GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER 4. CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Aug. 15. Corn and oats news unchanged, both looking a bulge sale. "Wheat affected by liberal receipts and near approaching large Minneapolis and Winnipeg crop receipts. Looks as if it is becoming too late to bull wheat prior to large northwest receipts, and foreigners await Canadian wheat. Good cash wheat about finn- One U. S. report shows about 88 million bushels of wheat on farms and in elevators. In the sountry and other hands, there are 60 million bushels. The July first carryover might be 148 million. With the new crop of 570 millions the July first surplus may be 200 million bushels. U. S. business news slow and this affords bulge sales plenty of rope to figure poor immediate bull support.

ME - CATTLE PRICE LIFTS HOGS 55 CENTS OFF; HEAVY CORN RECEIPTS By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The better grades of cattle brought more money at Chicago last Saturday than at any time 6ince January. The bulk of fat steers sold at from $7.75 1 to $10.10, a pretty wide spread, but the range on 700 to 1,000 pound yearlings was from $9.40 to $10.65, the top of the week. Taking the cattle market as a whole, the week's average price of $8.70 was the highest since March, and 10 cents per hundred pounds over the previous week. This seems to be an unimportant advance, and it is on a single animal, only 75 cents to $1.40 per head. But if you figure what that means on 47,000 head you will conclude that it was of some benefit to shippers. With cattle of fair grade in demand, sheep and lambs closed at the bottom of the week. The run of western lambs ranged at $7.25 to $10.75 for fancy, while the top on native lambs was $10.25. All grades of yearlings fold at from $6.25 to $8.00. Fancy veals struck a $10 top on Saturday. The live stock receipts for the past week at Chicago were: Hogs. 122,000; cattle, 47,000; sheep, 70,000 head. Average price of sheep declined 40 cents to $4.75, last week. Hogs Average 55 Cents Lower. Compared with the week ending Aug. 6, hogs were off 5o cents at Chicago, last week, the average on the week being $9.75 against $10.30 a week earlier. The average weight does not show that lightweight hogs are being rushed to market, as that "average" was 244 pounds, the heav' iest since September, and three pounds over the ten year average This indicates a good run of hogs, for light butchers and bacon weights are always in supply. St. Joseph, Mo., was the low spot on the hog market on Saturday, the top being $10.15. Indianapolis was the high spot on the central western map at $11.35, while Cincinnati and Louisville tied at $11. Pittsburg, at $12 was the highest hog market, going 23 cents over East Buffalo. Grain Market Situation. Now that the peak of the winter wheat movement is passed, interest centers in the spring crop. Farmers in the northwest and in western Canada must move their grain in large volume during favorable fall weather or take the chance of having to hold until spring, depending on weather and roads. It will be about sixty days before the maximum movement of spring wheat is over and wheat is now beginning to move freely on both sides the international line. Wheat is in a very strong position. It is pretty generally agreed that we have already sold nearly one-third of our exportable surplus. Indications are that we shall need all the wheat and foodstuffs in the country. Europe will continue to be a liberal buyer until after next harvest, and Russia is largely dependent on America to keep her people from starvation. The Rus sian relief is already taking flour, wheat and rye and will be a large factor in reducing the sruplus supply of both this country and Canada. The present outlook is for a large supply of corn and we have oats in fair abund ance, at least in measured bushels. But oats are light in weight and the tonrage is much smaller than hoped for. It is well, then, that we had a large carry over this year. i Corn Receipts Large. The movement of corn is the largest during any August in the past five years. More than 5.000,000 bushels reached primary markets last week and this movement is expected to increase as there are plenty of cars and farmers are inclined to sell. But he new crop is not yet assured. There were comparatively low temperatures in the northwest and in western Canada at the close of last week. A premature frost in the north will strengthen corn prices at all points and very naturally check its free movement to market. GLEN MILLER MARKET. In the first 11 market days of August, 889 hogs, 145 spring lambs and 72 veal calves were received at the Glen Miller yards. Weight of the hogs was 178,875 pounds, cost $19.832.27; lambs, 11,865 pounds, $811.45; and calves, value $1,130.50. There has been very little change In the market price up till Thursday, when with an oversupply at all markets, due to the early arrival of spring pigs, there was a drop of as much as a dollar. Top at Richmond was $11 for strictly light hogs; heavy, 200 and up selling for $10; butcher cattle. mnmmHinnmminmmunimimTWmnmitmumrtiiiimmamuimi TIRES Lowest 1 Prices 1 Since 1 1914 1 WM. F.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
The farm bureau song book is a tastefully printed little volume and contains many new songs set to old, familiar tunes. You can inspect a copy at the county agent's office in the courthouse. Farmers are generally reporting chinch bugs in their corn fields, but 6ay that the, damage from the second brood is scarcely noticeable. The real danger lies in what the winter does to this pest. Cold weather with ice and snow will materially reduce the "carry-over" of bugs, but a mild, open winter, with an early spring, will result to the contrary. The stuff in the fence corners and the weeds along the edges of the fields should be cut and burned this fall or we are likely to have a real invasion next year. The chinch bug damage in Wayne this summer really amounted to very little. The combined acreage of corn injured wouldn't make a good-sized spot of any township map. That, however, does not minimize the loss to the half dozen individual farmers who lost more or less corn, depending on how promptly they got into action to control the pesL Doubtless an early and careful watch will be the rule in 1921. H. H. Stanford's Views. H. H. Stanford, of Williamsburg, says he is planning to hog-down his early planted corn, because it is not likely to make as good an article as his late planted field, which has been

