The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

"Very little wheat has come In during the past week," said Manager Bowen of the elevator at Crete,' ind. "This is ordinarilly a good oats country," said he, "but our crop was not only a small one but the oats are light in weight this season. Now and then an exceptional field went as high as 30 bushels, but th e -P - -suy , around 15 bushels, and unaer. vve. r,aid $1.08 for the last wheat received and our price on oats is now 25 cents, which isn't a bad price, considering what we can get for them at central markets, also the quality of the oats." Mr. Bowen said they were buying no corn whatever. That corn is mostly being fed and that were the hogs in the country more of them would be on feed right now. He said that they had fields in his section which prom ised 50 bushels or better, as tney seemed to have had more snowers than fell in most places and their corn never really suffered for moisture. "It is now a qusetion of how long frost will stay off," said Mr. Bowen. Feeders are paying 60 cents for corn in the Crete district. Headed For the Circus. William B. Woodward, of Dublin, said nn Tuesday that nearly all the farmers had sold their wheat from the machines, and that some of them had taken 20 minutes off to spend the money, there wa3 so little of it But even so, enough was reserved, he thought, to buy ticket to the circus on Friday and he Intended to be "among those present." He said that corn needed no more rain, simply warmth and sunny weather, to make a good crop. No grain is now being received at Dublin, but the last of the oats crop is dribbling in at Straughn. Are Still Threshing Oats. "At least one rig is threshing oats today," said J. F. Seagraves, on Tuesday, "but we are getting near the wind-up." He reports corn as looking fine, said they have had plenty of rain and if frost held off long enough to mature late corn they expected a good crop. ' "We usually get at least one car of rye, and now have 1,300 bushels in store." said Mr. Seagraves. "Farmers are not selling corn but are feeding it as a rule. At any rate we can't afford to pay the prices that feeders are paying. Hogs are scarce or there would be more of them on feed. Feeders have scoured the country for pigs since hogs began to advance." Mr. Seagraves said that they were keeping a good stock of coal in the bins and that farmers were buying as usual, and he had heard no talk of pooling orders for coal. A light crop of light weight oats was harvested and the buying price at Losantsville is now 25 cents. G. G. Membership Campaign. The Indiana farmer is not to be deprived of the privilege to contract with the U. S. Grain Growers for the pooling and handling of his surplus grain, regardless of state action prohibiting the sale of the Finance Corporation stock in this state. The latter corpor ation, however, has. nothing whatever to do with the membership campaign, which is now on. Fifteen solicitors for members are now in this field, and are In charge of James K. Mason, of Milton, regional director of the Grain Growers. Inc.. for Indiana. The mem bership initiation fee is $10, and this first cost covers the entire five years of the contract and may run indefinately, so far as we understant. "The Idea Is to secure members who will stand by the organization and pool t their grain so that orderly marketing may be done in future, by the farmers themselves. Committee of 15 in Session. The Committee of Fifteen are In session at Chicago today, having been almost a year on the job. Several meetings have been held, however, and presumably much traveling done in the quest of information as to the best manner of disposing of live stock, in the interest of the growers. We understand from the Chicago newspapers that "this committee Is perfecting plans for the establishment of producer-owned and operated cooperative commission companies at the leading markets." This plan has been in effect at Omaha, Kansas City and St. Paul for years. The National Farmers Union has been handling hundreds of cars of live stock at Kansas City for a long time. The office is backed by the farmers of Kansas, but it handles live stock from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and southern Iowa, with a sprinkling from Nebraska and Colorado, it is said. This co-operative concern sells on the open market, makes no claim whatever of getting more money than Victor Jacks, $3.00 McConaha's Garage 418 Main St. s i iinuitiximimimtumnnmttniiiuittmiHttiiiiniiiiiuuimiiiiiiiiiftiMtmiiiiimijt ! fciramiwiwnnimmmtMttUiuwiriwitiwtwiniiniMinrwtMHirwuiinmiMmnf s The Underselling Store "itiunmimmiiamnmiinuntuiwmiiimiiitmtiMttiinitiuiiuiimmnnwnniii WMmmmiwuiiuiiHiiuuiniiHmmimuintmtimirannmmMmtimfWimm TIRES Lowest i Prices Since i 1914 I

A set of harness, used for 34 years on a farm and still in good order when the Bureau of Chemistry bought it from the farmer, will be shown by that bureau at the state fairs this year to demonstrate the importance of good care of leather. In contrast is another set, used for 4 or 5 years, and almost ready to be discarded, to show what neglect will do. The bureau also has panels showing proper methods of skinning cattle, sheep and other animals to obtain the best results in hides and leather. Other panels Illustrate methods of water-proofing various materials on the farm for 'wagon covers, machinery or horse covers.

Aug. 10. The Cap-per-Tincher grain trading control bill passed the senate in record time Tuesday . It took less than two hours, most of which was devoted to a speech by senator capper, Republican, Kansas. The bill now goes to conference. As it passed the house the bill im posed a prohibitive tax upon puts and cans and other speculative transac tions and also upon exchanges which do not become "contract markets"! under government supervision. It also admitted co-operative associations to membership in exchanges. Principal senate amendments propose to modify records members and exchanges must make of all transactions to be available to the secretary of agriculture, to suspend members under certain conditions, provide for government publicity of investigations conducted and business transacted, permit co-operative associations to rebate commissions and release sales of cash grain for deferred shipment from the operation of the act In a statement issued after the passage of the bill, Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, said that, while the legislation was not considered necessary, in view of public sentiment for the regulatory measure, the grain exchanges would "bow to the great force of public opinion." He added that the Senate amendments had removed from the bill "many unfair and burdensome conditions." Cuts Ship Board Allowance.
