HEAVY RECEIPTS OF GRAIN LOWER VALUES AT CHICAGO MARKET (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 23 Big receipts, together with indications that the movement from rural sources would remain heaw for some time, have pulled down values in the wheat marnet tnis week. Prices this morning compared with a week ago, showed a fall of 6 cents to 9 cents a bushel. Corn was i cent off to cent up. Oats unchanged to to cent lower, and provisions varying from 35 cents decline to 10 cents advance. With arrivals of wheat in Chicago on one day totalling 1,200 cars and with similar conditions at St. Louis and Kansas City, bears had an advantage that was hard to meet, especially as signs pointed to a larger yield in Kansas and Oklahoma than official estimates had given reason to expect Allay Drought Fear Cooler temperatures prevailing tendered to allay fears of increased damage to the spring sown crop and there was question at times as to whether, in view of storage congestion here, railroad embargoes against grain shipments to Chicago could be entirely escaped. On the other hand export business, the volume of which was difficult to gauge, led to frequent rallies. In this connection it was urged that whereas Europe, this season would apparently require more wheat than last year the United States could not spare so much and that the tariff made Canadian imports unlikely. Liberal shipments from here together with some dry weather complaints steadied the corn market. Oats were eased a llttlo by movements of the new crop. German buying of lard strengthened that commodity, but meats averaged lower in the absence of any special demand. NEW YORK, July 23. Extreme dullness characterized the week in the stock market. Dealings were in smallest volume of any like period this year and fluctuations were in keeping with the listless trading. Another reduction of discounts,, by the principal reserve banks and Con current action by the Bank of England pointed to asier money and credit conditions but were without apparent influence as market factors. Operators also ignored proposed changes in the Fordney tariff bill, although these bore pertinently upon the capital issues of many popular companies, notably those in the oil, cotton and leather industries. Authoritative advices from leading centers of trade and industry emphasized a more hopeful feeling. The steel industry was a striking exception, however, more unfavorable statements of earnings for the vear'a cop. ond quarter being issued. Kaii3 most often were dulk but maintained a fine undertone. Approvably the railways PXer-llHvea nf Ilia administration's funding plan is expeciea to taciiitate legislation for their financial relief. Conclusion of one of RAvorai t .-in jected commercial credits to German interests was the noteworthy feature of the International financial situation. Exchanges on London and most continental points were in croa Klrxlv ra. actionary, however, albeit actual deal ings were nominal. COMPLETE PLANS FOR FALL STOCK EXHIBIT AT FRIDAY MEETING CENTERVILLE, Ind., July 23.

CULLING OF POULTRY TO BE DEMONSTRATED THROUGHOUT COUNTY Poultry culling demonstrations will be held in all townships of Wayne county, if intentions of the county agent J. L. Dolan, are fulfilled. . It is expected that more than one demonstration will be held in some of the townships, in fact The county agent is now engaged in locating suitable flocks for the demonstrations which will begin about the middle of August ami mav ho late as September. t)n account of the great number of farms in the pressed a desire to have flocks culled. Mr. ixian has found it impossible to answer all culling requests personally. In order, therefore, that fa rmor: mav have the opportunity to observe the metnoas or nnamg the nonproducers in their flocks, eulline: nf t 1 flock in each township will be put on as a demonstration. Each demonstration will be held at some central point and win ho an nounced through the papers, by post caras ana Dy telephone. Flocks of the Rock. Leehorn. or Wvnnrtntto v.c are preferred, because of the more marked color characteristics, and for unnormity or these and other characteristics pure breds will be chosen. All chickens in the demonstration flocks will be shut up the day before the demonstration. The culled chickens will be held under for observation for a . week after the culling and a record kept of the egg yield of both the culled hens and those which are retained. This record wiir be compared with a similar record of the egg yield before culling. An assistant will be present from Purdue for some of the demonstrations. Mr. Dolan particularly recommends that farmers as well as their wives, pay attention to the production of the farm flock, pointing out that the farm flock always has been the most profitable of all livestock, and that it was the only branch of farm production that paid a profit last year.

WHEAT YIELD LIGHT SAY OHIO REPORTS COLUMBUS, O.. July 23. Many fields of wheat in Ohio are not yielding more than five to six bushels per acre and but few fields are reported at more than 20 bushels per acre, according to reports received by C. J. West, agricultural sta t i st i c ian. Threshing is about half done taking the state as a whole and the average quality is from 75 to 80 percent. There is universal complaint that wheat is turning out generally poor compared with the straw owing to the shortness of the heads and to the low quality of the grain. The charge for threshing runs from six to 10 cents per bushel with a state-wide average of seven and one-half cents. The quality of the oats threshed is reported as inferior in many sections of the state and with low yields. Numerous reports have been received of oats fields allowed to stand without cutting. The drouth has seriously affected corn in certain sections of the state, though in parts of the state, notably the southeastern, the rainfall has been ample for the growth of corn. Chinch bugs are reported in northwestern counties. New Paris Club Receives 4 New Members Wednesday NEW PARIS. O., July 23. A camp supper was the chief feature of the B. G. I.

EXORBITANT INTEREST COMMISSIONS, CHARGE OF CERTAIN FARMERS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July 23. Charging that as high as 15 per cent commission for farm loans is extorted by bankers in some parts of the state, with a few instances of interest rates as high as 38 per cent E. E. Reynolds, treasurer of the Indiana Federation of Farmers associations, said Friday that he would not hesitate to place all the facts before the public as soon as he could get proofs of the truth of such conditions. Evidence on which Mr. Reynolds based his charges is found in the reports of the community hearings held by farm bureaus in the state. Theses hearings were conducted at the re- 4 quest of the national farm bureau to y ascertain farm conditions for the information of the congressional committee on agriculture. In such cases as were mentioned, bankers had said that they were unable to obtain the money until the excessive rates were agreed to, when loans would be made from private sources, according to the testimony. Payment of refunds to Indiana farmrrs on fertilizer bought through the Federated Marketing Service was begun Friday. F. W. Boyle, of the marketing service, estimated that a total of $2,350 will be refunded. The fertilizer was ordered by the farmers early in the season, with the understanding that they were to have the benefit of price reductions made later in the season.
