Wheat risible down near 20 millions There is more optimism as to wool tariff and this may help grain. Jly wheat at 11.25 represents 1 to $1.10 on farms. The small risible may prop markets until Thursday. Export demand is poor. Spring wheat acreage may be very large. Cold wave evidently' did not hurt wheat seriously Sales for a turn if any closing bulge is indicated. " RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., " 212 Union - National Bank ... Buildino.

HOW - MAC WON'T U

IN THFHOUe TMAT CAME . - - , i DUKE FARMER-MEMBER ON EACH STATE BODY IS GOVERNOR'S AIM Indiana farmers are expected toi have more representation at the statebouse during the next four years than emor McCray having informed confer-1 ees of his intention to place a farmer - member on all important state commissions and board. The first expression of his intention came in the appointmentt cf Maurice Douglas, secretary of the Indiana Fed eration of Farm associations, as a t member of the Public Service Commission. Places in other state departments which are yet to be lined Dy: to farmers The appointment of J. J. Brown to the stats tax board shortly before tht beginning of Governor McCray's administration was with the governor's approval or at his suggestion, with the announced view of giving representation to the farmers as a class. .Mr. Brown's term is for four years, and he aO acting viian uiau jl lswcw - appointment with that of Mr. Douglas i to the Public Service commission is reearded eenerallv amone statehouse officials as among the most important affecting the farmers. Farmera to Have Voice. Many problems and questions coming before the public service commission as the state regulatory body over public utility companies are of special interest to the farmers. The organized farmers favored enactm?nt by the last legislature of a law that would give the commissions control over stockyard3, but this legislation was lost. Rural telephone service, and the extension by electric utilities to their lines, to provide light for farmers, are among the problems frequently before the commission. No announcement was made by Governor McCray of hi.? reason for selecting Mr. Douglas as a farmer member of the commission, but it is understood that his purpose was to give the farmers a voice within the commission on Its decisions of matters directly affecting them. Just what other state jobs the governor will place upon farmers is a matter of conjecture. However, there is the feeling among statehouse offi VVTh1 re 61Ve a?po ni " ments because of the governor s declaration to conferees to give a recognmon to tne larmers as a class. nnpn.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Ross Witts, of Harrison township, Lnion county, said in Richmond on Saturday that he had 4,000 bushels of ;corn, none of which he considered In shape for shelling and grinding. This he said is the condition of corn in his "e&ys that " drying l?f ?tod,n or " wln ht and sour. The corn la all right for imme diate feeding, of course, but is not in shape for milling and shipping to China or elsewhere until kiln dried or weather seasoned. Mr. Witts said th unUnUny, na-ns of corn for the famine strickuntvth l blea atctlve Union muni) mis week. Countv ae-pnt famn. bell said the other dv that , canvass for corn was on and that cars were to be loaded the week of March 27 to April 2. A farmer living south of Richmond said that he attended a farmers' meet5. t Boston some time ago, at which the speaker said that the farmer couldnt quit, that he must sow and IZtP; Sara,ess of Price and profit. This is true only in part." said th farmer, "for ihn 1 ixlIU C3D QUIT Tf t h in o-C rtr prove , pIaqn to SQW it won-t hurt them and to tike tWnw 'J? Q .lo IaKe tnings easy lor a time. The farmer who is in debt must keep going but the man who owns a good debt-fre farm quit cultivating crops at any time. He can live just the same." Bread on the Waters The American farmera who are dorating grain to feed the hungry in Europe are "casting bread on the waters of ultimate financial gain," says Carl Vrooman, now at the head of the gift corn bureau of the farm federation. Aside from the good will engendered for America by this wholehearted donation the introduction of corn meal and corn flour is expected to later broaden the market for an American product with which the now hungry peoples have not so far become ramiliar. While It is true that o?rrneifrfPirS. snp.pins. aJot or corn to European countries it has oeen largely consumed by the industries, the glucose, distilling, also the feeding interests, with but little used for human food.

Collections show some improvement and classed as fair to good." may be Price on Grass Seeds Toledo, Ohio, is a speculative market on grass seeds, the best known grass seed center in the country, in fact. They trade in "seed futures" at Toledo and for that reason the following comment will be of interest. Remember in this connection prime last week, with alsike bringing as high cash clover sold around $12 most of as $15 for cash deliveries and cash timothy bringing from $2.80 to $3 per bushel. The comment of the brokerage firm follows: "Usually there is a good demand for timothy seed during April, and many in the trade seem to be looking for it this year, but nothing is certain these days," say J. F. Zahm & Co., of Toledo, O. "Just as the season of demand for good red clover seed was got cold feet and sold out, resulting due many holders of clove- futures in a break to $10.35 for Virch. Then came the shipping demand and an advance of about $3.00 per bushel fol lowed. Many holders of April and May timothy appeared to be getting a little tired and we are wondering whether the same thing will happen to timothy as did to clover. Will longs sell out just before a good demand sets in, or isn't the demand coming?" A year ago April timothy sold at $16.55. The stock of timothy at Toledo is not burdensome 60,000 bags, against 102,000 last year, and 106,000 two years ago. FARMERS RESPOND TO FAMINE RELIEF GALL IN PREBLE COUNTY EATON, O., March 2S.

CROP ACREAGE NOT TO BE DECREASED, SAYS OHiO EXPERT Ohio's total crop acreage will not be materially decreased this year, hut there will undoubtedly be considerable shifting In the acreage from crops requiring much labor to those requiring less labor, according to findings of W. F. Calendar, statistician of the Ohio Farm Bureau federation after a canvass of condition in a!l Ohio counties. "On the whole, the wheat crop is in excellent condition," Callandar said, "having already made considerable growth. The presence of the Hessian fly is noted in many co untie and may result in much damage later. Apparently the fall damage was lesi than a year ago. due to the fact thai much of the wheat was seeded after fly time. Very little winter killing i. reported, so that the prospects no are rather favorable for a good wheal crop. Meadows Are in Good Shape "Meadows also are in excellent condition, and already have some growth. Some reports of winter killing of new seedlings have been received, but they are in the minority. "There i3 a general feeling of apprehension with regard to the fruit crop. Bud? of practically all kinds of fruits are too far advanced for this season of the year and there may ba serious damage from late frosts. It is not believed that the apple buds have been injured to any extent, but it is quite possible that peaches already have been damaged in soms sections, as many trees were in fu1! bloom when the heavy frost occurred on the night of March 22. Barring damage from late frost3. fruit prospects are good. "Spring plowing is in general progress over practically all the state. Is fact, in some sections plowing did not cease during the entire winter. Grai and clover are now being sown in the wheat, the work having been delayed by rain. Oats seeding is under way in the southern counties. Tin wet weather, however, is preventing progress in many tec-tions. "While there is a considerable feci ing of pessimism and discouragement in rural districts and much uncertainty as to what course to pursue ii planning for the future with a view i to meeting the new conditions wh:c:t I have developed, the general tone of ttie reports received 13 IUUCD fflOT i ! nnl imistio than thnco rksrive1 t I z. , absolute necessities, until a better adiustment is reached between the nro-1-to be done before a proper price cqu:!i ibrium will be reached." tauv-. m.i !and cheaper this year landar said.
