The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Cutting of oats is well underway in Texas. The yield is not up to expectations in several districts, running only 20 to 26 bushels in some areas, but much better in spots. ' Texas corn and cotton said io look promising. Advices are that corn is doing well in Indiana and Illinois, except for home sections of Indiana where rain was needed at the end of last week. We understand that some fields in the Richmond radius have already been replanted, where sun-wilt and cut worms made this necessary. The dry spots have been needing not showers but generous, old-fashioned rains, soakers of pastures and fillers of wheat and oats. Federal Land Banks Washington advices are to the effect that the secretary of the treasury is of the opinion that the federal land banks, and the joint stock banks of the farm loan system, are not founded on sound principles. Just what is lacking he did not tell the senate com mittee, when he appeared to support j the bill authorizing the treasury to deposit $50,000,000 with the federal land banks to increase their working capital. "If the question were as to the. desirability of the establishment of these land banks it would be different," said Secretary Mellon, "but you have the banks here for a purpose. I They are here and the government ; auuuiu &ee LUdi Liivy iuuvuuu. "My views are that the system of the government backing the federal land banks and joint stock land banks is not sound in principle." Important Farm Conference A most important meeting of farmers with the secretaries of agriculture and commerce was billed for June 13 at Washington and is presumably now in session. The meeting will discuss the grain warehousing system, the extension of credits to farmers and cooperative grain handlers. These plans will be of nation wide interest, because of their ultimate effect upon consumers and upon the great elevator and board of trade interests of the country. Whatever may develop at this meeting, and regardless of future happenings, the plan of the committee of seventeen 1 c miTal v a n OYnpri mpnr wmrn manvt thnnp-htfnl mpn arp willine- to Rfrftt triH rtiit Vift nnr! verv pffi very efficient

management will be necessarv forinS sreen, tall and thick. Not far success, together with ample funds ; south three fields were noted, no two

and credit facilities. This predicates a chance for failure. To Discuss Cattle Loans A number of bankers from the live stock regions of the country are to meet in Chicago next Wednesday, June 15 to decide upon the best methods for relieving the live stock situation. This action was recently decided on at a meeting held in which the secretary' of the treasury participated. The big men in banking circles, federal reserve men and members of the finance corporation attended the meeting from which the call for the Chicago meeting was sent out. Plenty of Old Hay. If the bureau of market reporters are correct there must be a very large tonnage of old hay in the country. They say that farm stocks are "about 100 per cent larger than last year." Market receipts of hay have been light of late but there was enough coming in to supply the demand. Many farmers will be glad to have a surplus of old hay, because of lack of rain and the shortening of pasture and hay crops in the dry districts, No. 1 timothy was bringing $30 in New York, $23 at Chicago, and $19 at Minneapolis most of last week. The Crop Estimates. The scare that boomed wheat a short time since and was in effect at the time of the settlement of the May deals, has pretty well subsided. The greatest anxiety now concerns the coming harvest weather. Recent rains have increased the yields of wheat in many sections, enough so in most places to offset losses from various

pests. This is most marked in Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, where every crop indication favors 200,000,000 bushels and up. Some rust is noted in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, but not to any serious extent, says the Modern Mill er. Hession fly infestation in these states is greater than indicated some time back, but general prospects in the territory are substantially better than last year." Spring wheat prospects are the best ever. This is most encouraging, for there should be need and sale for all the wheat we can spare. With Chicago, cash wheat bringing from $1.60 for No. 4 hard to $1.68 for No. 1; with Minneapolis paying up to $1.67 for No. 1 northern spring, against $1.78 for that grade in Chicago, there is no cheap cash wheat on offer anywhere on the western map. Consider, then, July new wheat at $1.35 to $1.37 and the Chicago September option going at from $1.17 to $1.20. These option figures look low as compared to cash prices on the sample tables. But futures are always discounted for harvest offerings, when those who must sell are inclined to let wheat go at whatever price offered. It is just this condition that the U. S. Grain Growers of the farm bureau hope to combat, when ready for action in a national way. There is no trading in August delivery wheat in any market. WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL MAKE OR BREAK WHEAT CROP SHORTLY By WILLIAM R. SANBORN What of the harvest? What may or may not happen to winter wheat in the next ten to twenty days? This is the one absorbing question today. It takes precedence over board of trade legislation in congress, or the fate of the Lantz bill in Illinois. It is of nation-wide importance. In a Sunday trip north along the Arba pike the difference in the stands of wheat was most marked. Two large fields owned by John Murphy were n almost ideal condition, stand alike. The yield will be light in these fields, even with rain enough to make the fill; in one field of 16 acres the stand was both thin and short. And so the fields run for miles, the same uneven conditions being noted along the Fountain City and Lynn pike. It seems largely a matter of the showers that have fallen, here and there. There is a farm north of, and a little east of Fountain City, where the ground has not yet been in condition for corn planting, while the farm adjoining on the north has had two liberal rains, not a drop of which seemed to have fallen scuth of its boundaries. One farmer told us on Sunday of a strip of country near his farm where quite heavy rains fell over a strip about one-quarter of a mile in width, and say a mile or so long, while outside of that area it remained as dry as tinder. No General Rains Anywhere. No section of eastern Indiana has had a general rain in weeks. For ex ample, three showers fell over Fountain City on Saturday afternoon and evening. From that section it seemed as if the sky was full of water all over the county. Well, a Center township farmer stated on Monday that not a drop of rain fell Saturday, or in the evening on his farm or on any farm in sight. Joseph Blose, of the bank at Centerville, says that possibly a tin cup fell on the gardens of Centerville, Saturday evening. In the meanwhile a good rain is reported from the Conrersville district that night. Mr. Blose says that early corn properly attended looks well but the late

