FARMER IS SATISFIED WITH AUCTION TOTAL; WILL MOVE TO TOWN

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN

The Carl T. Wilson farm sale, held on the "Benny Thorne" farm, two miles north of Green's Fork, on Tuesday, drew such a crowd that the liberal lunch provided by the Ladies' Aid of the M. E. church at Williamsburg, was eaten to the last bun, also the ice cream cans were emptied before the sale closed. Will Lewis, of the First National bank at Williamsburg, said that he considered it a mighty good dinner for 35 cents, also a very good sale, everything considered. Mr. Lewis made the settlements and re

ports a net of $2,650. The sale opened at 10:30. with Weddle and Hindman on the block, determined to get the buyers to pay what the goods and chattels were worth, right from the ttart, and soon had the crowd warmed up. Included in the live stock put up were three horses, a good farm team, bay mares weighing 2,900 pounds, and one 3 year old gelding. Harry Stevens got the team at his bid of $202.50 and the gelding was taken home by Lewis Webber, who paid $150 for him. Eight head of cattle were sold. Will McLaughlin paying $71 for a red cow and calf, the top figure in the cow sale. Oats, Rye and Standing Corn Of the 23 acres of standing corn 5 acres were taken by a Mr. Richardson at $16; 5 more by Bert Hinshaw at $16.50, and another 5 acres by Albert Roller at $17. Eight tons of

mixed hay brought from $8.50 to $10 per ton. Seventy bushels of good white rye sold at 98 cents and about. 100 bushels of oats at from 32 to 36 cents. There were 82 head of hogs in the collection, including 36 shoats and 11 Poland China sows, five of which had 34 sucklings at foot. All of these brought satisfactory prices. A lot of loose oats straw, also bales of wheat and rye straw were disposed of at going prices. Quite a lot of implements, harness, etc., also invited competition. A flat bed Weber wagon, in fine condition, was bid up to $130 by Robert Duke: the corn binder brought $50 and a sulky sold at $40. To Move to Williamsburg In a brief talk with Mr. Wilson on Wednesday morning he expressed satisfaction with the total cash, and said that in some instances he had realized more money than expected. He was a trifle disappointed as to the money received for the horses, which were all good ones. Asked as to his future plans he stated that he was to move to Williamsburg to live, and is to have charge of the elevator at that point, beginning on Thursday, Sept. 15.

Charles Wesdick announces that Webster township farmers who have rebates due on their fertilizer payments will receive checks at the farm bureau meeting to be held at the Webster township school buildings on Thursday evening, September 8. Regardless of this being silo filling time the officials hope for a large attendance on Thursday night. Farmers are invited to be present, whether they have rebate checks coming, or otherwise. "Come out and meet the boys, anyway," says Mr. Weadick. He also says that he has a dandy crop of tobacco on his four-acre plot, and has about two-thirds of it cut and in the drying shed. Corn is look

ing much better in the Webster section than could have been hoped for during the dry spell, and is rapidly becoming safe from frost.

The manager of the Milton Grain company says that there are a number of silos being filled around Miltou and Bentonville and that most owners of silos are likely to fill them as usual, although there will be comparatively fewer head of live stock to feed, notably cattle, next winter. He says that he personally knows of no new silos added during the summer. "The demand for coal is small," said he, "although we are of the opinion

that this is the time to lay in supplies. It would have been still better for the farmers if they had placed their orders a few weeks earlier." As a matter of fact, country elevator men are not looking for cheaper coal at the mines, nor for any imm-

diate reduction in freight rates. With an increasing demand and the pres

sure for cold weather ueuveiieb, neither mine owners nor railroads are likely to reduce price?. Ohio Has 100,000 Members. A letter received from the American farm bureau headquarters at Chicago, on Tuesday, states that: "Every county in Ohio has a farm bureau organized on a $10 membership basis. The 'Ohio farm bureau federntion now has a total of nearly 100,000 mem

