GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A CO, 212 Union National o-r.n. Building. ! CHICAGO. Ang. 6 - Further tadifforent attention to the buying side of all grains today with new Iowa , in corn. Illinois Banker wires us that corn and oats must turn Bhortly or farmer will suffer further severe loss. There is a little bullish news from ; Canada but the general wheat news to-, day shows little change. Export . demand seems curtailed by the diffi-j culty in arranging credits. Over the j vk nA a further wheat dip is like-i ly Monday on large week end receipts but corn and oats look too cheap for any serious pressure. On Monday we expect covering by grain shorts.

The sources of information of your reporter, who wrote the article, are sufficiently evident, so much so that I would not take the trouble to controvert this statement, whose purpose is manifest, had I not been urged to do so by a number of the women who will support me at the polls. The woman vote is a more or less unknown quantity, but, as a political writer on the newspaper of this city for the past 15 years, I fancy I have a fair enough knowledge of the local situation to say that the majority of the women, of the city will vote for me. Each candidate will have his woman supporters and I am not unaware of the fact that there are women who are working actively against me. I know why they are doing bo and who they are. But thi3 bothers me not in the least since it would not be human to expect anything else. But when a reporter uses this latter course of information to make a blanket statement to the effect that the women of the city will not vote for me, I take issue and do so at the behest of a large number of women voters who will do so.

THAIS OauiCEO HE lt CHICAGO HOG MARKET RECOVERS SATURDAY FROM FRIDAY BREAK By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The men who had heavy hogs on the Chicago market on Friday, met with considerable disappointment. In view of recent almost steadily advancing markets, slight recessions were in order, and were expected. After the breaks of Wednesday and Thursday one might look for at least steadiness, or an upturn, and this evidently was the opinion of shippers, for hogs came in freely, making the supply greater than the demand, especially as to heavies. Dollar Drop Is Seen. Sad to relate, some heavy packing hogs at Chicago actually sold $1 lower than at the high time Thursday, a few loads selling down to $8.25, at the close of the day. The top on Mghts at $10.95 was 35 cents under Thursday's top of $11.30. The preponderance of heavy hogs made the day's average price $9.80. 60 cents off from the previous day and the lowest average since July 20. Fifteen thousand hogs were left in the pens, mostly on ordc.ia to hold. from the country. Including 34,000 fresh receipts there were 49,000 hogs on market Friday morning, a rather heavy load so near the end of the week. Including 3,000 head Saturday morninz the receipts for the week will be . around 150,000, being among the I largest on record for August. The Chicaeo market was former on Saturi day and ihe 3,000 fresh receipts did not last long. Best grades ot cattle were holding firm at recent advanced prices. Break at Indianapolis. Indianapolis received 6,500 hogs on Friday, and 3,000 on Saturday. Friday's receipts were smaller than anticipated but the market sold off, regardless, due largely to reports of breaks in competitive markets. The price moment was somewhat irregular, but the average decline was 25 cents per hundredweight, good lightweights being sold at $11.25, with a tw droves or extra gooa sioc i Sll.o. tne top priire. ims is a. uccline of 35 cents compared with Thursday's prices for that grade. . Medium weight hogs, stock weighing 200 to 230 pounds, however, were only 10 to 25 cents lower, being sold at $11 to $11.15. Hogs weighing more than 250 pounds and less than 300 pounds were quoted at $10.75, while one shipment of 350-pound hogs sold at $10.65. The bulk of the business was done at $11 to $11.25. Pigs were in moderate demand and prices were unchanged at $.10.50 to $11. Few sales, however, were made above $10.75. Sows aver aged 25 cents with sales at $S.75 to $9.25. With but 3,000 fresh hogs in the pens at Indianapolis on Saturday the bidding was active and prices had an upward tendency, as will be noted by comparing market quotations in another column. An early clearance was made. Telegraphic advices on Saturday morning indicated firmness in all live stock markets. Pittsburgh was steady to higher at a range of $11 to $12 at the opening. JACKSON TOWNSHIP PICNIC NEXT TUESDAY CAMBRIDGE CITY", Ind.. Aug. 6. A community picnic is planned by members of the Jackson Township Farmer's association, who have selected Jackson park as the place and Tuesday, Aug. 9 as the date. Members will bring a basket lunch and the farmers association will furnish ice cream. A short business session will be held before the program. The tax question will be discussed by Luther Simons, of Lewisville. It had been expected that County Agent J. L. Dolan would also address the gathering,, but he has replied to the president of the township association that other urgent duties will prevent his accepting any other than his official duties for some timt BUY SUGAR at E.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
Edward Barton, living on the Union pike, said that his corn made a poor stand because it was not planted deep enough for such a dry year, also that his early corn fired pretty badly. "No one expected such a dry summer," said he, "or most corn would have been planted deeper, at least mine would." He says that he is not looking for much of a corn crop, but that the rains will increase it some. Rain came too late to do half the good it would have don three weeks earlier, is his opinion. He said Friday night he. was doubtful 'of having a potato crop this year, but might have a few. His pastures axe greening, he said. . C. A. Addleman, of Middleboro pike, says: "The late rains helped all our corn, especially that planted late, but it is such a pity that these good rains did not come earlier. I am not looking for any second crop clover," he said, "but It is surprising how blue grass is showing up. If the rains continue and we have a warm fall we shall still have a lot of new grass, but corn will be a light crop, regard- j less, in this section, so far as my judgment goes." Heavy Vines But No Potatoes "I pulled a few potato vines this evening," said Charles Atkinson, of Webster, "but didn't find a single potato. The vines look like a real crop but there is nothing in the ground. This reminds me of an experience I had in another dry year. The pota toes bloomed after the ran 01 iaie rains and 'we gathered a small crop of good tubers late in the fall. This may happen again this year, if nice weather hangs on long enough, for nnr nntatoes did not bloom this sum mer." Asked as to his corn, Mr. Atkinson said that it was looking pretty good just now, also that his blue grass showed the benefits of the late rains. A Display of Horse Sense This may be an old story, but if so comes from a new point and in a npw dress. We recall two or three I examples 01 aogs suowius tuiB intelligence, ana 01 nnamg iueir wa.v to men who had cared for them when hurt or in pain. This story of "horse sense" comes from Illinois. Here it is: "William ' Seifken, a farmer residing four miles from Springfield, took his horse to a veterinarian a year ago when the animal was sick. The horse was sick again yesterday, and Seifken called the veterinarian. Dr. A. E. Dickerson. When Dickerson arrived at the Seifken farm the barn door was found kicked off its hinges anu the horse was gone. The animal w?.s found later standing at the door of the "horse hospital" in Springfield, where it was treated last year." Cabbage Yellows Cutting Crop Serious complaint is made that "cabbage yellows" is becoming quite prevalent in the cabbage districts of Indiana, lllionis and Michigan. It is taking a heavy toll from production, the hot weather being favorable for its spread over the middle west. Even the small growers who use extra pre cautions have suffered losses this year while many commercial growers with large acreages have been badly ht. We have no large growers of cabbage in this section, nor have we heard of city or farm cabbage patches that are infested. This disease is from a fungus that lives in .the soil. and once infested nonresistant rarities , cannot ce grown successiunyy ior many years. Spraying plants will net, save them. The Infested plants are lost. The most striking characteristic of the yellow color of the leaves. Sometimes small heads will form, but never reach maturity. . Money to Move Crops It is consoling to know that there is ample money in the country 1o move the crops, and carry them tiil they reach consumptive channe'.s.

