The unloading began In the rails, overflowed Into the food shares and finally reached the general list, although with the exception of the two groups mentioned losses were not particularly severe. A pre-hollday rally seemed In the making during the early dealings, but ft break in New York Central upset the ra-ils and by afternoon the entire market was skidding. ness characterized the final transac- tlona.

Sales of 2,100,000 shares approximated the average turnover of the last fortnight. There was no Immediate development on which to hang the weakness of the carrier stocks. The nlarket feels that any rise In freight rales Is still some away; meanwhile traffic and earnings are at a low ebb and unfavorable dividend actions are piling up. The payment on Erie second preferred was omitted today. The most obvious reason for New Tork Central's 4-polnt break was the shrinkage In April Income.

Baltimore and Ohio, off i B-8 net, closed on a 10 per cent yield basis. Delaware and Hudson slumped more than New Haven and Southern Pacific 3, and Frisco; Union Pacific, Atchison and Pennsylvania to U. S. Steel lived up to Its recent reputation for making a new low daily. This time it sagged 89T4.

Westlnghouse, Bethlehem, American Can, Sears Itoebuck, Paramount, Itadlo-Keith, Consolidated' Oaa and a few other leaders lost a point or allghtly more. Ameritan Telephone dropped nef, which was also the loss in American and Foreign Power.

Food stocks and numerous specialties found the market National Biscuit, Beatrice Creamery, National Dairy, Borden National Cash Register, Drug, Procter and Gamble and Loose Wiles lost 2 to 4. Selling of the dairy Issues waa attributed In some quarters to metropolitan price cutting In ice cream. The day's most spectacular declines occurred In the Rock Island prefer- reds, the 6 per cent issue breaking 32 points and the 7 per cent stock 20 points. Sales In both were small for the first four months and the road returned ft deficit of nearly $500,000 after fixed charges. Its next bond maturity comes In 19J4, Some of the bond market's wounds were patched up by constructive developments abroad.

Announcement that the Austrian Government would guarantee the obligations of the credit ftnstalt In Vienna removed considerable anxiety, while news of the bank of Uruguay's Intention ot maintaining payments on the external debt was accompanied by a strong recovery In most Latin Americans, German Government rallied briskly. Domestic issues, however, were heavy. Changes In retail and wholesale trade this week have been narrow- too narfow, said Don's, to gauge a trend. Bradstreefs finds the former branch of business spotty, but about holding Us own, although sentiment has Improved. Except for breaks In the May positions, grains were steady.

Wheat closed about unchanged and there were small net gains and losses In corn. Cotton rallied under covering, finishing 12 to 14 points higher. Foreign exchanges generally held around recent levels. The Spanish peseta provided the exception, cables going to S.81 for cables down 29 points, but cut the loss to 18 points. The French franc firmed, which seemed to reflect reparation of funds from other countries.

Sterling was steady.

There Is less of the hopeless attitude in facing the future, but gains for the week in any direction were too slight to gauge a trend.

Outside of New Tork there was a decrease ot 19.3 per cent. Bradstreefs tomorrow will say: "Retail trade throughout the country, though somewhat spotty, about held its own from the preceding week when some advance was noted. Reports to Bradstreefs from 40 leading centers show considerable pessimism, but, on the whole, a slightly Improved business sentiment. This is due partly to hope for the future and partly to better adjustment of conditions. Although further slackening in wholesale and jobbing Is not apparent, this branch of business is plainly much at a standstill.

Industry also shows few signs of awakening. Here and there bright spots appear, but tiie general atmosphere is drab." Prodaee CLEVELAND, May 29 standards one pound prints 2c to 4o a pound higher.

May'29 (iP)-Co. lumbuM Cities gevAflco imon Cities Service prelerretl Pure Oil Poor's Review June and July may be a test period that will give an to the ques- Jtion whether general buslne.ss activity hit its extreme low levels last December and January, according to Poor's Manual Service In its Weekly Business and Investment Letter just issued.

"If June and July hold their own, after allowance for the usual seasonal tendencies, based on the averages of past years, the fact may be accepted as a decidedly favorable indicator pointing to both seasonal and long-trend Improvement during the second half of this year. "During the first three months of 1931, the increase of general business activity in the United States was not only seasonal. but was better than seasonal, based on.the averages over a period of April about held Its own after similar seasonal adjustment of the figures. May figures will probably show a sharp falling off, although the complete May statistics are not yet available. "June and July normally show a drop in Industrial production and commercial activity as compared with previous months.

