TINCHER SAYS GRAIN '

MEN ARE BLUFFING WASHINGTON, May 17. The statement of Joseph P. Griffin, president "of the Chicago Board of Trade, that the board may withdraw from business if the bill passed by the house to regulate dealings in grain futures becomes j a law, was characterized Monday by rnrpsetitative Tincher. Reoubliean. Kansas, author of the measure, as a "bluff." "This is an attempt on the part of the grain exchange to tell congress what it can and can not do," Mr. Tincher said. Mr. Tincher charged that the grain exchange men had changed their stand on the bill. "When they were here before the agricultural committee and were confronted with the facts of the evils of the existing condition," he said, "they could not do otherwise than say 'we welcome legislation." but when they get home and are besieged by the manipulating, gambling element of the trade, they have to find some excuse for fighting the legislation." GOVERNOR HARDING ON FARMING TOUR (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The grain and live stock farmers have cause to bemoan their losses through declining prices but the cotton growers have suffered still greater declines in their product, 300 per cent or mnrfi in snmp instances Re cause of depression in the cotton states the war finance orporation has ! V approvea an apicaiion ior a, I 000,000 to be advanced in connection with shipment of cotton to foreign ports. It is also announced that $1,600,000 has been advanced against cotton already exported. The last $2,000,000 is to be advanced against contracts made for October to December shipments. Meat Packing in Argentina American and British packers in the Argentines are seriously considering closing down all their plants. A succession of strikes and the public demand for restrictive laws are the prime cause of this action. The strikes have been almost ceaseless and spme sort of a labor conflict is a matter of daily occurrence. One large British plant has been closed and its staff discharged, and one of the largest American plants seems now about to follow suit. The farmers lay the. blame for the low price of cattle to manipulations of the packers, while the latter contend that the slump in foregin demand for, dressed meat is the cause for the low prices. A number of foreign plants in South American countries have been closed during the past year, nor will they be feet and neck, makes me feel, as I proves. There are American packing plants in a number of South American countries, in all of which the industry has been hampered by strikes, also restrictive legislation. Endorses F. T.

Just what may accruo later with an increased volume of business may not now be determined. As it is we know of no organizations that are more liberal than the farm bureaus in the matter of salaries. Returning to Our Mutton. But to return to our mutton, as they say in England, if the marketing of grain and live stock and the buying of train leads of coal and fertilizer, the supplying of farmers with seeds, etc., are not "commercial activities," then we are at a loss to explain what commercial activities really are.

BARBERRY BUSHES SLUMP FROM 13,000 TO 2.000JN PREBLE EATON. O., May 17 A decrease in the number of barberry bushes in Preble county from 13,000 at the last census completed In 1920, to 2,000. in the 1921 is the result shown by a count just finished by a representative of the United States department of agriculture, working in Preble county in co-operation with the county agent and the farm bureau. The common barberry (not the Japanese variety) is the host to the black stem rust which affects wheat, materially reducing its yield, and aroi,m4 Lewisburg it has heretofore been -J serious menace to wheat fields.

Some evidences of both the root rot and

dead corn were found, however, in seed not chosen and cared for according to recommendations. Children Enroll Over 50 children have been enrolled in the six pig clubs of the county, and liberal prizes have been offered by various organizations and individuals of the county. The Duroc Jersey hog breeders have agreed to refund the purchase price of a Duroc Jersey first prize winner, which offer is duplicated by the Poland China men. These offers are in the nature of a special prize besides the trip to Columbus and other regular prizes that will be won by club members.
