The Farm and The Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

In continuation with the subject dis:ussed in this column on Saturday the following brief interviews with relation to the growing wheat, and the outlook for spring planting, generally, are presented. EDEN MARTINDALE Manager of Greensfork elevator The fanners Cooperative folks will take over the elevator on March 1, and I have closed A deal to remain in charge. We arc paying $2.35 for No. 2 wheat and took in 400 bushels yesterday. There is still a little wheat in farmers hands, but they marketed pretty freely early and U are mostly cleaned up. We haven't shipped in any corn as yet; been a little afraid of the outlook, will have

to buy some later. As to acreage of growing wheat this was largely reduced last fall and the outlook is that a lot of it wil be plowed and planted to oats. We have no oats on hand and farmers are inclined to hold oats for seed and none are celling. Our farmers are buying com from their neighbors and paying high prices at sales, for both corn and oats. Don't think any of them will actually reduce their acreage this spring but will plant ana farm as usual. Mr. Seagrave's Opinion J.F. SEAGRAVE Losantsville We are paying $2,440 for No. 1 wheat, but are buying little nor are we getting much corn just now, although we have shipped considerable corn. Oats are worth 82 cents, that is what we are paying today. Wheat acreage was reduced last fall, possibly 30 to 40 per cent. It is very spotted and it is hard to tell what the fly and the ice has done to the crop. We believe there will be quite an increase in corn and oat acreage this spring, to replace the wheat which may be plowed up, and because less wheat was planted. There is a fair home supply of hay, but it will all be needed. West Manchester, O. WALTER PEDEN Of the West Manchester elevator We are selling all the corn we can pick up to local feeders and are paying $1.90 per 100 pounds. Wheat is moving slowly and No. 1 is worth $2.40 today and we are paving 85 cents for good oats. I think our wheat acreage was reduced quite a little, though some farmers sowed the usual acreage. The con- . dition isn't good, very spotted and KSome will be plowed up, especially the early planted which fly infested. Don't think farmers will cut down their planting around here, except possibly as to tobacco. No tobacco moving

here, that I have heard of, for some time. Many are still holding two crops. Outlook at Lynn. EARL. ADAMSON, of the Lynn elevator We are paying $2.00 per 100 for corn, but not getting much, for farmers are trading among themselves and considerable is sold at farm sales. Wheat is worth $2.40 for No. 1 but none to speak of coming in. The reduction in acreage was quite heavy last fall, and with fly damage and winter lulling don't think we will have a half crop. This means heavy increase in oats this spring, probably double the acreage of 1M9. This is a oats country and the- We a lot in farmers hands; we ary'paying 82 cents for oats. Don't think farmers will reduce acreage, but will farm as usual to capacity. Hay is bringing from $27 to $30, with little to spare for shipment. Hogs are pretty well cleaned cut, in my judgment. From Glen Karn, Ohio. Moode Welch, manager of the Glen Karn elevator There are a few oats around here, being held mostly for seed as it is expected that considerable wheat may lie plowed up, from fly and possibly winter killing. Too early to show extent of damage though some fields look fine. Oats are worth SO cents or better, and very few coming in now. We are paying W from $1.S5 to $2.00 per 100 for corn, as

to quality. Think the bulk of best hogs are gone, with plenty of small feeders on the farms. Business very fair for February. Fountain City Opinion. John Powell, manager of the elevator at Fountain City There are from 6,000 to 10,000 bushels of wheat still in farmers hands, we think. What are they holding for, you ask? Well, I guess maybe $3 per bushel, at least some have that idea this winter. Quite a lot of oats in this section and on north, and are worth 86 cents just now. A lot of hogs have been marketed here and one car is being shipped by George Davis today. They must be getting low now on hogs of market weight, but have plenty more growing. Our farmers will not reduce crop acreage, they are farming to make money, and have done so. No excitement as to farm organizations noted. Hay is bringing good prices. I know of no new buildings planned for in town; not posted as to this. H. L. Trick, of Eldorado H. L. TRICK Elevator man at Eldorado. O. We are paying $2.45 for No. 1

wheat and took in around 400 bushels?

yesterday. Not much wheat back in the country, possibly 4 or 5 cars. We are paying $1.40 for corn and getting but little. We planted about usual acreage in wheat last fall and it is too

