' ; - GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Feb. 21. Wheat has been higher on some export demand and mainly from buying of the futures by the seaboard. Greece has not yet Dlaced her order. Gulf bids advanced one cent. Mills were bidding for cashi at Minneapolis. Southwest again reports Green bugs but these were mostly ignored. Southwest offerings are not large. Corn was favored by 600,000 export sales and the decrease in the visible which was unexpected in view of the liberal increase in the last two weeks. Present run of corn is regarded as last before the present run of farm work. A little export business wilj investigate considerable buying of futures by locals who are mostly buying on dips. Look for fair advance' Wednesday. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Feb. 21.

Incidentally Mr. Abrams was asked why he introduced a bill to compel children to care for their parents if the circumstances demanded such care. He replied that he presented the measure because of certain observations he had made in Indianapolis. "I have seen men riding around Indianapolis in high powered cars and throwing wine suppers in the evening when I knew that their parents were almost ready for the poor house," he said. There are three moving picture bills in the house, all with the committee on public morals It may be that these bills will be permitted to slumber, and the house will wait for any movie bill that may come from the senate. The movie question is fur ther advanced In the senate than in the house, and this would be the logical course. It Is probable that action will be had in the senate on the movie question this week. The. fight there centers on two bills. Defines Kinds One of these measures defines certain kinds of films that shall not be shown, but leaves law enforcement in the hands of the existing authorities and does not provide for censorship. This measure was introduced last week. The other bill provides that censorship of noving pictures shall be in the hands of the state board of education. The latter measure has been reported out without recommendation. Generally speaking the censorship
SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,
The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
If .you need hay in a hurry, and plenty of it. look into the merits of Sudan grass. The seed Is the cheapest ever this year. We have known It to sell at $1 per pound in good sized lots; you can buy it at 8 to 10 cents just now. It makes quick and prolific pasturafe if that is what you need, in this case, you can sow It broadcast, using from 35 to 40 pounds per acre. You also can drill it in with a wheat drill and cultivate it If you wish to cut it but once for a hay and seed crop. This method takes less seed and the crop is cut with a corn binder. If you are sowing it for hay and you want to cut two or three crops, or if you want a rich pasture, broadcast your seed. It will grow thick and fine and can be cut with a mower, just as you cut affalfa, except that you let it grow about three feet tall before mowing. Seed men claim that "you can cut three crops per season, that Sudan yields as much hay per acre as good alfalfa, and of almost equal value." Sudan makes good pasture for hogs and will last until frost. One feeder claims that be had Sudan and alfalfa in the same field last year and that his "hogs seemed to like the Sudan better than the alfalfa and kept it eaten down all summer." If planted about the time you plant corn, or a little earlier, yq,u will have fine pasturage by the middle of June. "It will stand any amount of drouth," 'tis said. To Reduce Shrinkage. The Berkshire association prints the following hint "to farmers who may intend making joint carload shipments of hogs: "When shipping in car lots it has been found advantageous to let hogs from different farms run together in an open lot for awhile first, long enough to get used to each other, otherwise the hogs loaded into a car and rather cramped for room, will fight continuously on the trip. This is sometimes fatal to the animals and is bound to cause loss in weight. The exertion puts a heavy tax on the lungs and the hogs suffocate. A carload of grade Berkshires handled as advocat ed recently established a rerord at St. W m , 1 . 1 I V . . 1 I Liouis 1 or low sannKage, losing uui two pounds each on a journey of 36 hours when the normal shrink for such a trip is 5.1 pounds, according to government records." The Berkshire Congress. The First Regiment armory in Phil adelphia was the scene of the American Berkshire snow ana saie ims week, the later taking place on Friday, February 18. During the same time the "American Bershire Congress" was in session at measure is being backed by the leg-. islative council of Indiana women j headed by Mrs. A. H.

said a number of other committee members may speak against it. . It is not believed that it has the slightest chance of getting through the house. To Argue Knapp Bill. The Knapp house bill providing that the automobile license money shall go back to the counties will probably cause spirited argument. This automobile license money has been a bone of contention for the last two years. It amounts to between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 and of course could be used very nicely for thv counties. The governor, it. is said, is thinking more of road maintenance than he Is of new constructioa and it is probable that the maintenance question will be considered above all others in the making of the state highway levy. Six or seven cents is probably the figure at which the state levy will be placed. In the senate the question of the German language will be one of the first things for consideration this week since the Bowers bill to modify the present law as it apples to the teaching of the language in the private and parochial schools is ready for third reading. Nejdl To Attack. It was said today that Senator Nejdl I of Lake county, will be one of the principal speakers in the attack on the I measure. It is not believed that this i measure has the slightest chance to get through the senate. It is doubtful whether it will ever reach roll call on
third reading. The probabilities areinrobablv has had . something tn rin
that when it is called on third reading a motion win De inaae mat 11 De maennitely postponed or that the enacting clause be stricken out. Those in the senate who are opposed to the measure are not it is said, inclined to let it die a natural death. They wish to use the ax in the bloodiest manner possible. It is said that effective work against the measure has been done by interests connected with the office of the state superintendent of public instruction.. Make Discovery. The discovery made last week that a bill has been Introduced in the senate which would take a considerable amount of money out of the public school fund and apply it to the upkeep

the Hotel Lorraine, where a most interesting meeting was held. -Milk Goat Experiments A writer in the National Stockman and Farmer says: "Experiments on grading up from native and grade Toggenburg and Saanen does with pure-bred Swiss bucks have been conducted by the government at Beltsville, Md., since 1911. The average daily yield per doe in 1919 was 3.92 pounds, an increase of 2.42 pounds over the 10 native does which formed the foundation stock of the herd. The highest milk yield for a doe in one day is 8.6 pounds." Goat milk is rich in quality, has important feeding value and the supply rarely equals the demand. It is highly nutritious as an infant food. and Is frequently prescribed for in-1 valids. Fertilizing the Air. A recent announcement that the air can be as advantageously fertilized as the soil, at least if it could be done as cheaply, will cause little surprise. The war brought the achieve ments 01 ine moaern cnemisi so lor- ( cibly to our attention that , we can hope for almost anything from this wonder worker. It is said that plants cannot live without carbon and are able to get it only out of the air, where it exists in the form of carbonic acid gas, the very gas that adds the zip to soda water. Well, a chemist concluded that millions of years ago, when the great forests grew from which our coal deposits were formed, that the air was vastly richer in this gas than now. This suggests that plants might grow more rapidly and yield better if the air in which they grew was richer in this particular gas. The chemist tried out his scheme in a number of greenhouses in some of which the air was greatly enriched with this carbon dioxide, in others for comparison, the plants simply grew in common air. Some Wonderful Results. Well, this story is imported from' Germany. We are not aware of ail the details, but the following are the reported results: Gassed tomatoes yielded 175 per cent more than those grown in ordinary greenhouse way.
