MLS VIGO FARMER WHEAT PRICE RULE

Wheat Kaisers Well Satisfied With the Food Administration's Final Conclusions.

County Agent Clincbell says that for

the

guidance o( wheat growers,

lb« United States Food Administration has prepared data relative to the sale of the 1918 crop, a large part of which nenwins in their hands, due to the car aiiortage and other conditions.

The movement of wheat to primary markets for the period July 1 to August 23, 1918, was 105,500.000 bushels, which is nearly quadruple the movement during the corresponding time in 1917, when 28,750,000 bushels moved to market-

This enormous migration of wheat from producer to milling and consuming areas had made it difficult for growers to securc cars when detsired. The movement of corn and oats, •which is also greater than last year, has aggravated the grain-car snortage* Under these conditions certain elevaions and grain dealers, it is !earned, have sought to reduce the price pakl for wheat to an extent that some offerings were below the price which farmers expected.

The food administration is now col'e«ting data and information upon which to base conclusions as to what is a fWr remuneration for a country oloitaXor, dealer or operator to receive. In the heart of wheat producing areas where a large volume of business is handled, and where expense of operating is low, present conditions indicate that five centsi per bushel is an ample charge. In other rijstriots, where facilities are ot modern and where the volume of business is smaller, eight cents is perhaps not too much- In special cases the margins may fall outside this price range, which is only suggested. Actual determination of a fair buying margin must depend finally on local investigation.

Farmers who are able to get cars are protected because they can ship directly to the grain corporation at the nearest primary market. Where rars are unobtainable the producer's best alternative is to store his wheat until he is offered an acceptable price by his local operator.

Farmers may learn from the foo3 administrator in their state what price is approximately fair and they will not be considered unpatriotic for holding their wheat until they are either offered a satisfactory price or can h'?eare a car in which, to ship to the grain corporation.

When wheat is to be stored on farms, special care should be taken to .. lean the granary thoroughly and jivoid mixing the new crop with Old grain.

H0WET IN POTATO CHIPS.

ASKS VIGO FARMERS TO RAISE

Expert Says This Part of the Conntry Feeds More Dogs Than It Does Sheep.

G. N. Filson, agricultural agent of the C. & E. T., was in town today. He furnishes some interesting data on the sheep industry of the United States, and particularly Illinois. He says the United states has 162,000,000 fewer sheep than in 1910, and Illinois has seventeen per cent. lees. He accounts for this condition by saying that farmers have become discouraged because of the ravages of dogs among sheep, and suggests a "swat the dog" carnpaism.

Mr. Filson found that In Jeffcrson county, where he has Just finished working, there are 2,695 dogs assessed and 2.827 sheep. It is known, however, that many dogs are not assessed, either in town or in the country, and the claim is frequently made that there are many dogs in Mt. Vernon and in the county, it is claimed, on which taxes are not paid.

The C. & E. I. is ma king a campaign along its line to revive the sheep industry. This is believed necessary both for meat and wool production. The number of sheep in Jefferson county is much smaller than it was many years ago.

In come counties the dogs far outnumber the sheep. Conservation of food and wool is one of the necessities in an age of conservation, when everything that can be done must be done to feed the U. S. soldiers and soldiers of the nation's allies overseas, and the railroad company considers the work they are engaged in as an Important one in winning the war.

He was big. healthy and able, yet he had nothing to do. Neither was John Barleycorn the reason for his being out of a job.

He was simply trying lo live on his PAST reputation. He forgot that the world cares nothing for what you have done or what you will do. It wants to know what you ARE doing.
