MIGHTY GOOD TALK III LETTER WRITTEN BY PREBLE FARMER A communication from a New Pari a farmer, headlined, "As the Farmer Sees Things," makes interesting reading. The writer Is a man of decided views and doesn't mince matters. He says what lie has to say. His letter follows: "Should the American farmer adopt the eight hour day, American miners F.nd mechanics would soon find themselves needing to adopt a 6 hour day or go hungry. "Why" boys leave the farm: 'Dad, kin I go to the picture show next Saturday night? " 'Naw, 'tain't more'n a month since you went to the top of the hill to see

the eclipse of the moon. 'Pears to me you want to be on the go the hull time . "Russia haa shown us that men live upon bread, not upon wages; that money Is good only in proportion to the supply of actual commodities that j can be bought with It, and that when 'production stops, money becomes worthless and men starve and freeze, .regardless of the rate of wages, the jlength of their working day, or of the mmount of money thfcy have la their i pockets. "At 20 you left the farm and came to the city. And for 30 years you liave been working like hades. What for? "In order to get money enough bo I can go back to the country "A good many men with fuzzy Ideas and soft hands are very busy now with theories that work is largely unnecessary, and that if the world were given over into their hands to adjust, they -would show us how to live adequately and equally on three hours or so of actual labor a day. "One wiser than the sum of all these ttheorists has decreed that by the sweat of his brow man shall earn his 'bread, and man has proved by centuries of trying out this decree, that true lhappiness lies . in obeying that injunction. His Leisure Hours "The farmer's life is one of toil," aid the spectacled city man. "But, Hell me, how do you amuse yourself Murine your leisure?"

I "Splitting wood. grinding the

tecythe, mending harness, patching the jehed roof, building fence, breaking kolts and such other merry trifles as happen to occur to my mind," promptly replied the honest farmer. Wheat Going Higher 'New wheat will start at $3 a Trashicl, sell at f 4 before Christmas, and at i$5 before another crop is raised." 'This is the opinion of many experts who claim that "insects, bad weather, and political propaganda have destroyed almost half of our usual crop of winter wheat." "Australia has had three bad years in a row, and has forbidden the export of wheat. Russian production has been demoralized for five years. A year from now wheat will be scarc-

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The men who have faith in late planted oats will be glad to know that the man in charge of the Earlham farm began to sow oats Thursday morning, May C. '

"Now don't put my name in the paper," said a farmer who called at the office Wednesday," but I'm here to say that the ground I shall sow in oats hasn't yet been plowed. May not sow oats until next week and it will take two days to get them in." Farmers who have hesitated to plant potatoes because of the scarcity and high cost of seed, are advised that seed potatoes are selling in Richmond at the retail cost of table spuds, the Trice not having been advanced in a month. Good Cobblers and Carmans are S6, and early Ohios, 8 per bushel, and there, was quite a liberal supply here Wednesday. There are no cheap potatoes in sight for next winter. Still Sowing in Union County. "Yes, they are still sowing oats in Union county," was the report from the Bath elevator at Liberty, on Wednesday. "A farmer today reported that he hadn't the seed bed ready yet, but would have his oats in within three or four days. It Is likely that oat towing will go on until the middle of next week. We are paying $1.77 for

er article than it was a year or two ago." Dire predictions like these have got

ten yours truly a little nervous and he is laying up a good supply. Go thou and do likewise. You can't lose and It may cost you twice as much later on. Better be careful and be sure you have a place for storage that Is absolutely dry and free from mice. Why Farmers Raise Wheat Farmers raise wheat for the same reason that many men play poker. They like the game, but they don't expect to make any money. Although I have made plenty of money with two big crops during the last two years, before that time I had raised about 45 acres of wheat each years, for nine years, and never made a dollar profit. Part of the time I would have good cros and double my money. Sometimes I would have a crop failure and lose everything, and at other times would have a partial crop and break even. Last fall we sowed 50 acres, but have already sowed 15 acres of this in oats, and what is left looks about as healthy as a sick cat. ' "ROY E. SMELKER, "Pine Lawn Farm. New Paris, Ohio."

corn today. Fruit prospects are bright,

and wheat shows much improvement where at all good." H. L. Trick, elevator man at Eldo

rado, stated that he believed they were done with oat planting around there; also that many got' their oats in early, some reporting good growth and prospects. He states that considerable wheat was plowed up and will be mostly put in corn, in other cases oats were sown in the wheat, to make sure of a feed crop. Wheat has improved a lot, is stooling out well, and taking ell conditions into account, they should raise a half crop, or better, for the entire acreage. Mr. Trick believes that, unless a freeze should come, that Preble county will raise a lot of fruit this year. Improvement Is Slight. "Don't think wheat has improved greatly over our first estimates over this way," said John Hazlerigg, of Cambridge City. "It is growing, of course, but can make but a light crop at best, taking all the acreage sown, much of which was plowed up. Farmers have sown a pretty good oat acreage, but guess they are done sowing now, a few fields having been planted since May 1. No grain has come in since the farmers have been able to get into the fields, but thfre are still some reserves on the farm, including wheat, corn, and oats." Quit Before Getting Through. Harry Reed, of the Farmers' Cooperative Elevator at Camden, said

I that so far as he knew farmers had quit sowing oats. "Not all put in as much acreage as wanted, thinking it

too late to risk it, and this will increase the corn acreage. Many plowed up their fly-killed wheat and put in oats; others will plant corn in place. Late sown wheat is looking good."

Cigar Trade Flourishing In First Ohio District Cigar manufacturing in the entire First Ohio Internal Revenue District seems on the upward trend, according to the official statistics for the month of April, which indicate a total collection of $132,128,42, an increase over the corresponding month

last year of $48,866.08, or 58 per cent Internal revenue collections from the

sale of cigar stamps during the first I

four months of the current calendar year have amounted to $481,527.32, an increase over the corresponding period last year of $200,629.16, or 71 per cent. The production of cigars in the district during April, 1920, was the largest of any month since last October, and with that single exception, the largest for several years. The increase over the corresponding month last year amounted to 3,836,137, or 26 per cent. For the ten months of the current fiscal year an Increase of 30,026,421 cigars, or 21 per cent, is indicated by The Enquirer's compilation of figures. For the four months of the current calendar year an increase of 13,742,599 cigars, or 25 per cent, is shown. Reports from Cincinnati factories indicate an unusual degree of activity which is hampered only by transportation difficulties and the inability

, to secure sufficiently large numbers

oi competent workers.

INSPECT THE GRAPE VINES , Inspect grape vines for flea leaf beetles as they have arrived in enormous quantities, is the warning sounded by Frank N. Wallace, entomologist for the tate conservation department. The grape vine flea leaf beetle is a tiny, blue-green Insect one-fifth of an inch long, and its principal destruc

tive power lies in eating the early buds. This Is followed by a deposit of eggs from which the larvae soon develops and attacks and devours the bloom and leaves,' frequently ruining the crop. An efficient means of eradication is found in a spray composed of one ounce of arsenate of lead mixed with one gallon of water.
