lie Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

"We understand from a chat with Foster Campbell, agricultural agent for Union county, that smuj is more widespread than common in Union this year. Not that it is a generally serious menace to the crop but taken in the aggregate there may be an appreciable percentage of loss at harvest time. Regarding conditions generally Mr. Campbell states that owing to rains and other early unfavorable conditions some wheat growers are now counting on but 70 per cent of an av

erage crop. Some otters claim that

their wheat is heading out In fino

shape and that they are anticipating

a satisfactory harvest. ! The manager of the elevator at Kitchell is not over-sanguine as to some of the wheat in his immediate section of the country. He said on Friday afternoon that there was complaint that much of It was not heading out as well as had been expected earlier. Says that In several instances the wheat is not only heading short but that grains are few, and, as he says, such wheat cannot show well in the threashing machine. He says, however, that not all the wheat in his district, or in the county, Is subject to that description. There are "some fields that are showing up better than others, which is, of course, the usual

condition In any wheat country. Gustafson For Senator

The members of the U. S. Grain Grower family in this section, as well

as co-operator8 generally, will be interested in the announcement that C. H. Gustafson. head of the Grain Growers and American farm bureau official, is being entered In the senatorial race by his friend3 in Nebraska. J. A. Crawford, representative of the Grain Growers at Lincoln, announces Mr. Gustafson's candidacy for the

count of commission charges to other than bona fide members of the association. Mr. Ashby notifies the Indianapoli3 Star that complaints had been received at his office that the Producer folks "was advertising that they would make refunds to all shippers, regardless of their membership In the organization." He states that he referred these complaints to Washington and had received an opinion from Chester A. Morrill, assistant secretary of agriculture, who vetoed promiscuous rebating by stating that this was a violation of section 312 of the act.

The Star states that the following

paragraph was Included in the letter

to Mr. Ashby: The Law as Construed

"It Is suggested that you call the attention of the local officers of the Producers Commission Company to Sec. 306 of the packers and" stock yards act, in which It clearly appears that a refund can be made only to a bona fide member of a co-operative association of producers. Futhermore, it should be understood that any advertising which states expressly or by implication that refunds will be mado to all shippers, regardless of their

membership in the organization, is a

deceptive practice, and, therefore, In violation of Sec. 312 of the packers and stock yards act. A short time ago this matter was explained to the attorneys of the national organization

and it Is hoped that within a short time all the co-operative organizations will understand tho requirements of the law under which they are operating. "It occurs to us that when this Interpretation of the law is made clear to the Producers Association at your market, they will be willing to com

ply with the provisions of the law and

TURK NATIONALISTS PROTEST BOMBARDING

(Bv Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, June 10. The Turkish Nationalist representative here today presented to the allied hijsh commissioners a protest against the bombardment of Samsun on the Baltic sea by a Greek squadron on Wednesday. The Turks charged that the fleet was ordered to shell the town with the intention of provoking an xi prising of the Greeks there against lhe Turkish state. The communication called upon the allies to prevent further bloodshed in the near east by the evacuation of Anatolia. The Greeks advance the claim that the firing was directed only against the ammunition dumps at Samsun, which were exploded. The warehouse of tho American Tobacco company was slightly damaged.

SEEK FATHER, BROTHER OF WALTER S. WARD

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., June 10. Sheriff's deputies today were searching for George S. Ward and Ralph D. Ward, father and brother of Walter S. Ward, confessed slayer of Clarence Fcters, ex-sailor. Subpoenaes for Ward's father and brother were issued yesterday, but thev had left the elder Ward's home

in Spuyten Duyvil a few hours before the serverc appeared. The authorities want to question the father of Walter S. Ward regarding the blackmail plot, said by his son to have caused the killing of Peters in a fight on the Kensico reservoir road, May 16. The reasons for the reported message from Ward to his son "not a cent for blackmail, but I will spend $75,000 to put the gang in jail" are desired by the county officials, who also want to learn just how much Ward money has been paid the blackmailers and who made the demands.

OUT OF EXISTENCE,

SAYS STATISTIC HEAD

(By Associated Press)

HONOLULU. T. H., June 10. The Hawaiian race is not "dying out," but in reality is "marrying Itself out of existence." according to a statement

made here by Miss M. Hester Lemon,! registrar of vital statistics. Although there has been no material increase in the death rate of pureblooded Hawaiians during the past four years, the birth rate for the calendar year 1921 showed a material decrease as compared with those of the four preceding years and indicated that Hawaiian men and women are destroying their own race by marrying Into other groups, she said. "It will be seen readily that this practice will tend to increase the partHawaiian population and at the same time decrease the pure Hawaiian population insofar as the future is concerned," she added. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, there were 169 marriages between pure Hawaiian couples. In ad

dition to these, 58 Hawaiian men mar-,

ried women of other races and

Hawaiian women were married to men of other groups. Birth3 among pure Hawaiian families during the calendar year 1921 were 42 less in number than those registered during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921,

PHILADELPHIA, June 10. John Cienso of Wakefield, Mass., arrested here last week on suspicion of being the mysterious "Jack" wanted by New

York authorities in connection with the killing of Clarence Peters by Walter S. Ward, has been discharged. Investigation, the authorities said, showed that, he had no connection with the case.

JAPAN WILL DROP 10,000 FROM NAVY

(By Associated Tress) TOKIO, June 10. Ten thousand men and several hundred officers will be dropped from the Japanese navy in line with the scrapping agreements reached at the Washington arms conference, according to an official of tho navy department. Those discharged will receive compensation from the government.

