25, 1939 Whteat Prices Start Up, Then Tumble In Chicago CHICAGO, Nov. 24 Wheat prices started upward, then tumbled a cent bushel or more but finally rallied in a nervous trade today. Selling that came after mldsession was associated mostly with weakness of securities following the reference of President Roosevelt to consideration being given taxes for defense funds. Buying that righted the market and permitted prices to close only fractionally lower than Wednesday was stimulated lnrgely by reduced estimates of the Argentine wheat crop now being harvested and the S. winter crop for 1940.

There is a small but desirable number of hardy annual flowers which may be started in late autumn from seed, divided Into two main Identifying groups those' which start growth early In the spring and those whose seeds are slow or difficult to germinate.

Among these are sweet peas, most of the annual popples, bachelor's button, annual larkspur, snapdragon, calendula, nlgella and sweet alyssum. A few others may be added to this list with certain cultural exceptions. Sweet peas may serve as a general example of benefits obtained from late fall sowing of hardy annual seed as well as to providing a key to methods of this practice. Many sweet pea failures result from late sowing of seed In the spring. In many cases soil and weather conditions prohibit this work as early In March as the plant requires.

Therefore growers should either sow at least a part of the sweet peas in late fall or prepare tho soil so that sowing may be done as early as possible In March. It Is. of course, imperative that seed of hardy annuals sown before winter be afforded maximum protection from soggy soils and complete freedom from standing water over winter. Herein is perhaps the major key to escapo from tho greatest danger of this of seeds before spring. A deep, mellow loam lightened with sand, if necessary, Is advised, preferably In a sheltered location where the soil will not freeze and thaw frequently over win- tor.

Another Important reason" why several of this annual group should be started in late fall Is found in the fact thatmost of them do not permit transplanting.

Two tasks demand recognition at this time of the year In plans to start new vines and In safeguarding established plants. First, new-grape vines should be set out in moat cases In early spring where soil has been prepared before winter by spading under well composted manure and rich loam.

Of course, if hard subsoils lie close to the surface, these should be broken up deeply and the lower stratum of hard soil lightened and enriched with manure and loam. Next, sanitation should be employed before winter around all bearing vines. Several destructive grape enemies survive over winter ra leaves, dropped grapes and other refuse left near the vines after the harvest season ends. Therefore, one of the most effective weapons against these common pests is to clean up fallen leaves, broken branches and similar debris In late fall and burn It, This work pays big dividends in reduced losses the next growing season. All grape vines after they reach bearing age must be pruned each year and pruned according to definite rules, else the plants will bear little or no fruit.

Pruning can be done at any timet according to an old saying of several years ago. But this is not literally true. Of course, grape vines can be pruned any time after they become dormant in the driver's license.
