In 18 market days in view of the soft I

epots during the upward climb. The receipts for the month up to June 26 fell nearly 40,000 below the same time a year ago, and for the year to date the receipts are 188,000 less than during first half of 1919; the total for 1920 being 1,280,000 up to last Saturday.

The general sales of good hogs on ,the last Saturday in June, 1919, was .at $21.65 and tho top $21.75, the highest price ever paid at Indianapolis up to that date. The best Bteers on the Saturday market at Indianapolis welched but little "over 1.000 pounds and sold at $15.50.' Old heifers sold up to $14 and single cows at $11. The best cattle ld $1 holler than a week ago sit the low, but the Average receipts sold but GO and 75 cents up. Chicago Live Stock. More of the better grades of cattle Bold above $17 at Chicago on Friday and Saturday than on any twodays since last January. Swift paid $17.15 for Ws best selections and Armour paid up to $17.25 for fancies, these figures being Friday's tops in the cattle pens. ; Friday's top on hogs was $15.90 for light butchers, the day's average being $15.10. - Receipts of hogs at Chicago were the heaviest in four months last Monday, when 48,000 came in. In spite of the fact hogs advanced 15 to 25 cents, making-a top of $15.70. On Thursday the high was $16.05 but a break lowered prices 20 cents on Friday. The Saturday rally put prices back, the top being $16.15 for light butchers. Grain Movement and Prices. Nearly 15,000,000 bushels of grain were received at western primary markets last week, this being 16 per cent more than in the same week last year. It is claimed by the railroads that tho total loadings of all western freight was from 5 to 25 per cent greater last week than for the same week in 1919, the Burlington making the largest gain. Spring wheat has declined heavily, and winter wheats are' off 7 cents for top and 15 cents for low grades within the month. Cash corn broke about 12 cents per bushel In Chicago last week. Farmers are now said to be willing to sell corn at current prices and the offerings are more liberal In the corn states.

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

William Harris of Webster township is of the opinion that no wheat is likely to be cut in Webster until after July 4th. He added that "some fields do not look to be hardly worth cutting, while others look like a fair crop." Howard Harter of Williamsburg says his wheat will not be fit to cut for a week or more and that it isn't very good, anyway. Says, however, that he has 80 acres of corn, in two fields, that is looking first class, Taylor and Jones sold 47 hogs, of 180 pounds average at $16 delivered in Richmond, on Monday morning Walter Pills was the buyer. Mr. Pille says that the Stolle Packing company have killed over 8,000 hogs so far since January 1. Looks. Like 20 Bushels Charles Strader, living on the Cart Road, has 46 acres of wheat which "looks like 20 bushels," as he stated on Saturday. Mr. Strader says that his wheat. is filling well and has good long heads, but that he will only have about half as much straw as in 1919. He does not expect to cut wheat until some time after the Fourth. His 42 acres of corn is "looking fine." May Buy Wool Cliff Gard of Campbellstown is threatening to open up the Wool market o his own account. He was about the first buyer in this fiehl last season Walter Reid is said by his neigh

bors to have the? finest 40 acres of

sweet clover seen in this vicinity in years. Twenty acres have just been

cut and the 20 acres remaining for seed "stands fence high at this time."

Wright Loses 12 Pigs

W. C. Wright, living just west of Fountain City on the "Old Harris farm," reports the loss of 12 pigs from

the uso of "hog tonic" which is now

under tho ban. He also states that a

lot of his Utters from sows which had been fed the ixturme came scrubbv and did little good. Mr. Wright paid

$52.50 for a lot of the stuff, including an hog oiler. Just before the facts re

lating to dead and sick hogs were published, which he says he "regrets doing."