The question this year is whether the drop as compared with April and May will prove to be greater or less tjian the normal as measured by the averages of past year. If the drop Is less than normal. It will be accepted as a sign that business has not lost all the gain achieved in the first quarter of 1931 and the belief will be encouraged that the long trend is definitely upward. now automobile production is the Indicator that gives us the most encouraging for June. Unless estimates from the industry prove very inaccurate during the next four weeks.

June automobile production should make excellent showing after a seasonal adjustment of the figures and especially as compared with the earlier months of 1931. Re- tall store trade In June also should make a good relative showing if any reliance can be placed on the figures already at hand for May from important chain store and mall order organizations. Nothing definite Is q.vallable yet as to the probable showing of such important Indicators as car loadings, pig Iron and steel production, and electric power production, as well as bituminous coal, the non-ferrous metals, and the textile and shoe industries." CHICAGO, May 29 for a Sudden collapse of May corn price.i the month end settlement of May contracts in all grains took place today without fireworks. A maximum dfop of 3U cents a bushel from almost complete absence of May com during the final dealings and trom belated efforts which holders made to sell out. Government sponsored agencies were active In letting go of wheat whenever prices advanced.

Corn closed Irregular, cent.i down to cent gain. Wheat at decline to advance; oata off to up, and provisions varying from cents setback to a rise of 12 Contra.ftlng with weakness that developed In May corn nervous strength shown by July corn most of the day. Difficulties In effecting purchases of July hoisted that month more than 4 cent.s a bushel prenilum over September and to 1 cent higher than July closed at yesterday. The sharp bre.ak In Mny at the last however, dragged July down also. Weather conditions were favorable for the corn crop, and It was unofficially estimated th 1931 corn acreage would total 6.3 per cent larger as compared with 1930.

Wheat showed ft frequent upward trend owing largely to lack of adequate moisture relief for the Canadian drought region. Some crop damage reports from Nebraska were also an Incentive to buyers- Export business in old domestic hard winter was said to bo of fair volume. Bids for 1931 new crop United Stnte.s wheat were tentative only. An improved call for Canadian wheat to be overseas was reported, Oats sagged with corn. The first of the monthly domestic crop summaries Issued by Chicago private experts was out today, and had a bearish influence, pointing to a likelihood of 49,000,000 bushels larger harvest of winter wheat than last year.

Spring wheat acreage, THEEOMHCME though, was estimated at 11.5 per cent decrease, suggesting 46,000,000 bushels less spring wheat production than In 1930. Provisions averaged higher, responsive to upturns in hog values. Closing indemnities: 58 Sept. Dec. SSfflS.T/i, Sept.

Cooperative shipments of live Stock made by Ohio farmers Increased slightly more than 12 per cent during the first four months of this year as compared with a similar period of 1930.

the Ohio Live Stock Cooperative Association reports. There are two principal reasons for the Increase, R. AUgyer, secre-; tary-manager of the as-sociation, states. These are, first, the generally greater support of cooperative slock marketing In most sections of the stale for the purpose of securing the net dollar for live stock and, second, delivery to the shipping as.soclatlons of consignments occasioned by disposal of non-productive animals or stock Of low value. During the period covered by the report 33 ,422 shipments from ap- proxlmatelir as many farms were handled by shipping associations over the state.

These shipments included 153 ,592 hogs, 10 ,794 cattle, 19 ,647 calves and 46,919 sheep with a total weight ot 47,096,728 pounds and a net market value ot $3 ,564,211. The volume ot hogs showed a gain ot 6 per cent, cattle 10.6 per cent and calves 13.2 per cent, while numbers ot sheep declined 35 per cent following the heavy marketings of last year. The weight Increased 0.33 per cent and the decreased value amounted to about 20 per cent. April waa the fourteenth month in which los.ses from death and crippling In transit for the stale have been 1 .5 cents per hundredweight or less. April's Xom amounted to but one cent per hundred weight.

