LIVE STOCK FAIRLY STEADY DURING .WEEK; TOP LITTLE HIGHER

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Choice 1,626 pound average beeves 60ld for Boston shipment at $13 90 in Chicago on Friday, and two loads of the fanciest 790 pound yearlings brought $14.40, this being 15 cents above the previous top. Common to good steers sold at $11.50 to $12.50 most of the week, with a nominal quotation of $14.25 for top on prime offerings, but no sales were made at that figure at the week-end. Cattle ruled fairly steady at Chicago last week. Trade opened firm with prices 25 cents higher than on Saturday, a few prime steers touching J14.50, which proved to be the high. Choice western wooled lambs advanced to $21 on Wednesday, with shorn lambs about $2 lower. These prices were maintained during the balance of the week, with native lambs ranging-at $17 to $20, in the main. The Chicago hog market was a speculative affair all week, with packers slow to act until shippers got under way. A few choice lights sold up to $16.60 on Monday, and none brought a better price. The top on Saturday was $15.40, the market being 15 cents to 25 cents above Friday's range. Indianapolis Live Stock. Indianapolis started the week with a heavy break on hogs, the drop being from 50 to 75 cents. There were 8,000 hogs in the pens at the opening of the market, and the top on the day, $16.10, was paid for but a few loads. Hogs held their own fairly well during the week, however, making a top of $15.75 on Saturday, compared with $15.40 at Chicago. $15.25 at Cincinnati and $16.25 at Pittsburgh. Extra good steers brought $13.25 on Saturday, with calves at $14.50 and lambs at '$19 for top on the day. Common to medium lambs went at from $12 to $16 at the week-end. Grain Markets Are Lively. We are unable to quote flour prices in Warsaw, but we do know that we are shipping wheat to Poland at $3.25 per bushel, loaded at Gulf ports, thi3 being for Red Winter. Northern wheat at Minneapolis is ranging at from $3.20 to $3.40, as to grade. May corn sold at $1.95 for top on the crop at Chicago- on Friday, but closed 5 cents off at $1.90 on Saturday. May oats struck $1.06 on Friday, but followed corn in the Saturday break. Cash corn is worth $2 and up at Chicago. The fact that there is plenty of wheat, corn and oats at country points with insufficient cars to move them, largely accounts for present grain prices. It is the same in all markets. What Will Happen Later. There will be a pressure to ship old wheat when the new is seeking an outlet. Corn can wait, but wheat must move from many crop centers, for lack of storage. We experienced what a car shortage means in this section last year, though the threshing was long drawn" out. We 6hall have less wheat to ship this year. But all the elevator room will be needed, regardless, unless something more happens to our wheat. There is pressure to open all markets to wheat trading as soon as the government control elapses on June 1. On the other hand some say that January 1 will be time enough to take down the bars. Football of Speculation. Except right at harvest time, speculation will have a tendency to advance prices. It is likely we shall hear of untold millions of old grain in the country when the new wheat comes on market this to depress prices. It has often been done this way. One thing is certain; every pound c.i' wheat will be needed this year at good prices, and what "good" prices may mean is for future determination. .It may be that the exchanges will not open for months. Conservatives hope for a long delay.

UNION COUNTY FARM MEN AFTER MEMBERS

The board of directors of the Union county Farm Federation at a meeting in the office of. M. A. Nye, county agent, on Saturday afternoon, decided to put on a drive beginning May 31. Membership committees are to be appointed for each township, and the "drive"" will be in charge of I. C. Julian, of Carroll county, who is doing this work in various parts of Indiana. Meetings will be held in each township, and the following day will be given to the special work of securing members in that township, by phone and otherwise. Mr. Julian will go from one township to another until the county has been covered. This plan of operation has been found very successful.

PIG AND CORN CLUB WORK TO BE PUSHED Wayne county wool growers met at the county agent's office Saturday night, to discuss marketing wool, etc. The discussion was led by E. F. Murphy, county agent, who has been giving much thought to the pooling question, and who advises this method cf sale. Claude Harper, wool expert, who was to speak, failed to appear. The pig club idea received considerable impetus. President Theo Davis, of the Wayne county Farm Federation, announced that the directors had purchased an addressograph, so as to have a complete mailing list of members ready for instant use; also that 1.250 letters were to go out immediately in the interest of pig and corn club work, which will now be pushed all over the county. At a meeting of the Wayne county Farm Federation directors, prior to the general meeting at 8 p. m.. purely federation matters were taken up. The members took part in the general meeting, which was well attended.

Will Dorgan, living across the road on Tom Conniff's farm, also has a tractor and talks the same way. Mr. Alexander says that he put in 27 acres of wheat, that he plowed 12 of it for oats and will harvest the balance. As to hogs, well, he "isn't going to look at a hog until conditions change; nary a hog, unless for winter bacon for home use."

Farm Federation

Word has been received at the headquarters of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations in Indianapolis, that practically every county organization in the state which is affiliated with the parent body will send its president, and secretary to the statewide conference called by President John G. Brown for Monday, May 17. Lewis Taylor, general secretary, has outlined a program for the meeting which calls for a discussion on co-operative elevators, live stock shipping associations, pooling of the wool clip, uniform membership campaigns and accounting systems, road building pro

grams, etc. The first subject to be discussed, however, will be relative to the charges made against the management of the Federation by the editor of the "Farmer's Guide." Reports of a number of successful membership drives in various counties of the state have been received by officers of the farmers' organization and several new ones have been planned for the immediate future. H. C. Reid is arranging for the opening of a campaign in Union county. The experiment of having a representative of the farmers at the Indianapolis stock yards started last week and has been the occasion for favorable comment.

