GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Jan. 6. With little export demand wheat has continued under pressure but we hear of good buying around 11.70 for March wheat. Some buying on reports of 52 ships at Galveston to carry wheat. May wheat closed at $1.63 and March $1.69 on Friday before Monday's sharp bulge. May corn closed 74. Present prices today are below these figures and best interests say any buying will cause another liberal advance. We look for higher prices overnight. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W.

Mr. Fess said that the government did not provide for such a situation in that general rehabilitation act for it had not been foreseen. The act provided, however, that the vocational board could receive loans and donations for such a purpose. He said that the Elks had advanced $200,000 in loans to former service men who had entered vocational training. It is expected that a separate bill making an appropriation for loans to needy former service men who desire to take vocational training, will be introduced, the loans to be repaid to the governmen by monthly deductions from compensation payments. Representatives of manufacturing and producing interests of the countryare beginning to assemble in Washington and from now on until the middle of February, hotels and the committee rooms and the corridors of the capitol will be thronged with men concerned with the making of the new tariff law by the next congress. Tariff hearings will commence today before the ways and means committee, schedules for oils, paints and chemicals being discussed. To Protect Industries. The purpose of the. bill to be prepared, after all the facts are elicited, is to enact a tariff which will protect American Industries, foster them and provide employment for labor at wages commensurate with the American standard of living. The tariff makers state that this will be a good time to try out the efficacy of the tariff commission and prove or refute the arguments made for and against its' worth at the time it was created. Men in congress differed then, and do yet, as to its value and now is declared to be the time for a showdown. The traffic commission is known to have bussed itself since the war gathering information from all hitherto great manufacturing countries as well as collecting statistics of home production. These facts are expected to be of value to the ways and means committee in "checking up" the statements of witnesses urging their case before the committee, who may naturally be expected to make the most telling arguments possible in behalf of their own particular industries and their need for protection. Perhaps for the first time "Mr. Ultimate Consumer" -will have something to say in regard to the framing of a tariff bill, which is to be introduced at the extra session. Hitherto the manufacturer, labor and the farmer have been the interests consulted in the making of tariff laws. They will be consulted' this time, but so will that "mysterious stranger Mr. Ultimate Consumer." MAKE LONG FLIGHT. . MEXICO CITY, Jan. 6.

