'lirrrvio linn nmnro - wccivo nuu TMUCO HIT BOTTOM MARK; GRAIN DISCOURAGING By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The general average price of hogs on Saturday, at $9.97, although the highest from Monday on, was $1.65 lower than the price paid on Saturday, November 20, at Chicago. The bulk of sales were made at $9.85 to $10.15. and the extreme top on a few loads was $10.25. The average price on the week was $10.15, and this against an average of $12.20 for the preceding week, showing an actual net loss to shippers of $2.05 per hundred weight, by comparison. But average weekly prices are of little comfort to the shippers who unloaded on the low spots, nor are.they of great interest to the men who gathered the top dollars. But the week's average figures best show the trend, regardless. It tells just what the raw stock costs the packers, in their coolers. Cattle ruled dull on Saturday, showing a loss of $1 from the high time of the week, but at that made a gain of 35 cents on the weekly average, at $11.60. Good to choice steers sold at from $13 to $16.25, just a few at the top figure. Primes were quoted a shade higher. Lowest Hogs in 4 Years. But note this fact, you who are bears on hogs. Last week's average at $10.15 was the lowest since December, 1916. That is a fact worth chewing over, isn't it? Indianapolis Hogs Higher. Hogs which sold at $11.60 to $11.85 at Indianapolis on Nov. 20, fell to $10 and $10.25 last Friday, but jumped to $10.55 on Saturday. While light hogs which had struck $11.50 for top one week ago, and had fallen to $10.00 on Friday, sold straieht through t Jin so last Saturday, a gain m the day of ou cents, mis snowing a loss on the week of $1, after the advance. Indianapolis has led Chicago for some time and has made a better daily and weekly average price on all receipts of hogs. Lambs also advanced at Indianapolis, in some instances as much as 50 cents, compared with Friday's market. Grain Markets. The shorts in wheat ran prices up 6 cents on Saturday, from the low, on December, which struck $1.594, from which point it broke 4 cents and closed at $1.5314. March closed . at $1.5114. In the meantimo No. 1 red cash wheat sold up to $1.SS and No. 2 red at $1.80. But the situation is not encouraging. London reported Canadian flour offered one dollar a barrel under American. Fort William, Canada, loaded 3.000.000 i bushels of wheat within the past 10 aays, most of it to come to this country by steamer, and to arrive before the close of navigation. Just how much of this grain will actually stay in this ! country is unknown, but certainly a lot ot it is for American millers. Country Banks Complain. Corn belt rural banks are complaining that farmers are refusing to sell their crops to liquidate their notes. This is notably true in the northwest. But even so, the carrying of this grain by the growers is less of a strain on the Federal Reserve banks than it would prove, should the grain reach the market centers. At Chicago, for example, the big houses can borrow 90 per cent of thp market price on grain, while we all know that the farmer borrows but a fraction of that amount; besides the farmer gives all I he owns as security, while a speculator and elevator man simply issue warehouse receipts against the grain j itself, he agreeing to keep his loans j on a 90 per cent parity, from day-to day, winch, in its final analysis, is simply keeping his "margins" good at his bank, when ever "called." Admittedly, his elevator is an asset, if he happens to own one, but the "public" elevators are owned by corporations, which have nothing to do with such grain loans. They simply isrue warehouse receipts to owners of the grain, which then become negotiable instruments and are a "demand call" on the grain, after storage charges are paid. ERTQLINI, ITALIAN STATESMAN, IS DEAD (Hy Associated Prossl ROME, Nov. 29. Istro Bertolini, Italian member of the allied reparations commission, died late yesterday on bpard a train on which hp was coming to this city from Paris. Stenor Bertolini entered public life in 1894 when he became under secretary of state in the ministry of finance. In November, 1907 he became minister of public works in the GioMtti cabinet, and about a year later was called upon to face the conditions which fol lowed the great Messina disaster. In 1912 he was an unofficial negotiator with Turkish delegates, who were striving to reach a solution of the Turko-Italian controversy. He was a member of the chamber of deputies, but in the election of November, 1919. be was defeated for re-election. He was named a senator early in October of this year. Slgnor Bertolini took a prominent part in the work of restoring peaceful relations with Austria, and was one of the leading Italian statesmen participitating in the Adriatic problem, which was recently settled by the treaty of Rapallo. 15 to 25 Per Cent Off on Children's Clothing THE WHEN STORE 712 Main St. Light Weight Felt Hats for men, priced $4.00 to $fi.00 LICHTENFELS 1010 Main St. WHEN YOU THINK OF DRUGS it will pay you to think of the