I am looking for a dandy corn crop this fall in our neighborhood", said be, and I judge this will go for most of Wayne county, barring too early frosts." Mr. Stanford says that their is one bill in congress, fathered by the farmers, that all the people would endorse did they but know of its importance to the entire public. "This is the truth-in-fabrics bill," said he, "and I can't see why congress doesn't realize its importance to the entire country.". Despite its importance it is not un likely that this bill will be lost in the shuffle, " so much urgent legislation being billed for action. We must tnot forget, also, that there is a combination of interests in opposition. Carl Wilson, living in the Green's Fork neighborhood, reports his corn as giving promise of a splendid crop, also that if the season is long enough he will have some good late potatoes, while the early planted variety is mostly all tops. Mr. Wilson is planning for a clean-up sale early in September. Report From Camden. The manager of the Farmers' elevator at Camden said on Saturday that they were paying $1.14 for wheat, and that a little of it was still dribbling in. As to the average production this year he thought that 12 bushels would hit the nail, also that quite a number of growers had decided to hold, hoping for better prices later on, in which idea he concurred. Relating to corn and oats in the Camden section the elevator manager is of the opinion that a lot of their com was permanently injured and in spite of good late rains will not fill. "It was benefitted, of course," said he, "but that by no meais insures a regular corn crop. The late planted corn may come out in good shape, depending on the kind of a fall we have." .He stated that they had taken in a lot of ,i hi , i : i hi inn i . iv ii'i i :" : i

Cold Storage Egg Flavors. Farmers are not expected to bur eggs, but to sell them. But this isn't always the rule. Farmers who have no winter laying flocks are often ju?t as short of eggs as are town folks,' in which case when egg-hungry they buy rrom their grocers. People accustomed to fresh eggs nearly all the time can detect the cold storage article the moment it is served. Not that is bad but because it Is different. In fact the cold storage taste is very generally recognized, especially where eggs have been several months In storage, and this flavor is especially noticeable in soft boiled or poached eggs. Experiments prove that when eggs are kept from the air in a preserving fluid, and then held in cold storage, that peculiar taste doe. not develop. This proves, then, that the objectionable taste Is a flavor absorbed from storage house odors. There is no reason why farmers cannot store their own eggs in waterglass, and many of them do. Proper Feeding Pays. Continued analysis of book kept by 40 farmers in a southern Ohio county reveal that the main difference between best-paying farms and tho money, say specialists of the department of rural economics, who compiled the figures. The "five best men" of the 40 kept an equivalent of 20 head of cows, and fed $179 worth of feed, one-sixth protein, to a cow in a year. The rest of Ihe group kept 15 head of cows, and fed at the rate of $90 a cow, Trith onl7 one-tenth protein. Stock on the five bet farms returned 49 per cent above feed cost, while the other animals registered a loss of seven per cent. Feeding an adequate and balanced ration, the five leading farmers spent more money, but got back $149 for every $100 expended. Dolan Starts Second Term.
