Markets
GRAIN PRICES j .(Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union Bank Building.) j CHICAGO, Jan. 16. Wheat Selling j of wheat induced by the factor of the decrease in the visible "was not a", great as expected. There was how-. ever, a rather good, demand on the j et back, and the market made a fair '. Tally. In a general way, the market was very quiet. No export demand was reported and one exporter report ed having an order from Italy to cancel some Manitobas. There was no Teal pressure to sell, nor was there any important buying outside of that from the northwest. Liverpool was a shade higher and Argentine a little lower. Corn It was very low market prices Jiolding steady. There was a little hedging. Cash markets held up remarkably well under the weight of the bis reaction. Exporters were in the market in anticipation or tne nusian relief orders to be placed Wednesday, but nothing definite. Oats The interest shown was nartow and the market was dull and witheift feature. Cash little higher. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union Bank Building.) CHICAGO, Jan. 16. Following is the range of futures on Chicago Board

The rarm ana the rarmer By William R. Sanborn
The Associated Duroc-Jersey breeders of the five counties in Richmond district are not unmindful of the attraction lent to any gathering by the service of a good dinner. They pronose, to furnish one of these good dinners at their meeting in the Richmond high school auditorium on Sat-j iirdav. Januarv 21. According to me this dinner will be served "for a nominal sum and will include roast pig". Now roast pig is a most tempting morsel, being flavory, juicy and tender. An old man, with just a few wooden teeth, can get away with a lot of it, or mayhap without any teeth whatsoever. Roasted and browned and seasoned to suit, the pig makes a succulent dish, fit for the President and U. S. A., or that of the wisest nndd best farmer in Indiana. Roast pig. indeed, stands in a class by itself. The dinner is but a small part of the enjoyable program of the day. Music, addresses and moving pictures are included, beginning with music by Beeson's orchestra at 10 o'clock and the opening address by Charles Trowbridge, of Mays, Ind., at 10:15. Who is the star of the moving picture cast, do you ask? The films were taken at the National Swine Show; you can guess the rest. All breeders will be welcomed and all pig club members are especially invited, regardless of the breed of hog they are most interested in. Prof. E. L. Austin, of Purdue, assistant state club leader, will address the assemblage in the afternoon. C. C. Terrell, of New Vienna, Ohio, is on the morning program. Mr. Armour's Views Whatever the Armour house may say regarding the live stock or meat trade is always of interest to farmers as well as to consumers and traders in general. The following review given out last Saturday sounds an encouraging note to live stock growers "Marked improvement characterized meat trade this week. Or especial interest was the renewal of buying for foreign account. English trade is in the market for quantities of meat as well as lard, reviving a phase of the market dormant for many weeks. Beef trade is on a very satisfactory basis. "Trade in the cured product is on a good basis, and while not so large, it volume as at this time last year, it is quite within . seasonal proportions. Collections are fair." .. Record Breaking Corn Receipts The receipts of corn at Chicago in 1921 were more than double those of 1920, and also 50,000.000 bushels in excess of the former high mark. The total was 184,400,000 bushels. Receipts of wheat and oats fell below the average, at 45,635,000 for wheat and 82,723,000 bushels of oats. If the receipts of corn at other primary markets increased in 1921 on a parity with the increase at Chicago, this will partially explain why so much corn has been sold below the cost of production. To Hold Members in Line The fact that the officers of the Farmer's co-operative Shipping association, of Baxter, Iowa, found it difficult to keep all their members in line last year caused the holding of a reorganization meeting on December 16. The committees appointed to can vass the territory reported over 100 members signed up by January 1. No members were accepted unless they signed the producers' contract, and no stock to be shipped from non-members. The association had shipped 103 cars of live stock up to date of the meeting.
A
i V -i ' 1 the pasture to the kitchen and an eg from the hen to the breakfast table." The three departments are combining their activities to reduce expenses and avoid duplication in the probe. A report from 91 cities shows that the average price paid per 100 pounds for milk last December was $2.56, against $3.41 in December 1920. But the "average" price is not important to the milk grower at the bottom of the line. Prices vary widely in diflerent states and districts, in fact the i r." umrru, ut-pt-iiuing ou nuerous factories. Wheat Prices in July One of the evidences of what the speculator thinks or hopes for as to the next wheat crop, may be gleaned from the price cn the July option in various markets, including the Canadian. Taking a recent day for comparison we find that July wheat at Chicago made a low of 98'i; St Louis, 9614; Kansas City, 93. and Toledo, $1.05. These prices are for deliveries of No. 2 red. or equivelant grade and value. Minneapolis and Winnipeg are the primary spring wheat markets and their prices are higher, Minneapolis making a low on the same date of $1.114 and Winnipeg touching bottom at $1,05, for as good an article as is grown anywhere. The farmer will scarcely expect to see wheat, freight paid and delivered below these quotations next July. That doesn't appear reasonable at this time. But is is the unexpected which so frequently happens. The leeway would seem on the "long" side of the market, and th chances of an advance from these low spots be the most probable by the time the July option becomes a cash article. The quotations given simply shows the present trend of speculative opinion. Apple Growers Complain And now it is the apple growers who are complaining of the excess profits made by the middlemen. They have just closed a session of the American Pomological society, at Chicago, where the applemen told of their various marketing costs and troubles, and what they obtained for their fruit. Having done this they decided that it was up to them to enlighten the general public as to the facts, and to show that the apple growers have made little profit and that it is the middlemen who are inflating the costs to the consumer. Their advertisine should make interesting read inc. lWhen a farmer has to trade a bushel . . . , of corn for four or five choice apples there must either too much corn, too few apples, or a lot of graft or profiteering in the handling of the fruit. Burninq the Buas In our talks with farmers about the! advisability of burning a few millions I of chinch bugs, as the farm and rural papers have been urging, two objections have been raised. First, farmers are taking into account what damage the fire may do to their fences and, secondly, the need for concerted action to make the work effective. Where the infection was bad last year not only long streches of farm fences will need attention but, in places, lanes and roadways should be cleaned up. The use of the scythe and the piling of the grass and weds into piles for burning will help a lot," said a Center township farmer, "but will not exactly! tin tne Din. loo many chinches are dormant, below where the cut would would come." All corn belt agricultural colleges in infested states are advising "burning while the burning is good." Whatever little or much may be done in infested spots will help to keep down the threatened damage in