corn is "in hard lines" in most instances. Oats and pastures are cut for

lack of water, and some farmers in Center and Boston townships are beginning to worry about wheat. The bank at Boston says there was no rain tijere Saturday, simply a brief sprinkling of no benefit. Farmers are complaining and are watching the skies from day to day, hopeful of a change in weather. Rains Will Still Help. It is not too late for good rains to be of material benefit ' here, as has happened in the southwest grain districts. In some of these there have been very heavy rains and wheat prospects have materially improved. There are always pessimists and some of these have been fearing damage from a wet harvest. So far as our observation shows there is a surprising lot of good corn standing. One Franklin township farmer says his corn is looking fine, says he can scarcely account for it either, and that rain or no rain it keeps on growing. We have a record of one 30 acre corn field which scarcely got a thimbleful of water for six straight weeks last summer, but it made close to a 40 bushel average, in some spots more. Good rains will do a world of good to our gardens, and will give us a heavy yield of raspberries and black berries, a matter of some importance in the absence of various tree fruits. There seems to be a few grapes wherever there are vines, but no abundant crop in sight ajiywhere in Wayne county. Still Dry at Eldorado. "A light shower Saturday evening, but not enough water to lay the dust," is the report from the bank at Eldorado, Ohio. The cashier says that conditions are hard on tobacco planters, many being yet unable to get their land in shape for transplanting. Williamsburg and Economy. Will Lewis, of the First National at Williamsburg, spoke optimistically of conditions at Williamsburg. He s'ays they had a refreshing rain Saturday evening and that the shower spread nortn to iiconomy, where stm more water fell. Mr. Lewis says that most of the corn in his section was planted early, and that, taken as whole, corn is looking fine up his way. "A little more rain on Saturday would have been very acceptable," said he, "but as it was it was of great benefit." STAR PLAYERS GONE, LYNN NINE DEFEATED LYNN, Ind., June 13 The Lynn Independent baseball team was defeated by the Ridgevilie nine on the Ridgeville diamond Sunday afternoon by the score of 10 to 4. Lynn made a very poor showing in this game, being without the services of several of her star players. It was her first defeat of the season. The team has been going along at a lively clip and has one of the best pitchers in this section of the country in McCracken, a big right hander. He has worlds of stuff on the ball and has a fast one that seems to hop just before reaching the batter. McCracken has been signed for a tryout with the Cedar Rapids team. McCoy also is oue with a broken leg.

WILLIAMS INSPECTS SMUT TREATING PLANT A trip to Rushville was made today by Charles Williams, president of the Wayne County Grain Growers asspciation, for the purpose of inspecting a smut treating plant for seed wheat, which is located in that city. Mr. Williams was accompanied by Mr. J. L. Dolan, county agricultural agent. It is possible that a visit will be made also to Greenfield, where another treating plant is located. It was decided when the farm bureau directors planned their program of work for the organization, that several smut treating plants should be installed in the country, in order to lessen the loss from smut. Some sections of the county are suffering especial damage from wheat smut this year, which would be prevented by treating the seed wheat. Mr. Williams' inspection trip is for the purpose of levking over the plants before his organization starts installation of them in this county. FRANKLIN FARMER'S MEETING.
