GRAIN QUOTATIONS

WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, July 12. Reports of oats

not filling, hot weather for the last four days, advance In bogs to a new high level of $23.00, a ten cent upturn In rye in two days, have been a boon to the grain market. Locals are afraid of the $2.00 level for September corn. Oats trade therefore broadens. Foreign oats news not good. Canadian oats crop only looks fair. More gossip as to trend of things all one way towards inflation. Corn crop news excellent but looks as if oats crop may be two million below tho fifteen hundred million of 1918. Locals over the week end friendly. Cash corn one to four cents higher. Cash cats two to three cents higher.

State Federation to Investigate Price $2,1 1 at Indianapolis and'$2.39J2 at

New York. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 12 A meeting of the board of directors of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations has been called by President John Brown of Monon, to be held In thiB city next Tuesday morning. General dissatisfaction has been expressed by officers of the association over the price beins: naid by

millers and grain dealers for wheat, the assertion being made that the farmers are losing from 4 to 5 cents a bushel as a result of the "reasonable handling charge" provided by the grain corporation of the Federal Food administration. Figures on handling costs which have been gathered by the federation and those set out by the Grain Dealers' association differ greatly, and the farmers have appealed to H. D. Idwin, Philadelphia, Pa., second vice president of the United States Grain corporation for an opinion in the controversy. The farmers are receiving $2.11 for their wheat In Indianapolis, while the

of the federation, who declare that millions of dollars are involved in the issue when a difference of 4 or 5 cents on the bushel is taken into consideration, in the face of this year's unusual production. $2.11 Wheat Not Fair. After taking the matter up with the government, official Secretary Lewis Taylor of the federation received the

following telegram from Mr. Irwin: "2.11. Indianapolis, for No. 1 wheat is not fair, reflacting on our buying basis. If you have a specific charge or complaint submit full information and I will investigate." The federation received figures from the Indiana Grain Dealers' association upon request, which show that the dealers are allowed only

four-tenths of a cent on the bushel as their profit. A number of tables were submitted by Charles B. Riley, secretary of the Indiana Grain Dealers association, but the farmers were not satisfied with them and have forwarded them to the government officials with the following comment: "After due consideration we desire to submit for your attention the inclosed letter from Charles B. Riley, secretary of the Indiana Grain Dealers' association. We also charge that the prices specified in said letter are being charged by the dealers and millers all over Indiana and as a result they are offering to buy and are buying No. 1 wheat at Indianauolis

at $2.11. "We believe the producer is receiving 4 to 5 cents a bushel less than he should. Grain is being threshed and marketed all over the state at this time and immediate action should be taken in order that producers may avoid loss. Can you not state a minimum and maximum reasonable handling margin so that the producer may have some protection ?'

WAYNE WHEAT YIELD SHOWS UP POORLY, SAY GITY MILLERS

Wheat crops in Wayne and surrounding counties are falling below the expected yield, according to a local

elevator man. Although indications

pointed a month ago to a bumper yield, threshing, which is now well under way has shown the wheat to be poor, he says. One farmer said that from a field near Middlebora which 6hculd have yielded from 800 to 1,000 bushels, only 400 bushels were threshed, and this was a low grade. It is thought that this is due to a freeze that came late in April which also killed the fruit crop. If the yield does not turn better many farmers will lose on their crops, one farmer saying that it would be cheaper to feed the wheat to his hogs, and sell his corn. Flour has not been made of new wheat so it is not known how it will work up but Richmond millers say that they do not anticipate anything unusual.

Circuit Court Records Anna M. Bussen was granted a di

Humanitarians of Richmond suggest th,e following rules to be adopted for horses during the intensely hot weeks: Load lightly and drive slowly. Water your horse as often as possible. Stop In the shade. Do not use a horse hat unless it is of a canopy design. The bell-shaped top pieces do more harm than good. A sponge or cloth on top of the horse is a good thing if kept wet.
