SEES A BIGGER CAR SUPPLY AS THE LAKES TAKE MORE SHIPPING

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept, 2. As results of advantageous lake freight rates now In effect on grain. President J. R. Howard, of the American Farm Bureau' federation, predicted here today a substantial measure of relief from the car shortage In the middle west greater ability of farmers to get grain

on market, tmprovea snipping irom a lumber ol lake ports, and slightly lower prices on grain In the east and for export than otherwise would havo been the case. J He said he thought there was sufficient shipping available to handle all grain the farmers ofered for lake transport. The differential on lake and rail shipments from Chicago to New Tory President Howard estimated, amounts to about two and one-fourth to two and three-fourths cents per bushel on wheat and corn and one-half to three fourths cents per bushel on oats, In favor of lake and' rail shipments over all rail shipments. The normal thing, he said, would be for the saving to be shared between producer and consumer. "The railroads at Chicago.". Mr. Howard said, "have secured for us a statement of exactly what the new rates will be from Buffalo to New York. They are as follows: Domestic Wheat, 21.17; rye, 21.29; oats, 20.63; barley, 21.08; corn, 21.29. Export Wheat, 20.17; rye, 19.59; oats. 19.63; barley, 20.08; corn, 19.73. "The domestic rates to Philadelphia and Baltimore will be the same. The export rates to Philadelphia and Baltimore will be one-half cent under the New York rate; the export rates to Boston will be the same as the New York rate. i Increased Shipping Hoped. "It Is hoped that these new rates will result In the Immediate resumption of increased Ike shipping and thus release thousand of freight cars needed in other places. "This should benefit not only many farmers who have not been able to get their grain to market and In some cases have not been able even to store it for lack of facilities, but It should benefit the country as a whole through measurably relieving the freight congestion. "The trouble as regards rail congestion and grain rates has laid in a great measure between Chicago and Buffalo. Employment of the lake for this section of the trip to the Atlantic seaboard should do much to clear up the difficulties. "These date back to the passage of the La-Follette bill half a dozen years ago requiring the railroads to dispose of their lake vessels. When the railroads parted with their lake business, they at once took mens to get It back. "The were largely able to accomplish this so far as grain was concerned, by charging a smaller rate between Chicgo and Buffalo than the water rate. This of course, drove shipments of grain off the lake and onto the railroad track, for no one would prefer to pay more to ship by water to Buffalo than by rail. "What the railroads lost by cutting the rate from Chicago to Buffalo for it was service at less than cost thoy mde up by boosting the rate from Buffalo to New York.

Chautauqua Life

V , Audiences are increasing each morning for the bible lectures by Dr. McComb and the domestic science lessons under the direction of Mrs. Houston. Dr. McComb says he teaches what the bread of life is, and Mrs. Houston follows him by teaching the way to make good bread. Dr. McComb lectures Thursday morning on "The Bible in Art and Literature." The previous lessons are reviewed briefly each morning so that anyone attending for the first time is well acquainted with what has been said at other lessons. Friday afternoon Mrs. Houston will give a special demonstration at 2:00

p. m., which will be of interest to men and women alike.

Five thousand persons again attended the Chautauqua Thursday. The audiences have been averaging about that number every day this week. Roy L. Smith, who lectures Wednesday afternoon, drew the largest afternoon audience of the season. "The Young Christian and His Community" a book just published, is written by Mr. Smith. It is a text book on social service for the Epworth Leagues of the Methodist church. In the October issue of "The Moving Picture Age" will appear the first of a series of six lectures to be given by Mr. Smith on the relation of the moving picture and the church and its use in the work of the church, Mr. Smith, who has appeared here .several times, and is a favorite, created a sensation several years ago, when he established in a church in the downtown district of Chicago, among thous

ands of young people attending

schools and colleges, novel methods which were so effective that the membership increased from a small number to over a thousand. He is an advocate of practical Christianity and has introduced into his pastorate measures which at first semed revolutionary, but which have

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

It is a mighty long time since we heard anything about $1 corn, but a telegram from Harlan, Iowa, to a Chicago grain firm announces that farmers there are contracting new com to the local elevators at $1 per bushel. Corn will be made in that section In two weeks, it is claimed. At the time the Harlan farmers were selling new corn at $1, May corn struck $1.15, December corn. $1.17, and September corn $1.38, at Chicago. Prime 1,441 pound steers sold as high as $17.75 on the last day of Aug

ust at Chicago. The average price of good beef cattle in that market for the month was $14.85, or just $1.60 lower than one year ago, when it stood at $16.45, the highest on record. The general average price on hogs on August 31 was $15, against $18 on the last of August in 1919. Farmer Pays the Freight. The advance in grain freight rates from interior points to western terminal markets, is from 3 to 5 cents per bushel and from Chicago to the

seaboard, 6 cents per bushel on wheat, 5 cents on corn and ZVz cents on oats. Some one must pay the additional rate, supposedly the farmer. At any rate he will receive proportionately less for his grain, regardless of market price change. By the same token the advance in freight rates will not cheapen bread to the fest or us. Contract and Open Market Coal. Country elevator men who have contracted for coal at much below' prevailing figures at the mines are a bit dubious about the time that coal will get in in the summer of 1921, mayhap. Walter Mathews of Centerville, says it will be mighty hard for the operators to get cars to ship coal bought around $5 per ton below present asking prices, while they will be able to dig them up for the man paying the most money. They got in a car of Indiana coal at Centerville on Wednesday, which they retailed- at $8.75, as agreed, and which was below the cost of the same coal at the mine this week. He says that he is quoted "Illinois mine run, which is mostly slack, at $7.50, at the mine." Have Coal at Three Points. The Milton Grain company report

that they have been pretty well able to supply their customers with coal at Milton, Beeson's Station and at Bentonville, to-date, and have some coal in the bins at these points today, but are running short. They have tried to buy in various fields to insure against the fall demand, but a number of letters just in say the operators have no coal to offer at any price. One West Virginia mine quoted coal at $9.80 at the mine, just 100 per cent

higher than last May's price, with a 40 per cent higher freight rate. The Milton folks are "looking for $1 corn on the new crop, perhaps a shade lower, indeed, providing the crop matures without Injury from fiysL" They were paying $2.30 for wheat and 55 cents for oats at their stations on Wednesday. Both Economy and Williamsburg have received a car. of anthracite within past few days. Coal Sells at $13 Ton. The Farmers' Co-operative elevator at Camden say they are not getting all the coal they can use right now, but have received at least a dozen cars in the past two or three weeks. This coal has been sold around $13 per ton. They have been unable to get anthracite and say that soft coal is hard to buy just now. Wheat is worth $2.40, corn, $1.35 and oats 60 cents, at Camden. John Hazlerigg, says that the grain around New Lisbon is about all marketed. He says that considerable clover is to be threshed In that section and that much of it promises fine seed. No price has yet been quoted cn it locally, that to depend on market conditions and quality on date of sale. Three cars of coal have recently been received at New Lisbon and Mr. Hazelrigg expects to be able to get all the coal needed during the fall, as he has managed to do for some time. Old corn is bringing $1.35 and oats 60 cents at New Lisbon.
