MAREET DULL, IRREGULAR ‘lew York, June 9.—Stock market prices were again irr on a very small turnover in the early stages of today’s trading, but became decidedly heavy in the last half of the session when the weight of offerings effected numerous extreme reactions of 1 to 4 points. Almost forty per cent. of the day's bus- Iness was transacted in the last hour, the #ntire list then displaying general unset- tlement. Net declines of one to three points were registered by such leaders as Baldwin, Studebaker, Mexican Petroleum, New Haven and Reading. Among the more speculative shares of the shipping, motor and oil groups the|. selling was of a character indicative of enforced liquidation. No news of a defi- nite character developed in connection with the decline, but gossip ascribed the revereal in part to the “house cleaning” now in progress on the exchange. Sales amounted to 1,175,000 shares. There were no new phases in the gen- sral financial situation, aside from the in- itial renewal rate of 3 per cent. for call loans, that figure later being shaded to 8-4 per cent. in private offerings. Open rates for 30 and 60 day funds also show- »d concessions, but longer maturities re- mained firm. “Latest revelations in connectlon with Midvale-Republic-Inland steel merger con- tinued to operate to the detriment of those Issues, but rumors of other industrial and railway combinations were actively circulated. Specific reference was made to the Pennsylvania, Seaboard Steel and Car- penter Steel companies and reports declar- ed that such raflroads as Missour!, Kan- sas and Texas, Chicago and Alton, Kan- sas City Southern and Texas and Paclfic were about to establish advantageous traftic agreements. Better earnings by utility companies were indicated by the resumption on a igher basis of dividends on Brooklyn nfon Gass and general business in the middle west showed substantial im- rovement and larger distgibution of the ore essential merchandising wares. International currencles continued to be influenced by the attitude of the bank- er's regarding an international loan to Germany. Rates on London were steady, but virtually all the allied and neutral re- ::ht):ncu 1:nspd 2 to § points, while arks at 34 1-2 were 8 1-2 points un last week's ‘rally. 2 & — STOCKS, The following is a summary of the transactions an the New York Stock Ex- ,change up to 3 P.

Shipping sales here included . 100,000 bushels of number two hard wheat to ex- porters at 8c over July ¢, i. f. - Buffalo, and it was said cable messages from Great Britain had been rgceived ask- ing for offers of hard wheat. - There was also gossip current that domestic mil- lers were after supplies here.

Interesting extracts from the files of The Bulletin of June, 1872, ars as fol- lows: Monday, June 3, 1872—About 10.30 o'stock Saturdaly merhing fhe to%mn was startled by the report that the dam of the large reservoir, known as Beach Pond, had given away and liberated an immense body of water that threatened to sweep away all obstructions on the Pachaug to Jewett City roadiand seriously damage the numerous mamfacturing es- tablishments that line the banks of the stream. When it was known that the principal dams on the stream had with- stood the first shock and were delivering water without damage, evervbody expe- rienced a grateful sense of relief. Beach Pond is situated about three miles from Voluntown and about 18 mijles from this city and lies partly in the state and part- 1y in Rhode Island. It covers about 600 or 700 square acres. 0. N.