pared with the war period. Grain and live stock prices have been cut in two, or more so, hence the demand for money is equally cut. And this is also true of cotton. While strenuous efforts have been made to finance farmers whose high priced cotton has been carried over on a falling market, and which now represents serious losses, that load has also been pretty well adjusted through the action of congress and the reserve . banks, and through arrangements made to market abroad at current prices. Richmond Banks Very Helpful No complaint as to the action of our own city banks not doing their full share to relieve the pressure has reached this desk. And not only is! this true of Richmond banks but of; our country banks, to the extent of their ability to take care of their customers. We are not denying that pro ducers have had a hard season, but that is not the fault of the bankers, but was caused by conditions over which the country, or even the world, has no control. The latest report of the federal reserve board is to the effect that twofifths of the whole world's estimated stock of gold is now in our treasuries, and our gold receipts in July totaled $60,000,000. We have, in fact, imported $100,000,000 more gold so far this year than the t world's total production in 1920. To Start Farmers Buying It has been claimed that farmers went on a buying strike some time ago and were largely responsible for the slowing down of various industries and other trade evils. Writing from Emerson, Nebraska, J. S. B. combats this idea. "The farmers went on the so-called buyers' strike," he claims, "simply because they had no money to buy with, and will not have under present conditions. With the greatest load of taxes, national, state and county, and the greatest load of debts and mortgages and the highest rates of interest thit farmers have had to pay in years on those debts and mortgages, the farmer who is able to pay his actual running expenses, including taxes and Interest, Is sure a lucky chap. At present prices of corn, wheat, oats, cotton and wool, not one farmer In 10 is able to do that. There is one and only one way to start the farmer to buying and that is give him a price for his products that will at least pay expenses and leave him something over with which to buy."
