GRAIN BREAKS UNDER DISTURBING MARKETS
' (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. 111.. July 26. Several breaks in the grain and provisions markets today accompanied disturbing financial and Industrial developments, especially reports of the closing down of a large motor enterprise on account of inability to sell its products. Wheat dropped as much as eight cents a bushel, corn 9 cents. Extreme declines in wheat amounted eight bushels at $2.51 for March delivery. Pork fell $2 a barrel and lard more than $1 a cwt Farm Federation In order to correct any mistaken impression which may have arisen in this state concerning the so-called "Farmer-Labor" third party, officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations and state organization workers are calling attention to the fact that the federation has no connection with any such movement. It has been pointed out that not only the state federation, but the national organization to which the Indiana farmers are affiliated the American Farm Bureau federation Is headed by the most conservative leaders who are firm for backing up their set platform as adopted at their first annual convention which set out principles In direct contrast to many of those advocated at this time by this new party County, state and nationally, the slogan of the farmers has ben o keep the association out of "politics." Again, numerous county associations in this state, as well as tho parent body In Indianapolis, and the American Farm Bureau federation have gone on record as agaJnst any tendency toward radicalism and have frowned repeatedly upon Euch doctrines as governmental ownership of railroads and public utilities. H. C. Reid, field man and state or ganlzer, has contracted with a large number of county associations to conduct membership drives during the summer and early fall. He hopes to increase the number of drives to at least 40 counties before the completion of his tour of the state. Confidence is expressed by state officers that the finish of these membership drives before the second annual convention to be held in November, will see the Indiana federation the strongest in the way of membership of any farmers' organization in the middle west. The goal is for 150,000 members by November. Iowa now leads with ap proximately 118,000 members, with Illinois second. The dates of the opening membership drives under the new uniform plan, together with the counties which have contracted, follow: August 16 Hamilton, Jefferson, Putman, Owen. Clay, Dubois, Lawrence, Allen and Cass counties. August 23 Washington county. September 6 Jennings county. September 13 Dearborn, Tipton, Jasper and Bartholomew counties. October 4 Adams county. October 16 Steuben county. Octoble 23 Noble county. Wheat Still Embargoed For All Eastern Points Embargoes on wheat for eastern shipment are still in force, either through Cincinnati, Columbus or Pittsburgh, over the Penn6y. In fact, all the wheat moving "may be said to be moving only on "Permits to ship," and these are only Issued "by authority." Wnvno and ndioinine countv elevatthe grain is ready to load and a report of destination. The wheat crop has just begun to move and from our inquiries we learn that practically all elevators have been able to move a car or more, and that all still have room for the daily receipts.
