Nebraska to Have Better Chance at Big[ Grain Show Redistricting of Country Will Aid Corn Growers in Competing With Other States. Agricultural College, Lincoln, Oct. 7.—Nebraska farmers will have a better chance than ever to win In the corn classes at the coming Interna tional grain and hay show, because of a redistrlcting of the United States ' Into regions. In the past eastern Nebraska farm "is have had to show corn against Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana farm ers. In the new regions eastern Ne braska counties will compete only with northern Iowa and Illinois. A new region has been made for corn in which the western two-thirds of Kansas and Nebraska are the two ehn f corn producing areas. Farmers in Nebraska who live west of Lancaster and Gage counties, south of the Pintle river and west of a line drawn south front the west side, of Knox county north of the Platte river, will have an extra good chance to win in the corn classes, due to their very favorable location, ns compared with the rest of the region in which they are placed. Liberal cash prizes are offered on all classes, amounting to $12,000 for the show. Last year Nebraska won first on alfalfa hay. competing against the whole United States. We should do ns well this year. The Nebraska Crop Growers' as soctation will have an educational exhibit at the show and some one will also he on hand to unpack and arrange the exhibits. Entries in all classes must be in by November 10. Premium lists and other information regarding the show may be secured by writing P. H. Stewart, secretary Nebraska Crop Growers’ association.

Uve of North Mehoopany, Pa., who is giving this demonstration, says that he finds his poultry a better-paying proposition than his dairy and in breeding Ids poultry flock lie makes a selec tion from Hie best layers some time in October. These biids are then banded and used for breeders the coming year. John J. Jaquislt, the county agent at Ttinkhnnnork, Pa., says that Mr. I.ove takes great pride In inviting poultry fanciers for miles around to come to his place to receive at first hand the practical information he lias about feeding for I lie whole year. Ilis poultry houses are models of convenience and sanitation. His birds are always healthy and happy anil lie lias a state-wide reputation. Omaha Poultry Dealers Report Heavy Slump in Demand lor Fowls There Is Practically No Market for Hens, Ducks, Geese and I in kers—/ his Is Principally Due to Approaching Holiday Season. The poultry market i« experiencing its usual post-holiday slump, accord* in" to reports fvom the commission house district. Hens, ducks, geese and turkeys are in little demand. The market, for spring chickens and pul lets is fairly active. Spring chickens are being bought by coin mission agents at 17 cents a pound Heavy hens bring Iff cents and light hens 17 e# nts. Leghorns are 3 cents lower on the price scale. The market for ducks is reported as very slow. Fifteen to 18 cents is 'he price range for quackers. Spring ducks weighing four pounds or over are the only ones in demand, and these are generally quoted at 17 cents. Geese are In I^ss demand than ducks. The turkey market is even worse. One large commission house reported that no more than half a dozen are being sold weekly. The demand for these is practically nil, ex cept during Christmas, Thanksgiving and other holidays. Squabs have been forced down to a much lower value than other years because of the small demand. Only the best squabs are being speculated* in and these must weigh 12 to 1G ounces apiece. Squab? are being bought for $3 a dozen. In contrast to the $5 and $6 prices which have been in vogue for the past few years. Mediocre squabs are not bought, and the pigeon -trade is also quite slug gish. Guinea hens and pheasants are not being shipped, except in very small numbers. What little demand there is for these latter fowl is lim ited to the young birds. W. W. Doten of the King Cole com pany says roosters are very scarce, due to the rush of business in the rooster game last spring. "Roosters are almost impossible to get." said Mr. Doten. "All of them seem to have been scooped tip in the spring season, and restaurants and other trade which deals in them are hard hit. The only difference between rooster and hen meat is the degree of toughness, and this the restaurants are able to overcome with their pow erful ovens. Rooster meat is more solid, and when well cooked many prefer it to hen meat." The Plymouth Rock chicken is best seller on the market. Black norcas and Leghorns are very poor from a market standard, although they are often the best egg produc ers. Except for springers, there is no business to amount to anything in chickens weighing four pounds or un der. Small hens are bringing 16 cents a pound, while hens weighing five pounds or more are being quoted at as high as 21'cents. Financial New York. Ort. 7.~The most spectacu lar event of the financial markets last j week was the sharp rally which occurred on the New York stork exchange on,Wed nesday. Apparently without any particu lar supporting factors In th- news the market steadily became quite active *nd firm Da ins of one to four point s w« re accomplished on a turnover well above the million share mark. Tn ntost quarters it was readily ad mitted that th- motive power was sup plied bv urgent repurchasing by traders who had sold the market short Trade-* concluded that the market whs in a well liquidated condition, thnt the short side had heroine overcrowded and that neither the technical nosition, nor th- business situation .fust <7ied the amount of short selling which had been going on. Perhaps the ino.«t significant develop ment was the continued advance in grain prices <*anh (orr# In Chicago sold a; the highest price In three years and th- prin cipal futures galhed several additional cents December wheat made a new high for the crop and commanded at least 10c more than the price of two month* ago Cotton moved over h rather wide rang®, but ita price ww on the whole well main talned.

