Apple Shippers May Ask Rate Cut of Congress (By Associated Press) CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 12. Discussion of freight rates on apples dis
closed a consensus of opinion among delegates attending the twenty-sixth annual convention of the International apple shippers' association that the association should take steps to seek
relief from congress and the Inter
state commerce commission in a systematic manner. Speakers declared the rates were excessive and discriminatory.
Definite action, however, is being
withheld until the resolutions com
mittee makes its report today. Apple men said they were confident such action would be taken immediately following adjournment of the convention. Nearly 700 persons attended the annual dinner last night

By WILLIAM R. SAN BURN" . Whenever completely told, the story
of every farm sale is a tale of human
interest Back of every farm sale is a compelling reason why; not a reason of great public interest or import
ance, to be sure, but often vitally
so to those whose goods and chattels are to be offered at auction. And this is particularly true of all sales which mean the breaking of old
ties; the removal from the old homestead, it may be, and the retirement
to town, or the leaving of familiar
scenes to begin life in a new country,
amid strange peoples and surround
ings, j In all such cases, the neighbors and friends come out in large numbers. The women and children are present to take part in the leave-taking and to wish the departing family success and happiness in their new venture. The men are liberal on such occasions and are free bidders for whatever is put up and is in any manner suitable to their needs. These sales are known as "clean-up" affairs, meaning that house furnishings, home-made preserves, etc,, will go under the ham
mer, all of which is of especial interest to the home-makers. It is a notable fact, too, that regardless of a sale being a "clean-up" offering, previous to the family removal, the addition of chickens and a selection of furniture, rugs, etc., to the
sale bill, will always attract a lot of women, who come to pick up bargains and who do their own bidding and settling. This was certainly true as to the first farm .sale of the present season, held at the C. E. Jefferis home on the Middleboro pike, on Thursday. The C. E. Jefferis Sale The C. E. Jefferis sale, on the place long known as the Charles Albright farm, 3 miles north of Richmond, on the Middleboro pike, took place on Thursday. It was a complete clearance sale, and included the acreage. The sale opened at 10 o'clock, at which hour the pike and driveway were lined with cars and buggies. The rain made no impress on the crowds headed saleward. The Jefferis place had magnetic drawing power Thursday. The house and porches failed to accommodate
even the women and children and the
cars along the drive were filled with family parties. The Jefferis folks have been long and favorably known in Wayne county, have a host of friends and many of these from quite a distance motored over for the occasion.
First Sale of the Season. The sale on the Jefferis place was the opening gun of the coming fall sale campaign. Two years ago the entire country was prostrated by a virulent attack of farm-sale fever. That fever has long since subsided, although last fall and winter witnessed considerable activity in that line, locally. But with falling prices cam-3 hesitant buyiner. The day when you could sell anything at profitable figures and be sure of a crowd of anxious bidders, is row a memory. There will be fewer of such sales in future. But the farm sale is an established American institution; there always will be farm sales. The Live Stock Offering. Ten cows, four horses, six brood sows, 60 pigs and a bunch of chickens,
went under the hammer. All the
household goods, canned fruit etc., also were listed and found eager buy
ers among the ladies present. No exceptional prices were paid but there was a buyer for every article and everything was sold. Members of the family were among the buyers. Will Jefferis, father of the bqy whose goods were on sale, bought about six tons of hay. He also bought a part of the acreage in standing corn, at $20; Roy Roberts, a neighbor, took the balance, 32 acres being sold. Mr. Jefferis also paid $90 for
the first horse put up, a bay mare. W. W. Ward paid $107 for her teammate, and Tom Ryan got a sorrel horse at $77.50.
The cows were a mixed lot of ordin
ary animals; that is, to say, no fine
milkers were on offer. Cows are not
bringing a whole lot of money just now and the prices realized on the 10 put up ranged at from $32.50 to $52.50. Pdward Charles paid the top of the day. Among the cow buyers were Asa Stanley, who selected two, also John Turner, who picked out a pair. Will Gregg and the senior Jefferis also invested in milkers. As to hogs, these were in demand, regardless of the slump at central

