GRAIN PRICES (Markets ty E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGGO, May 10. Wheat Moet of the business today 'was done In the first hour, but the late tone of the market was strong at a good recovery lrom the low prices reached early. The ruling that track delivery -was legal did not have much influence. The strength late was due to lack of selling pressure and scattered short covering, encouraged by firmer cables and reports of strength In outside cash markets. Seaboard reported 400,000 wheat worked for export. Corn Liquidation of long holdings by local professionals featured the early trading. A large part of the
session witnessed a dull and feature less trade, with the price range slight ly above the low of the day. Cash '4 c higher. Shipping sales. 175,000 bushels. Oats Oats held within a relatively narrow limit but showed considerable resistance to selling pressure. Cash demand fair and price about unchanged.. Country offerings small.

For 12 years he was head of the bureau of forestry of the United States , government This experience coincided for seven years with the presidency of Roosevelt, and Nr. Pinchot as an intimate of Roosevelt, was frequently described as one of the members of Roosevelt's "tennis cabinet. Pinchot came conspicuously to the front as the champion spokesman of the policy of conservation of national resources In the Ballinger controversy during the presidency of Taft. It was during that fight that Finchot left the government service. Has Chance Now. For the last few years he has been the head of the forest service of the state of Pennsylvania. Under ordinary circumstances, and especially as long as the late Senator Penrose was head of the Pennsylvania Republican machine, a man of Mr. Pinchot's type would hardly have the faintest chance to win an elective office in Pennsyl vania. It 13 the partial disruption of the old Pennsylvania machine incident to Penrose's death that has given to Pinchot the opportunity he now has. The fight is staged almost wholly between what remains of the old Perm svlvania machine, whose candidate is the present attorney-general of the state, Alter, and Pinchot, running as an outsider with the aid of some slight support from an Insurgent section of

LEAGUE OF NATIONS CONVENES THURSDAY FOR 17TH SESSION (Rv Associated Press) GENEVA, May 10. The eighteenth - session of the Council of the League of Nations will open here tomorrow with the prospect of several important questions now before the Genoa economic conference coming up for discussion. The possibility, for one thing, of the league going extensively into the Russian question is seen in a request filed with the league by Norway, asking for an independent inquiry into the famine In Russia. It is also thought probable that the Genoa conference will refer to the league the Warsaw health convention which was drawn up recently at the Polish capital by all the European powers, including Russia and Germany. This convention calls for a general European anti-epidemic crusade to cost nearly $7,000,000. ' May Bury Question The council of the league took advantage of the Genoa conference to refer the anti-epidemic project to the leading European statesmen there, but it is believed In league circles that the question will be buried in the general mass of problems under examination at Genoa and will have to be considered finally by the league council. The session of the council is exipected to last a week. It will be presided over by Count Quinones de Leon, Spanish ambassador to France league, is more than 500 pages long. It constitutes In effect a final settle ment of the vexed Upper Silesian problem. Mandates for the former German colonies and the Albanian problem also will be considered by the council. . . Students Carry Away Specimens From Museum COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 10. Men believed to be students of Colorado college here last night entered Palmer hall on the college property and carried hundreds of specimens from the $50,800 museum to the campus. According to signs painted on sidewalks the action was a protest against the administration of C. A. Duniway, president of the college. CHANGE ASS'N NAME (By Associated Press) ST. LOUIS. Mo., May 10. A nronos al to change the name of the South-1 i" uviroaic VI i ut,ci a aooUwiaLlUU IU the American Wholesale Grocers' association was discussed at today's session of the convention of the former organization here. E. L. Adams of Jacksonville, Fla., secretary of the association said the change in name was proposed because the organization has members in virtually every state in the Union and that it no longer was a sectional association. the old machine. The issues involved include largely Pinchot's personality and public record, which is of the sort to appeal to women voters and to all the old Roosevelt element in Pennsylvania. Added to. this is the issue of charges of extravagance and other forms of mismanagement of the state government under the administration of the Republican organization. Pinchot's support is rather more powerful than that of any other man who has ever contended against the Pennsylvania Republican machine. (Copyright 1922, by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)

The Farm and By William R.
Nine of the twelve townships in Preble county are now organized for club work with an enrollment of about 180 members. Twin, Jefferson and Harrison townships have not as yet reported any club organizations. The club activities cover foods, clothing, pigs, poultry, etc. It 13 -expected that Jefferson township will organize a pig club during present ween, aim that every township in the county will be engaged in some sort of club work during the summer. Bv timing Chicago clocks on the daylight-saving plan Chicago and Washington time is now on the same Identical time basis. The government crop report sent out of Washington at 2:15 on Tuesday afternoon began to be received on the same minute by Chicago clocks, instead of being locally a full hour later, as per standard time. "Regular" deliveries of grain In speculative markets means the tendering of elevator receipts for the quantities specified. The only exception to this rule has been on occasions when there was a corner on and the directors have made deliveries of inspected wheat on track "regular" to protect sellers who were unable to get their grain unloaded. There were 2,645 cars of grain on track at Chicago on Monday, 1,640 of whicn were on track for orders and inspec tion. Because of the congested snape of the May deal and the heavy arrivals of grain from all western points to fill sales, the Tribune is of the opinion that car lots on track may be made "regular" in settlement of May con-; tracts. It is the pressure of the May deal which has caused the eratic price changes in wheat of late. Value of Farm Bureau Dennis Murphy, president of a South Dakota county farm bureau, prints a ten minute chat in the farm bureau weekly news letter, in which he tells of the value of the farm bureau to him. He 13 farming 320 acres and lists his savings because of farm bureau activities at Washington at $379.50; divided as follows: $140.00 a year by the defeat of the Nolan bill. 166.00 a year by the defeat of the Sales Tax bill. 27.50 a year by the defeat of the Transportation tax. 30.00 a year by the reduction of railroad over-valuation. 16.00 a year by the reduction of railroad rates. $379.50 Mr. Murphy's statement supports the contention that one can prove anything by figures, even to what a sales tax would cost a farm family, regardless of the amount of this tax per dollar. "Sound like a fairy tale, doesn't it?" says Mr. Murphy, who advises farmers to take a pad and a pencil and figure it out for themselves. This saving of $379.50 says Farmer Murphy, "I can figure out for myself, but what I can't figure out is the untold good the American farm bureau has, done in their great educational campaign to enlighten the city people, the consumers of our products, as to the condition and need of the American farmer?" There i3 where he gets on solid ground. Praises the Organization Farmer Murphy praises the work of the organization, and says that the farm bureau has "done more for farmers in two years than has been done in the entire history of the country before." And he warns that we must not slip back but keep the mem bership not only at full strength, but ever growing. He cites the fact that the farm bureau has organized the cotton, wool and grain growers and are now organizing the live stock producers along the same generai lines. Taken as a whole the Murphy! ten-minute talk covers quite a lot of! ground and affords ammunition fori T LA

