GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER V CO 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO. April 20. We believe July "wheat at $1.00 Just about discounts 98 per cent of the nine months bear news for the moment. While crop news continues good, wheat may continue a bulge sale, but let us respect old American dollar mark. Chicago public elevator stocks are nothing at 43,000. The May July -wheat spread may widen to 23 to 24 cents once more. The May July spread has narrowed to 2 cents on buying of May against July sales by cash bouses who have sold near three million corn to get out before May 15. There are scattered reports of wheat damage, but are not extensive so far. We expect a better class of support on small dips. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The Farmers' new marketing organization of the American farm federation has elected permanent officers at a meeting held in Chicago. This could not be done until incorporation had been effected, which was arranged on Monday. C. H. Gustafson, president of the Committee of Seventeen, becomes the head of the new U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., and J. M. Anderson, of St. Paul, was selected first vice president. George C. Jewett, of Spokane, Wash., 1 is second, and C. H. Hyde of Alva, Okla., third vice president. W. G. Eckhardt of DeKalb, Illinois, fills the important office of treasurer, and Frank Meyers, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, was chosen secretary. The meeting now on at Chicago w ill probably last for a week or ten days. Divisions of organization, finance, information, legal, sales and pooling have already been arranged. The executive committee remains to be appointed and a thousand details are yet to be worked out The regional directory of 21 members were appointed at the close of the session for ratification of the "plan." The members of this directory are still in Chicago, taking part in the conferences, at the close of which they will return to their individual fields to get into action. A Great Responsibility. In reviewing the details of the work to be accomplished. President Gustafson said: "I am becoming more and more convinced of the responsibility which rests upon each individual member of the board. We must pro-i ceea wun naste. and we must bear in mind that each point of importance must be thoroughly analyzed before we pass upon it." An adequate scheme to finance the sales plan will be among the first batch of knotty problems the official VrQ Tf1 will VlAVA m fw. 1..2 afuT .rtivitlp n -th- rZL iU"' AS J rhtlLn ,m l by centers ,n -.nicago offices are to be secured as quickly as possible and they hope to ciose a lease during the week. Option Trading at Liverpool For the first time since the war option trading in grain was permitted on Monday at Liverpool. The first future trading is for October delivery wheat, and the price et current rates of exchange is $1.50 per bushel in our currency. The British government continues to quote daily prices for wheat in the British Isles, based on international wheat market values, wheat being a world market proposition. The British government's supply of wheat, in all positions, much of it afloat, is now about 60,000,000 bushels, a fairly liberal advance supply. Canadians Fear American Tariff. Fear of what the tariff may do to Canadian wheat resulted in a break of 7 cents at Winnipeg on Monday. This was followed by a break of 5 to 6 cents in our grain markets, which seems unreasonable. The tariff on wheat is designed to keep out importations. From that viewpoint whv should American markets break in sympathy with those of Canada. As a matter of fact the cutting out of this competition should stimulate our prices, or why any tariff on grain? Just the same, Chicago May wheat sold down from $1.30i,i to $1.24, closed on the low of the day and sold down to $1.20 on Tuesday. Southern Indiana farmers have considerable corn in the ground. Recent frosts did some damage to jointed wheat as the crop is about two weeks early in that section. Very First Farm Bureau. The original farm bureau was organized as an adjunct to the Binghampton. New York, chamber of commerce, in March 1911. This county farm buI chants of Binghampton and was i th-3 Phe plans and purposes of the present aggregation of federations and bureaus have little in common with the original.

eign wool at that, judging from American wool prices. Foreign wools have been imported freely on account of the fear of the effects of the emergency tariff. Much of this wool, however, has not been purchased outright by our importers, but has been consigned by foreign owners to secure entry before the new tariff becomes effective. Less Mail-Order Buying. A Chicago mail-order house has passed the May Quarterly dividend on its common stock, which will save over $2,000,000 to the concern, or at the rate of $8,400,000 per year. The depreciation in merchandise prices, and the falling off in trade because of the farmer's inability to buy, because of his own losses, accounts for the cutting out of the May dividend on the $105,000,000 of common stock. Dividends have been paid regularly Bince 1909. and since May, 1917, have been at the rate of 8 per cent.

WARM MARCH CLIMATE MYSTERY TO OFFICIALS OF WEATHER BUREAU

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 20. Causes underlying the unusually warm weather of early spring this year remain a mystery to weather bureau officials But reports show, they say, that March was one of the warmest in the history of the country, breaking all known records for high temperatures at some weather bureau stations in the east. One contributing reason for the high March record, they stated was the succession of bright, clear days during a month when, blustery windi. clouds and storms usually prevail. But what caused this succession of bright, clear days, Climatological division is unable to determine. Pressure is Factor. One cause of usual cold March weather is said to be the sharp difference frequently prevailing in baremetric pressure. This feature evidently was missing this season, although complete records had not as yet been compiled. Cold weather often resulted, it was said, from a high barometric pressure in the colder regions of the north which created an air "hill" down which cold air poured, like water running down hill, upon the United States. During the cold winter of 1917-1S. it was pointed out, air pressures were extremely high in Alaska, building up a "hill" from which slid icy winds from the snow fields, bringing one of America's coldest winters. Vegetation Far Advanced. Vegetation this March advanced far beyond its usual growth and throughout the fruit regions of the middle west and southeast, a short freeze nipped many buds, causing what was thought at first to be disastrous damage to far-reaching proportions. Later inspection of trees, however, it was reported, showed that the frost had not damaged fruit to such an appreciable extent. Although January and February also warm throughout much of the middle west and east, they were record breakers in no sense of the word, the weather bureau reporting many warmer winters. The far west winter, as indicated by San Francisco reports was not unusual. December and February being slightly warmer, with January colder than normal.