markets. Ollie McClure paid $149 for 20 little feeders. R. Danilly got 31
head of youngsters for $248, and Ben Toschlog got four sows for $120, which were later taken off his hands
by Will Flatley. Middleboro Ladies Net $121.
The Ladies' Aid of the Middleboro M. E. church served a generous and
satisfying lunch which was in great demand from 11:30 on. They had planned for a goodly crowd but even so underestimated the number to be
served. After taking in $121 for the good things provided they ran out of 8unnlies. These consisted of 450
sandwich buns; 14 loaves of bread and, can you imagine it, 65 home-made pies like mother used to make, and still does make in the Middleboro district Then came 15 gallons of ice cream, and sundries to sweeten the taste. The ladies present and serving, were: Miss Anna Cook, president; Mrs. Minnie Clark, Mrs. Harry Patti, Miss Nettie Bennett Mrs. Ethel Seaney, Miss Maggie Starbuck, Mrs. Mattie Urton, Miss Leona Darland, Mrs. Joseph Thomas, Mrs. Lulu Kirkman, Mrs. Lulu Addleman, Mrs. Alice Addle-
man, Mrs. Mary Hawkins, Mrs. tiarnet Smith. Miss Stell Hartley, Mrs. Naomi Markey and Mrs. Emma Bogan. Sale Total About $5, COO. The farm of 27 acres brought $121
per acre, Webb Hall, of Richmond, be
ing the highest bidder. The chattels
sold for $1,715, making the net of the sale $4,982. Weddle and Hindman cried the sale and Harry Gilbert and
Harry Patti. of the Second National bank, kept the records and made the settlements. Mr. Gilbert considered it a good sale and said a large portion of the receipts were cash.

FARMERS VISIT PURDUE LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 12. Farmers and their families to the number of 150, of Washington township, braving the heavy rain here Thursday, came to Purdue for an all-day picnic. The day's program included an inspection of university buildings ami farms.
The closing out farm sale held on the Clarence E. Jefferis place on the Middleboro pike, on Thursday, drew one of the largest crowds ever seen at
a farm sale in Wayne county. The house and grounds simply overflowed with people and the pike and driveway were lined with cars and buggies. Speaking of buggies, there were more of these than we recall seeing at any
such gathering in the past three years, but these were far outnumbered by
the cars, of course. F. S Betts, an Illinois farmer, writes: After a trio coverine: a good
part of seven central western states I am convinced that farmers are going broke at present prices. Farmers are now getting less than pre-war prices for their output, are paying high railroad rates on stuff they sell, also on manufactured articles they are forced to buy. Farmers also are paying 5C per cent more than pre-war prices for most of the goods they have to buy." Ships Eggs to New York. Paul J. McPherson, living near New Paris, in the vicinity of Cedar Springs, reports receiving 48 cents for eggs shipped to New York during the pac-t week. The highest prices reported paid for strictly fresh firsts of late iu New York was paid a few days ago
to a West Alexandria shipper. Mr
McPherson usually makes two shipments weekly to New York, and has a very large flock of choice Leghorns. He will remove to larger and better equipped quarters within a month.
During the "high time" some Wayre
county eggs brought up to $1 par dozen in a wholesale way in New York city, for fresh-laid winter stock. The latest top was 51 cents. "This is hardly the right time to buy corn in the field," remarked en old farmer at the Jefferis sale on Thursday. "A man could inspect a field and bid with some certainty of at least coming out even, if he knew that the corn would not be caught by the frost. When the corn is safely ripened is the only time to buy standing corn." said he. The Story of Averages. As will be noted in the Indiana state crop report, printed complete in this
paper, that winter wheat at 12 bushels shows the same "average" production as for the crop of 1920. This, in view of the widespread reports of damage this summer, seems somewhat strange. As a matter of state-wide production the figures as to averages are of great
interest, but have no monetary value to the farmer whose harvest ran at
from five to 10 bushels, while the
man whose wheat ran from 15 bushels
up will have none the less grain to sell because of the 12 bushel average
for the state. Many Indiana wheat
crops this year failed to pay for seed
and labor. In fact a few Wayne, farmers have called at this office and told just that kind of a story. Stops Co-Operative Stock Sales. A few lines in the Chicago Tribune of Thursday, tells a story quite out of the ordinary. It relates that Judge Landis, of Chicago, issued an injuno tion against the sales of stock of the . Co-Operative Stores of America, which has been keeping a host of solicitors in the field, evidently with good effect The Tribune says: "Up to date $10,000,000 of the stock has been sold." ' One can imagine that this vast sum of money would establish a large number of stores, would provide all the capital needed, in fact, also that if this
concern has now been found fraudulent
the discovery has been made far too late. Many Fakirs Arrested. At a matter of fact during the past two years, while the papers have been . filled with stories of co-operative farm enterprises in both a local and national way, the woods have been alive with promoters, selling stocks in various alleged co-operative companies, mostly
blue sky affairs, judging from the fact that a number of states have barred their stocks, and in several instances both principals and agents have been arrested. Several chain stores projects have thus come under the ban. Nothing in the Name. Shares in co-operative associations are a good investment, if they are all wool and a yard wide. Otherwise not. The simple use of the word "Co-
Operative" on any stock does not add a copper to its intrinsic value, or to its ability to earn profits. The sole merit must be in the real proposition, and not in the name. Chester White H09 Sale.
