GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Buildinc. CHICAGO, April 6 Some talk In Chicago that July wheat Is cheap. May wheat is supported by the 6mall 18 million visible. Foreigners seem to be taking new wheat ahead. Only small dips expected in com and oats. If the wheat report due at 11 a. m. rima 91 to 92 Der cent condition with small ploughup It will be hard to bulge j July wheat very far. Secretary of , Agriculture Wallace in Chicago toaay says farm products must adjust themBeives to world conditions. Last year in April the government gave the estimate of wheat promise in bushels based on the assumption of an average plowup. We believe the trade will now buy July wheat on good breaks.

"SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

AT ABIN6T0N OPPOSED BY 250 PETITIONERS A petition signed by 250 voters of Abington township opposing the Issuance of $30,000 worth of bonds for the bui'ding of a consolidated school near Abington was presented at the hearing before T. A. Tillman, of the state board of tax commissioners. The hearing was held in the town hall at Abington beginning at 10 a. m. Wednesday and continued late in the afternoon. A. N. Threewitz. leader in the move - ment opposing the consolidation of the Abington schools, stated in pre senting the petition that 250 signatures had been secured out of a possible 325 and that more could have been secured if they had been deemed necessary. The evidence presented by those opposed to the consolidation stated that they were opposed to the move at this time because of the necessarily heavy increase in the tax levy that would accompany it. Opposition Strong Opposition was strong to building the school on the site selected by the township advisory board at any time. It was pointed out that thi3 was two and on-half miles west of Abington and on a mud road which would make it virtually inaccessible in the bad weather. The petitioners stated that they were in favor of consolidation later on and at a different site. Mark Meek, prominent farmer, said that he would be willing to give $500 la-ter on for the benefit of a new school, but that he was opposed to the move at this time. Point to Valuation . The fact that the valuation of the bond issue was brought out. This would necessitate a 24-cent levy, according to county officials, who figured the tax levy for the possible bond issue. The evidence of the township trustee and advisory board had not been submitted at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. All of this will be taken by Mr. Tillman and presented to the state board of tax commissioners in Indianapolis. The ruling on the bond issue will be made by them. Kelly Witnesses Leave; Admit False Testimony WINCHESTER. Ind., April 6 Developments that are likely to change the entire outcome of the trial of Eddie Kelly, charged with robbing the Ridgeville bank, became known with the opening of the Randolph county ! court Wednesday morning. Three witnesses for the defense, Michael Tracey. Peter Dumont and Anthony Farrell, departed overnight for parts unknown, according to the statement of the counsel for the defense. Their departure, he said followed an admission that they had testified falsely in attempting to establish an alibi for Kelly. The particular statement which they had made falsely, they said was that in which they asserted they had never been convicted of a crime or served sentence in an Illinois penal institution. All of them admitted, he said, in their talk with the attorney Tues day evening, that they had been con victed and sentenced for the crime of! grand larceny in Illinois.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

