JUST GET READY TO HOLD WHEAT, FARMERS' ONLY SOLUTION TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Senator Capper, of Kansas, is pessimistic as to the early movement of jnew crop wheat, not only in Kansas, but anywhere. He says that his state still holds 25,000,000 bushels of old wheat, "which could not all be moved in 60 days, by loading 480 cars per day." In the meanwhile there will presently be more than 100,000.000 bushels of new Kansas wheat seeking both cars and storage facilities. When we consider that there are still more than 45,000,000 of 1919 wheat on the farms, and around 100,000,000 in elevators "in sight," the early marketing and shipping of -the new crop presents an almost impossible problem. The movement of the Southwest has already begun. Kansas City began receiving new wheat last week, running about 25 cars per day so far. Much of the southern wheat will find an outlet at Gulf ports, and a little of the wheat grown along the Mississippi will go to New Orleans in barges, but the great bulk of the barvest will seek terminal markets in the north and east. Ohio to Hold Wheat. The Ohio farm bureaus, realizing the frravity of the car situation, are preparing to hold from 75 to 85 per cent of their wheat crop. The secretary of the state bureau federation states that they "will do this if cars are unobtainable," as is feared. The banks have been consulted and replies received show that hundreds of local banks "are in" on this and are arranging to finance the farmers pending sale of the grain to be stored. An Eastern' Editor's Views. The New York Times Bays: "Food must become cheaper because of unexpected abundance, both in Canada and the United States. The world's price could hardly stand up under tho enlarged supplies, and a hundred million hungry foreigners would be fed, if the foodstuffs could be moved to them. But the abundant supplies are a mockery, alike to them and to the farmers here, who are hungry for profits out of reach because of im-

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. 8ANBORN

Suburban

According to Charles Carpenter's records, the first load of 1919 wheat to arrive in Richmond was received at the mill on July 5th, and came from a threshing rig near Centerville. The seller, Robert Boval. got $2.12 per bushel. He said he had hauled it here "because the Centerville elevator was not ready to take In wheat." The mill records show that wheat came In four days earlier last year than in 1918, when the first load was weighed in on July 9. There is a feeling among Wayne farmers that those unable to market before the elevators are fUJed up, will do well to prepare to hold their wheat. The transportation problem is paramount. There is no telling to what extent the mills and elevators will be supplied with cars and the feeling is that there will be more wheat than cars for a long time to come. The price on oats still remains high, relatively, and these will be the next to seek an outlet, although the pressure to market oats will not be great, as these can be largely fed and sold at home. Hopes Farmers Will Hold.

Goodrich Brothers, of Winchester,

have been quoting prices for grain to country elevators in this district, and

will provide an wholesale outlet, as far

their capacity and inflow of cars will permit. Their opening price on new

wheat, quoted last week, was $2.66 to

elevator men, the price to farmers being proportionately lower to permit a profit to the handlers at country points. The Goodrich idea Is that every farmer able to hold wheat should do so, both for his own and the public good, "and we hope to see this done, because of railway congestion and absolute shortage of cars." Township Federation Meetings Three township federation meetings fire announced for this week. The Webster meeting will be held on Thursday evening, as will that of Center township. The latter will be held at the town hall at Centerville. The Washington township meeting will be held at Milton on Friday night. Much business of importance is scheduled to come up and all farmsrs are invited. Grain Dealers at Muncie. The Indiana Grain Dealers' association went into session at a called meeting at Muncie on Wednesday afternoon. Matters of interest in connection with the opening of tho speculative wheat markets on Thursday, and others of importance with re

lation to the handling of the

possibility of moving their crops to market." After stating that our wheat crop, including our old grain reserve, will total 856,000,00 bushels, and that we shall grow 11,000,000 more bushels of rice than ever before, the editor says: "These figures are like water in tha sight of Tantalus. To farmers, sorrow's crown of sorrow is memory of the times when their railway rates were higher, and there was a car suit-

ply to match the crops. Troubles of the Railways. The public is aware of what has been going on in railway circles; of the efforts made to move tonnage, tho heaviest in our history. We all know of the strikes, of congestion of millions of tons of freight in the great terminals; of the shortage of all kinds of rolling stock, including engines, and of the crying need for the distribution of every class of material and commodity. The Btrikes of dockmen at the seacoast has prevented the export of millions of bushels of grain and other foodstuffs. The business of transportation has been tied in knots from various causes while the struggle on the part of the roads to move freight persisted, and still persists. In spite of all obstacles more tonnage has been moved in the past 90 days than during the same period a year ago, on all the great trunk lines, but seemingly there is a vastly greater tonnage to move. What 8hould Farmers Do? The peak load on this crop will come along in September. The pressure will come from farm, factory, steel plants, coal mines, etc. That conditions will greatly Improve is not to be anticipated. The marketing of wheat is likely to be a slow and unsatisfactory process, at best. There will be a shortage of grain cars at country points during the rush season. Undoubtedly so. But how great the shortage remains to be discovered. In the meantime what Is the grain farmer to do? It would eeem the part of wisdom to prepare to store wheat, to hold and care for It at home or locally, because manv will find it hard to move. That

the banks in the Richmond radius will lend a hand In this direction can soarcelv be Questioned. Should the

movement of Erain be broader than

I row seems possible; so much the bet

ter. At the best the situation promises to be serious for the man who

'must" sell early, or at once. Those

who are better prepared to store and

wait will help a lot by not forcing their wheat or oats on the market,

"until a more convenient season.

A Giant Cherry Tree There is a cherry tree on a farm near Wapakoneta, that is known as "Ohio's great pie tree," and is supposed to be the largest cherry tree in the state. It stands 50 feet high, has a trunk 30 inches in diameter, and has been producing cherries for 56 years. No one remembers when it failed to produce a crop, and for many years its smallest yield has been 15 bushels.
