FARMERS ADVISED TO QUIT POLITICS WASHIXGTOX, Sept. 9. Farmers are wasting time, money and effort in organizing along political lines to improve their condition, when they could get better results by organizing combinations "of selling power" to market their products advantageously, in the opinion of Representative Anderson, of Minnesota, chairman of the joint commission of agricultural inquiry. "The farmer, in the main, is organized today just like the retailer is organized namely: along semi-political rather than economic lines," Mr. Anderson said. "And neither the farmer nor the retailer can get anywhere in this country except through an or ganization whose fundamental aim is economic." ' .

r- " j Farm Sale Calendar i

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Dealers in farm implements tell us that indications 'favor the sowing of the usual wheat acreage this fall; &lso that as much fertilizer will be used as in average years, and that the regular dealers will sell the Bulk of it. And the reason for this is clearly apparent. The co-operatives, with their marketing committees in the various states, have no means of extending credits. We remember the action of the Indiana state marketing committee, for example, and of the letters sent out from headquarters, insisting that "with an order for every car of fertilizer must come a bank draft, or a letter of credit from a bank, insuring us immediate payment on arrival of the car." This naturally squeezed many farmers last fall, and with present low nrirps for all erains. cheap hogs, and with r-.at.tla on an almost donation basis for the common kinds, it is still harder to finance fertilizer, or any thing else, this fall. Tne result is that much of the business handled through the marketing committee last ceasnn ha reverted once more to the Hoaioro and azents. This does not mean that our farm elevators are not doing some fertilizer business, for they are. One Dealers Sells 33 Carloads. nn Richmond implement man who handles a popular line of fertilizers said on Friday, tnai ne uau um cars so far this summer, that 22 cars had been delivered with most of the others on the way, and orders being Korvtori riaiiv. He cited one case dKamoi. " ' . . ... . I c mon n- ics h s nnmion mai : lu',. zn nrrent of the

Williamsburg supply of fertilizer forjing $10 daily to the cause, or on the lo-n that other Richmond men had! present basis $3,650 annually to the

cnirt a- share, and that the federation folks will furnish two, or possibly three cars, of the total. Fertilizer Prices Reduced. In a discussion of prices and a comparison of costs one year ago this week, this dealer said: "My books show that we got $42 per ton last fall, while today I am booking orders at $30 per ton. All fertilizers are lower than they were 12 months ago, of course, but I am speaking only for the brand we handle, as to exact price." Will All-Fill Silos. A little earlier in the season there was some doubt as to the number of silos that would he filled this fall, or rather as to the number that would not be filled, principally because of fewer cattle to be fed in the Richmond radius, so many having cleaned up their herds and taken their losses. We recall two different elevator men, one in the southern, the other in the northern district of Wayne, who figured three weeks ago that possibly onethird of the silos in their sections would not be filled this fall. These predictions are not holding good, for it seems as if every silo will be filled, as usual. In our phone calls to farmers we have yet to locate a single silo owner who intends to leave it empty this fall. Silo filling is now the "chore" of the day. Bought Six Silos. It is a fact, however, that very few new silos have been erected in Wayne this year. Conditions, have discouraged that sort of an investment, but these conditions are rapidly changing and we shall be able to make a different report next year, no doubt. In a little talk with Frank Jones, the latter, stated that he had bought six silos this summer, from men who were retiring or quitting feeding: He said, moreover, that he had instant demand for these snos, wmcn were taKen ao-n ana reerected on other farms. He said, too.' that he could have sold a half dozen I more silos, had they been available "I know of but one silo in this county which will not be filled this fall." said Mr. Jones. "The owner is living in Richmond and is offering his farm for sale, which explains the empty silo in thir case," said he. . Some 60-Bushel Corn. F. H. Gross, a young Franklin town ship farmer, says that he has 40 acres Monroe Township Schools To Open Late This Month onroe township rural schools Willi Monroe open Monday, Sept 19.

of corn that looks like 60 bushels to the acre, or better. Mr. Gross was in town with a load of oats on Thursday, for which a local consumer paid him

40 cents. He harvested 45 acres of oats this summer which ran from 20 bushels up. "They were- rather light weight but pretty good quality at that, as good as were raised up my way, he said. Charles Kirkman Sale. Charles Kirkman, living in the Whitewater district said that his sale this week netted him a little better than $2,000. Mr. Kirkman said that his 40 acres of standing corn averaged but $12 per acre, which seemed rather lo win price, considering the prospect for a very fair yield. There was a bunch of 12 heifers and cows in the sale, and the top price on cows, $74 was paid for a Shorthorn, with' calf! ' Omar Piatt cried the sale. Mr. Kirk man isn't quitting farming but says that he is to "move right across the road onto another farm." Shipping Association. They have been discussing a cooperative live stock shipping association in both New Garden and Franklin townships for some time, but without decisive action to date. The Franklin township farmers are to meet at ethel on Monday evening. Sept 12, and have invited Orville Dailey, of Centerville, to address them on this subject on that occasion. Farmers from both townships are expected to be present Banner Farm Bureau Township. "ZZJ i t j- i , iui r r ry uay in me vear. ana tnai means that his township is contributfarmers uplift movement.

The campaign is still going on, a total of 153 members having been secured in recent weeks. The county agent gives the probable number of farmers in the county at not less than 2,600, men who are eligible to join. , Duroc-Jersey hog breeders of Preble county are preparing to have a combination sale at Eaton, on October 13, at the fair grounds. The pick of the county herds will be up for sale at that time.

SEPTEMBER FORECAST OF CROPS ANALYZED BY SANBORN FRIDAY By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The government crop report for September, issued late on Thursday, shows that there was a decrease of 54,000,000 in the four small grains, wheat, oats, rye and barley, also that corn

prospects had bettered to the extent of 156,000,000 bushels. This indicates a corn crop of 3,18S,000,000, the second largest on record. It showed gains of nearly 1 bushels per acre during favorable August days. The corn crop promises to be but 44,000,000 short of last year and around 400,000,000 above the ten year average. The bulk of the crop is now out of danger from frost and tw weeks of uutj ivcdiuri uiajf rrauit m a. tiup equal to that of 1920, when the returns are all in.
