Bv t'n’ted Preaa NEW YORK, Aug. 31. —Business news over the week-end was constructive in character and stocks displayed a strong tone in the early dealings, although there Were some traces of weakness, principally among the industrials. Equipment shares were strengthened by indications of increased railroad buying, particularly the announcement that Chesapeke & Ohio is about to place contracts totalling $8,000,000 which will be mostly for locomotives. Some selling orders were received from Interior points over Sunday in a few recent leaders, due to the hesitating tendency displayed toward the end of last week. American Can receded more than a point to 2.3294, while General Motors declined fractionally to 88 Vi and U. S. Steel to 120%. . * tendencies Mere checked noon by profit-taking and pWßssional selling based on the thought that the general list was due for a retaction. In brokerage circles the sentiment was mostly bearish, some houses expressing the v-iew that the bull market had seen its crest, while others predicted a sharp set-back before higher prices were seen. Despite the general disposition to advise caution, however, the market continued to display a confident toneHeavy selling was readily absorbed, serving rather to curtail the volume of dealings than to bring about any important setbacks.

GRAINS MAKE QUICK CHANGE Rally in Final Hours Recovers All Losses. Bu Vnitfd Prrta CHICAGO, Auk. 31. —Quick changes were made in grains on the Chicago Board of Trade. The finish was irregular. Strength developed in wheat after midsession. The outstanding feature of the trade was liberal absorption in the face of decidedly bearish news. The forenoon dip sent prices tumbling into new low ground on the movement. A sharp rally In final hours of trading recovered all losses. At the top a reaction on profit-taking dropped values to Saturday's close. Spot corn dropped sharply under proflt-takiTig. An oversold condition was denajjLfttrated in distant futftres by active short covering. Oats were dull and lower without features.

NOVICE FARMER IS DOOMED FOR SURE FAILURE Romantic Days of Settlement Gone in This Progressive Year. By H. D. Meredith United Prif.it Stntf Uorreavondrnt MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 31. The day of romance when the tenderfoot could venture westward to carve a new family fortune from unsettled lands is gone. Brush knives and grub hoes are a thing of the past. The settler who made the great west is now no more. Agricultural conditions today forbid the shoe clerk and underpaid school teacher from the cities trying to eke out an existence from a plat of underbrush claimed from government lands. Failure of the poor inexperienced 'settler have proven that farming is now a profession and crop production a science. Inexperienced Farming Curtis L. Mosher, governor of the ninth-district Federal Reserve Bank, today told the United Press the greatest crime ever committed against agriculture was the settlement of practically worthless government lands by barbers, musicians, wrestlers, sailors, paper hangers and others who did not know the first principles of agriculture. ‘■|n an area of Montana where farm failures were greatest, it was found that 51 per cent of those who went on the land were without previous farming experience and 36 per cent had no capital,” be said. “Among them were men from sixtythree occupations other than farming. "From that same area last year came a shipment of wheat to Minneapolis which contained the highest percentage of proton on record. This wheat brought a premium of 62 cents a bushel on the Minneapolis market. It was grown by an ex perienced farmer. He got $2.20 a bushel net for his wheat. "There is just as much folly In sending an inexperienced man to the farm as there is in putting an inexperienced man on a die-cutting machine. Either will fall. Still Ijind to Be Cleared "Os course there is still a great deal of land to be cleared in the northwest. There must always he that development. But conditions have changed. “I know of no section of the United States today where good agricultural la’nd is available to the experienced and competent farmer on a better basis than in Minnesota, the Dakotas and the agricultural section of Montana." The great trouble today is that there are not enough experienced farmers, Mosher said. Agricultural schools and colleges are turning out highly trained agrarians, but only a small ( percentagi of the*e educated farmers ever till the soil. Most of them become county agents, experts of some kind, or agricultural advisers. Mosher himself is one. and his most valued assistant is another.

mm OH DESERT AND POLE HEAT BY RADIO, HOPE English Professor Makes Predictions in His Volume. Bu United Prea* LONDON, Aug. 31. Rainstorms made to order and diversion of the heat of the tVopics so as to temper the climate of the polar regions are possible future accomplishments of science. Such at least are predictions of Professor A. N. Low. whose book, "The h'utuie," created a furore in scientific circles in England a few weeks ago. According to statements of Professor Low it is but a step from what has already been accomplished In causing pata-hes of rain to fall by dropping electrically treated sand through clouds, to treating great cloud areas to similar electrical charges through the use of powerful radio Instruments. He says, that in fact radio tstations already in operation are unintentionally having an effect upon the weather. At the same time that it will be possible to make rain fall from the clouds at will, lt will also be possible to stop its falling over any given area. In this way rain can be prevented from falling In one area where lt is not needed hut made to fall in an area further on. w'here it may be needed. When this day comes, says Pof. Low, droughts and washouts will be a thing of the past. Professor Low also says that he believes that the use of radio machines yet to be developed lt will be possible to broadcast heat from the tropics; say, to the North Pole. This would open to habitation vast areas which are at present waste lands in the Artie and near artic regions. WOMAN TOURISTS HURT Kentucky Persons Taken to Louisville After Accident.