MARKETING SERVICE, COOPERATIVE PURCHASES FARM PRESENTATION, DISCUSSED WEDNESDAY

Discussion of ' the new federated marketing service occupied the atten tion of the directors of the Wayne County Farmers' association during a large part of the quarterly meeting at the courthouse Wednesday. ' A letter from tho state offices was read explaining the plan and asking that organization of the communities be completed immediately. Coal, feed, tankage, and fertilizers are to be handled and plans have been made to pool orders for fertilizers at once. The state plan is to have a county committee appointed to work in conjunction with a local committee of three members in. each community. One of the members is to be a representative of the co-operative elevator, when there is one. The sentiment of the meeting fa-INTER-COUNTY PIKE MEETS OPPOSITION AT FARM CONCLAVE Strong opposition to the Boston Richmond and Richmond-Newcastle roads developed at the quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the Wayne County Farmers' association, held in the courthouse Wednesday afternoon. This matter was considered in connection with a letter from the Henry county federation which stated that they had requested that construction be postponed for a year because building at present prices would increase taxes from 35 to 40 cents on $100 valuation and the feeling was that prices would be lower next year. After the Henry county letter had been read, discussion opened. Against Construction. Archibald Brooks said : "I am against anything that would raise the taxes at the present time. This is a time when we must go slow on expenditures and at present prices for labor and material, I say, stop! We don't need the road now. We can get along without it for a while, and we may have lower prices later." Brooks would be a constant user of the proposed road. Walter Kitterman, another prospectiver user, also was opposed to it. Grafton Stewart, of Hagerstown, representing Jefferson township, and a man who would benefit from the road, said: "I am always in favor of improvements and especially of good roads. The automobile is here to stay and it must be provided for in our road plans. Advises Delay. "But I don't think it would be wise at present construction prices to try to build now. I would be in favor at any other time. My own taxes this year are just double to a penny what they were last year, and I'm not sure yet just how I am going to pay them. We can't 6tand still higher taxes next year." During the course of the meeting the county agent of Henry was asked to explain the situation in his county. He said: "We were in favor of building this road and another which we had planned from Rushville to Muncie. But we consulted with the auditor to see how heavy it would make our taxes and when he reported that it would increase them a total of $7 a hundred for the period of the bond issue we decided to hold off for a year. To Build Later. "We still hope to build the road but not this year. We expect to be able to place contracts at three-fourths what is being asked now, by next year. At present with prices and labor the way they are the contractor must protect himself by quoting a price of a third more than next year's cost." On suggestion of the members Everett Hunt was appointed to inquire what the proposed cost per mile of the road would amount to in increased taxes. The opinion of the Wayne auditor was that the estimated cost of $40,000 per mile would necessitate raising the taxes by one-third for the next 10 years. A resolution committee was appointed to draft a resolution covering the position of the federation in this matter. The president, Theodore Davis, appointed Andrew Kerber, Grafton Stewart, Everett Hunt and J. L. Dolan as the resolution committee. Adopt Resolution. After deliberation, the committee presented the following resolution for adoption and presentation to the county commissioners; Resolved: That we, the members of the Wayne County Farmers' association, considering the extremely high prices of labor and material at the present time, are opposed to the construction of concrete or any other hard-surfaced road in Wayne county during the present year unless a change in economic conditions would warrant the expense. We further resolve that other county expenses be curtailed if feasible, because the slump in prices of farm commodities will make taxation extremely burdensome. Briefs K. of P.

vored the handling of the fertilizers by the local co-operative ; elevators where they were established, and it was decided to invite the officiala and managers of the co-operative elevators to meet, Monday at 1 p. m. at Greensfork with the board of directors to perfect details. Some doubt had been expressed and in some instances, strong objections, as to the advisability of giving a definite order for fertilizer before the price was known. This point was cleared up by a paragraph in the letter from the state office. "We are not advising that you purchase either of the above commodities at the present prices, but we do advise that you get them to proceed to make the above pools and be ready to transact business whenever the prices meet the approval of their committee." Name Is Changed. By unanimous action of the board the name of tbe county organization was changed from "Association" to "Bureau" to be in conformity with other counties of the state. "Association" was felt to be too indefinite a term while "bureau" means "a place for getting things done." The policy of continuing to pay the expenses of necessary speakers for townships from county funds was approved; and the mileage payment of 10 cents a mile to directors for attending board meetings was continued, but payments were arranged to be made in a lump sum at the annual meeting. Upon the question of farmer representation upon the tax equalization board, the directors expressed themselves well satisfied with the policy of last year, and Isaac Wilson was named as a committee of one to 'consult with Judge Bond concerning this year's representation. Plans for circulating a monthly news letter to the membership, telling of the work of the bureau; starting up pig clubs, purchasing of smut-treating machinery, were mentioned, but no action was taken. Concerning the smut-treating outfit, Davis said, "We have a loss of at least one or two per cent in every field and our saving from treating the seed would be several thousand dollars a year." Hire Office Help. An appropriation was voted for hirI ing an office assistant to do clerical work and give the agent more time in the field. In answer to an inquiry from a member as to whether there were enough farmers on the Richmond Chamber of Commerce to entitle them to a directorship, Davis replied that there are now 13 members, while only 10 are required for representation. Mr. ! Davis also mentioned the corn show, the first activity of , the new chamber, stating that a man had been invited from Purdue. Mr. Davis said he had requested that a state federation man also be given a place on the program. Mr. Davis reported a generally helpful and favoraile attitude toward farming among uie chamber members. MARKET CONDITIONS DULL IN OKLAHOMA, SAYS VISITOR HERE "Dull marketing conditions for farm products are not confined to Wayne county, according to the testimony of E. G. Markley, who is visiting his relatives in Richmond. Markley operates his father's 160 acre farm near Dacoma, Okla, "We raise wheat out there and we had a good crop this year but we couldn't sell it. We couldnt get cars in which to ship it until the price dropped. Then there were plenty. At threshing time I barely got my wheat threshed before a rain came which stopped the machine. The next day a car came in and I took advantage of the wet weather to haul my grain. I hauled four loads when the elevator man stopped me. refusing to take any more. After that there were no more sales for six weeks, while the price dropped steadily. After the piice was down to below $2.00, cars began to come in, but by that time we were holding instead of selling." Allege Car Holding. Deliberate holding of cars by the railroads was the charge made by Markley. "There were trains of 100 cars standing on sidings right in threshing time," he said. "My neighbors used to take the train and go down to places 100 or 150 miles away just to see the empty cars.