SEEK INCAS TREASURE ST. LOUIS Legendary treasure of the Incas, South American Indians, who at one time . ruled much of the territory now comprising Ecuador,

Peru and Bolivia, which is believed to be buried along the Napo river in Ecuador, is to be sought by a party of thirteen men. organized by Lieut. G. H. Tarr, of East Prairie, Mo. Lieut. Tarr obtained old Spanish maps and descriptions of the country in which millions of the Incas are reputed to have been hidden hundreds of years ago. By advertising outlining the venture, he opened correspondence with about 350 men. from which he selected 13, most of them former service men, and ranging from 25 to 35 years old. Each is providing

his own funds for the two years the campaign is expected to occupy, and J which is expected to cost about $1,200 j a man.

BRYANT TO OFFER UNIFORM LINE STOCK SCHEDULE A uniform schedule to be used by farmers in reporting live stock for marketing was to be presented by George C. Bryant, Indiana field agent of the Department of Agriculture, at a meeting of the National Federation of Farm Bureaus in Chicago, Mondy. The meeting will be attended by secretaries of fanners' organizations and cepartment agents in the corn belt

states. The uniform schedule to be considered at the conference is intended to stabilize live-stock marketing and thereby prevent sharp variations in prices, Mr. Bryant said.

He fears that by just as much as the price rises so the actual number of copies sold will fall off. "Tales are told of the big earnings of novelists." said one writer some time ago. "These tales are perfectly true in that some novelists do earn big money. But it is safe to say that the majority do not get a living wage for their work. And those who do grow rich often do so less by the sale of their books than by the sale of serials, dramatic, film and foreign rights. "It js difficult perhaps to persuade the public that most oi us practically give away our work s far as our getting anything out ot it goes. We live in neat homes like ther citizens, pay income tax and loot moderately prosperous. But, probably nine out of every ten of us earn or living at some other profession.

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

"We have between 300 and 400 acres of wheat in. and it is pretty hard to estimate the probable crop just now," said Joshua Davis, of Liberty. "In the first place, we had to sow a lot of the land in oats, to insure at least a feed rop on it; this on top of a fair oat acreage already planted. Some of the fields look very fair; others are not looking so well. We may have a half i-rop of wheat this year." "The oat fields look promising and the oats sown in the wheat is making a good showing," Mr. Davis said. "We are preparing to plant 450 acres of corn. Some of it will go in rather late but in ample time for maturing under ordinary conditions. We have the usual number of tenants and farm help, so the labor question is not worrying us. personally, though all my neighbors can't say as much, am sorry to say. This question of farm labor is not a local but a national problem. It can't help but cut a large figure in our 1920 crops." Wool as Collateral. The Iowa Fleece Wool Growers" AsFociation has arranged with Iowa bankers to accept warehouse receipts for wool as a basis for loans. This will place the wool growers in position to carry their wools. The Iowa men r.re mostly pooling their wool and responsible warehousemen can issue receipts to individual owners, on which the later can borrow 73 per cent of market value at current interest rates at any time. Cattle Feeders at Purdue. Indiana cattle feeders will hold their spring meeting at Purdue on Friday, May 15, in the stock judging pavilion. Seventy steers which have been fed at Purdue will be presented for inspection, and the results of the winter feeding experiments will be given out, after which the cattle will go to market. The Indiana Cattle Feeder's association also meets at Purdue every fall. Reduced 40 Per Cent. Word comes from Pike county that up to May 4 not an acre of corn ground had been plowed in the White River bottoms, and that lateness of season and shortage of farm labor vould reduce corn planting about 40 per cent. Some farmers are selling their farms and are moving to neighboring towns, to work in the building trades and factories.

Poor Road Mean Loss to

r mi r . i

CKHi Business men ana Farmers By P. G. HOLDEN. NO community can be really a great community unless it has good roads. Progress demands good transportation facilities and transportation begins at home right at our front door. A town may have railroads running in all directions, but if the wagon roads leading Into that town are impassable, the town cannot be a good shipping point. Bad Roads Kill a Town. The town may be filled with live business men ; It may have fine stores with large stocks of goods; the prices may be right; the accommodations' may be all that could be desired. But if the roads leading to that town are impassable, it cannot be a good trading center. A farmer living within four or five miles of that town, may have a large number of cattle or hogs to ship, or perhaps some corn or wheat. The market may be high. But If the country roads are In such condition that he cannot get his products to

m hi if t,n ir- -marr -"tr-r

A Road Like This Costs the Farmers of the Community More Than Enough Every Year to Build a Good Road. town, except at a great expense of time and money, he cannot ship, even though a dozen railroads run through the town. Every year, bad roads cause the loss of many times as much as would be required to build good roads. And the loss falls uponvboth the farmer and the town merchant. Good Roads Mean Good Schools. To have a greater country, we must have better country schools. We may erect modern buildings and hire competent teachers, but our children cannot get the full benefit of these better things if they are unable to attend school regularly because of bad roads. The greatest thing on earth is humanity. Humanity Remands companionship. We cannot be happy and contented if we are isolated from our neighbors. And we must bemore. or less isolated if we have bad roads. Only when we have good roads can we have real community development.
