ORDER FERTILIZERS EARLY, ADVICE TO FRANKLIN FARMERS

BETHEL,, lnd., Jan. 10. Prediction that fertilizer prices quoted by manufacturers would not drop much if any below present quotations, and explanalion of a new method of operation of the Federated Market Service by which only arm bureau members will get ihe benefit of savings in economical purchases contracted for by the purchasing department, were the principal features of a talk by F. W. Boyle, manager of the farmers' co-operative purchasing agency before the meeting ff the Franklin township farmers' association in Bethel Community hall Monday night.; The Federated Marketing Service will not compete and cut prices this reason, but will only take orders and fill them at the lowest price, which Is rxpected to be much below the sale list price of old-line companies as it will be possible, with a great volume of orders, to bargain. Profits Refunded From the margin, after operating expenses are deducted, the profits will be refunded to the various townships according to the tonnage ordered, and divided among members of the .federaiion who have ordered fertilizer. In 'Hve non-members order through the federation, their margin would be did"d among the members. , Mr. Boyle urged farmers to get their orders in early, so that there would be no delay in getting' the fertilizer made up and to guarantee a better duality. Mr. Boyle also stated that his agency is handling fence, mill feeds, salt and coal in addition to fertilizer. A report on the operations of the Fountain City Co-operative livestock Shipping association was presented by officials present. The (oial membership of the FrankT:n township association was stated to be 99 at. the close of the drive.

MILTON'. Ind.. Jan. 10. Consideration of the establishment of a co-operative live stock shipping association, :md plans to get facilities for shipping by intfrurban from Cambridge City or Iershiny. will be the principal business at the next meeting of the Washington township farmers' association, Thursday night, Jan. 12.

on the results in Center township.

The question of holding a farmers'! institute will be taken up at this meet-1 ins also. j

The elevator business Is mighty quiet just now, said manager Hoekett of Fountain City, although we are doing something in feed and coal all the time. Mr. Hocket said they had been lucky enough to have gotten in a supply of bran and middlings before the late rise in prices and was still selling on old-cost basis. They are taking in a few odd loads of wheat, he said, at a cost of $1.08, also a little

t orn at 40 cents per bushel and are I bidding 28 cents for oats. They are'

quoting Kentucky lump coal at $7. 2d at Fountain City, Mr. Hocket said. The annual meeting for election of executive committeemen, or directors, of the Farmers' Elevator company, at Camden, was herd on Saturday last. The men selected for the coming year are named as follows: J. H. Lamm, Edgar Kreden and V. F. Duckian. J. F. Decker, who has been in charge during the past 18 months, is the manager of the plant. He says that they have considerable wheat in store, but tbat it is owned by farmers who are hoping for a higher market before selling. Glen Miller Annual Report In discussing the amount of business done at Glen Miller stock yards in 1921 Rome Shurley remarked that, while the business was large, it had fallen off somewhat, compared with that done in 1920. He said, too, that the local yard was not an exception in this, as this was the rule at all stock yards last year. "Not only did the receipts of live stock fall off everywhere," said Mr. Shurley, "but the volume of money paid out to shippers decreased in still greater proportion, because of the much lower range of prices on the entire live stock line, both east and west." Several Farm Sales Ahead "While trade is quiet," said Fred Schlientz and Son, of Eldorado, "we are getting in a little wheat and some corn, the wheat at $1.10 and corn at 40 ents. We are not bidding for oats, most of ours not being of shipping grades. Our coal trade has been very good. The indications favor quite a number of farm sales in this section of Preble county, several of them being booked for January, we understand.

The report from the Farmers'!

Equity elevator at New Paris on Monday was to the effect that there is almost nothing being done in grain at this time, but that some coal and feed was moving right along. The mill and elevator folks at Hagerstown tell us that they, are barely able to buv enough corn to sunnlv

their retail trade, although bidding 45 j cents for it. They claim to be able; to buy considerable corn at 50 cents;

a bushel, but caflnot afford to handle it at that cost. A little wheat is moving at $1.10; flour trade is said to be

on a hand-to-mouth basis, dealers supplying only immediate needs. Grain Growers' Annual Meeting The LT. S. Grain Growers will meet in annual session at Chicago on March 20-22. Farmer members who have not subscribed and paid up prior to January 17 will have no voice in the election of the board of directors for the ensuing year. This is the statement mailed out by the American farm bureau. The meetings of the local units are set for February 7. A man must have been a member for not less than 20 days to be entitled to vote for delegates. The Grain Growers now claim a paid up membership of 36,500, which

means a collection of $365,000, minus salaries and expenses of solicitors, ofgce force, etc., on which no statement has yet been made. Presumably a