Private deckyards which will suffer loss by halting of construction on war vessels will be reimbursed for their

expenditures, if the plans for arma-

ment reduction being drawn up by the

navy authorities are approved. It is understood that the govern

ment does not intend to make any reduction this year in the ranks of the

skilled workmen employed in the im

perial yards, as all these men will be needed in the work of scrapping ships

which comes under the treaty axe. The cruisers Amagi and Akagi, which Japan gave up under the Wash

ington tre2tv, will be converted into

airplane carriers. Each has a tonnage of 26,000 and will be reconditioned to

carry 50 airplanes, it is expecrea they will be ready for service by 1924. Another carrier, the Hosho, 9.600 tons, will have a capacity of 20 planes and w'H be in commission also in 1924. The department plans to build two torpedo tenders soon. The Chinese and New Zealanders believe that red frightens evil spirits. Australia is the world's largest producer of wool.

reau, and has been erstwhile responsible for Farmers' Equity wheat pools in the northwest. His Greatest Need We have an idea that Ebenezer Podstarter Isn't the young fanner's real name, because of all the thous

ands of farmers we know, there Is not a Podstarter in the whole shooting match. Be this as It may the editor of Pathfinder relates the following: "An Ohio farmer received this letter from a young man who had been paying attention to his daughter: "deer sur: 1 wood like to marry your dawter Maybe, she iz In luv with me and I need a wife, no more at present from yures trewly Ebeuezer Podstarter." The farmer in reply wrote him this

letter: "Friend Ebenezer: You don't need a wife: what you need seems to be a Bpelling-book. Get one and study it for a year, and then write me again." A story of that caliber Is somewhat of a libel on the young farmer of this generation, but In some offices a joke on the farmer Is always In order. Heavy Steera at High Packers bid the highest dollar of the year for heavy steers at Chicago this week. Armour paid $9.60 for two loads averaging 1,475 pounds, on Thursday, which was 10 cents over tho previous high for steers of this class. Yearlings averaging 1,043 pounds brought $9.55 on the same date, while common to fair beef steers ruled 10 cents lower on the day. A small

bunch of hogs sold for $11 at Chicago on June 8. Owing to excessive sup

ply sheep and lambs have been on the

down grade at western points for most!

of the week. Board of Trade Objects Representative Board of Trade men are in Washington to fight the provisions of the new Capper-Tincher grain law in the hearings being held by the house committee. E. L. Gates, of the

Chicago board declared that "the new bill carried a degree of control that is unwarranted; that it an attempt through the commerce clause of the constitution to put future trading un

der the control of the secretary of

agriculture, and that the measure would enable the secretary to build up a powerful political machine." Senator Capper has his war paint on.

He says that the new bill will use the same weapon that was used to put the Louisiana lottery out of business, Inasmuch as it denies future traders the use of the mails. Capper calls them "gamblers." In this connection it will be pertinent to mention a resolution adopted

by the Millers National federation at its meeting held the first week In

June, as follows: "We oppose unrestricted speculation in grain as harmful to the farmer, miller, the distributor and the consumer." To this we may personally add the "baker" whose contracts for flower are frequently made months in advance of its use. This refers to bakers who buy in earlots. Sometimes the flour is considerablv lower in price on date of delivery

than on the day the purchase wa3 made, and vice versa, flour being as

speculative as wheat, or nearly so. For Live Stock Comfort The humane farmer always seeks

to minimize tho worry that insect pests cause the animals on his plac. Now that the season when flies will pester cattle, horses, and even the family dog, is at hand, mention of remedies which afford relief is timely. A man claiming to be an authority contributes the following prescription, and says it will provide absolute protection: Alcohol, two ounces; pennyroyal, one ounce: fish oil, one-haif pint. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store. Mix in bottle and shake well before using. Apply lightly to the animal's coat each morning not using enough to stiffen the hair, and the dose will render the horse or cow immune until the next morning, so it is claimed. Looks as if worth trying. A son of Orla Hinshaw, of Fountain Citv. and who was a member of the

pig club last year, has two strange "pets," a pair of skunk kittens. The baby skunks were found deserted and in a famished condition so the boy

carefully fed them with milk, using a medicine dropper. They are now learning to drink from a saucer. What will he do with them later? Those Live Stock Refunds Robert C.

CHILE TO ATTEMPT TO RESUME PARLEY WITHOUT U. S, AID

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 10. A new diplomatic' move appeared to be in preparation by Chile today with a view to resumption of the interrupted negotiations of the Chilean Peruvian conference without mediation by the

United States. Although the Chilean delegates would not reveal their intentions, their failures thus far to follow the lead of the Peruvians and call the attention of the state deportment to the conference tangle led to the general impression here they preferred the next step should be something other than an exercise of American good offices. This development was received with unconcealed surprise by the Peruvians who declared their Chilean colleagues had agreed that each side should lay its views of the situation before Secretary Hughes. It was said, however, that the Peruvians were ready to hear any other proposal Chile had to make for reopening the conference discussions. Should the conference sess'ons be

resumed without the aid of the Unit

ed States it is apparent that the initiative must come from Chile. The

Peruvians insist that they will stand

on their proposal of May 27 for arbitra

patriotic exercises to take place. He

then gave a $20 bill toward financing the project.

At this time the committee in charge

Is confident of the citizens' support in

the big civic affair and feel encouraged

with the interest thus far shown.

All members of the general commit

tee and all solicitors are to be present Monday morning at 9 o'clock" in the offices of the Richmond Community Service to prepare for two hours of hard work under the direction of Mr. Whelan. The city will be divided into districts so that there will be no repacking on the part of any of the solicitors. It is hoped by the committee, that all those who are approached, will sub

scribe readily, so that no time will be wasted. The limit asked for from any individual is $5. It is the intention of the committee to prevent thrusting hardship upon any individuals in the effort to raise the desired amount toward financing the civic affair.
