COLISEUM FLOORING IS BEING RENEWED
When the skating season opens at the Coliseum Thanksgiving morning
the skating fans will be greeted by a
brand new floor. The Coliseum man
agement is having the new flooring laid this week and it will be complet
ed in a few days. The flooring will be sandpapered soon.
The old flooring had been on the
Coliseum since it was erected in 1902 and was wearing rough in several
places. The old flooring had seen some very rough usage during the
time the old Western polo league
played here. Several other polo
leagues have played since that time

EATON. O., July 25. A strong effort is being made by members of the Preble county farm bureau to secure pure varieties of seed wheat, a meeting being scheduled for Aug. 6 when
the wheat committee, composed of a wheat chairman of each township will J convene to make up the orders for; seed wheat. Communities are agreeing to confine themselves to only one variety of wheat so that there will be no mixing of different varieties by threshing machines, and it is planned to. get certified seed of the varities chosen to start the work. Washington township farmers have agreed to take 200 bushels of certified seed, farmers about Gratis, 150 bushels and Lanier township farmers, 160 bushels.
The, farm bureau of Preble pounty has reports on the financial standing of various stock companies which have stock for sale in Ohio and invites
prospective investors to make use of
its facilities.
There are at Eaton reports on the
following companies:
The Merchants Discount company; The United Financing company; McElrath Tire and Rubber company; Mid-Continent Producers and Refining corporation; Wiger Aeronautical Motor company; Co-operative League of
America; D. W. Griffith, Inc.; The Fidelity Mortgage company; The Cleveland Discount company; The Commercial Manufacturing company; The Union Bond company; The Milan Import and Export company; The Euclid Mortgage company; The State Mutual Hog Insurance company: Silurium Manufacturing company; The Municipal Savings and Loan company; The Buckeye Tractor company; The Wampee Ranch company. This department will investigate any stock for farm bureau members.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 25. The Bureau of the Census, of the department of commerce, announces, subject to correction, the following preliminary figures from the 1920 census
of agriculture for the United States,
with comparative figures for 1910:
Barley. The area of barley harvested in the United States in 1919, according to the Fourteenth Census, was 6,474,462 acres, as compared with 7,698,706 acres in 1909, representing a decrease of 1,224,244 acres, or 15.9 percent. The production of barley in 1919 was 122,060,377 bushels, as compared with 173,344,212 bushels in 1909. The production thus shows a decrease of 51,283,835 bushels, or 29.6 percent. The average yield per acre in 1919 was 18.9 bushels, as against 22.5 bushels in 1909. The states reporting the largest
production of barley in 1919 were Cali
fornia, with 21,897,283 bushels; Minnesota, with J4.849.069 bushels; South Dakota, with 12,818,847 bushels; Wisconsin, with 12,191,861 bushels; and North Dakota, with 12,052,881 bushels. Rye.
The total acreage of rye harvested In 1919 was 7682,708, as compared with 2,195,561 in 1909, representing an increase of 5,487,147 acres, or 249.9
percent. The production of rye in 1919 was 75,774,3.08 bushels, and the production in 1909 was 29,520,457 bushels,, an increase of 46,253,851 bushels, or 156.7 percent. The average yield per acre in 1919 was 9.9 n"hels,- as against 13.4 bushels in 1909. The states of the East and West North Central divisions produced more than five-sixths of the rye harvested in 1919. The leading states in the production of rye in 1919 were North Dakota, with 16,294,377 bush
els; Michigan, with 11,968,182 bushels;
Minnesota, with 8,362.940 bushels: and
Wisconsin, with 6,672,3S3 bushels.
Buckwheat. There were 746,306 acres of buckwheat harvested in the United States in 1919. as compared with 878.048
acres in 1909. This represents a decrease of 131,742 acres, or 15 per cent. The production of buckwheat in 1919 was 12,735,537 bushels, as against 14,849,332 bushels in 1909, representing a decrease of 2,113,795 bushels, or 14.2 per cent. The average yield per acre in 1919 was 17.1 bushels as compared with 16.9 bushels , in 1909.
Indiana Production. The report for Indiana shows 74,329 acres of barley; 350,908 acres of rye
and 6,048 acres of buckwheat, grown in 1919. The production of barley was 1.427,772 bushels; rye, 4.432,091; and of buckwheat-73,260 bushels.
Should any of our farmers happen to meet-up with "Bunn the Baker of Baraboo," in quest of a farm, kindly advise him that he is on the wrong track. There is more money in a 15-cent loaf of bread than profit on 15 bushels of wheat at present prices. The baker who hasn't been making more money on every pan of buns baked in the past 12 months than the average Indiana wheat grower has made on his wheat crop this year, is surely out of luck. Mr. Bunn recently quit the bakery business and by jinks the old Bunn stand, was grabbed by a shoe repair outfit. When done visiting Indiana farm friends Mr. Bunn should head his Packard north, eject the shoe fixers and repaint his signs.
Speaking of buns, when you can
take a bun costing say almost one-
half of a cent, if you happen to bake
it yourself; and deftly split it mrougn the center of gravity, whereat, by layiner one fried ezs between the slices
vou can cash in 15 cents, well say!
With eggs at 20 to 25 cents per doz
en, as recentlv. that transaction
shows a tidy profit. Yes, yes, you are , right; we did overlook the pepper and salt, the interest on ,the money invested in the egg, also the "overhead." But it said that "bread ham and egg" sandwiches have been selling at 20 and 25 cents in Chicago Loop restaurants, for a long time. During high priced days the 15-cent bun ham and cheese sanwich at Chicago could actually be seen at a distance of two feet, if your eyes were normal, mostly showing up like a large speck on the plate. London Man's Opinion. A London grain man who is touring
Canada is quoted by Winnipeg people.
as saying: "mere is so mue grain i in Great Britain and Europe that you may say there are no stocks. The great stores of wheat of which you hear are nonexistent." Any British grain merchant who is nit inspecting ,the grain fields of
Canada should know what he is talking about. If he has been correctly quoted the situation he discloses should affect the price of American wheat, after It gets into the hands of big holders and speculators. Taking all circumstances into account, and in comparison with cost of most manufactured articles, wheat, corn and oats are now the cheapest in the past twenty years.
Armour's Optimistic Review
In their trade review for the past week the Armour house shows its
optimism, as follows: "The stability of the recovery which is being made in the market for packing house food products is further emphasized this week. A significant fact was the added strength which was given to export trade in spite of what outwardly appeared adverse exchange conditions. Hamburg entered the market for purchases for future delivery in considerable quantity, and exports to Great Britain and other points on the continent continue to grow in volume. . "Fresh pork trade was very satisfactory. The demand for all pork cuts was strong and prices advanced. "Beef trade has been slow this week but stocks are being well cleaned up. Collections are good. Ring Threshes 3,708 Bushels Walter Beeson, of Webster, seems
to have been "high man" in his ring.
and most likely also in the township, as far as we have learned. Mr. Beeson had one five-acre field that ran
20 bushels and his crop averaged 17 bushels. Speaking of the outturn in his ring, A. L. Baldwin said: "I believe Mr. Beeson made the best average in our ring. We figured our fields at 250 acres when arranging threshing dates and when that was finished found that we had produced 3,708 bushels. This gave us an aver
age of close to 15 bushels." "Corn isn't doing well up our way. Looks as if some of it will hardly run ten bushels, even if we do have rain. Some, of course, is in better shape, but none of it is any too good. I have 95 pigs and may have to buy corn to feed them, unless we have good rains right soon." Implement Output in 1920.