Farm Federation j

The Indiana Federation of Farmers Association is closer to the 100 per cent goal than was anticipated for this early In the summer. H. C. Reid, state organizer, has completed arrange, ments wrth farmers In Jasper, Owen and Dubois counties to put on membership drives to perfect county associations which .will become affiliated with the parent body. The addition of Jasper, Owen and Dubois counties will bring the total number of organized counties up to 89, leaving only three in Indiana not members of the State Federation. They are Brown County, in the Eighth district; Elkhart county, in the Second district, and Perry county In the Ninth district. The membership drive In Owen county Is to open Aug. 16, and the drive in Dubois county. Is to start at the same time. Owen county is in the Seventh district of the Federation and will make that district 100 per cent organized. The addition of Jasper county will make the Third district "over the top." The membership drive In this county Is to open Sept. 13.

CORN BETTER THAN USUAL, SAYS BRYANT;

WEATHER FAVORABLE

Plant Ky. Wonders

If you failed to plant Kentucky Wonder beans with your sweet corn, do it now, no matter how far advanced your corn. Dig a small Hole beside the hill of corn with a trowel and drop In two or three beans. The cornstalk will make an ideal beanpole and the beans are very prolific. Roses and other bushy plants may be layered now. Bend the branches to the ground and cover them two or three Inches deep with soil. If the wood is hard as "is often the case of roses, notch It with a sharp knife. Ant hills may be eliminated by punching holes in them and placing cotton, which has been wet with carbon bisulphide, in them. The fumes of this material penetrate the hills and kill the ants. Keep the material away from an open flame as it is very explosive.

The weekly crop report of George C. Bryant, field agent of the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana, is as" follows:' The week has been favorable to all

farm work and crops have made satis

factory progress.

The stand of corn Is better than

usual. The season is somewhat back

ward and growth is hardly what it

should be at this time, but a good root system has been developed and with warmer weather the plants will come out all right. Weather conditions have been very favorable to winter wheat. It has ripened normally and cutting has commenced. Threshing will start in the extreme south about July 1. Some reports of Hessian fly damage In spring wheat Weather conditions during the week were exceptionally favorable to the oats, and generally are In splendid condition, except that they are heading out on rather short straw. Barley generally is good, but in a few localities it is heading out very uneven and the straw is. short. Rye Ripening Normally. Rye is ripening normally. Cutting is progressing satisfactorily and good yields are looked for. Early potatoes doing fairly well,

A much larger acreage -rf -btrrtey-ls betng set, but the acreage of the dark and cigar types will probably be reduced. Present indications point to a bumper-yield of peaches and fair to

THE average American is fairminded. He prefers to pay his way and ask no favors. People have no objection to paying the right price for a commodity once they know what the right price is. The right price for gasoline is based first, on the cost of crude oil; second, on the cost of refining; and third, on the cost of distributing the refined product. During the war prices were fixed by Governmental demand rather than by natural law. The very low prices obtaining in 1915 were due to two causes first to ultraconservatism due to uncertainty; second, to the spectacular production of oil in the Cushing fields, a production which dwindled almost as magically as it increased. Since the Armistice the cost of every item entering into the production, refining and distribution of petroleum products has increased to an unprecedented degree. The production of crude petroleum has not kept pace with the demand. This has caused fierce competition for such crude oil as is obtainable. This competition has forced the price of crude up until it is costing the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), f . o. b. Whiting, $4.30 a barrel, as against $2.92 on Nov. 11, 1918 an increase of 47 percent. Yet in the same period gasoline advanced in price but 24 percent Only thjough the efficiency of large scale refinery practice and through advanced scientific processes of extracting an ever increasing percentage of gasoline from the crude oil, has the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) been able to hold gasoline prices down to present levels, and still yield a fair return to its 4799 stockholders. It is generally conceded in the petroleum industry that the Standard Oil, Company (Indiana) is operating on the closest margin possible. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.

All the claims of what Dreco has done and will do are based on the very best evidence the signed statements of scores of men and women, who tell how they have been restired to health and joy of living by lt3 power. Sufferers not only from stomach trouble, but also those who haveexperienced the miseries of asthma, catarrh, rheumatism, kidney disorders.) constipation, and blood ailments, have come forward to tell of their exper

right over my kidneys. It also got my, liver to acting, and put a stop to spota dancing before my eyes; giddy feeling, bad taste in my mouth, and that drowsy, lazy no-occount feeling and,