1922 BY I NT-1. FEATURE the Farmer Sanborn farm bureau speakers, in a condensed form. New Produce Exchange The Farm Bureau Produce exchange is the name of the produce sales department of the Michigan state farm bureau to be opened on the Detroit market this month under the direction of Frank L. Bloom as manager. Mr. Bloom has been Mich!gan manager for the American Frui urowers, inc., for several years. The Produce exchange will handle produce for member associations only and will notify them when It is ready to receive produce. It proposes to provide without profit and on a pure-1 ly co-operative basis a reliable distribution and sales service for pro duce such as fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, butter, cheese, dressed hogs, veal calves, etc. handled by farm bureau units and other co-operative associations of producers which are now or ' later become affiliated with the State Farm Bureau. Kansas Apples for Kansas The Kansas state farm bureau is organizing a system . to distribute Kansas apples to the people in Kansas who have no apples, or who do not grow fruit enough to supply the home demand. The marketing committees of the county farm bureaus, where such are organized, will provide the marketing machinery. This process will save on long haul freights and cut out some o the expense of buying apples from commission men who pay the lowest possible price when buying outright, and then are In the habit of charging the last cent the consumer will stand for. That is what farmers have found to be the rule in the cities, at any rate. It is to be sincerely hoped that the newly organized national fruit sales association, organized by growers and co-operators, will be able to get a little larger portion of the consumer's dollar for the man who grows the fruit, thi3 being exactly what the association is designed to do. As an advertisement of the fact that the owner is a member of the farm bureau an enterprising firm at Piano, Illinois, is manufacturing an emblem to attach to automobiles. The emblem consists of an alluminum shield "in silver, blue, red and black, with Farm Bureau across the face and the letters A. F. B. F. below," as we are told. Plant Potatoes Ju!y 1 According to a letter just received from the Missouri experiment sta tion the best yields of potatoes in that state are from late plantings, Here is what the experiment station man said "It is next to useless to underaverage Missouri conditions to plant po tatoes during May. Yields four times as great usually result from July 1 plantings if the seed potatoes are held in storage at thirty-four to forty degrees. Storage in an ordinary cool cellar has been successful at the Missouri experiment station." Inasmuch as no mention is made of June plantings we wonder if "July 1" isn't a misprint? About Peanut Feed Hogs Cooperative soft-pork experiments conducted by the Department of Agriculture and the State experiment stations of Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina during the last three years have shown conclusively that when hogs, starting atj a weight of approximately 100 pounds, are fed on peanuts in the dry lot or grazed in the field for a period of 60 days or more, a soft carcass is proJ , 9 .

Many farmers in the South have th iidea that soft hogs can be hardened by 30 days of feeding on corn and tankage. But, acocrding to the department, it has not been shown that this can be done in twice that time. Next autumn the department will start feeding tests to last 90 and even 120 days in an effort to determine just how long it takes to form a soft hog carcass. It is an important problem, as the firmness of the carcass has a very noticeable effect on the price paid by packers. Acid Phosphate For Com An Illinois man asked Wallace's Farmer: "Will it pay me to use acid phosphate on corn? How much of it does most soils require per acre? To these inquiries the editor replied as follows One hundred pounds of acid phos phate per acre will ordinarily Increase the yield of corn by about four bushels. In addition, It puts the soil in a little better shape for growing clover a year or two later. With corn at present prices it is very doubtful if it pays to use acid phosphate, but with prices as they existed before the war, acid phosphate could be used with profit by nearly all of the farmers in the eastern part of the corn belt and many of the farmers in the western part. Probably the most practical way of applying acid phosphate is with a fertilizer attachment to the corn planter." Offering Free Swimming Instruction at Y.M.C.A. Teaching a child to swim is one of the achievements of George H. Corsan. swimming instructor, who will be at the local Y. M. C. A. from May 15 to 20, to give free swimming instructions to those who desire them. Anybody who wishes to receive instructions under Mr. Corsan may do so by applying to the Y. M. C. A. desk for admission to the swimming pool during Mr. Corsan's stay in Richmond. America's productive capacity is estimated at 5 percent in excess of its capacity for consumption.
