The rarm ana the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

v . J Andrew Kerber, of Milton, was the only man present at the last Friday night meeting to report a shipment of pooled wool from Washington township. His fleeces weighed better than 600 pounds. While not a great many

sheep are fed in Washington, there is still some wool on the farms, in small lots. And now the threshing rigs will get into action. Before the week-end there will be crews at work In every township In the county, also In a majority of the northern counties of the state, work having begun in the southern tier last week. It is also now close to the heart of the timothy harvest. Much timothy has alreedy been cut and the seed crop comes next. Following this falls the oat harvest and some of these will be cut this week, although the bulk of the harvest will come in the last week of July. It appears that Wayne threshers are now supplied with coal, thanks mostly to farm elevators and their early action. Not all the country has been

so fortunate, for Kansas complain that they are still short hundreds of cars.

EXPERT URGES NORMAL WHEAT ACREAGE AND USE OF FERTILIZER

LAFAYETTE Ind., July 19. Despite the partial failure of the Indiana wheat crop tMs year, it will be unwise on the part of farmers not to fiow a normal wheat acreage tMs fall, according to a statement by Prof. G. I. Christie, director of experimental and extension work -S- Purdue University. "Indiana Is one of the recognized winter wheat states. It would seem desirable, therefore, that since the crop

is reasonably succesful and profitable, farmers should plant, this year, a normal acreage. This rotation of crops

should be maintained and every effort should be made to secure a clover crop, which will aid in supplying needed nitrogen and humus to the soil," said Prof. Christie. "The shortage of labor should also be considered in planning the crop system. The wheat crop can be sown in the fall and thus reduce the acreage to be prepared and planted in the spring. In this way, the labor Is distributed throughout the year. "Hundreds of tests and demonstrations with the use of fertilizer on wheat have shown that an application of fertilizer Insures a good stand and aids the crop in withstanding the winter. The evidence on this point is so clear and marked that Indiana farmers are urged to carefully consider the use of fertilizer this fall.

"For the reason that transportation service has been impaired, orders for fertilizer should be placed at the earliest possible date. "The Hessian fly has caused a great Joss in the wheat crop tMs past year.

It la Impossible to offer any remedy

that will insure ahsolute freedom from attack by this pest. It is felt,

however, that late planting, so as to

avoid the insect, will do much to re

duce injury. In order to secure results from late planting, it is necessary that all farmers follow this practice. If a few farmers should plant their wheat late, while other farmers plant theirs early and allow it to become infested with the fly, then all

of the wheat is likely to be affected by

this spring brood. It is recommended that all communities in the state

agree to plant during the fly-free season.

WHEAT PIT OPENING HELPS GRAIN BEARS;

HOGS UP SATURDAY

By WILLIAM R. 8ANBORN To get a bird's-eye view of recent

transactions in the grain markets a

retrospective glance over the operations during the past two weeks will be illuminative. It has to do with the betterment of the corn and oats prospects; the struggle to provide cars for the new wheat, and the opening of the speculative wheat markets for the first time in nearly three years. The opening of the wheat pit has diverted trade Interest from corn; caused a feeling of uncertainty as to the stability of early prices on wheat, and has been a helpful factor to the bears, In all grains. Whether we have touched bottom for the time being is a problem having many factors entering Into Its solution. What Happened to Corn. Reviewing first the price ranges for

the week ending Saturday, July 10, we

find that in that week Julj; corn sold at from $1.64 down to $1.56, closing at $1.59 at the end of the week.

September corn sold between $163 and $1.64 and December at from $1.50 to $1.38 at the low. During the week ending last Saturday the low on July corn was $1.46, the high, $1.65H; on September the range was $1.47 to $1.62, and on December the low was $1.35 and the high, $1.47 hi. a break of more than 12 cents per bushel. The December price Indicates the feeling as to the outlook for the coming crop, and the

trend In corn values for the coming year. If the crop matures properly. Action In Wheat Pit. December wheat opened on last Thursday at $2.72 to $2.75. Prices receded right along until on Saturday, $2.51 per bushel was reached, a break of 24 cents. On Monday morning December wheat broke another 3 cents to $2.48,

right after opening at $2.51 to $2.52, and again reacted to a higher level. Corn opened a shade Mgher, as did oats, on Monday morning. Live StocK Markets. The Saturday live stock market at Indianapolis was active enough to advance hogs from 40 to 60 cents on the day, and lifted prices out of the low rut of the week. But even bo, good heavies sold at $15.00 to $15.50 against

a top of $16.25 on Monday. Mixed mediums sold at $16.25 to $16.40, with

in 20 cents of Monday's top; while lights touched $16.50. which was also the high on Monday last TMs was an even dollar above the low on Thursday, the low day of the week. Hogs advanced 10 to 20 cents at Chicago on Saturday, closing strong on receipts of but 6,000 head. The top at Chicago was $16.10 on light butchers, with heavyweights selling as low as $14.50 and as high as $15.80 for a few choice offerings.