There are now amout 260 co-opera- J tive elevators in Indiana, in control of ' the Farmers' Grain Dealers' assochv ' tion. Although new elevators are occasionally built, it is the policy of tho organization to take over existing facilities rather than to build. This removes a competitor, gives immediate use and is. usually more economical than the installing of a new plant. Considerable winter killing of young clover is reported and as a partial re lief for this misfortune a hay, crop of oats and Canadian fiplrf a is ror. onim,ended Dv the Ohio State university. The mixture, consisting of l1 bushel of oats and 1 bushel of peas per acre is sown just as oats are sown, will make a very rapid growth and will make from 1 to 2V2 tons of hay per acre, depending on the soil, according to this authority. Agricultural Tariff Bill. Washington promises that the agricultural emergency bill will come up next week and be quickly disposed of. One of the sections which is likely to cause controversy relates to the importation of potash. This industry was established in this country during the war, but since that time most of the plants have been shut down. Farmers contend that cheap potash for fertilizer purposes is an essential and are opposed to a tariff on that product. Lower Export Grain Rates. The chairman of the interstate commerce commission recommends a reduction of 4 cents per hundred on export grain from St. Louis and 3 cents on the all-rail rate from Chicago, with lake and rail rates from lake ports at Duluth, Minneapolis and Chi cago cut correspondingly on grain and flour. This is resigned to stimulate the export business, only, and does not apply otherwise. If your fruit is in bloom poison sprays will kill the bees, so don't spray at such a time. It is better to raise bees than to kill them. There are none too many bees distributing polen and fertilizing the blossoms in any year. Fcr Buyer and Seller. The C. & O. Railway company publish a monthly bulletin designed "to bring buyer and seller together." The bulletin lists the offerings of the farmers along the road, including cattle, hogs, horses, mules, sheep, fruit and produce, also farm machinery, poultry, seeds, etc. In the April list are included hares, dogs, ducks, geese and turkeys, and the offerings cover all the best known strains of poultry, with the names of numerous fanciers who have the birds to dispose of. A check up shows twelve varieties, ranging from Anconas to Wyandottes. In addition there is quite a list of "wants," including implements and machinery, seeds and live stock. Beyond giving out the information as to what is on offer, and what is wanted, tho raid assumes no responsibility whatever. Addresses are given and the business is done direct by the parties interested. The bulletin is printed by the agricultural and industrial 'department, :it Richmond, Va. Millions Spent for Soys. So far as the census statistics show, no soy-bean oil was manufactured in this country In 1919 or 1920, although several western oil mills and southern cotton-oil mills crushed both imported and domestic grown beans in earlier years. At the same time the importation of oil for the year ending June 30, 1920, amounted to 195,773.591 pounds, valued at $25,23,590. The importa tions of soy-bean oil cake for the same period amounted to 16.273,785 pounds, valued at $408,895. Beans were imported to the amount of 4,022.552

WITH I pounds, valued at $213,696 The absence of a soy-bean crus-hing industry in this ZVtIl L It?!? J" ly all the beans for seeding the large per cent of acreage utilized for pasture, silage, and forage. Control of Weeds. If the experts of the department of agriculture are correct, the fanner spends "about 30 per cent of the time used in crop cultivation to fighting weeds." To help him control or eradicate these pests a number of farmers' bulletins have been prepared, as follows: Number 610, wild onion: C60, Weeds in General; 945, Bermuda Grass: 1161, Dodder; 1166, Poison Ivy and Poison Sumac; 1002, Canada Thistle. In addition to these the following leaflets on special weeds may be obtained by writing direct to Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. C: Chemical Weed Killers; Eradication of Nut Grass; Wild Carrot; Crab-Grass; Killing Dandelions in Lawns; Sheep Sorrel; Chickweed in Lawns; Eradication of Quack Grass; Wild Morning Glory, or Blind-Weed; Honeysuckle as a "Weed: Perennial Sow Thistle. The leaflet on "Chemical Weed Killers" should be of interest to many farmers, as numerous weeds may be subdued by chemicals. No charge is made for the bulletins listed. The preferred stockholders in the elevator properties at Boston. Kitchell and Witts Station, are to meet at Boston Monday evening. April 11, for the purpose of organizing a co-operative association. When formed this body will make up the center around which all the farmers in these districts can unite for the purchase and operation of these elevators, either as separate cooperative units under individual management, or as a single association. In the latter instance one general manager would oversee and be responsible for all operations, and be assisted by a resident elevator man at each point. There is a feeling, however, among the farmers in each district, that it will be best to make each plant individually co-operative, so that each unit can be run by and in the sole interest of each group of co-operators, without liability of any nature with reference to the elevators at the other to points. This is also in line with the recommendation of E. G. McCuIlum. of the state federated marketing service. Mr. McCullum addressed the stockholders and farmers at Boston last Thursday night, and instructed them in the methods to be followed In co-operative organization. All Three Must Be Sold. As a result of the meeting last week. H. M. Motley, elevator builder in the service of the Farmers' Grain Dealers' j association, was called to inspect and place a valuation on each of the elevators listed. He made his inspection on Tuesday. Mr. Motley said they were all valuable and well located properties, and are worth every dollar of his valuations: in fact, could not be replaced at his figures.

This would facilitate action, place the responsibility and bring matters to a quick and definite conclusion. One thing is certain.

Lands, Switches, Warehouses. These elevators own acres of land, have four or five residences, have switches on their own land in one or two cases, and are amply equipped, according to Mr. Motley. The elevator at Witts is of modern concrete construction and fire proof.