complete financial statement will be made at the annual meeting. . In the meanwhile subscriptions are pouring in from all points where active campaigning is on. . Future Prices For Wheat Guessing the market and the prediction of future prices for wheat or corn may be classed as hazardous occupations, particularly to the man who backs his judgment with his money. Right now a pretty bad crop scare hangs over the market. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of winter wheat in the dry belt. Seldom has the crop west of the Missouri river been forced to go without rain or snow for so long a time. There is no scarcity of cash wheat, but the tendency of the milling trade has been to buy only for current needs, rather than for a reserve stock. Developments in Kansas and the southwest may cause a runaway market with theopening of spring, depending on the status of the grain fields at that time. Our export surplus is not large, not more than could be disposed of in short order on crop scare news. Farmers are not in position to reap any large benefit from an advance in the price of wheat. The stocks on farms are comparatively small, are nil in many sections of the country. The wheat held is mostly "in strong hands," as the saying goes. The situation is entirely different as to corn or oats. "Why not serve hominy grits once

a week for the sake of variety in starchy vegetables?" asked some young man in the press service department of Secretary Wallace's office, in a communication to a thousand newspapers. The writer says that "southern hog and hominy is one of many good combinations." That is true, and the southerner knows a lot about "grits" as well. Relief organizations have used hominy grits with much satisfaction in Europe and Asia Minor, where it was relished in spite of its being an unfamiliar food. This agricultural essay is put out as

a suggestion that the consumption of more hominy and grits would help in reducing the corn surplus. It describes how to cook and serve, and tells how the southerner uses homipy and grits with all the pork cuts, both fresh and salted. Advice to Co-operators Students of the co-operative movement are not long in discovering that the idea is now country-wide. No one classes New Jersey as an agricultural state and still a world of stuff is grown on its soil. It is in easy reach of great consuming markeuand thus New Jersey truck farms have become known to millions for . their output of vegetables. New Jersey has a state bureau of

RURAL CARRIER, SLUGGED BY BANDIT, SAVES $2,000

WELLSBURG, W. Va., Jan. 10. Herman .Williams, a rural mail carrier out of here, was attacked by a highwayman today. He was knocked down with a club, and as he fell he reached for his pistol. The highwayman fled and Williams made his way to the house of a nearby farmer, where he collapsed. Physicians said his skull was fractured. Approximately $2,000 is said to have been included in the mail Williams carried.

COMMUNITY AUCTION AT BOSTON JAN. 26; BUILDING DISCUSSED BOSTON, Ind., Jan. 10.' Decision to hold a community sale on the las. Thursday of the month, and to investigate the possibility of erecting a community building in Boston township, were the two principal matters of business transacted at the meeting of the Boston township farmers' association in the schoolhouse, Monday night. A committee named to conduct an inquiry into the demand for a community hall and the possibly of con structing one, consisted of A. B. Parks, trustee, A. S. Nelson, hardware merchant, J. Peck, Samuel Stevens, T. W. Druley, Frank Brendley and Gweu Duke. The committee to manage the community sale, members of which will

list stock or merchandise for the sale, includes Morris Black," ' Harry Heinbaugh, George Kuhlman, Forrest Druley and Lewis Starr. Members of the association voted to buy fertilizer through the Federal marketing service or take none at all. . L.

Total freight, shrink, commissions, etc. $42,764.00

Many Additional Expenses of Doing Business The expenditure of 142.754 as above does not. include the "overhrad" at our yards, nor the cost of the labor employed in handling,, or the bills for feed, water, electric lighting, lumber used for car partitions, expense of trucks, cost of insurance, interest on our large investments or a hundred incidental outlays.

Handled, Fed and Watered in Transit The total number of carloads of live stock handled at G'.en Miller in 1921 was CS3. Of these 303 cars were '"in transit", and the live stock was unloaded, rested, fed and watered and then reloaded. The 683 cars contained 28,338 hogs, 6.643 cattle, 2.470 calves and 4,348 sheep. The local direct shipments comprised 3S0 carloads. There were 106 horses in the transit shipments.

As an individual or partnership enterprise the Glen Miller Stock Yards, at Richmond, represents a large outlay of money. Not the money of a rich corporation, obtained by the sale of stock, but the hard earned dollars of Clem A. Gaar and Rome Shurley, two of Richmond's citizens who, in the, course of years, built up one of the most complete and conviently arranged privately owned stock yards in America. This fact is conceded by every well-posted live stock shipper and traveling railway representative who have come this way. In May, 1921, Clem A. Gaar sold his interest in the Glen Miller Yards to the Shurleys, Rome and John, who are now sole owners of the plant.

FACTS FOR YOUR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION

Many appreciative Farmers and thoughtful merchants have told us that the value of the Glen Miller Stock Yars to Richmond can scarcely be estimated. Hundreds of farmers who have been our regular patrons for from 12 to over 20 years, agree in this. We are furnishing a cash market to a wide radius and are bringing in hundreds of thousands of eastern dollars annually to be deposited in Richmond Banks and spent with local merchants.

Farmers dealing with us have no freight bills, no dead hogs, no insurance bills, no commission charges. They get correct weights, and cash on the nail, within 30 minutes to two to three hours after leaving the farm, depending on the distance trucked. That hundreds of feeders have stuck by us for more than Twenty Years denotes their satisfaction, and explains the continuous growth of this institution.