All trucks in Ohio which are engaged in hauling live stock to be marketed cooperatively arc to be distinguished by their goidenrod color as soon as a change of tialnt can be made, the Ohio Live Stock Cooperative Association states. The uniform color was chosen by managers who attended a scries of seven conferences throughout the state in May. In addition to serving as a trade mark for cooperative trucks the uniform color is expected to protect the farmers from operators who, it is alleged, deliver shipments to other than cooperative agencies when It may be the farmer's desire that his stock be sold cooperatively.

They may be planted aa late as the middle of June, however, the earlier they are planted the better chance one will have In harvesting the hay. Although the soybean crop has some faults, few complaints, concerning the feeding value of soybeans have ever been received. Livestock eat the hay readily and thrive on it even it it has been badly discolored in curing. Soybean hay 14 to 16 per cent crude protein, or Is equal to very good alfalfa hay. Where good legume hay is going to be Insufficient to meet the needs of feeding tlons, soybean hay will, be found profitable.

Soybeans should be sown as soon after corn planting as possible, in order to harvest for hay In late August, about the time the beans have just started to form In the pod. Ground plowed early and worked several times to kill off weeds Is best. Soys should be planted shallow and covered lightly not more than one to one and one-half inches. The Manchu and Elwny. varieties have proven most satisfactory for hay In Huron-co, says County Agent G.

A. Hummon. These may be drilled solid or In rows from 28 to 32 inches apart, according to the' amount of weed growth expected, Rather thick seeding means a finer quality hay and easier curing. About eight pecks of seed are required when drilled solid, and three to four pecks when drilled In rows. Soybean seedlings cannot break through a crust on the surface, of the soil, therefore, a harrow, weeder, or rotary hoe may be used before sprouts appear, or after the beans are up, but not just as they are' emerging from the ground.

They may be cultivated until they' are eight Inches high, if it Is done in the afternoon of a bright day when the plants are dry. The soybean Is a legume, therefore, should be Innoculated when planted on ground for the first time. Much better root growth will develop, and more nitrogen will be fixed In the soil. They will grow best In a soli having a pH value of 6.60 or higher. Soils which will grow good alsike clover will usually grow soybeans.

Hundreds of bushels of soybean seed have been placed in the county this year, however, cereal crops SUCIJ' as oats and wheat, or sudan grass may be used for emergency hay. Glenn Miller Operates Interesting Tiny Fan A miniature farm which not only is IjeantftuI, but is a gem ot a novelty Is operated by Glenn Miller, 12, son ot Mr. and Mrs Harold Miller, Green Creek-tp, Sandnsky-co, who resides about two miles south of Clyde on the Rocky Rldge-rd. The farm operated by this youthful agriculturist contains ail the machinery of the present day farm and in its range is planted nearly all farm crops. In addition to morj than 30 different kinds of flowers, yet the area of the farm is lewt than that contained in a small city lot.

Glenn adopted the Idea ot a miniature far.n when he was but three years ot age. During his third summer he planted one large, potato given him by his father arid was amazed at the production. As he watched the potato plants grow throughout the seasop, Glenn dreamed of the day when he could plant all the things hi.s father planted on the 189-acre Miller farm. He dreamed of how he would landscape his miniature farm, how he would rotate his crops, and how he would construct the driveways to the house and barn. When he was four years of age his dream come true.

The father, interested in his son's desire to plant seed and watch it grow into strong sturdy plants, allowed him a small strip of land in the cherry orchard, Glenn went to work. His crop was harvested that fall, when he was too young to go to Year by year he added buildings and equipment to his "l)aby farm," until today It is fully and at present la seeded in more than 15 vegetables and graln.s, together with many different flower plants and kinds of shrubbery. A tiny house, a tiny barn, shed and garage, all are perfectly arranged In the panorama ot the farm. Natural shrubbery is set out In the little yard at the house, and a miniature windmill and pump dot the back yard. A tractor, thresher, plow, truck and other farm Implements are in the shed on the microscopic plot.

Glenn, although still young, knows his farm, its products and everything connected with It, knows about livestock' too. Last year he won first place at the Sandusky-co fair with his pig entered In the 4-H livestock club exhibits. His flowers took second place. Glenn also knows both the Latin and common name for each, of the 30 flowers planted on his farm. He knows when they bloom, when they should be.

planted, what blooms they' produce and all other details of growing flowers. In his truck patch are onions, radishes, lettuce, peas, tomatoes, and all other garden crops Rye, wheat, oats, corn, squash, melons, barley and a scattering of other farm products are also planted. Each different vegetable or grain is allotted a certain space and all are carefully marked at planting time. Replants everything which his father does. Glenn has appropriately named his miniature farm "Glendale Farm," and has a little sign erected atop the rock garden at the entrance.

