(By Asso"iated Press) CHICAGO, April 9. Uneasiness over the big labor tie-up in Great Britain has acted much like a weight on the wheat market this week. Prices this morning compared with a week ago showed declines varying from a half cent to 3 cents a bushel. Net changes in corn ranged from cent off to l?s cents advance, oats gained cent to 1 cents and provisions lost $1.00 to $3.15. Aside from British strike developments timely rains which meant the removal of any likelihood of a dry weather scare counted most as an influence tending to lower the value of wheat. On the other hand, rallies

were encouraged by a return of low temperatures as well as by signs that export interests were already contracting for new wheat, and by Washington advices that the emergency tariff bill would be hurried through the house of representatives. The government crop report suggesting a smaller yield than recent private estimates had pointed to was also more or less of a temporary- stimulus to buyers. In the end, however, all such facts were more than counterbalanced by the breakdown of efforts to bring about a settlement of the British coal strike. Corn and oats developed comparative strength owing chiefly to smallness of receipts together with wet weather delay to Seeding of oats. Provisions lacked support, a decided increase having been shown in western stocks of meat and lard.

FARMERS TO BENEFIT BY BIG BOND ISSUE

ARRANGED FOR USE l By WILLIAM R. SANBORN j This story of millions will appeal toi

the farmers, as it is their money, available to them as borrowers

through the Federal Land bank atri

Louisville. The facts cited were presented at Indianapolis on Thursday by Leonard B. Clore. treasurer, for the benefit of the secretaries and

treasurers of the 98 Iudiana farm loanj organizations doing business with thej Land bank, who were present at a ; called meeting. Mr. Clore happened! to be In Indianapolis on business and j was invited to address the gathering, j The meeting was called to select! delegates to the meeting of the Na-J tional Union of Farm Loan associa-j tions tc be held in Washington. April! 20. It being the sense of the gather-!

were named as temporary oincers ioj hold until the organization shall be completed in permanent form, withj state charter, etc.: President. J. C. Sanders, Columbia City; vice-presi-i dent. William C. Coryell, Marion; H. B. Randolph, secretary. Noblesville; j and R. S. Fouts, of Greencastle, treasurer. I It is expected that there will be a general meeting of the new body at;

Indianapolis during fair ween, wnen the organization will be put on a permanent basis. Farmers Pay Promptly Twaniror rinrfi. of the Federal

T and hfink. stated that both the fed-i

eral farm loan board and the Federal Land bank favored such organizations I as those present had met to form. He J then proceeded to give out a lot of interesting figures as to what had so often been accomplished in this district for the relief of the farmers; through the various farm loan organ-j izations dealing with the bank . The district includes Indiana, Ohio, j Kentucky and Tenneeesee. j During his talk Mr. Clore stated : that since the first farm loan was made in March. 1917, $27,825,400 had! been loaned in the Fourth Federal dis-: trict. up to March 31 of this year. There had been 8,865 farm borrow-1 ers up to April 1. and these had paid! off and retired loans amounting to' $1,319,400 to March 31. There had! further been a reduction of $441,000; in principal bv partial payments, while interest in the sum of $2,447,882 had I also been collected. i The payments on interest account had been Vo prompt, the speaker stated, that only on one occasion was j there any past due interest collect- j able on the lat day of any month, j Owing to the death of a borrower, whose estate was in the hands of an administrator, there was an uncollect-' ed interest balance of $620 one month,, this being the only time that such aj report had to be made. "This rec-J ord has not been equalled by anyj other land bank of the twelve cover-j ing the country," said the speaker. . Big Bond Issue Arranged ' Within the next 10 days five of the largest bond concerns in the United States will announce the offering of from fnrtv million to eixtv million

i dollars worth of farm loan bonds. It

is also said that on April la application blanks for farm loans will be . sent out to the loan agencies, and to farmers who alreadv have applied ; for them. This will be good news to; prospective borrowers in all parts of i the country- ! The purpose of the law is that the farmers shall eventually own the federal land banks, although the govern-, ment originally subscribed $742.265 . mit rf tVic nnnital ctolr total of $750.-

000 used to establish the land bank I in the Fourth district. This stock has j been reduced by $143.00 through learnings, according to the treasurer..