In other sections 1,344 former club members are now attending agricultural colleges, most of whom are partly paying their expens: es from club-work earnings. This does not include 465 girls taking home econ- omics in various colleges. The number of boys and girls in all the state attend- ing high schools, normal ‘schools, -and colleges on_scholarships won for club work is 1,056. These clubs are an im- portant feature of extension work as carried on by the United States Depart- iment of Agriculture co-operating’ with the State Agricultural colleges. boys and girls did not wait un- {ti to go to high school or college before starting their clube work and savings. Some hegan/ twbs fhree, or more years before, or, as one boy sald, as soon as he could, meaning 10 years— | the youngest age at which children are admitted to the clubs. Two girls of Mobile, Ala, with a flock of chigkens, began their savings three vears ago. In Georgia a number of club girls have | started 'go-to-college funds.” They put the money realized from the sale of their club products, wiich are mostly fancy packs of preserves, jamg and mar- malades, in‘the bank to their own cred- t. Thus far 200 Georgia giris are at- { tending school on the proceeds from their work. Another development from the inter- (est shown in education by the club girls is that in Birmingham, Ala., the mem- bers of women's clubs became so much interested that they voted an annual scholarship of $200 to be lent to girls wishing .to prepare for home demonstra- tion . work. s | MOISTURE. CAPACITY OF SOIL, INCREASED BY ORGANIC MATTER In addition to adding plant food to the soil and improving its texture, organic matter, supplied by green manure crops, stable manure, or in any other form, adds greatly to the moisture holding ca- pacity. It has been shown, says the { United States Department of agriculture, that while 100 pounds of sand can hold only 25 pounds of water and 100 pounds of clay 50 pounds, the same weight of humus or decaying organic matter will hold 190 potnds. Clear soil containing organic matter s more friable than similar sofl without or- ganic matiter. When organic matter is [pact during freezing and thawing. When the organic matter Is returned the soil aumb s Riten greezing, fust ab the | original ‘=oil. v { Not only do the higher plants grow | better in a soil rich in organic matter, but the activities of the soil bacteria are largely dependent on the supply of de- caying. vegetable matter. These bacteria need food and air. Their food is the dead vegetable matter, which they break down and make available to the higher plants. Most beneficial bacteria use air, and this they find more abundantly mn a spil supplied with organic matter than in stiff clays poor in it. In sandy soils there is air enough but the addition of humus helps to. hold moisture and so ben- efits the bacteria as well as the higher plants, HOW TO SET OUT A STRAWBERRY BED There are two methods which you may use in setting out your strawberry plants —either the Hill system or the Matted Row. In the “matted row method” the Tows are marked 2 or 3 feet apart, and the plants are set 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows. New runners wi soon form and zoof-between and 1o the mides A\ | entirely removed the clay remains com-f AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS y0f the original plants untfl a solld mat some 15 or 18 inches wide is formed. The plants in the mat should not be closer that 5 or 6 Inches. In the “hill system” the plants are set 12 to 15 inches apart each way, in beds of from 2 to 4 rows, with 18 or 24 inch paths between the beds. To be successful with this sys- tem, all runners have to be cut off most particularly for weeks after planting. This makes one-great blg ' “crown” of cach individual plant, and gives extra big, fine berries. TUnless one can be cer- tain about doing this well and thorough- ly, the matted system will be found to be_the most successful. Be sure that the new strawberry {plants which vou set out are new, strong, and healthy. plants. put them } but not. over. the ’n" or center of the plant. Have the soil fairly moist before planting—using irrigation before planting if - possible—ayfl giving @ thorough watering after the plants are set in the sofl. To afford a successlon of rine berries until late in the summer, early and late sorts should be chosen. v Ozark is a fine, new early; sey Glant: second early are Sam Glen Mary: medium to I ) mer, Brandywine, and Marshall; Lovett, Big Joe and Chesapeake. In addition to at least three of the above varieties, you should also plant ono of the ‘“ever-bearing” kinds. The everbearing berries are no longer an ex- periment: they are practical, and well worth while, particularly for home - use. Ever-bearing varfetles set out now and kept well cultivated during the summer will begin bearing tn August or Sep- tember, and keep right on untll hard freezing weather. T have gathered zood ripe barrles in October. The culture is the same as for others, excent that pinching the blossoms off in spring and early summer will give a heavier crop In setting in the v firmly up to, in the autumn. “Progressive” is one of the best ever-bearing sorts. FOUR SHORT COURSES ARRANGED AT STORRS FOR JULY Plans for the summer at Connectlcut Agricultural College emphasize more than ever before the services that a vocational institution can render during a ‘vaca- tion period.” The summer part of the college year is devoted to adults in ac- tion and service, as is indicated by th following schedule of summer courses, meetings and conferences already arrang- ed for the coming season.