Painted rocks curb the driveway leading into the "acreage" and a little triangle flower garden has been constructed In the center ot the driveway. The landscaping Is a feature of the baby farm, all laylng-out being the work of the manager of "Glendale." Shrubbery small enough to carry out miniature plan has been aftd, all details of the farm ftre JidOpted to conform with the style. Glenn next year wlit ttHit grade In the Clyde Mhool. He says he likes nature bat It decided as to his vocation after leaves school. OJenn may tAke up agriculture as he knows, Hia pimw and work of the last nine years he was a hoy of three, ifcartied Oft ft- larger scale as he grows older Will undoubtedly make Glenn a ful farmer.

Glenn Invites everytwdy to Sde farm. He la a modest, qulet Iftd, showing nothing but simple boyish pride over his project. To those who admire the beAuty ot nattire and the achievements of the younger generation it Is well worth while to visit "Glendale" and' talk to Glenn.

Cobblestone construction Is adaptable to almost any farm structure that may be built, and where'rock is available the cost Is relatively low, says Oberiii) of the Missouri College of Agriculture.

This low cost Is further emphasized by the fact that such structures are fire resistant, permanent require no paint on the outside walls. In Jetferson-co recently three milk houses were hullt ot cobblestones to demonstrate the practical worth of such construction. The houses varied In size and costot materials but each proved to be economical when completed. One of tliese 8x10, was built at an estimated cost of not including labor. One 10x14 cost J150 Including $42 charge.

A third one, 12x20 and containing three rooms, cost 186 in cash. The stones used in such construction required no special preparation, sizes and shapes varying within wide limits. Most builders use the stones as they find them. The wide range of colors and textures possible In cobblestone work lends It beauty and Interest. Sorting stones for coloring and tor sizes affords unlimited possibilities for varying the final effects.

Tools required are those generally found on the farm. No man need hesitate to undertake the work on account of inexperience. The laying of the rock is not a highly skilled operation and can be done by anyone very little experience. Best results are obtained when the common building practices are followed. Farmers who have a supply of rock will find that cobblestone merits consideration as a building material for many farm structures.

PINCHING AIDS FRUITING CANE Black Raspberries Benefitted But Red Ones Harmed. Summer pinching, the removal of a portion of the terminal growth of the new, non-fruiting canes when they reach a certain hei.ght. is a valuable practice with black and with purple raspberries and, under some conditions, with blackberries, but It is likely to be with red raspberries. This is the advice ot J. S.

Shoemaker, Associate In Horticulture at the Ohio Experiment Station. I'roper summer pinching ot the black most important bush fruit in. Ohio results in low, stocky plants. Such plants are. best able to withstand damage from winds and the need a trellis or support, which is a considerable item of expense, is avoided.

Checking upright canes at a suitable height facilitates harvesting and a number ot other operations. Strong branches are produced which are' capable the next year ot bearing heavy yields of. high quality fruit. Low, stocky plants also are by far the beat for propagation by tip layering. The canes are pinched when they become 18 to 24 Inches high.

About 3 or 4 inches ot the tip growth la removed by hand or shears. This provides a stronger union "of branches at the It only the extreme tip is Avoid delaying the summer pinching until the canes are i3 feet, or high, because the tendency of tall canes when checked is to produce growth from weak rather than strong buda The plantation should be gone over several times In order to pinch' the canes at the desired height. This is particularly Important after the first; year when the fruiting canes are as well as the new cane' growth. Unless careful, attention is given to summer pinching the soon become taller than is most suit', able. Purple raspberry plants be summer pinched; pinching a.

few Inches higher than for -black' raspberries Is not greatly able. Under some conditions, i peclally where growth is vlgorouh, blackberries may well be summer pinched when 24 or 30 Inches high. Heading back vigorous branches of the current season's growth may facilitate "picking of blackberries, but its effect oh future yield and growth is uncertain. Avoid summer.plnchlng of the red raspberry. Some testa have seemed, to Indicate slight.

benefit with this trult, but others have ciable damage from 'winter Injury and other causes. HURON-COHAS STATION DAY Mmy Pla Trip to Wooster On June 16.
