Closing arguments by the defense in the baseball trial were finished today and the state began its final plea. Indications were that the 12 judges of fact would begin deliberation late today. John Tyrrell, of the prosecution, waiving his part of the state's closing argument, leaves only George Gorman to speak. The defense wound up its plea with a continuation of the attack on Ban Johnson, president of the American league, repeating the charges that he brought about the base ball scandal inquiry, and tried to ruin Charles Comiskey s Chicago team, tnus cuncning the 1920 pennant for Cleveland. The defended ball players were characterized by Benedict Short, attorney for Chick Gandill, as -'galley slaves of a modern Rome, whose work brought wealth and fame to Johnson, the man who now was using themas a means of obtaining revenge on his enemy. Comiskey." Bill Burns, the state's star witness, was termed a modern Ananias by Mr. Short, who also presented the 1919 world series batting and fielding averages as proof that the defendants played their best.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

A 6hort time ago a feeder could buy corn from his neighbors at 50 to 55 cents a bushel. In fact, a whole lot of corn changed hands at 50 cents. We know of no farmer in Wayne county who would sell his grandmother corn at that price just now, not even the farmers who let go of a few loads to the elevators around half a dollar, to get a little tobacco money. The cause is not far to seek. Ths first reason is an advance of about $4 per hundred on hogs. The next is the condition of the growing corn in this section of Indiana. Feeders who have been picking up pigs are getting anxious about corn. Taking it as a whole there is still considerable old corn in this section. It has been held for better prices or for farm feeding operations. There is a lot of old corn in the Milton district, we are told, it being said that one farmer not far from that town has upwards of 2,000 bushels in his cribs. And there are other spots, of course, where farmers are pretty well supplied. Expects a Fair Crop. Arthur Collins said on Tuesday that so far as could be determined chinch buss had done no damage on his place. He admitted finding, them in. his corn fields and garden but thought his corn too far along now to be in jured. The Collins neighbornooa nas had three fair rains within ten days, and much of the corn in that district has withstood the drouth, coming out in good shape. He is now figuring on at least an average crop. The Collins home lies a mile due east of Fountain City and is within the radius favored with more rain tnan most wdyue farms were blessed with in June and July. A lot of thrifty red hogs were noted on the Collins farm, an indication that this young fanner has a market for his corn in his own feed lots. The Farmer's Tomatoes "We have right smart of tomatoes in mir his tarden. more than we callculate to eat and can," said the farmer, as ne aroppea into a numi office. "You're a lucky man," was our rejoinder. "How do you figure that out?" asked the old man. "Do you sunDose I can get 30 cents a pound for them, sech as wife and me seen them priced in the papers, u you ao vou are off on the wrong foot." "Have you tried to sell some to matoes?" we asked. "You bet your boots, we have. And say! How much do you think I got for them. Six cents a pound and not a mite more. They was nice and round and just ripe enough to keep a few days in any cool place. They're as good or better than town folks Dav 30 cents for. as the papers tell it, or I miss my guess. They wasn't picked green and shipped hundreds of miles, either." A 10 to 12 Bushel Average One threshing outfit in New Gar den township reports that most of its wheat averaged from 10 to 12 busneis per acre, with now and then one ri 15 bushe s. C. H. Knoll, a member of the ring spoken of, threshed one Held giving a 23 bushel yield, this Deing; the top for the township, so far as we are yet advised. This was a large ring, with a farmer-owned rig, and the manager says that very few oats fields ran as high as 20 bushels. A number of . farmers marketed both wheat and oats at the Fountain City elevator, direct from the machine. Every Shower Helps "We haven't had as much rain in Boston township as has been reported from some other sections," said Jesse Druley on Monday evening. A light rain was falling at that hour in Richmond and he expressed the hope that it would prove to be a general, oldfashioned rain, which is so badly needed. He said that the showers which fell last week helped corn but a real rain was needed down his way to insure a fair crop, and that late planted corn would be cut short with-! out it. Mr. Druley said that he had disposed of most of his fat hogs but had a goodly bunch of spring pigs coming along. No Second Crop Clover. With reference to pastures and second crop clover Mr. Druley stated that he knew of no green pastures, nor of any prospects for second crops of clover anywhere in this section. "This means," said he, "that we shall have to import our clover seed from some more fortunate locality." Has 300 Head on Feed. Harold, Jordan, a progressive young farmer who is farming the F. M. Boren place in New Garden township this year, seems to be "in the hog business right" having around 300 head on feed, also a lot of spring pigs to come along later. Mr. Jordan is backing his faith in the great American hog by the purchase of considerable corn just now. He has quite a large acreage of corn in and will have mighty good use for all he may happen to raise this dry year. His corn Is reported as making a good showing, so far. Hogs at the State Fair. The showing of hogs at the state largest ever made in Indiana. It would be hopeless to try to hold prize contests in each breed each day, so Mr. Phillips has set aside a day for each breed. With the pig clubs disposed of on Monday, the judging scheduled for WHEAT SCREENINGS $1.50 Per Cwt 0MER G. WHELAN The Feed Man , 31-33 So. 6th St. Phone 1679

