The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The elevator at Crete, Ind., now operated by Geo. P. Bowen & Co., will be taken over by a co-operative com pany of farmers on Sept. 15, according to a statement made by A. J. Murray, living near Crete. Mr. Murray is one of the organizers of the new association and seems to be well pleased with the bargain the farmers have made with the present owners. A number of well-to-do farmers are back of the new venture, and stock Is to be issued for sale to enough members to make a strong organization at the time of the transfer. There are coal bins, and other stor age buildings, also two residnce properties on the site, all of which are included in the deal. The elevator han dles the grain of quite a large terrl tory. It has been furnishing fence, coal, fertilizer, drain tile, etc.. as well as shipping in feed as demand required. Crete Favored With Rain. , Threshing operations are being wound up in the Crete neighborhood, and the machines will go to winter quarters some time this week. No very heavy crops of grain are report ed, although now and then a 25-bushel oats crop was threshed, this coming pretty near the top of the output. "We may have threshed a crop or two running around 30 bushels," said one thresherman, but our runs were mostly 15 to 22 bushels, and the oats ran rather light in weight, as a rule." Crete was tavoreo. wun a Daaiy neeutru lam last ween. imn,n.ivio a fair corn crop, although the dry weather hurt a portion of it. Treking West to Farms.

Each family had a trailer attached to the family car and every convenience for tenting and cooking along the way was provided. Mrs. Barbara Lyons, of Buhl, came on from Idaho to take care of tjie women and children en route, and; Jess Eastman, of the Buhl Chamber! of Commerce, will pick out the roads j and meet reception parties along the 3,000 mile journey.
