About 300.000 corn sold for export today. Wheat demand quiet and tariff move looks like having very little effect owing to the big crop outlook and reserves of feed but has weakened the Winnipeg market.

LITTLE CROP DAMAGE IN VICINITY BY STORM; FRUIT INJURY VARIES Little crop damage was done by the Ftorm and temperature drop according to' reports Monday morning, but the fear was expressed frequently that any fruit which mieht have escaned nrev ious cold snaps had succumbed to this final one. "Alfalfa, cover and oats are hurt a little but not enough to amount to anything," said County Agent Turner, of Preble county, who spent Monday morning making an inspection and estimate of the effects of the storm. "Cherries had been damaged before, but this spell caught the early apples," said Joseph Helms. Monday morning. "Crops are not hurt, however. It was four degrees below freezing here, and ice formed." Takes Hopeful View. A more hopeful view is taken by Walter Ratliff, who says that although pears and plums will suffer severely, there still will be enough fruit buds left for a fair crop. "Pears and plums I were at just the right stagr. to be caught, said Ratliff. Apples were m bloom and not at a stage of development that would expose them to much harm, while peaches were far enough along to weather through. Cherries were not out yet and could not be harmed.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

If the labors of the Committee of Fifteen, who have attempted a solution of the American farm bureau cooperative live stock selling problems, cost the farmers $55,000, which is the amount of the assessment divided among the several states, what will be the cost of the Committee of Sev enteen, to April 8; and also of the ref'al .dlrt,ctory of 21 members which succeeds the first committee? All such expenses are to be borne without income from farm bureau activities, until the machinery Is in working order, actually begins to function and to show returns. Illinois has paid its share of the above assessment, $5,000 and on top or that has voted to loan the American farm bureau or the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc. at Chicago, $25,000 to help carry on the work of this organization. It can not be expected that an organization of national scope can be efficiently run, or run at all, without heavy outlay. We are not advised of the amount Indiana has been assessed, or -what loans may have been made or are in prospect, at this time, but no doubt Indiana as a wealthy state with a large membership, will take care of its obligation?. The Illinois loan is for six months. The Hampshire Belt3 In 1903 there were but ten Hampshire Belt hog breeders in this country having registered herds. Most of these were in Kentucky and their hogs were known as "the thin rinds." They thrived on the lime water and ! blue grass of that region, where they made enviable records. It is now lnat ,nere are 40-000 breeders ?1 "a.mpshires in this country, or at I fU?L Tny, k f van?us es. thousands of which are registered. lran? ch.sWsh,1?

H enougn uvp truit may not remain to warrant spraying. If in doubt, it Is recommended that the trees be sprayed, anyway. Experience has shown that many who have omitted spraying following a severe frost have later harvested a fair crop of wormy fruit. It is time for the application of the "petal-fall" spray, just as soon as the bloom has fallen. During the week following bloom-fall this spray should be applied when the foliage is dry. It is the most important spray of the season, and prevents the codling moth worms from entering the blossom end of the apple during the entire sum - mer. Bordeaux for Perennials A small quantity of Bordeaux spray will keep perennials in fine shape, Spray weekly during the next four or five weeks. This will insure clean foliage during the summer and prePRICE OF MEAT, SUGAR, BUTTER, CHEESE IS UP; OTHER FOOD CHEAPER (Bv Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April IS.

SANBORN The Wayne County Dairy Products company, with a capitalization of $50.000. js now ready to - be launched Articles of incorporation have been drawn, directors elected to serve until January. 1922, and all the preliminary machinery set in action.

Gustave H , Hoelscher. who drew the article of" incorporation, will immediately certifv and hie same with the secretary of A. J. Swift. Of thA nffirMal ino,.t served Preble county. Ohio, as county enu, ink removed to Wayne within the past year and has become interested in the dairvine hninc w been active in the work of the local aairying Interests from its inception. "All the men connected with the new enterprise axe well known citizens, capable of finishing whatever they may start," as one of the producers puts it, "and we may soon expect concrete action that will bring results." What has been done to-date is the result of much canvassing among the dairy men, numerous meetings and a lot of preliminary work, which culminated at a large gathering held in uc tuurt room on last Saturday night It all originated because the milk men

aisausned with the prices paid by distributors during the davs of high cost feeds. The purpo5e of the organization is to own and operate a creamery in Richmond for the distribution of milk, it pasteurization, and for the handling of all dairy products, the buving and selling of eggs, etc., all along the purely co-operative lines. The newcompany may buy out a going concern if one suitable, can be found available or may buy property and build, just as the directory may deem best. They "expect to get fair living prices for their product," which they claim is all they that they have ever asked by co-operative effort, and are talking enthusiastically of the prospects. Are Feeling Optimistic. The men who figured on the sa!" of their dairy herds are not now talking that way. They are feeling optimistic. having confidence that it will pay toV f-tay in business under the workings of " the new deal. They also believe that "consumers will al.o be proportionately benefitted", as one of the directors stated, "and that Richmond will be better off as a result of their co-operative efforts." Just what the directors purpose doing with reference to the new plant can not now be stated. They may or may not recommend the purchase of one of the plant? in use, even should one be found suitable, and on the market. However, time is an element nf

consideration, and this would Insure quicker co-operative action, which is a matter of importance, as many members see it. If. however, it be thought best to buy and build to meet the large requirements of the new enterprise, that will be the result of the steps 5o far taken. EATON TO ORGANIZE PURE BRED CALF CLUB EATON.
