MARKETS

GRAIN PRICES j Furnished by E, W. WAGNER A CO,; 212 Union National Bank - CHICAGO. Feb, ,26.-Trade Is more interested In com and general sentiment locally Is for good receipts and some lower prices. Buying or wheat has been by 6horts and some for investment on hardening premiums at the Gulf. Buying of March, wheat by large locals and the strength in cash situation aided this option today. Outside support in wheat Is limited and advances are temporary.. Friends waiting for crop damage reports that believe are in reserve. Conservatives refuse to remain short in wheat over the week-end but sellers of corn confident of large receipts early next week. We look for some further decline in corn.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn .

Senator J. B. Kendrick of Sheridan, Wyo., Is in attendance at the sessions Of! th ft flrmtn' malralt.... v 4 Chicago thil week rxh MTor who is one of the lareest ranehera in the west, is a member of the committee, He pays that "fr confidence in thia. group of men than in any other body ever formed to handle their problems." This committee beean lavine the foundations for a new marketing system on Wednesday and every member of the committee has pledged to stay with the work "until some solution of the live stock marketing Droblem is worked out." The committee repre sents an tne active farm organizations that have done successful co-operative marketing. C. H. Gustafson, director of the cooperative marketing department of the federal farm bureau, who is also chairman of the grain marketing committee, also heads the committee of 15. He reports that the Farmers Live Stock Shipping company, of Omaha, returned $60,000 to its patrons, this being one-half the total commissions charged. Dean J. H. Skinner, of Purdue, and John M. Evaard, of Iowa State college, are members of the committee of 15, as is George Livingston, chief of the bureau of markets. The latter says the department of agriculture is ready to extend all possible assistance. Their Work Cut Out. Various sub-committees have been appointed to work out the problems of orderly marketing, to study co-operative marketing agencies and centralized markets, transportation, statistical reports and legislation. It is a broad and important program; one which will not be completed in a day, nor in many days. The Committee of Fifteen. Not to interfere with the grain marketing operations of the committee of 17. The former has the live stock section of the marketing muddle to iron out, first of all, after which it may lend a hand wherever needed. Almost Prohibitive Rates. In a little talk before the committee in relation to transportation Senator Kendrick said: "Railroad rates now paid on farm products are almost prohibitive, yet the railroads are not setting enoueh revenue for their ! needs." This reminds us of the rates on

western and southwestern hay intojdolyn White. Following their second Chicago. At some of these points theong, a piano solo was given by Miss

Chicago freight rates, team track switching and sales charges are more than the hay has been selling for, unless it hapens to be a top grade alfalfa, etc. A lot of Nebraska prairie hay, on which the freight cost alone was $9.60 per ton, has sold as low as $14 in Chicago of late, and from that up FARM BUREAU TO ASK LOWER FREIGHT RATE The American Farm Bureau Federation will hold a conference to consider ways and means of lowering transportation costs at the Congress hotel, Chicago, on Monday, March 14. Invitations are extended to all Farm Bureaus, other farm organizations, and shippers associations. Railway labor organizations and railway executive associations are to be asked to send delegates. The American Farm Bureau Federation is the first of the great farm organizations to endorse the grain marketing plan put out by the commit tee of seventeen at Kansas City. Its executive committee voted unanimously in approval of the plan and directed a messaue of congratulation be for - a message or congraiuiauon ue ioi warded to the committee of seventeen , The agricultural editors of America nave been invited by C. H. Gustafson, chairman 0f the committee of seven teen, to meet in the Congress Hotel, Chicago, on Wednesday, March 2, to discuss the plan. Favor Muscle Shoals Dam. That a special section of the Depart ment of Economics and Statistics be established to deal with problems of home economics was recommended by lean Farm Bureau Federation in its 'Chicago meeting at the Hotel La Salle 0n February 17, 19. telegram was sent to congress asking passage of appropriation bill for the Muscle Shoals dam, in order that work al-' ready done may not be wasted and thati the dam be completed pending further consideration of the availability of the . mant for agricultural Durnoses. At the suggestion of Harvey J. Sconce; of Sidell, HI., who reported on his work with the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, it was voted to invite each National association of foreign farmers to send two delegates to the next annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federationj Mr. Sconce will be chfMrman of the committe to welcome the delegates from foreign nations.

to $17, depending on the day's demand and quality. South Dakota shippers are In the same fix, as to rates and prices. Southwestern prairie brings a dollar or so more but southern Illinois prairie has been selling at $11 to $13 frequently this winter, and quite often brings less money than choice oat or rye straw. Number 1 timothy is worth $24 to $25. and Number 1 clover mixed $20 in Chicago today. Chicago Duroc men tell of some outside prices for the 1921 pig club entries. Youngsters of the Cook county rural schools have paid "about $200 each for them," so they claim. H. R. Strauss, president of the Duroc-Breeders' association, says: "We are doing this to interest people and to encourage the raising of purebred stock." In view of the fact that some of these pigs are to be fed in sight of the Chicago stock yards, the parents of those boys and girls are well posted as to price of market hogs and if they are saying "around $200" for 60 to 70-pound registered gilts they are surely enthusiastic breeders. About $1,000 in prize money, a hog show, and a chance to re-sell to the association next fall, should at least give the Cook county Duroc men some valuable advertising within the year, and also tempt the school boy to get into the pig club. FARMERS INSTITUTE AT HOLLANSBURG IS SUCCESSFUL OCCASION HOLLANSBURG, O.. Feb. 26. The women's quartette furnished a popular part of the entertainment at the Friday evening ression of the farmers' institute in the Christian church here. After several songs by the assembly and invocation by Rev. Arrik, they cave a song which was enthusiastically received, and following the speech of the evening, a second song was encored also. For encores, the quartette pave humorous selections, which were even better "hits" than their first songs. The quartette includes Mrs. Dessie White. Mrs. Margaret Bishop, Mrs. Grace Whiteman, and Miss Gwen Norma Chenoweth. D. W. Galehouse was the speaker of the evening on the subject. "Whither are we Drifting?" He recalled the old institutions of the spelling school, singing school, "literaries" and pointed out tbat movies and public dances were but an indifferent substitute for them. Speakers Discuss Problems. The Saturday morning session included piano solos by Irma Wolfal and Olga Rachel Davis, and a song by Thelma Wolfal. Discussions followed the speech by George Young on winter poultry feeding and Galehouse's talk on the business returns for farming. Breeding, feeding and marketing and the use of electric lights to stimulate production points stressed by Young in his talk. Galehouse advocated keeping figures on the cost of production and regarding farming as a business and not an occupation.
