WAYNE COUNTY'S WHEAT CROP THIS YEAR WORTH NEARLY TWO MILLION

- By WILLIAM R. SANBORN If all the wheat soon to be harvested In Wayne county belonged to one 'man this story would not be worth the telling. True, this fortunate man would have a plutocratic income, and might be set down as a liberal spender, but at the best the wants of any one Individual or family are few and it is from the disbursements of the masses, upon the incomes of the people as a -whole, that prosperity depends. - - At this writing there is every indication of a banner wheat crop, not only in our own Wayne county, but in all the counties over which The Palladium circulates. That there was a liberal increase in wheat acreage last fall, compared even with the large planting in the fall of 1917, is now a well known fact. Taken as a whole, the stand was never better at this date in Jnne. This was anticipated during the winter by the hundreds who attended the many farm sales, whenever a self binder was put up. These machines have doubtless been long since overhauled and are ready for action. But the demand for new binders this spring was even more reassuring.

Dealers in farm, implements report very large sales of binders, and indeed of all classes of agricultural machinery this season. Farmers prepared to plant, cultivate and harvest to the limit and "threshing rings" were long since completed. The stage is now !set for action as to handling the wheat .crop and in a few brief days a stream of Wheat .Money will begin pouring into the banks. ; A Lump Sum Cash Crop Wheat money comes in a bundle, it ds the one big cash crop which is seldom peddled out throughout the year; and particularly not now when the price is established for delivery at nearest loading or elevator station. -The farmer will get $2.26 at his elevator, if his grade is right, and very little less, regardless of grade, for the average run. The fact is that farmers who did not clean up early last year have been getting more than the guaranteed price on wheat in all parts ol the country. As to their being able to do so on the coming crop none may Fpeak with authority. There is a tremendous crop in sight, possibly. 1,400,-

"000,000. in round numbers. Canada 'planted wheat liberally this spring and .has just had fine rains. The Canadian crop Burplus figures as Importantly as our own, in the world's markets and as to world's prices, outside of our own guarantee to our home farmers. The latest advices from Europe are "to the effect that we must supply its various nations with at least 400,000,000 bushels from the new crop, a demand far in excess of all previous : shipments in any crop year. Wheat Money Distribution. An analysis of what this influx of cash will mean to our various mercantile, financial and manufacturing institutions within the next few months would make interesting local reading. But more than this, it would interest a thousand firms in the east, and indeed, in any part of the country from whence our people draw supplies for retail distribution. The New York manufacturer of women's wear, the clothing maker; the purveyors of collars and ties, hats and shirts, gloves

'. and hosiery, silks and domestics, shoes j

and rubbers, all up and down the line of wearables. But this is far from all; what of the elegancies in women's adornment and her jewels. What of her rugs and carpets, her home furnishings from the viewpoint of art and comfort. The furniture man and ;the hardware man are to share in -this influx of money and the manufacturer who supplies these Btores is to .also receive his share. Every concern supplying a human need or a desirable article in any line, which is Interested in this section of , our country, is also interested in our local wheat crop; its size in bushels and its value in dollars. What Farmers Will Buy. Among the many things that our farmers will invest wheat money in this fall will be autos and sewing maj chines, pianos and phonographs, washing machines and wind mills, electric conveniences and home lighting plants. The long anticipated parlor rug, the , new dining room furniture, the addition of a sleeping porch and a bath ; room in connection with the installation of running water, by motor or direct from the wind pump, form a i part of many a farm comfort program and much wheat money will be invested in all these during the next few months. And having invested a part of the farm income in this manner for the many needed things that crops are

Intended to provide, this stream of cash from farm homes will continue its onward flow through many hands and in many channels of distribution to the benefit of a hundred different national industries and to the direct and immediate profit of Richmond merchants, and also to the business men in all the towns in this district.

Trade will be active here next fall in a broad way; not simply what may be termed seasonable necessities but1 in the home comforts and luxuries which sweeten life and lightens women's work in the farm home. For the farmer himself there will be new feed grinders, shredders, new silos here and there and If farm tools and conveniences are lacking many will now be supplied. A good wheat crop, at a good price, means a whole lot of new money in every township which will soon be filtering into our banks and quickly thence into circulation. Few can complain of spring business and , a lively summer trade in seasonable lines is to be anticipated. But our fall trade should be a record breaker. Every optimistic business man is preparing to reap his share

of the harvest to come and heavy buying for fall delivery has been the rule by all progressive merchants.

