The Farm By WILLIAM Walter Mathews, of the Centerville' elevator, says they are taking in a Jittle corni and have ben paying 65 cents for it. No one seems anxious co sell wheat or oats. And this summarizes the stories of numerous country elevators. Some of i them are, not even receiving corn. The central markets are in such shape that it is hard to tell what to offer for f countrT pomta- An advance likely as not to be followed by a break to much lowr levels tomorrow. " Shipped Cattle Back Home. The first case of the kind so far reported in years occurred at Sioux City, I Intra rn WftHYiAefiov UVmr- Inoda nf mlxed fat cattIe were brought in by 'two farmers living near Remsen, Iowa, and finding the prices bid too low to cult them, the farmers promptly reloaded and shipped the entire lot back home. "We still have plenty of feed, and our credit is good at the bank," said one of them, "and we don't propose to give our cattle away." Not all farmers are so independently fixed, or there would be much lighter live ttock receipts, not only at western Points, But also at Indianapolis For Emergency Tariffs, The movement for protective tariffs lo aid farmers is now well underway at Washington, but there is an overwhelming sentiment against embargoes on any agricultural product. Representative Green. Republican, from Iowa, - is sponsoring an emergency measure which provides a tariff of 15 cents per bushel on wheat, 10 cents cn corn and a sliding scale tariff on all clothing wools, beginning with 12 cents per pound on unwashed and tanging up to 36 cents on scoured wools. It also provides for duties on live' stock, no matter from what country shipped in. Farmer Addresses Rotarlans. John N. Dyer, of Vincenne?, who owns a farm in Knox county, addressed the Rotary Club of Indianapolis at the Claypool on Tuesday, his subject being the "Relation of Business to Agriculture." After stating that the "farmer has been playing a losing game," Mr. Myer said that the future permanent prosperity of the nation depends on whether the farmer receives "an equitable and just proportion of the wealth I he produces." He asserted that farmjers lost $5 an acre on wheat in 1919. and the loss per acre this year will be even greater. After taking a slap at the Chicago Board of Trade, he asserted that "there is an organized effort on the part of buyers of grain for foreign countries to hammer down the prices here, in order to be able to buy more cheaply for consumers across the sea." He also maintained that "All that MONEY TO LOAN 46 LOANS On Furniture. Pianos, Live Stock, Autos, Talking Machines, Etc.

PAGE NINETEEN

FARM SALE SEASON FOR FALL OF 1920 IS NOT PROFITABLE By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The farm sale season for 1920 hat about' drawn to a close. .. Compared with '1919, sellers have suffered from a falling market.' this growing worse af the fall advanced. Here and there I seller found some satisfaction in know lng that his wares had brought outside prices from appreciative bidders, aG circumstances considered. But in th main there was a marked hesitancy oa the part of buyers, and especially sc as to buyers of all classes of live stock; good mules being the possible exception. . This complaint does not refer te sales early in the year, nor up to harvest days. But the steady declines to grain, cattle, hogs and sheep, since the break set in, cuold have bad no other effect. These made the optimistic and erstwhile liberal buyer a conservative. Many who had been feed- ' lng large herds quit the business en tirely last spring and are mostly glad of it. These men formerly bought young stuff at all convenient sales. But many of , them quit cold, and instead of buying feed they sold the corn on hand the moment they felt that the new crop was assured, and at a time when corn was bringing 50 to 60 pei cent more at farm sales than can now be got at the country elevator. There will be very few sales during the coming, three or four weeks. It is expected, however,- that late in January, and from then on, until spring . farm work presses the ruralist. the auctioneers will get another opportunity to make a pot of money. G. W. Kesler Sale. G. W. Kesler, a farmer living 2 miles south of New Madison, sold bu farm to O. W. Schlecty recently, and is moving to Eldorado, giving the buy. er Immediate possession. Mr. Kesler had a clean-up sale on Thursday, at which a fail Crowd was in attendance Mr. Kesler was pretty well fixed for farming. His tool and implement outfit included a corn sheller, fanning mill, corn grinder, butchering outfit, tc, and Simon Weddle, the au tioneer, found a good day's work cut cut on arrival. There were 3 horses, 9 head of cattle, 11 sheep and 31 hogs listed. The sheep brought $8.25 each, the cows from $40 to $70 and the hogs sold according to weight. A bunch of fall pigs brought from $6 to $8. according to size, all weighing considerably un der 100 pounds. The three horses sold at $147 and $160, and the colt brought $70. About 800 bushels of corn was divided at an average of 68 cents- ollie oler eeting the bulk . , . . ,, , . . . r ll- Good mixed clover and timothy went at $15 per ton. H. B. Sell, of Eldorado, made the settlements and the total, in round numbers, was $2,500. The Ladies' Aid of the Yankeetown church, served a much appreciat- -ed lunch. REID-PIERCE SALE Nearly one hundred head of live stock, including 25 sheep, went under the hammer at the Alex Reid and Herbert Pierce sale at the Reid Springs farm, on Thursday. This farm is located just north of Richmond on the Chester pike, right in the line of travel. A very fair crowd was in attendance and Auctioneer Conniff made an early cleanup. Emmett Hensley was the high bidder on corn, of which there were about 800 bushels. He took it all at 75 cents, a better figure than elevator men could afford to pay. Mr. Hensley lives on the opposite side of the pike and the hauling will be an easy iob. Dave Reid and Will Rich divided the clover hay and Howard Williams got the six tons of alfalfa at $22.50. some of it showing rain damage. The few brood sows sold around $35, and the feeders as to size and weight. Alvin Threewits got a nice bunch of shoats at $17.50 each for 15 head. John Mercer, of Fountain City, picked up one of the cows at $74, while Park Elwood and Frank Scott took aU the sheep at from $4 to $6 50 per head. The Ladies' Aid of Chester served one of their good lunches and made a little Christmas money for their church. Harry Patti and Walter Farlow kept the accounts and showed a net of $2,200.
