentiment being;
mcst feeble in many years at this
period.
If you are bearish on provisions sell
May products.
New York, Dec. 10. Prices in
London are all for the new account.
The feature of the market there is
the weakness in steel, which just sold
at 647 New York parity. The Lon
don market this morning is lower than
our last night's close and lower than
it looks inasmuch as these prices are;
for the new account.
The steel corporation will announce
at noon today its unfilled tonnage as
of Nov. 30. An increase of some 200,-
0oo tons is generally expected. Other-!
wise we should not consider the news,
although interesting as particularly
consequential market wise.

in order for a
man to be successful tiller of the soil
he must be a student; he must, keep
up with the procession and he must
not depend upon his ancestors for his
ducation. Father and grandfather
may have been successful in their
crude ways and in their time, but if
they were, that is not saying that we
will be successful by using the same
methods. They had a soil that was
virgin, we have not; they wore home
spun garments, we do not; they de
pended upon oxen to do their burden
some work and transport them from
place to place, we do not; they ate
the simplest and plainest food, we do
not; they lived In an age when luxur
ies were few and far between, when
privation was tbe rule and not the ex
ception as it is now, we do not; their's
was an age of subjugation, ours is an
age of progression and enlightenment;
why not keep up with the procession.
We do not necessarily have to take
an agricultural course at a college to
be good farmers, but we do have to
be students. The knowledge is at

Newbnrg. Ala. "For more than a
year," writes Myrtle Colhrum, of this
place, "I suffered with terrible pains la
my back and head. I had a sallow
complexion, and my face was covered
with pimples. Our family doctor only
gave me temporary relief.
A friend of mine advised me to try
Cardul, so I began taking it, at once,
and with the best results, for I was
cured after taking two bottles. My
mother and my aunt have also used
Cardul and were greatly benefited.
I shall a.vrays praise Cardul U sick

Cardul is a purely vegetable, per

Its ingredients are mild her us, har

make their soils richer than they ever
were, but the average American far
mer is placing the fertility of his land
on the market in the form of grain
and livestock containing large quanti
ties of expensive plant food, while too
often the residues are burned, the hu
mus destroyed and the nitrogen releas
ed elements that are vital to soil
fertility. Thus the great agricultural
areas of the United States are being
steadily depleted to the advantage of
other countries.
The Illinois agricultural experiment
station and the more progressive far
mers of the state have developed a
system of farming which means, not
only productiveness, but permanency.
It is productive because the elements
that compose plant, food and the sourc
es from which they are derived are
well known that all of the essential
elements can be indefinitely maintain
ed. This system is thoroughly ex- j
plained in Illinois Farmers' Institut-i
report, volume 16, paragraphs 42 48. 1
We earnestly urge all fanners and I
land owners to adopt this permanent
fcystem as rapidly as possible, for. If
we repeat In Illinois the history of
land ruin in Palestine, in southern.
Europe, in Russia, and In the eastern
I'nited States, whore shall our chil
dren go for bread? After the land lit
impoverished, it is too late to Invest
in soil improvement. Poverty is help
less. Illinois can not afford to wait
25 or 50 years before adopting a per
manent system of soil improvement
let us begin at once.