Acreage Sown to Wheat

ments are booked for Europe. But there will be no complaint as to the price set; nor do we believe there will be any considerable holding where storage can be immediately provided. As long as the wheat is in the growers' hands, there is the shrinkage, insurance charges and the loss from farm pests to be considered, and the damage which results from improper storage on many a farm. The tendency will, we think, be to get the grain out of hand and the wheat checks in bank as quickly as possible, throughout the winter wheat belt The spring wheat harvest is still long weeks away. Should anything happen to that crop to cut it down, which may

a kind Providence forbid; that would put a little different phase on later wheat market conditions, doubtless. Still, we will have possibly enough winter wheat to supply every real demand, with but slight assistance from American and Canadian growers of spring varieties.

their showing relates to the exact acreage reported by each individual farmer as to the amount of land Bown to wheat in the fall of 1918 and which is now ripening for harvest. Washington is the banner wheat township, reporting 5,260 acres. Center is next in line with 4,750 acres, and third in the contest for acreage and wheat money is Wayne, with 3,620 acres. New Garden reports but 1,469, the lowest on the list. The following is the acreage as reported by townships: Abington Township ..... . 2,655 Boston Township 2,490 Clay Township 2,562 Center Township 4,750 Dalton Twp.

Grand Total Acreage ....41,252 Estimating conservatively at 20 bushels to the acre, in view of the magnificent promise, we find that the farmers of Wayne county are due to collect at least $1,856,000 on coming wheat crop, based squarely on the government guarantee of $2.26 per bushel. Hundreds of millions of bushels brought more than the government set minimum price last year but 1919 is likely to tell a different story, though that is by no means a certainty. The government promises to buy all wheat at not less than the set price; and this was true of the last crop. This, however, has not prevented farmers selling to buyers who offered more, nor will it on this crop, unless there is some new ruling in order to reduce the price of flour and lower the cost of bread.

B. F. WHITTINGTON NEBRASKA JUDGE NOW INDORSES IT

Has Gained Twenty Pounds by Taking Tanlac "Seems Wonderful," He Says.

One of the distinguishing features of the introduction of Tanlac throughout the country is the large number of prominent men who have felt it their duty to disregard precedent and come forward with their unqualified endorsements of the medicine because of the benefits they have derived from its use. The latest addition to the list of prominent endorsers i3 the name of Hon. Benjamin F. Whittington, judge of the Rolston Court, South Omaha, Neb. In relating his experience with Tanlac Judge Whittington said : "The results of Tanlac in my case cretainly seem wonderful to me. Before I began taking it my health was broken in many ways, and I did not know which, way to turn for relief. My liver was all out of fix, I was habitually constipated, and bilious. I was so frightfully dizzy most of the time that I could not stoop over for fear of falling. My kidneys were all out of order, and in bad shape, and I had fearful pains in the small of my back. My appetite seemed to be fairly good, that is I could eat; but my food did not seem to be properly assimilated.. Sleep failed to rest me, and I felt tired, languid and wornout all the time. I was pale, and not only felt badly but looked that way. I had been in this condition for a year, and was becoming badly worried because nothing seemed to reach my case. . "I had fallen off twenty pounds in weight, as a result of my troubles, but I have gained it all back by using Tanlac, land have never felt better In my life. I decided from what I read in the papers about it to try it, and I felt like a new man before I finished my first bottle. So I went right back for another and so on until I took five bottles, and now I haven't an ache or pain and am feeling great. And eat, my gracious. I eat like a farm hand, all I can get, I never saw anything like It. I sleep like a log, and get up in the mornings thoroughly refreshed and feel brim full of energy all day long. All the time I was taking Tanlac I was doing three men's work, and improving at the same time. Now this

Is just what Tanlac has done for me, and I gladly give this statement for what It may be worth to others who are trying to find relief." Tanlac Is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistletlroaite's store and the leading druggist In every town. Adv.