road employes that I talked with said 1 that they would be ordered to haul a ! train of empties 100 miles or so one day and they would stand where they were left for two, three or four days, when the train crews would get orders to haul them back or to take them 100 miles in some other direction, so that they would never be left standing very long in one place. Yet with all these cars, we couldn't get more than one at a time In threshing when we needed them mosL" Join Association. - Dissatisfaction with transportation and financial conditions have brought many members Into the Wheat Growers' association, Mr. Markley said. "There were 800,000 members when I came east," said Markley. "We are all in it and the farmers of almost all Kansas are members. Next year, if we. dont get more money than Is offered now, there will be no wheat sown. We will have to have more. I am paying half the grain and $300 cash rent. My half . of the grain amounted to $1,300 this yearwhich, with $300 out leaves me $1,000 to pay threshing bills, my half of the seed and the wages for the hands who demanded 70 cents an

hour this year. It took two of those high priced hands to keep up behind a 7-foot binder, while one would do it several years ago, by the way. Out of what is left, I must get my living, a pretty slim one, especially as we can't raise garden stuff out there." Charges Collusion. Suggesting that the moneyed interests of his community were in collusion with the five elevators of the town, Markley said: "After wheat went down to a dollar from the $2.47 and $2.50 paid at threshing time, the banks sent out registered letters to the farmers telling them to pay up at once. I know of one instance in which 30 farmers went to the bank in a body and offered enough livestock to cover all their debts, even at the low prices for stock, but refused to move a bushel of wheat " You can take all our stock, they said, but we won't let a bit of wheat go.' " Markley was found In . the county agent's office. His visit to that office was for the purpose, of nding out the proportion of carbon-bisulphid in the treatment of bin-weevil. "My wheat !s in the bin yet and the weevl! is getting pretty bad," he said. "My neighbor writes that flour flies in a cloud when he scoops the wheat over."

URGE LOCAL PEOPLE TO BACK CORN SHOW "It's up to the people of Richmond to show they are back of the Chamber of Commerce by attending the meetings of the committees promoting the corn show and agricultural Institute, to be held in the K. of P. temple Thursday night," said John A. Brookbank Thursday. "Richmond will have accomplished something worth while, and the Chamber of Commerce given a good start, providing the people get behind the movement. The Idea Is primarily one of community service," he added. Both Mr. Brookbank, chairman of the publicity committee, and Walter B. Fulghum. chairman of the arrangements committee, will speak at the meeting. Every person in the city is invited. One of the main matters to be considered is the program for the two day short course, staged by the agricultural extension department , of the International Harvester company, Feb, 7 and 8. County Agent J. L. Dolan as chairman of the program committee, and is depending upon the supporters of the movement to assist in framing a satisfactory program. Mr. Brookbank said Thursday that if the people-of Richmond show sufficient interest, Orson Ryan, assistant to Perry G. Holden, Purdue agricultural authority, will come to Richmond to help in arranging the details for the corn show and the institute. This meeting, if desired, could be held next Monday afternoon.