RANDOLPH FARMERS WARNED ABOUT SEED
WINCHESTER, Ind., Jan. 16. In formation is being sent out by the county agent's office of Randolph coun ty to farmers in that territory regarding sale of seed and the requirements of the new state law in regard to labeling, warning them that all seed sold in lots of a pound or more, and advertised throught the mails, or sent over a common carrier, or sold in another way than from one neighbor ! to another, must be tagged. Directions are given for sampling and for getting samples tested by Purdue or by the state seed commissioner. The same letter also gives a report on the results of seed potato demonstrations on 97 farms in 10 Indiana counties which showed yields of 90 bushels as compared with 148 pounds for selected seed. Randolph county grew 625 acres of potatoes last year with a yield in some cases as low as 54 bushels. 100 PREBLE SHIPPERS DISCUSS ADVANTAGES OF CO-OPERATIVE ASS'N EATON, Ohio, Jan. 16. Establishment of a county co-operative livestock shipping association in Preble county was discussed at a meeting held in the courthouse Saturday and attended by over a hundred representative shippers from all parts cf the county. The operation of the 51 county co operatives already in operation in Ohio was explained by A. F. Poter of the Grain and Livestock Marketing depart men of the Ohio farm bureau. A statistical report showing the number of cars and head of each sort of stock, the market weights, price received, the total expense per hundred weight, the loss (covered by insurance) and the snnnnage ror eacn sort or stock, was distributed among those present. Darke county .shipping to Pittsburg, has an average shipping cost of 80 cents a hundred, and a shrink, per hundred weight, of three pounds for hogs. The average shipping cost for the whole state, for the month of December, was 71 cents, the lowest cost in the year, the highest state average cost having been 75 cents. The average shrink for hogs for Decehmer was 2.5 pounds. The average cost of shipping for nine months was 72 cents and the average shrink, 2.8 pounds. Those present expressed themselves as being in favor of the advantages of co-operative shipping, and voted to meet again within a month, after further investigation, and inquiry among the communities.

LESS HESSIAN FLIES,
MORE OTHER PESTS, SAYS OHIO REPORT fBy Associated Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio. Jan. 16. The Hessian fly menace to the wheat crop In Ohio is dwindling, but other pests are increasing, according to H. A. Gossard of the Ohio experiment station. A recent survey of the state by the experiment station showed that the average infestation has fallen from 44 per cent in 1920, to 17 per cent. Hessian fly infestation in years when it is not considered a menace is from 3 to 10 per cent, with an average of 6 to 7 per cent, according to Gossard. The counties most heavily Infested n T-Tt r- l f 111 11 c o r, rA inotlfw I ,'Q . ' 1 ' . -.1 in' owvc, auu JU.3UIJ vavi a precautions during the coming growing season to cope with it. Chinch Bugs Increasing Chinch bugs seemingly are increasing, Gossard said. They were found in considerable numbers over most of northwestern Ohio and in restricted localities in northeastern Ohio. Due to dry weather conditions last summer, th western half of the state may be infested seriously this summer, Gossard declared. The wheat midge, commonly known as "red weevil," the survey shows is numerous over the southern and southwestern counties. The bearded varieties of wheat seem to suffer much less from this insect, research showed, than the smooth or awnless kinds. This insect likely will be conspicuous again this growing season, it was asserted. Infestation by the wheat jolntworm proved to be very light last season, not more than one to four per cent for most counties, although 25 per cent was recorded for Henry county, according to the survey. This insect is hardly in the reckoning. Gossard said, for 1922, although it is increasing slightly in numbers.