CENTER TOWNSHIP WANTS DOLAN BACK CENTERVILLE, Ind., Aug. 2. The regular monthly gathering of the Cen ter Township Farmer's association was turned into an Indignation meeting Monday evening when Dan Medearis, Center township trustee, reported the action of the board. Illegality of the. action of the board was charged by Trustee Medearis on grounds of allowing Mr. Williams to vote verbal proxies without any written authority. Mr. Medearis said that he believed that the association could contest "the resul: of the election if they so chose. Members in attendance at the meeting praised Dolan loudly saying that he had been the means of helping them to save $2,000 in that township ciuuc, ut-smes oeing doubling the size of the pig club vocatin rmnitrv iiiT, wheat smut elimination, and assisting in forminz rorn vfM rAnt&or inKa i me county. "If we have to change to a different agent every year," said one farmer, "we will never be able to get anywhere. All this work is just well started and it will fail if Dolan goes." The association adopted a resolution commending .Trustee Medearis for his stand during the board meeting, regretting the action of the board of education, and -calling upon the farmers to await the advice of the farm bureau directors who meet Wednesday, and to act upon it.

i PRIMARY WHEAT RECEIPTS IN JULY TOTAL

67,000,000 BU CHICAGO MARKET REVIEW

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Every farmer knows that Chicago is our greatest speculative grain market, and that it is constantly furnishing surprises to the rest of the country. There were two of these surprises sprung at Chicago last week. Cash and July rye. for the first time in the history of the trade, sold higher than July wheat. With July wheat at $1.23 at the close on Saturday cash and July rye was selling at $1.32, and averaged 10 cents per bushel over wheat all that day. This was owing, of course, to a speculative condition. Surprise number two was the receipts of actual grain at Chicago for the month of July. Take wheat, for example. Chicago received 17,349.000 bushels of wheat in July, against but 2,562,000 last July. Doesn't that suggest that Chicago actually does handle a whole lot of real wheat, aside and apart from speculative deals? It also tells of free marketing from the farms, at a full dollar or more per bushel under last year's July and cash prices. As a matter of fact receipts of wheat in July at primary markets were 66,926,000 bushels this year, compared with less than $30,000,000 in July, 1920. Actual Receipts and Deliveries. In addition to the sales and deliver-

ad-iies frora the samP,e tables from dav to day let us see how much grain was

also actuallv delivered at Chicago on sppcuiauve contracts. wen, iui tuc month of July we find that these totaled as follows: Wheat, 1.917,000; Corn. 2,210,000; oats, 3,902,000. and rye, 970,000 bushels. Then, too. the deliveries of lard and meats must not be overlooked. The deliveries of lard alone footed up 18,455.000 pounds, this in addition to the daily shipping and export transactions. A careful consideration of the actual business done annually by the members of the Chicago Board of Trade, and of the world-wide prestige these transactions give to the city by the lake, very reasonably explains why the press of Chicago is unanimous in its efforts to combat all legislation, either state or national, designed to "put the board out of business." America the Cheapest Market The receipts of wheat, old and new, have been so tremendous during the past sixty days, that it is almost a wonder that prices have been maintained at the figures which have prevailed. The country has been selling, rather than buying wheat during that time. Very little country money has been used to support the markets for several months.