bers." As that means a payment in dues of a million dollars annually, and as the subscriptions have mostly been taken for three years, it is eident that the Ohio farmers have no intention of going out of business, regardless of low prices. This million dollars annually means a much greater outlay now, than it would have at the time of peak prices. But that isn't all of the story. Hot campaigns for members are being pushed nearly all the time. Preble county recently added about 200 members and is now paying more than $10,000 per year into the farm bureau state and local pools. This gives the various officials ample funds for the work of the county organization, both educational and otherwise. We are only paying $5 per year in Indiana in dues, $2 of which go to the state headquarters for state-broad purposes. Still Another Committee. The Natinoal fruit marketing conference recently authorized the president of the American farm bureau to appoint a committee of 21 members, to be as truly representative as possible of the various fruit growers organizations. This committee has now been

selected and the name of Prof. Laurenz Greene, of Lafayette, Ind., is found in the list. W. F. Farnsworth, of Waterville, Ohio, and C. E. Durst, of Chicago, are also among the selections named. In our opinion the fruit marketing committees have a larger job, and one covering a much wider territory, than

have the grain committee of seventeen. The conservation of fruits, and the widest distribution on an equable basis so as to prevent both gluts and famine spots will require a lot of sound common sense and executive skill, this

being especially true as to fresh fruits.

both for the home market and for export. Measuring Grain In Bins. To measure wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat and shelled corn in bins, multiply inside length and width of bin together, then multiply that product by the average depth of grain in the bin. This gives the cubic feet, which, divided by five and multiplied

by four, gives approximately the number of bushels of grain. To Eliminate Middlemen. The president of the Indiana State Farm Bureau declares that the aim of the U. S. Grain Growers is the elimination of the middleman in the grain trade, through the elimination of the speculative market. As a farmer who is familiar with raising grain be

figures that "this will provide the farmer with a ready, dependable market in which to sell his products, with considerable saving to the public." Crop Estimates Too Large? Herbert Myrick, editor of Farm and Home, makes some sensational claims regarding U. S. crop estimates. He says they are entirely too large and

are therefore responsible for ruling low prices. Mr. Myrick asserts there is probably nearly a billion less corn available than the department estimates, and that he corn crop may be 400.000.000 bushels below the government figures. He claims that there are twelve million acres less of corn to be harvested than was officially forecasted. He also says that the supply of old corn on hand is probably 500,000,000 bushels less

than supposed, also that our oats crop is but about 60 per cent of last year. The editor of Farm and Home bases his charges upon the fact that actual count by the federal census in January of last year showed that acreage and yield in 1919 had been grossly overestimated by the department for corn and potatoes, while the error in oats acreage was 10 per cent and 20 per

cent in oats yield. Editor Myrick ap

plies the department's own percent-1 ages of increased or decreased acre

ages and its own. estimate of yields

jper acre to the census data, and ar

rives at the conclusions above stated. He adds: "So, too, the present supply of old corn must be far less than suppositions, based upon the "official estimate of 1,572 million bushels on farms last March, since the two corn crops of 1919-20 were nearly 900 millions less

that department estimated. Total supply of corn, old and new, upon completion of present harvest may be the smallest per capita of population in 30 years." Being entirely incapable of judging between editor Myrick and Uncle Sara

we shall take no part in the argument. It is a fact, however, that government estimates are frequently too large, also often too small, as consumptive and export figures . will show in the final analysis.

marketing is a necessity of agriculture in the future. " "Scotland ana Denmark are instances of a stabilized agriculture," he said. "They long ago found that they would have to eliminate all wastes if they would make a living at farming in their countries, and after developing the most intensive production per acre, they also turned their attention to marketing and eliminated all waste

ful processes there. In those coun

year, he showed a conservative estimate of $50,000 saving per year to the

(way, a large part of the consumers j dollar, instead of only 17 to 32 cents as in the United States, gets back to the farm producer. All this is accom

plished through co-operative market-' ing. "If we compare our production costs with what it costs us to get our stuff to the consumer, we must acknowledge that we have the most wasteful system of marketing in the world," Commending efforts of the farmer; and of agricultural authorities to se-1 cure increased production, Patterson I emphasized the greater relative impor- j tance of securing fair profits, pointing J to other businesses as examples of . what farming should be as an indus

try. Preceding Patterson's speech, County Agent J. L. Dolan explained the

ease.

Dolan reported the infestation this year as about 12 percent average for

the -whole county. Mr. Dolan visited every township in the county during the season when smut could be observed, and took countings at different points in the fields, from which he estimated an average for the field.
