WHEAT 35 PER GENT SHORT; PORK IS 25, SAYS J. R. HOWARD
J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau federation at Chicago, estimated today that the wheat production of the nation would
be 35 percent below normal this year and that pork production in the mid
dle west would be 25 percent below grade. Wet weather, shortage of labor and lack of transportation facilities, are
the chief causes for this condition,
resident Howard said. Cotton is the only commodity which promises to hold Its own this year, ac
cording to the review of crops made
by the farm bureau chief. Every Important food crop, he said, would show a falling off from last year. It is too late now to do anything to remedy these conditions, he said. While efforts are now being made to pet men out on the farms, he did not think they would be of much benefit this year, as farmers had their plans laid. Help In handling this season's crops, however, with the prospect of getting sufficient labor next year, would encourage farmers to larger production next season, he observed. Wheat Good In Spots. In parts of Kansas, President Howard said wheat was very good, but outside of that he found nothing favorable In wheat to report. Great losses In hogs have resulted from the cold wet weather, he added. The number of brood sows any way, he said was less than normal. Wheat held on Kansas farms at the present time because of inability to get transportation. President Howard estimated amounted to $100,000,000 worth. v The farm bureau federation chief has just returned from an extended trip through the south and middle west.
The Farm and The Farmer By William B. 8anborn
!
J, C. Russell, living near Fountain j City, says that he has all his corn in, but that this is no sure sign that he Is a lucky man. It will depend on its growth, or If replanting will be in order. He has 21 acres of wheat that promises a fair crop, but that of the 65 acres sown to wheat on the Jackson farm on the Centerville-Milton pike last fall, he expects to harvest but 20 acres. Mr. Russell purchased the farm near Fountain City last fall. Corn was planted late in Wayne county last year, as most farmers well remember, but that didn't prevent a good crop. In the main. "We had plenty of rain last May," said J. W. Collins, living west of Richmond, "and all my early planted corn was washed out. Some farmers planted their fields the third time and then raised a crop. I got a good stand from my last planting, which was put in on May 28. No, my corn isn't in yet. except five acres, there being 60 acres yet to go in, but that doesn't worry me any there is still time to raise a crop of corn." Blue Grass Going to Seed. A farmer near Centerville said on Thursday that he had some blue grass cn his place that was already running to seed. This he thought was because of the fact that it was not pastured late last fall, and had a good growth before winter set in. He remarked too, that he had in 100 acres of wheat last spring and but 40 acres this year. Last year he had a lot of "jointed" wheat which was frozen on April 2Sth, tut this made as much of a crop as did the unfrozen fields, or 18 bushels to the acre. Of the 85 acres prepared for corn only 25 acres have yet been
Farm Federation
Some practical steps toward getting the live stock marketing problem on a better basis are being taken by the American Farm Bureau Federation, President J. R. Howard announced today at Chicago. He said that In part of Its plans the federation is projecting work not hitherto undertaken by the federal bureau of crop estimates. This new work is a uniform quarterly census of livestock in feeding which the federation has arranged with seven state farm bureau federations and their respective county farm bureaus to undertake. Probable dates of livestock marketing in ten day periods will also be reported. The states making this census will be Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas and Illinois. The first report will be made July 1, and quarterly thereafter. Figures on the actual acreage of the various crops put In will be included in the census. A number of states will take these surveys In cooperation with the federal bureau of crop estimates. Through the knowledge thus obtained. President Howard said that farmers would be better able to estimate receipts at the livestock markets. At present, he said, they ship to market more or less blindly. At any period when an abnormal situation is in sight, either of congestion or of shortage, a warning can be thrown out to livestock producers and they can govern themselves accordingly. This, said President Howard, should serve to protect the farmer and the consumer. The first meeting of the 12 regional executive directors of the national federation to take place since the annual convention will be held in Chicago June 2-4. At this time a program will be adopted for establishing all the departments authorized at the annual meeting.
planted, said he and "I am mighty anxious for a stretch of seasonable weather, the quicker the better." Farmers Marketing Wheat. One Richmond flour mill received 11 wagon loads of wheat before noon
on Thursday, also one truck load and two cars. One of these cars came from Economy, the other from Eldorado, Ohio. Charles Carpenter explained trat the wet weather was keeping men out of the fields and as the season is petting late they are bringing in their grain. He says, too, that there is a surprising amount of wheat back on the farms, mostly in small lots, however, ranging at say 200 to 500 bushels. This is in line with what country elevator men are claiming for Wayne and nearby counties. Chickens Pay Him Best. R. H. Minor, living on the Chester pike, says he has 400 chickens which have been laying 10 dozens of eggs daily for months, and that these chickens have made him more money than his 13 milch cows, from which he is selling whole milk, and that has been true all this year. He says: "There is no comparison as to labor. Cows have to be milked twice a day, consume a lot of feed and there Is the time spent and the gasoline burned and tires worn out in getting that milk to town every day. I am advertising my cows for saie. Chickens are the best investment."

Rush County Woman, 96, Never Rode in Automobile Or Interurban Car, Claim RUSHVILLE, Ind., May 21. To live in the twentieth century without riding in an automobile or street car, is an unusual thing, but with the death of Miss Sallie Ruby, at her home in northern Rush county Wednesday, it was learned, such a person had lived for 96 years. Miss Ruby was probaby the oldest born native citizen of Rush county, having been born 96 years ago. on the same farm on which she died, it being located Just east of Carthage. Miss Ruby was .not peculiar in her ways, but was a typical "home-body" and did not desire to do the things that were so modern. Even though she lived within a few miles from a traction line, 6he never rode on one, nor did she ever see one. Automobiles passed her home daily, and friends invited her to ride, but she never desired to ride. She lived almost a century, through several wars, and witnessed the rapid
growth of the country, with modern inventions and the like, but was never possessed with any desire to leave her home, and spent the 96 years in Rush county.
Rise in Milk Forecasted By Meeting of Producers; Farmers, Dairymen Join At a conference of milk producers
at the court house on Thursday evening, 70 farmers who sell whole milk to the city dairymen, discussed the cost of milk on the farm. The meeting was unanimous in agreement that the situation this year is abnormal. The claim was made that the high cost of bran and middlings, together with the shortage of pasture so late in the season, is making it unprofitable to produce milk at current prices, as paid by the distributors, either at the farm or delivered in town. Following the meeting of the producers the city dairymen joined the discussion. Farmers related what they considered milk is now costing them and insisted that they could not afford to market milk at ruling figures. The meeting lasted two full hours. It was a busy session, nearly every producer present taking part in the discussion. The city dairymen gave their side of the argument. They told why they had cut the wholesale price of milk on May 1, at the opening of the spring pasturage season, when in ordinary circumstances the cost of growing milk is lowered. It was the fact that milk prices had been lowered instead of raised to the farmers which brought them together for a general discussion. To Meet Next Wednesday Eve. The city distributors promised to think things over for a wek and agreed that they would meet with the farmers at the courthouse again on Wednesday evening. May 26. The chairman of the meeting stated that they "were not present to fix prices. What was wanted was a conference as to cost of milk production, to get the views and ideas of all present on this point, so as to be able
i to effectively show that wholesalers
are paying too little for milk and that farmers are losing money on the proposition. Some of the farmers thought
that an advance of 75 cents per 100 pounds would be about right; others