Care Needed in Potato Storage Tubers Must Be Properly Dug and Handled to Obtain Best Results. I.incoln, Oet. 7.—According to the Nebraska Agriculture college exten sion notes, made public today, pota toes can be successfully stored un til next spring "if proper precautions are taken In digging, handling and storing." The extension service notes regard ing the storing of potatoes follows: "Only those potatoes that are of good qually and properly matured should be stored for long periods. Tubers that are badly bruised or im mature or Infested with fusarium vvjlt will not keep well. “After the potatoes are dug they should be allowed to dry for several hours, then he packed in crates or sacks and carefully placed In the birts or storage pits. Rough handling and scooping Is conducive to the entrance of dry rot. “Ventilation Is very essential, especially where large quantities are stored. False floors and sides facili tate the circulation of air, which car rips off excess heat and foul air. Fold air intakes and warm air outlets should be provided at the rate of 70 square inches for each 1,000 square feet of storage space. If space is available the piles should not be over four feet deep. “The atmosphere in tlie storage place should be moist enough to pre vent shriveling, but not so moist that water condenses on the tubers. Tie temperature 1io7t suited to Pot"'°* Is from 32 to 35 degrees It down decay and the potatoes retain their crispness. Outdoor pits may be used with success as in storing o root crops." _ An Kgs Producer's Vow. One two. three, four— Isn't going to go any more.

The Business Barometer This Week's Outlook in Commerce, Finance, Agriculture and Industry Based on Current Developments. Ilv THEODORE II. I'KU K. Editor Cummerre and Finance, New York. (Copyright. J923.) The week's business developments were nil of a nature to strengthen the cheer ful confidence with which most far sighted men view the outlook for fail and dinter trade. Short Hellers on the New York Stink Exchange at last found that prices could not be depressed fur ther and the resulting covering move n ent advanced quotations quite sharply. This In itself was as void of significance as the decline which they had previous ly caused, but its effects on the temper of those whose dispositions are largely governed by the course of stock prices was most salutary. It obliterated the bewilderment—and hesitation which was d(^eloping because one of the business in dicators was pointing in a contrary direc tion to most of the others, and there was an njsdiblc sign of relief as the market swung around in harmony with trade reports. Farm Products Slrong. Second in importance was tlie contin ued strength in prices of the chief agri tultural products. Corn sold at over u dollar in Chicago, the highest price in three years, and as the December tu ture is quoted at 7& cents there is every reason to expect very high prices for the ne werop also Hogs and cattle, too. have scored and held sharp advances from the year's low prices.

By some this will lie regarded as an unwarranted ex tension of government activity, but the fact is more important than the theory. Payrolls Are High. As for the- manufacturing sections, there is no unemployment to speak of mid payrolls aie uniformly very high. mu high, in fact, that the buying power of labor in terms of commodities is prob ably the largest it has even been in our history. And while it is to be expected that payrolls will be decreased to some extent during the winter, there is no reason to believe the cuts will go fat. Enough building is in progress and planned to assure more winter employ ment of the building trades than in any other year except last year. The usunl curtailment will be enforced in automobile production, put automobiles are now priced at very attractive levels and the General Motors corporation ex 1.1- i is to turn out more cars in October than In any month of its history. Theie is no i canon to look for any cut in raii load payrolls. as their fail traffic- is al most sure to break ail rei ords and since the Big Four" brotherhoods are asking wage increases, which they have an ex c»*|lent chance of* getting if they will agree to certain changes in working rules. The short time of some texixile mills laud ilie shutdown of the Amoskeag ging ham mills have occasioned some pessi mistic talk, but the condition of the rnar 1.1- ts is a linos ta guarantee that curtail ment will not become epidemic. Produc tion in ail lines, in fact, while below t ha peak of the year, is still lar above 1922 levels and promises to continue so. Trnde Is Heavier. Out of such fecund soil bountiful busi ness easily grows Trade continues every where heavier than last year. Mail order stores re port a 2i» per cent increase. 1 he hardware- trade makes a like statement. Dry goods business is excellent Many |in< a nave not been marked up to a parity with raw- cotton and distributors realize that there is little hope of getting goods c neaper. I heat tala of '‘resistance against higher prices,” but it will be time enough to consider that when high er pries develop. Meantime retail trade seems to eb good everywhere. M*dul Consumption High. Copper snows m< improve-men'. and iron and st*-el production is declining some what, but consumption continues high, com ng needs .-ppear gr-at enough to supply the mil!* with good winter busi ness and now that Judge* clary has said that prices will not be cut in the near t future buying will probably be a< c-* Ti - red.
