The Farm By WILLIAM The five-acre corn contest in Morgan county Was won by H. F. McClellafl, of Monroe township, with a recgrd of 102.2 bushels to the acre. His close fcecond is O. R. Lambert, of Adams township, with 101.03 bushels, while Allan Bryant, of Gregg township, scores third with 97.3. The interesting point to Wayne farmers is this: McClellan planted his corn 3x4 by 3x4. . Lambert : planted 3x6 by 3x4, while Bryant, the low man, planted 3x6 by 3x6. It will be seen that this gave McClellan a chance to gain a little yield, by raising a few more stalks to the acre. A report from Brazil is to the effect that the heavy rain on last Monday j crone ine longest drought in twenty years, in that section. The farm federation 1 of Elkhart county, has just completed organization, with a membership of more than 600. C. S. Masterson, of Greenfield, has given the entire fall to the work, in the pay of the state federation. He had some lively local help, of course. Corn Crib and Wood Pile. The .farmer with a wood lot and plenty of corn is assured of a warm fireside, if the worst comes in winter weather: Should com decline in the prairie states to a slightly lower level on farm values, the coal men will have competition in fuel, according to a western editor. Anent this comment is the following from the Chicago Tribune: "The senate committee on reconstruction and production in a preliminary report today declared that coal profiteering "nas become a national disgrace, especially since the issuance of coal priority orders by the interstate commerce commission This relates, of course, to the nroduction f c1 arid not to its retail distribution. From the action taken by fair price officers in several states including Indiana, it would be absurd to lay all the blame on the mine owners, all the time. During the scarcity and clamor for coal, both coal brokers and retailers were often responsible for excessive prices. Coal production is now very heavy, and with the forced decline in manufactur ing, and a falling demand for steam coal, we may reasonably expect cheaper coal as the winter progresses. May Wheat Again Traded In. For the first time since the government barred trading in wheat options en all boards of trade. May wheat was ouoted in Chicago, Wednesday. The first trade was made at $1.60 per bushel. From this figure it made a rapid decline to $1.51 and closed at $1.53. This was almost 6 cents under March delivery, while in normal circumstances the May option would have had a carrying charge premium. Both grain and live stock sold off on Wednesday. This was owing to the final crop estimate showing extraordinary production, as printed Wednesday. Idaho Growers' Unite. Idaho wheat growers have formed a marketing association, in which the members agree to turn over their wheat crops to the association for . . . " ,"",;.:" their 1920 crops, still unsold, unless these crops are now contracted for. The Idaho association men are planning to "feed" the market as conditions warrant, and to sell to millers and exporters direct, and possibly direct to foreign buyers, both here and abroad, should it prove profitable to do so. The charter provides for a non-profit, co-operative association. Lowest of Year After three days of sharp declines and within 10 days of Christmas, cattle fell to the low of the year at Chicago on Wednesday. The best cattle on offer brought but $12 .50, with only a few selling above $11. Here then we have a top on hogs of $9.20, against $12.50 for prime steers. Cattle still are coming forward in large numIbers. over 51,000 being received, duri ing the first three days of this week, against 137.000 hogs, All this of course is of small comfort to the farmers who have had to feed high priced stuff so long. This medicine has come in large and bitter doses of late: but this seems to be the common lot in a hundred lines, Bee Industry Seeks To Retain Business (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 16. The bee industry in Indiana made great gains during the sugar shortage, many peo- , r,e f.ompelled to turn to the consump-! j Hon of no wno had refrained from j doi , fa t . , today at the opening of the two-day convention of the Indiana State Bee keepers' association. With the falling price of sugar, the beekeepers were expected to devote some attention to plans for retaining the volume of business which it was i said came with the shortage. Many questions relating strictly to the bee industry were on the program for dis- j cussion.

and Farmer

R. SANBORN since the great "shrink" set fn. The farmers, through their various organizations, are working to a common end, so far as light develops on the best plan of action. Many Remedies Out of all the ruck and mass of opinions and remedies proposed, much that is good may finally be developed. Speaking generally, much has already been accomplished and the farmer is now in the limelight, at Washington and in numerous state legislatures The members of congress are considering bis needs, the federal reserve banks have him under consideration, and all the machinery of co-operation in every agricultural channel is working for his benefit. International Conditions In the meanwhile we are confronting world conditions unlike any within human experience. These conditions j are more involved, more Interlocking ana are world-broad in scope. In the most favorable circumstances it will be a question of time until the problems confronting us will be solved, and perhaps of a long time, at that. In the meanwhile the market has continued to work lower from week to week, with increasing speed. The readjustment has been too sudden. It has not been an orderly process as was hoped for, and as would have been much better for the nation. BOSTON BRAVES TO.

The team will practice on the Texas League j rieia at waives ton until a week or ten I days before the National league sea-! son starts. The barnstorming tour of recent years has been abandoned and only a few exhibition games, possibly with the New York Yankees, will be played. The Braves have trained at Columbus, Ga., for the past two years. Three hundred and forty-three death sentences were carried out in the British army during the war. Of these 266 were cases of desertion. CHIROPRACTORS G. C. WILCOXEN, D. C. C. H. GROCE, D. C. Phone 1603 35 S. 11th 8L
