Production Threatened by Congestion of Freight, Report NEW YORK, May 20. Farm production has been seriously affected by the freight congestion, according to dealers in farm implements, seeds and commercial fertilizers in this city. The head of one of the largest agricultural implement firms in the country declared yesterday, in a letter to the Merchants Association, that in many sections there would be only one-third ot the normal crops this year because of the farmers' inability to get seed h.m implements. -. : In his letter the dealer says that the Interruption of transportation facilities is proving a much more serious f:tctor than the daylight saving law in the reduction of farm produce. "The railroad strike has certainly paralyzed local commerce," says the letter. "In our particular line dealers and farmers are crying for their goods, more especially because of the late season, and yet it is impossible for us to help them out because of the present situation."

The Farm and The Farmer By wriUam R. Sanborn

While admitting on Wednesday afternoon that we have now had plenty of rain, Frank Jones, of Richmond, stoutly maintains that whatever losses may come to fanners who still have corn to plant, that the benefits from recent rains will largely overbalance them. "No one can tell how much good these rains have done, all over Indiana," said he. "It Is simply wonderful, this change in wheat prospects, and the growth of oats and clover, in fact all the grasses." At to corn, Mr. Jones is also behind his schedule. He has 80 acres prepared for corn and not quite half of it in, but says that doesn't fret him any. "The ground is full of water now and when planted corn will make a quick start," is the way he puts It, Some Very Fine Wheat. As to wheat Frank Jones claims that Franklin township has a number, of fields that promise as good crops as have ever been grown in Wayne county. Says he has 80 acres which can't be beat anywhere, and that the clover in it is as thick as hairs on a dog." Also says that dozens of farmers have told him how greatly their wheat and grass crops have improved within the past few days, owing to the rains. Fleeces Averaged 14 Pounds. Bed Foreman, who is farming the old Jonaa Gaar place, southeast of town, reports shearing a bunch of ewes, whose, fleeces averaged 14 pounds. Says he was lucky enough to get In 55 acres of corn between rains and still has 12 acres to plant. He sowed no wheat last fall but has 40 acres of thrifty looking oats. Mr. Foreman Is feeding about 100 head of hogs and has 40 head of young shorthorn cattle which will be put on pasture shortly. Thinks Wool Pool O. K. Gaar Eliason, of Centerville, says he had Just gotten his corn planting under way when Monday's rain broke up the combination. He says that the 40 acres of wheat still standing has shown great improvement in past ten days, that timothy Is looking fine, and that, on the whole, the rain has been of great benefit to oats and all grasses, but that a few sunny days are row in order. Mr. Eliason is on the Wool Pool committee which meets at the court house on Saturday night and believes that the pool will be put

over. Arthur Curme is also a member of the Wool Pool committee and it is his idea that the Wayne county wool pool will be formed. If so. all the wool will probably be brought to Richmond, rut into a warehouse and buyers notified where it may be inspected, and on what day it is to be sold. Harry Gilbert's Views. According to Harry Gilbert, who Is in close touch with Wayne county farmers, and who is considerable of a farmer himself, these "too frequent rains have gotten on the nerves of

many farmers, who are growing anxious as to their corn planting. They are getting blue over this delay, for corn planting is about a month late right now." By way of comparison, Mr. Gilbert states that: "Last year I had 25 acres of corn in on April 27, had the last of 90 acres in on May 5, at which time the earliest planted was cultivated for the first time. It Is surprising how wheat has developed of late. Looks like a good half-crop, at least and may run better. But our greatest trouble is lack of pasturage, though that is coming along now. I have between 400 and 500 head of hogs on feed at a big expense, which should have been on grass before this." Has Lost Many Pigs. Mr. Gilbert has had bad luck with his young pigs, having lot fifty head In two nights this week, owing to the rain. "The soaked beds drove the sows out into the rain, the piglets followed and were chilled," is his explanation of the loss of these farowings in the "A" hog houses scattered about the place. As to his wheat and corn Mr. Gilbert states that he has a 21acre piece of wheat which looks as good as any wheat he ever raised, and 25 acres which may make a half crop. Of the 40 acres of corn already planted some is showing, and he has 50 acres more to plant, for which the ground Is ready.

FARM NOTES The fellow who painted the barn down on the old farm last Spring must have been the same chap who has the reputation of painting the town red. As a barn painter. he makes a fine third party in a matrimonial tangle.

If the ducks keep following Louise around when she does her Spring sowing and gobble up all the seeds as quickly as she plants them, she will be able to harvest her fall crop in a thimble.

Seems like the landlord enjoys his job of visiting his fair tenants to collect on the old mortgage. Ah, there, Jimmy funny how a pretty face can make ' a cruel landlord change his mind.

If all the farmers in those parts could get a dog like "Teddy," the canine with the human brain, they wouldn't be worried much about hired men and extra hands. Teddy is the only breathing soul that can make a cow do what it doesn't want to do.

Incidentally, Teddy knows how to take care of youngsters, so all you nurse-girls better look out or your jobs will be taken by bright dogs who only want a bone and a warm place to sleep, with no days off at all.

Things ain't like they used to be, "Down on the Farm," since Louise has become popular with the fellows. She's got the whole town sort of upset over a mysterious letter and a photograph of a handsome stranger. Watch your step, Louise, say we.

Never did believe that love's young dream runs smooth, but we didn't figure that the road was quite as rough as it appears in Mack Sennett's big new fivereel sensational comedy, "Down on the Farm."

Life on a farm may be a lovely thing for them that likes it, but we would rather be sitting in one of the comfortable chairs in the Washington theatre, laughing at the folks on the screen, than be like the folks on the screen that are being laughed at.

The simple life may be lovely and nature may be grand, but before you buy that little old farm and settle down to the peace and quiet and comfort you hear so much about, better give farm life the "once over" at Washington theatre next week.

Mack Sennett's comedy "Down on the Farm" will make you laugh till your sides ache we don't know that it will make you want to buy a farm. Try it and see. -
