Condition? in trade and industrial
quarters are awakening to Improved
impulses, while confidence ls replac
ing uncertainty. As yet actual busi
ness has not gained tb? pace display
ed by the spread of optimism, orders
being cf the steady, progressive type,
rather than spirited. However, con
servative Improvement ls reflected in
a number of lines, and; while orders
calling for Immediate shipment con
tinue to dominate, there is more dis
position to pin faith to thc future.

$3,079,704.000,. a decrease of '0.7 per
cent, from last year.

ed renewed firmness today with
March contracts Belling up to within
2 points of the recent high record,
and with the g?n?ral Hst closing
steady at a net gain of 7 to 12 points
aa compared'with last night's close.
The market opened firm at Un ad
vance of 2 to 7 pointa tn response to j
relatively flr~% cibica and private ad
vices attributing tbs strength In Liv
erpool to a better trade in Manches
ter and Increased calling by spinners.
There Was some further soiling here
for southern account, but the offer
ings were not heavy enough to aug-1
gest any general, weakness in Ute]
southern spot situation. After show-]
lng ? net advance of about 10 to ll
points, there were moderate reactions
under realising and continued irado
or hedge selling, with the active
months selling off 6 or 7 points.
The pressure, however, was at no
Hmo aggressive, while there appear
ed to be a broadening of western and
local investment buying on the de
cline with prices reaching the best

Standard shares made little' progresa,
however; and were under pressure
throughout the session. This re

Issues rose from 1 to 4 points and <
there waa a 5 point gain in Virginia- j
Carolina Chemical preferred. Weer 1
tern Union's continued strength was 1
explained by ita very favorable an- 1

Forecasts of another large cash <
gain by local banks were accompanied 1
by a reduction In CO and 90-day loans 1
to 3 and 81-4 per, cent all longer 1

to the belief that hedges were being

JOHNSTONE TELLS
OF BURR CLOVER I
Charmain ol Clemson Trustees j
Writes on Crop.
MAKES GOOD COVER
Senator From Nev*v>crry Believes
That This Legume Has No
Equal for Winter Pastur?.
Now that the attention of the farm
ers ot the State are turning to plant
ing of cover crops more than ever,
Commissioner Watson recommends as
the plainest and Strongest statement
on burr clover the following statement
prepared by Senator Alan Johnstone,
chairman of the board of trustees of
Clemson college, telling of his expert
once with thiB crop:
"As a cover crop during Ute winter ?
months or aa a winter pasture burr
clover bas no equal.
"Like Ute cow pea, lt enriches the
soil, gathering nitrogen from thc slr
and storing it in the earth.
"It will grow in almost say soil ex
cept wet and marshy land-although
lt is best suited to clay land.
"It ls easy to sow, only needing to j
be. thrown on top ot the earth, and
tho ruinB of the fall will beat lt in suf
ficiently to hiing lt up. Between the
15th ot August und the 16th of Sep
tember is the best time to sow, al
though good results have been ob-1
fained from seed sown aa lste as the I
list of December.
"When once sown lt will ever there
after perpetuate Itself, although lt j
i may be easily destroyed by being
plowed under while green.
Make Regular Crap. ?
! . ''It dues not hinder Ute cultivation
of a regaler crop during Ute summer
months, as Ute seed will not sprout
sufficiently during bot weather ta
cause any Inconvenience. Bach suc
ceeding crop comes from Ute seed of i
Ute former crop and not from the j
roots which would hinder plowing.
? "As stated above, the seed can ' be
I thrown .on top ot Ute bard earth and
I need no plowing in or raking under, I
I for the plow invariably covers lt toe
deeply.
i ? "It convenient the land may be
broken. Ute seed then sown on top
and covered with ? light brush or
harrow. They ought not to be moro
than an Inch deep.
"There need be no fear, however, !
In cultivating Ute land after one crop
of seed has been made thereon that I
the seed will be burled, for the con- ;
tlnuous plowing so thorougnly mixes1
Ute soil as to leave enough seed near
Ute surface to produce a stand In the
fall.
"If burled the seed will lie In the
earth, sound, and will sprout when
turned up ne-r the surface.
"Two bushels to Ute acre will bring
a-perfect stand, although as little as
? half bushel, it equally distributed,
will start lt sufficiently, lt not pas
tared while seeding, ta bring a Stand
Ute second year.
I "It may be scattered broadcast in
cotton and cora rows after the crop!
ls laid by and left to come np lu the
ts!L
; '.'Burr clover makes an excellent j
winter pasture or lawn. It may be
sown on top of Bermuda sod (or Ute
sod of any sort of grass) jost as on
top of the clear earth, and will spring
up in the late fall, last through the
winter, seed in June, being then re-1
placed by thc native grasses.
"Cows fatten on lt; poultry revel In j
lt; hogs like lt; lt makes a great pas
ture for sheep and goals.
"Cows can not bite it dose enough
to prevent its. reseeding, as it 'vii]
glow seed In SH Ute little undulations ]
where the cow's tongue can not reach;
Hogs pastured on It should have rings
In their snouts to prevent their root
ing, Hungry sheep or goats might
bosslbly bite lt too closely that It caa
hot paton seed. They should be taken
off about April 16. , .
* "Some growers f?nd it necessary to
inoculate Use sou to obtain a sUna.
Others have never had any trouble in
this respect. Full information as to
Ute process of Inoculation can be had
from the United States department of
sericulture.'*