The Farm By WILLIAM The number of new members added to the federation forces during the recent township drives has not yet teen ascertained. Some of the townships have not yet "mopped-up" and others have but recently well begun the canvass. Taken as a whole little objection has been made to the $5 membership fee, it being realized that both the township and county needs some money for the securing of speakers and for other incidentals, aside from the $2 per member that must be sent to state headquarters at Indianapolis. We repeat our invitation that you write us with reference to your views on the "merger." While we do not know what will finally be done it is a fact that plans are being made to merge all the farm bodies in Indiana into one strong and effective body, ad to include the Grange, the Farm Federation and the Farmers' Grain Dealers' association in the organization. We shall be glad to learn your views and to print your letters, and would like to hear from as many of you as possible. More About Imported Butter. George M. Wilber. chief of the executive committee of the Ohio Wool Growers' association, says that an important drop in the prices of milk and butter is now due. In his talk before the Omaha Chamber of Commerce he said that Danish butter would soon be coming in at the rate of 500.000 pounds monthly, and that $50,000,000 worth of I canned milk is stored in New York, for lack of export demand; this causing the closing of condensing plants in all parts of the country. In our brief review on Saturday we cited the low prices at which Danish butter was offered in New York, and showed that our butter makers are now in competition with Denmark, Holland, Argentine and New Zealand. Denmark and Holland are both large exporters of butter, the British being their best customers. Will Sell Fair Grounds. The fact that for six years the fairs held at Goshen have failed to pay out will result in the sale of the fairgrounds at auction on November 30. The tract of fifty acres and improvements has been appraised at $150,000 and a new organization has been formed to take over the property, if sufficient money can be raised to swing the deal. The original fair at Goshen was established in 1851, but was abandoned in 1893, to be revived again in 1908. Will Pool Their Wheat. The farmers of Alberta, Canada, are forumlating a plan to pool all wheat grown on S, 500. 000 acres, about half the Canadian wheat area, and to control distribution and prices for 1921 crop. Contract holders will bind themselves to sell wheat only through the pool for five years Farm Loan Act Decision A supreme court decision over the validity of the various features of 'the farm loan act is expected on December 6 All who are interested in the farm loan credit situation are awaiting the decision with tense eagerness, as much depends on the stand taken by the court. An adverse decision will necessitate emergency legislation to validate about J330.000.000 in outstanding bonds. To Kill Lice on Cattle Cattle lice cause a reduction In the milk of dairy cows and because of their irritation reduce the rate of gain in beef cattle. Just now Purdue is receiving many reports of cattle lice, and the university is sending out literature on request telling the best means to abolish this pest. Prof. J. J. Davis will advise all who write him Automotive Association To Enjoy Chicken Supper A large number of members and associate members of the Wayne County Automotive association are to meet for an important session, at the First Christian church, Monday night A chicken supper will precede the business.

ft. 8ANQORN at Lafayette. Prof. Davis Fays that "dusting with proprietary powders which contain napthalene and pyretbrum will kill the insects, and should be used in cold weather, when spraying or dipping is not advisable." The effectiveness of these powders depends on the amount of napthalene or pyretbrum contained. These powders are sold under various "names by different makers. All the animals in the herd should be treated at the same time, and the stables be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Large Potato Crop R. H. Wood, of Jefferson county, raised 343 bushels of potatoes to the acre last summer. Mr. Wood has been! in the habit of fertilizing his Dot at o land with cottonseed meal, but this ! year decided that tankage would sup-! ply the nitrogen at less money andi produce equally good results. He is an experienced potato grower, but this year made a new high record per acre. The soil was first fertilized broadcast with 640 pounds, 16 per cent acid phosphate, per acre. Later a little phosphate was added to the tankage and drilled in the rows at the rate of 300 pounds per acre. This seems quite an expensive proposition at the start, but the harvest justified the outlay. At the meeting of the board of directors of the Wayne farm federation, at the office of the county agent, Saturday afternoon, an executive committee was appointed to handle such business as may come up, and not of sufficient importance to demand action by the full board. President Davis and Arthur L. Cunne, treasurer, were appointed to act as the executive committee, and J. L. Dolan, county agent, is to co-operate with them. It was the sense of the meeting that inasmuch as many of the township presidents, forming the directory, had long drives to make to attend the various business meetings, and often, too, at an inconvenience and loss of time, it was only fair that some sort of a mileage allowance should be made. SECRETARY MEREDITH TO VISIT STOCK SHOW Secretary of Agriculture Meredith will be a visitor at the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago the first week of December. The Governors of a dozen livestock-raising states will also be on the grounds. A score of annual meetings of live stock breeders and other associations will be held during the week. Chicago in recent years has become the Mecca of the organized horse, cattle, swine and sheep interests at this period. Pedigreed livestock valued at over $1,000,000 will be sold during the Exposition week. Contributions to these sales will come from all over the United States and the British Islands, giving the commercial phase of the exposition a pronounced international character. Nothing will be more calculated to arouse interest than the grain and hay display. This year every important section of the United States and Canada will be represented. The showwill not only be an inspiration to grain and grass growers, but will afford a demonstration of the productive capacity of the various sections represented. The women will have abundant entertainment and instruction in the well equipped Domestic Science Department. Last year's scope of this branch of the exposition has been increased and every phas- of this interesting and essential science will be embraced.
