. GRAIN rbUCZa Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. - CHICAGO, July 15 September j wheat at $1.26 - compared with ' 5134 as the July 15th top. Crop news a standoff. Wheat receipts very large but local crowd excited over further reports of drastic drought and feed seeds abroad and bullish long distance talk of $1.50 or higher for wheat. Canadian wheat crop looks 280,000,000. Argentine buys a million wheat for seed. Kansas City cash wheat one to three lower. Lower grades 7 lower. Corn crowd consider the nice rains over the belt discounted. Forecast fair and somewhat cooler. Oats threshing returns bullish. If locals follow their long distance ideas they will buy wheat. Corn and oats are cheap. Apparently nothing to discount. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, July 19.

Hay, formerly of Dog 'Walk, Tennessee, who states his home county corn fields practically have been stripped by the ravages of the chinch bugs. In some places there, according to Mr. Hay, who is an employe of the Pennsy roundhouse here, the bugs are so thick it was found necessary for the railroads to use snow plows and flangers to clear the deep cuts of the pests, who swarmed there in such numbers as to stall trains. MANY CROPS DAMAGED BY REGENT DROUGHT; CORN NEEDS SHOWERS INTMANAPOLIS, Ind., July 19. Considerable damage to all growing crops resulted from the hot weather last week, says George C. Bryant, agricultural statistician for the co-operative crop reporting service, in his weekly review of Indiana farm conditions. Corn on sandy soils in the southern part of the state generally is fired, and wheat, rye and oats yield3 are poor. The report, in part, follows: "Practically all -corn is tasseled. Firing is general on sandy soils in the southern counties and all fields are suffering for rain. "Winter wheat yields have been ery disappointing in all parts of the state, ranging from three to thirty bushels. The whole crop will hardly make an average grade of No. 3. "Many fields, of spring wheat have been abandoned. Oats Yield Reduced. "Oats cutting is completed. Yield has been materially reduced by ex tremely hot weather, and the quality is poor, as a general rule. Rye yields did not come up to expectations.

The Farm and The Farmer . By William R. Sanborn

The Morgan and Creiger rig threshed for C. B. George in Center township, starting in the first thing on Monday morning. This busy outfit threshed the old E. K. Wilson ring last week, and reports an odd field running as low as 8 bushels, the range mostly being from 10 to 15 bushels, with now and then a field making around 20. They are to thresh one of the Dock Thomas rings this week. The mill at Hagerstown reports the demand for flour as only fair. No oats have been received at the mill so far on this crop, but between 10,000 and 11,000 bushels of wheat have come in to date. They were paying $1.13 for wheat all day on Monday but said they were likely to shade this a trifle on Tuesday, owing to the let down in prices at central markets since Satur day. A little rye has been received at the Green's Fork elevator, not more than 300 bushels, aa yet. They were bidding $1.07 for rye on Tuesday. The manager of the elevator reports a fair percentage of No. 1 wheat and says they paid $1.15 for No. 2 Monday fore noon. He says that the oats coming are rather light and have been bought for 30 cents, mostly. He indicated that $1.10 would be about the best hej could pay for wheat on Tuesday, unless his bids came in higher than expected. Nearly 18,000 bushels have been bought at Green's Fork. Changes in Wheat Prices The wheat market slowed down locally and the price dropped as much as 3 cents per bushel at various points in the Richmond radius on Monday afternoon. The Richmond Roller mills paid $1.13 for wheat taken in Monday forenoon, and dropped to $1.10 in the afternoon. This also was the record at the Champion mills elevator, we understand. Charles Carpenter said Monday evening that he had quoted farmers who were to thresh on Tuesday, $1.10 for that day's deliveries, or for their crops, as the case might be. Juiv wheat which ranged from $1 17a' to S1.35U. at Chicago last weeK, and closed at $1.26. This very natnrallv affected country markets, sev eral of which lowered their prices. We are havlnar a weather market just now, not only on wheat out on an small grains. The Price at Eldorado Fred Schlientiz, of Eldorado, says that the bulk of the wheat in his. Immediate neighborhood already is threshed and that some rigs are now in the oats fields.. He stated that most of the oats were reported light and that 30 cents per bushel was all he could afford to pay at this time. Threshing rates vary in Preble, wheat charges being 7 and 7 cents and on oats 4 to 4 cents per bushel, machine measure. "Wheat is running from 10 to 15 bushels," said Mr. Schlientz. "and we paid $1.15 for No. 2 all day Monday. Our corn is in good shape, for it has had all the rain needed lately." Modoc Paying Top Prices "We R9.id $115 for No. 1 wheat on

This report was made by thei thousands of dollars on buildings to

manager of the elevator at aioaoc omnouse his $300,000 herd of Holstein

Monday evening. He says tnat considerable wheat is now coming In daily and that corn is badly in need of rain. Dr. Eliot Talks Co-operation Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, and by common consent the dean of American life, letters and education, is now in his 88th year. President Eliot recently contributed a page to Farm and Home from which we excerpt the following paragraph: "The attention of American farmers, old and young, should be steadily di rected to two subjects of prime im-: portance, first, to co-operative buying, and selling, the reform which in forty j years converted Denmark from a poorj country into a rich one ; and secondly, ; to farm federation by counties and states, partly for economic purposes, but more for educational and social purposes and for promoting health and sanitation, both physical and moral." High Spot on Local Wheat. Harley Billman, in charge of the elevator at New Madison, tells us that he paid $1.18 for No. 2 wheat Monday morning but on the weakness at central markets later in the day he cut his price to $1.15. This still left him the high man in a considerable radius. Mr. Billman says the tendency is to market direct from the machines and that he knows of but a half dozen crops so far threshed that have been stored. ' "They are just beginning to thresh oats over here," said Mr. Billman. "We have been paying 34 cents for old and 32 cents for new oats, but these figures j are a little high when it comes to shipping and we will have to pay less if oats are delivered on Tuesday."
