beginning lade. Sentiment changed to the bearish side stop loss orders were caught on the way down. Late prices were rather weak with liquidation on in all grains. Corn was firmer early with wheft but eased with wheat later in the session with prices closing a little better than the low. The government report said farm worl backward although warm weather favored germanation in the southern states. Cash demand continues slow -with receipts light. Cash markets steady to 4 higher. Oats -were strong early with a good dal of changing going between July and May, closed about the lowes" of day. Outs are in stronger position than other grains owing to the delay in seeding. But stocks are very large. Cash markets about steady.

KIMMEL-DISHER SALE

NETS OWNERS $1,625; GOOD PRICES ON HOGS By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Any farmer setting April 11 as the date of his sale might reasonably count on having a fair, warm day and a pretty good crowd. But the weatherman is capricious; you can't depend on him, nor on the almanac, either, as was proven by Estey Kimmel and Virgil Disher on Tuesday. The KimmelDisher sale was held in Preble county, some two miles south and a little west of Eldorado. But the cold rain and high winds did not prevent their having a fair crowd of buyers who were willing to pay good prices, especially for the hogs on offer. Included in the live stock were three head of horses, one span of mules, seven milch cows and heifers, and 69 head of Duroc hogs. There were but five bred sows in this collection, which were carted home by Edward Shaefer at a cost of $107.50 for the lot. The demand for shoats was active enough to clean the various pens out in record time, the first pen of 10 head going to Clarence Fudge at a total of $122. Edward Markey picked out 10 of lighter weight at $8.95 each. Mr. Markey later took in 18 head of feeders at 217 for the bunch. Robert Renner also captured 18 head after spirited bidding at a total cost of $149.60. Three Best Buyers In the horse and mule ring the three best buyers were: Tyler Fudge, who paid $180 for the span of mules; Henry Poffenbarger, who bid a bay horse up to $127, and Ervin Coning, who selected a bay mare at $52.50. H. E. Fulkerson, of New Madison, made the settlements and reports a net of $1,625. No grain or hay was sold, and but a few implements went under the hammer. A small bunch of cows added materially to the receipts, three of the cows selling with calves at side. Of these two red cows cost John Conley $61.50 and $68, respectively. Tebe Beard got a good black cow and her calf at the modest cost of $57.50, while Edward Shaefer got a nice Jersey heifer for $43. O. C. Schwing, of Eaton, conducted the sale. FORM CO OPERATIVE ORCHARD SPRAY RING IN DALTON DISTRICT D ALTON, Ind., April 12. A co-operative orchard spray ring has been formed in Dalton neighborhood, with 10 members and several hundred trees listed for treatment at the first opportunity. Equipment has been ordered from Chicago and the first operation of it by U. M. Stewart, an experienced sprayer, will be made the occasion of a public demonstratioa at which J. L. Dolan, county agent, will be present. This ring was formed in answer to urgent demand for it by farmers of Dalton township, at the last farmers' institute. The neighborhood is ideal for fruit growing, with perfect ir drainage on many farms and soils well adapted to fruit. Formation of the spray ring is ?uo to the action of the Dalton township farmers' association. It investigated thi possibilities and stood sponsor for the organization which is composed largely of association members also . Operations of the ring will begin with a spray for coddling moth, the cause of wormy apples, applied just after the petals drop.

r e rarm ana By William If rainwater were a spraying solu-j tion, what a tremendous crop of fruit we might anticipate this year. Or even if heavy rains resulted in drowning our insect fruit pests the results of all the recent downpours would be beneficial. But no such luck.gentlemeA. Insect life is ever at war with man and the orchardist, crop grower and gardener must fight back according "to season and circumstances, or stand the loss. If you have a nice orchard, or simply a few good fruit trees on the place, you will find it profitable to both trim and spray. It isn't euch a big job but it is important. One greatly needed spray is that given just before the buds open. That single spraying will do much to insure clean, wholesome and salable fruit, should you desire to sell. You may find it an advantage to use three or four sprays during the season of growth, but the dormant spray and the one just as the buds are ready to open are too important to be missed. Lime sulfur and lead arsenate do. not cost a fortune and will be found mighty good investments. The ragged, rundown,' bedraggled condition of hundreds of farm orchard trees explains why the fruit is knotty, flavorless and no account. Trees which are never pruned, sprayed, mulched or cared for, simply cumber the ground and disfigure the landscape. Thousands of farm orchards, once the delight of their owners, have fallen into decay and ruin through lack of a little thought, work and helpful care. This is true the country over, we regret to say. This fact explains the growing scarcity of home grown fruits and why so many farm folk either buy fruit which is transported hundreds of miles, or go without fresh fruits, almost entirely. One Tale of Woe You must hold Rome Shurley responsible for this pessimistic tale of a real loss in the hog lot of a progressive young farmer, living a couple of miles fouth of Williamsburg, and possibly on his father's place. As Mr. Shurley tells it this aspiring young farmer bought and raised a total of 32 gilts which were duly bred and which also have all duly farrowed. Nothing very strange or striking in this story so far, but let us have your attention another minute, please, for here comes the climax. At last report the young man still had the 32 sows, also 23 pigs. What happened to the balance of the pigs which were farrowed? To this pertinent question we can only say: "Nothing happened to them; they just up and died." Being unable to connect up by phone we are omitting names and further particulars, which either the father or son would doubtless cheerfully furnish, could we talk to them. We simply cite this instance as but one among many showing heavy losses of pigs this spring. Farmers in some districts are heavier losers than farmers in some other districts, but taken as a whole the losses of pigs throughout Indiana this year may be considered serious. We may include Ohio in that statement, also other states in the corn belt. An Ohio Man's Experience Charles Hildeboldt, a farmer living near Eaton, states that his loss of pigs this season has not exceeded lb per cent, including those which "came dead." Mr. Hildeboldt is a member of the executive committee of the Ohio Duroc-Jersey association and he attended the recent conference of Duroc breeders at Columbus.

The best known and most careful and well prepared breeders, he said, were among the losers, and that not one of them seemed able to give a satisfactory reason for these fatalities. The problem which the Duroc men failed to solve is troubling breeders of all classes of swine this season. Packers as Country Buyers. The average farmer well remember.? when the big packers made it their business to send buyers into the country, to buy in competition with local buyers and shippers. This was largely done west of Chicago, Kansas Citv and Omaha for a number of years, all classes of live stock being handled in this way. Perhaps you had thought this plan of doing 'business entirely abolished, which Is not the case. Corny paratively little of this class of packetbuying is now done, but there is enough of it to cut some ice in several districts and the fact that manv hogs arrive at Chicago, billed direct to packers, is frequently a matter of press comment. A part of these hogs come direct from other western centers, from yards where the packer may be able in open competition to pick up desirable stuff to kill at another plant located farther, east. But regardless of this fact, some packers do buy in the country, and one proof of this is the Mistleto private yard in Kansas City. These yards are owned by the Fowlers, a subsidary of the Armour house. Many Kansas and Mis souri farmers ship direct to these yards. But why? Well, for one thin?, there are no yardage fees, nor any commission charges to be paid by the shipper; nor any such charges on stock bought by the packer's buyer, either. The stock belongs to the packer on arrival and is his to care for. at whatever price he remits net to the shipper, on stock consigned direct.