I early to tell prospects, though the fly hurt a lot and the ice may also have , done damage. A great many hogs ! have gone out from here, 2 cars I on yesterday. Probably thinned out t pretty well, except for fall pigs. , Ship pers complain of scarcity, o cars. ! There is no talk of reducing acreage i Some "trash" tobacco being loaded

here today but most of our folks are holding the bulk of the last two crops of good leaf and no 1919 tobacco, except "trash" has been sold. Wade Kennedy, of Economy WADE KENNEDY Manager of the elevator at Economy Some of our farmers talk of reducing acreage because of the break in hogs and the high cost of food stuffs, if they do they will probably make a mistake. We are selling hogs here right along, one car being loaded out thi3 morning, but the good market weight hogs must be getting low, with the new crop coming on to replace them. Some growers say they will raise less pork. Others say they are in the hog business anc1. will grow as many as usual. We have a lot of oats around here and are paying 82 cents, but the tendency is to hold until they know what wheat will do as there will be some wheat plowed up and the land sown to oats. We are paying $2.00 per 100 for corn today Hay is bringing big prices. A Voice from Hagerstown FRANK THOMPSON Elevator man We are not taking in any wheat just now, nor is there much held by farmers around here. We are paying $1.40 for corn to supply our retail trade, but couldn't pay that and ship it out and get out even. Corn may rally later, as farmers hope it will, though feeders who are buying will benefit by lower prices. Don't think the wheat acreage was reduced materially, but indications are that we won't harvest more than half an average crop, or less, which will mean more oats or more corn or pasture Some farmers tell us they won't get

their seed wheat back. A few are even talking of cutting corn acreage, owing to uncertainty of future prices, and what feeders will be able to pay, but this is not the general idea, labor is so scarce and high that the conservative farmer will put in no more acreage than he can handle with help of his family. When the planting season arrives the outlook may change, in a degree.

The Theatres

WASHINGTON. Without a doubt the most unusual and most powerful picture that has been shown in Richmond for some time is on the Washington program for today and tomorrow. "The Log of The U-35" was taken on the deck of that famous submarine during the late war, under the direction of Lieut. Arnauld de la Periere, commander of the boat. The film was later taken by the allies when the U-boat fleet surrendered at Kiel. It shows cargo steamers and a picturesque schooner stopped by the submarine wounded by its shells and bombs, and then sinking each one slowly at first, with a different turn or roll of dumb helplessness before finally disappearing with a hurried plunge into its grave. For those to whom ships are something human, or magnificently triumphant human creations, those pictures of their assassination by forces controlled by men are overwhelmingly tragic or, to the mood of despair, hellishly comic. WASHINGTON. Without reflecting upon those who honestly believe in the power of the dead to speak with the living, Houdini,

the famous handcuff king and magic

ian, starring in "The Grim Game," which is showing at the Washington theatre today and tomorrow declares

that he does not believe any of the

demonstrations of so-called spiritual ist mediums are genuine.

"I take issue absolutely with Sir Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge, Ella

Wheeler Wilcox, and others who claim

to have conversed with the dead.

MURRETTE Constance Talmadge proves that she can cook as well as act in her latest comedy-drama, "Two Weeks." taken from Anthony Wbarton3 rlav. "At the Barn," which will be shown ut the Murifeite tutuier uua.. As a chorus girl with but littl money she is forced to keep house for herself and do her own coou1- r ' i Miss Talmadge does it, as the screen will show, li may be beyouu iue province of mere man, but any skilled housewife will tell you that the charming actress knows the business of cooking as well as how to make people laugh. In fact she is quite as proud of her household accomplishments as she is of her screen talent, "Two Weeks" is the story of chorus girl who leaps to fame, and who, to escape the importunities or a too rash lover, flees to the home of three crusty bachelors, where she upsets all rules and traditions and vamps her wy through their hard shells and into their hearts.

to crowded New York, to make her great play for revenge and happiness. The opening of "Beckoning Roads" shows Marquita Shay (Miss Barriscale) as a girl in the far Northwest, dreaming of the cities and the crowded places of the United States of which she has been told by her teacher, Cecil Barrington, a young Englishman. When her guardian, John Grayon, sells the ranch she is given opportunity to see these places. Grayson has fallen into the hands of a swindler, Wells, who persuades him to invest his money in a worthJess stock. Grayson, without experience in the world of finance, readily

She leaves her husband and goes to New York. There she meets the man who brought about the ruin of her guardian. He offers her a position, and soon she

learns all about his fraudulent meth