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Oats and gasolene do not make a palatable mixture. They are not usually even discussed in the same sentence; but here is a case where they were. A North Dakota farmer recently said "This is the first time in my recollection that a bushel of oats would not buy a gallon of gasolene." He was speaking or his local market, of the price of oats at his elevator and of gasolene in the village. And this reminds us of the fact that there are a world of oats in northwestern Canada which are unsalable. The freight rates to consuming markets leave nothing but the work of haulirg for the farmer. And the western farmer who said that he couldn't pack enough hides on a wagon to buy a pair of fine shoe, was only illustrating discrepancy in the prices of what the farmer has to sell and what he has to buy; because Lis products have fallen the fastest and to the lowest level, compared to articles of manufacture. This condition will most likely be adjusted more equitably, later. But it pinches and hurts now. It is the cause of nearly aM of the farmers' troubles. The Farmers' Busy Season. If farmers really ever do enjoy a period of actual rest when they can invite their souls to enjoy life, which they almost unanimously deny, this isn't the time of year for it The business of the farm year is just beginning in this latutude, and is now under way. The day of the farm sale has passed until the fall season; farm institutes are a memory, and the numerous gettogether and f-ocial township federation meetings, are of the pa.st. True, thu regular monthly meetings will take place and here and there will social gatherings be held, such as Grange picnics. Eauity socials and eat-fests in the woods, and gatherings of farm bureau folks with well filled baskets, after harvest days. But between seed time and harvest lie many weary days of work from sun-up to sunset: the sun being early to rise pnd slow and late in setting in the mean time. The wish of the farmers for a solid week of sunshine was not gratified. The down pour on Thursday night, followed by showers on Friday interfered with plowmen and delayed their work for at least two days, just when plows were running right, and every tractor and plow team was Mie busiest. Pastures are greening and young clover, where not frozen out. is making a bruve showing. There is promise of a creator acreage of Sudan and sovs this

year than last, the Sudan being a pro-!

life and long lasting pasture crop which is growing in favor. The sowing of soy beans in the corn has been foutid very profitable by tho?e who are inclined to let the hogs harvest their own corn. Woolen Cloth for Farmers. There are so few woolen mi'ls in rhe 'onti-al wprt tli? the proposal that farmers have their wool woven into

cloth and made up ino clothing is far!

from practible. except in rare instances. Down ens it is different. In one Connecticut county the farmers pooled all their woo through a mmaeer who found an idl woolen mill, made a deal with it and hfd the entire lot made up into cloth. This clotli was woven into a sp.'Afted line of nnttems and distributed back to those who furnished the wool. It was a satisfactory deal, many of the farmers having surplus clo'h to supply a. few neighbors. The oftiprars of the McLahp county, Illinois farm bureau rre going to trv

iiu. uiii. ft'inii, ii 1 1 .rin i't? firrifiipi, unci i f re to get. samples of such doth to hj shown at bureau headnuartpr. Tf( such arrangement can be mad it will1 present orpcrtunitv to eet virgin wool cloth which will eive long wear, at a great saving, and at the same time provide a market for uool. Shipping Wheat at Greensfork Manager Kennedy, of the elevator at Greensfork. said Saturday morning that they had shipped out three carof wheat during the week and that

they had ' paid from $1.40 down to $1.27. With reference to the pooled wool, he stated that, while he hadn't the figures at hand, he remembered that the report on weight and grading varied but little from their shipping weights. President Davis, of the county federation, has all the wool data and correspondence and those interested are referred to Mr. Davis. They are paying 45 cents for corn at Greensfork, and getting very little. The directors of the Wayne farm federation are in session at the office of County Agent Dolan this Saturday afternoon. It is a business session and not a general meeting, and is being held behind closed doors. Wheat $1.25 at Milton The manager of the Milton Grain company says that he took in some wheat at $1.25 per bushel Friday, the first in some time. He says that very little corn is moving and that mostly between farmers who are paying each other 65 to 70 cents for it. There is considerable feeding being done around Milton, and but for the present high freight rates corn could now be shipped in to advantage. Spring plowing is claimed to be advanced pretty well in the Milton district and

it is thought that the usual corn acreage will be planted. Selling Potatoes Below Cost Potatoes have not been netting cost to the growers at northern shipping points, having fallen 20 cents per hundred weight within the week. They are now selling at 75 to 80 cents per hundred, sacked, for "as good potatoes as grow out of the ground." as one grower puts it. Michigan raised 38,000,000 bushels last year and there is still a considerable supply in the

hands of the growers. New Texas potatoes, also Floridas. are being re

ceived at Chicago and in eastern cities, but at too high figures to attract family buyers. Michigan men hope to make a cleanup at some price by raidJune and before northern early potatoes reach our markets.
