GRAIN PRICES Furnished bv E. W. WAGNER 4 CO.. 212 Union National Bank Building CHICAGO, Dec. 16. Locals working on dip buying side of wheat. Export wheat news however is the weak spot The Canadian sales seem to be slow. Looks as if England is after Argentine wheat. Corn receipts too large. Com visible may jump three to four million any time. Liverpool 'wheat closed IVi up. Winnipeg working hard to supply bull news. Oklahoma nnd Texas wheat crop news bullish. We believe the Dec. 29 new wheat report will not be bullish. Kansas wheat reports of 27 million looks small but they were far smaller in 1917 and 1918. Overnight the local attitude is favorable to bulling wheat. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 16.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

A few Wayne county men were in attendance at the Perry S. Hitchcock farm sale in Rush county, on Wednesday. Mr. Hitchcock was farming 280 acres and had an ample supply of implements, two tractors and eight horses in the sale. The demand for tractors was not urgent enough to in sure good prices, and they went at a sacrifice, and this was true as to some of the implements, according to one of the visitors from Wayne. Hogs soid at better than market prices, while cows and horses ranged at comparatively low figures. The timothy in the mow, and some mixed hay sold under $11 per ton and 3,000 bushels of corn in cribs sold at from 36V2 to 384 cents. A large crowd was present but competition was not spirited, except in "spots." Indiana Farm Bureau NotesMonday evening, Dec. 19, has been set as the date of the Noble county live stock breeders' association's sec ond annual meeting, at Kendalville. The session will be held in the community building and Professor Christit; and M'ss Lena Gaddis, of Purdue, will be the principal speakers. Pure bred iive stock breeders from adjoining counties are invited. Charles Rob'.nson, Fayette county agent, announces a series of farm institutes in that county, the first to be held at Bentonville, Jan. 5. Institutes will also be held at Orange. Everton, Fairview, Alquina and Waterloo The Wells county farm bureau held its annual meeting, election and ban quet at Bluffton, on Monday and was addressed by ex-Governor Harding, of Iowa, on transportation problems, in the afternoon, and in the evening on modern farm methods.

Hamilton county, Ohio, Is in this district, the Indiana counties being Dearborn, Switzerland, Jefferson and Franklin. Very Small Cotton Crop The final estimate of the American cotton crop enlarges the earlier estimates, but still leaves production figures the smallest since 1895, or in 26 years. In explanation of the discrepancy between the government's December and October estimates of the cotton crop for 1921, the crop reporting board, department of agriculture, says "it was forced to accept growers' reports of acreage reductions which were based by propaganda and generally believed The December cotton report, forecasting a total crop of 8,340.000 bales, is much in excess of earlier estimates during the growing season." the statement continues. "Since July 1, field statisticians have been able to travel.

funds having become available, and I the,ir reports indicate that the grow eis reports on June 25 exaggerated the reduction in acreage." The statement also points out that weather favored the crop later in the season and weevil and other damage was less than expected. Cattle Tick Quarantine. Under an order by Secretary of Ag riculture Wallace, effective Decembe 10, a total area of 29,563 square miles in Texas, Georgia, Louisiana anil North Carolina is released from lc-d-eral quarantine to prevent the spread of Texas fever in cattle.
