THE

The Farm and the Farmer - By William R. Sanborn

The farmers of the middle west are becoming restless and somewhat alarmed' over the unseasonable weather, the persistent rains and the delay In spring planting. In the section where the bulk ot the surplus corn crop Is grown plowing has been delayed and very little spring farm work has yet been done, compared with normal seasons. Farmers have been unable to plant oats or spring wheat, or to break much ground for corn In districts where at this date a year ago much of the corn ground was plowed and most ot the oats already sown. A farmer who dropped Into this office on Friday remarked that he had been plowing a 30-acre field for corn during the past three weeks, whenever both soil and weather were favorable for the work, and that he still had 10 acres of clover sod to break. This man has about 27 acres in wheat which looks promising and plenty of grass is showing all over the place, with a single exception. That exception is a large field which was sown to clover in the usual rotation, following corn and which, regardless of the open winter, seems to have been most effectually killed out. A part of that field will be planted to Sudan and a portion most likely to soys, said the farmer. Visible Supply of Grain Compared with the reserves in country elevators, in the mills everywhere and in farm storage, the visible supply cuts but a small figure, as to quantity. But as available for shipments and as a basis for speculative trading, the visible supply comes pretty near to being the "whole works." There are seasons when the visible should Increase right along NEW WILL RETURN TO INDIANA SUNDAY; FORCES SEE VICTORY INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., April 15. Harry S. New, United States senator from Indiana, will return to Indianapolis Sunday from Washington for a stay of several days, the length of his visit to depend upon matters pending before congress. It Is possible that Senator New will give personal at tention to his campaign for the nomination for senator during his time in Indiana, but it Is not certain that LeJ will be able to deliver any addresses. According to the statements given out by Fred I. King, Indiana manager for Senator New, the conditions throughout Indiana are such as to point conclusively to the nomination of Senator New at the primary. May 2. In some of the counties which a month ago were looked on as very favorable to Mr. Beveridge. the tide has turned, Mr. King asserted, and the reports coming into headquarters show gains In almost every locality. One of the interesting sidelights on the senatorial campaign In Indianapo lis is the statement made by Seth S Ward, a clerk in he city assessment bureau, who says that he has been discharged from his position because of his refusal to take charge of the speakers' bureau in behalf of Mr. Beveridge. Ward says that he was asked to take up this work and was told that he "should line up for Beveridee." Ward says that he declined and gave for his reason that he was for Senator New in this campaign. No statement as yet has been made by city administration representatives in reply to the charges of ward. Short News of City Children's Day Publicity The Kiwanis club publicity committee has been requested to co-operate with Miss Lena Hiatt In giving publicity to a special Sunday school day for children, according to a letter received by Karl Meyers, chairman of the Kiwanis club publicity committee, Saturday.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

and other seasons, at the tail end ot crops, when the supply should shrink consistent with, consumption, until the new crop grain begins Its flow to market In a review of last week's visible we find that we had grain in sight as follows: Wheat, 34.163,000; corn, 45,305,000; oats, 63,606,000; rye, 8,700,00; barley, 1,667,000 bushels. A comparison with stocks in sight one year ago shows that we now have about 16,000,000 more wheat; 12,600,000 more corn; 30,000,000 more oats; and 6,900,000 bushels more of rye, or a total of 65,936,000 bushels over stocks in sight on the same date in 1921. Of the grains tabulated regularly In the visible, barley is the only one showing a falling off compared with last year, the shrink being 400,000 bushels. Crop Report Service Our national crop reporting service is the best and most comprehensive so far devised by any country on earth. Thousands of men are engaged in this service, notably in the field, and many of the latter are volunteers who take pride in their stock and who cheerfully cover their townships according to a system which obtains results. The crop experts at Washington assemble these reports, check them by districts and states, and finally at the given hour send out the figures which are flashed across the continent. That any farm organization whatsoever can compete in such service or render It In any way more complete and correct, or get its conclusions earlier to even a small part of the public, would be an absurd claim. The unlimited money of the government. with the co-operation of the best trained minds and all the machinery needed, backed by years pf experience and aided In distribution by the various commercial bodies and the entire press of the country, comes as near to "filling the bill" as could be hoped for. The best that any or all farm organizations can do Is to voluntarily co-operate In this government service, conducted for public information and the general good. Sales of 1922 Wheat Between one and two million bushels of 1922 crop winter wheat was con' tracted for export shipment, mostly for late August and early September delivery on Thursday of this week. That's right, and we admit that this wheat has not yet been grown, but we are counting that it will be and that the English and Continental buyers will receive it in due course, and at the prices already set and agreed on. How can they set prjees on and made sales of wheat which is not yet grown, and in the case of spring wheat not yet planted, you want to know? Ask the grain houses at Chicago and Winnipeg, the members of the Chicago Board of Trade, also the various heads of the grain exporting concerns which hold memberships In the important exchanges, both east and west, also in many instances in the principal European grain exchanges as welh The supplying of the world with bread is a great business; a business that Is organized to the last detail; also, It is widely claimed, It is organized on the most economical basis. As we sit and write we are reminded that at this particular hour there are more than 65,000,000 bushels of wheat alone "on passage," that Is, afloat at sea, bound for various ports of consumption, some on consignment and subject to sale orders on arrival, but mostly sold at agreed figures before the ships left their home ports. Some of this rain It was loaded at some Australian port, was bought In the Argentines, much of a lot of it was grown in the United States or Canada, while other vessel loads were grown In India, Manchuria, etc. Surely the wheat market is an international affair, gentlemen, because bread Is an article of universal demand and consumption throughout civilization.

HOUSE TO VOTE ON AMENDMENT FIXING 86,000 NAVAL FORCE WASHINGTON, April 15. The house by unanimous consent agreed today to vote late this afternoon on an amendment to the naval appropriation bill providing for an enlisted force of 86.000 men. The vote will come at the end of four hours' debate which started shortly after one o'clock. Some had advocated a split between the committee figures and the Mc Arthur amendment calling tor 86,000 which had the endorsement of President Harding, but as It had narrowed down to a straight test between "big and little" navy men, neither side seemed willing to consider a compromise. Should the committee proposal be adopted as Chairman Kelley claimed, there would be no chance of a recorded vote in the house proper. But should the amendment providing for 86,000 win. as its backers claimed. Chairman Kelley said he would demand a record vote next week in the house, in the hope of overturning It. Responding to a request for an opin ion as to the enlisted force necessary for the treaty navy, made by Repre sentative Longworth, Republican, O., the president in a letter presented to the house yesterday said he did not believe it ought to be cut below 86,000.
