Markets

GRAIN PRICES ! (Markets by E. F. Lelacd & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, June 12. Wheat It was a day of liquidation In wheat The market broke especially under general selling and partly because of poor buying. The buying power was lacking all day. Cash prices declined 3 to 4 cents with the futures, but offerings were light and trade was bearish. New low prices on the crop were reached by all months. Shipping sales 350,000. Seaboard had reported a million wheat sold over the week-end for southern Europe, but confirmation was lacking. Crop news generally was faTorable with harvest progressing In the southwest. The decrease in the visible supply of wheat had no effect. Corn Corn was Inclined to be firm, but eased off with the pressure on wheat and showed no power of resistance. Cash corn was one cent lower. The best buying in the sample market 'was by elevator Interests. Crop reports generally good. The visible showed a big increase. Oats Oats followed other grains and closed about the low of the day. July sold at a new low on the crop, getting under 36 cents for the first time despite more favorable crop reports. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

The American Legion national headquarters co-operating with the French authorities, is requesting every member of the American Expeditionary Forces who may have carried away a fragment of historic Rhcims catherdal in France as a souvenir, to send it back to Rheims. Battered into a mass of debris by German Guns, Rheims cathedral, following the armistice, was a mecca for souvenir hunters. Thousands of members of the A. E. F visited the ruins and French authorities declare, many carried away valuable pieces of statuary and other elements of the fabric of the old cathedral. Parts of the stately edifice, put in place hundreds of years ago, and sacred to every French heart, were priceless. The reconstruction efforts are aimed toward replacing all former portions that can be recovered. The French people hold it is an insult to Christianity and to the French nation for individuals to retain bits of the cathedral as souvenirs, according to Maurice Barres, member of the chamber of deputies, and the French academy, and leader of the campaign to oollect all available pieces. "It is time that souvenir collectors understood that this or that fragment : of Rheims cathedral is a vital part of the organism of the cathedral and that organism seeks reconstruction," said M. Barres. Many fragments already have been leturned, he says, in his open letter to America, and it is to further this cause that the legion is making its appeal to former doughboys.

EXPECT WHEATFIELD DAY AT EXPERIMENT STATION TO RE MOST SUCCESSFUL OF ALL

(By Associated Press) ,- COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 12. Wheatfield Day, June 23, at the agricultural experiment station at Wooster, promises to be a bigger event this year than ever, officials of the station said today. Last year, 816 automobiles, and the automobile brought 5000 visitors from 61 counties of the state to see the 1 worn, or wmcn 40 per cent or mat number had never witnessed the dem onstration before. j "Your voice may carry 1000 miles by radio, but it will be necessary to go to Wooster if you are to see the experimental fields, and hear the speakers on Wheatfield Day." the station is advising farmers. Speakers for this year are Dr. E. D. Ball, assistant secretary of agriculture; Dean Alfred Vivian, of the state college of agriculture, and L. J. Taber, director of the Ohio department of agriculture. Growing wood for paper pulp offers a solution for the Ohio farmers' wasteland and wash problem, according to Prof. N. W. Sherer of the department of forestry, Ohio State university. The comparatively rapid turn-over of investment and the valuable land reclaimed by the forest growth are features which make this form of timber growing particularly, Sherer said. Little care is required once the planting is established successfully. "That the waste land problem Is of vital importance in Ohio is Indicated by the amount of land, each year, 13 lost to hillside erosion," Sherer declared. "The possibility of checking this loss by forest planting has been demonstrated by the experimental planting of a paper manufacturing company at Chillicothe. Here a 'draw', resulting from continued spring freshets which originally cut through the middle of the cteek bottom farm owned by the company, was shifted back into the creek bed by planting useful pulp wood trees in the low area." It is estimated that at the rate of growth of one cord per acre per year, the crop would be ready for market ing in 20 years The most suitable species of plant,! both from the growers standpoint, and that of the pulpmaker, Sherer advises, have been found to bo the tulip poplar, the cottonwood, the silver maple, and the willow. Common poplar, has been found to be susceptible to fungous rot, and several insect injuries. The willow is recommended for extreme wet conditions and the silver maple seems to be best on poor FARM BUREAU ASKS DOLAN REAPPOINTED; WORK IS ENDORSED Recommendation that J. L. Dolan be re-appointed as Wayne county agricultural agent, was the most important action taken by the directors of the Farm Bureau Saturday. Mr. Dolan's work in the county was endorsed and by unanimous vote of the 13 township representatives present. The secretary was instructed to communicate the bureau's recommendation to the county board of education, which elects the agent after his candidacy has been approved by Puridue university. Mr. Dolan's re-elec tion has been asked by the Poland China breeders also. It was decided that the Farm Bureau should hold a county picnic sometime during the summer, and J. L. Dolan, W. D. Scott, R. B. Morrow, T. N. Davis and Ed Deitemeyer were appointed as a committee to select picnic grounds, fix the date and arrange a program. Explains Projects. Everett Hunt, county president, reported that explained progress of the United States Grain Growers organ ization. the co-operative grain selling

After producing 150,000. pounds of milk, and 6000 pound3 of butter, Ohio Colantha Baker, one of the best Holstein cows in the Ohio State university herd, died recently. "Old No. 7," as she was known to students at the university, was bred by O. A. Stubbs. She had produced 11 living calveS, of which one is retained as the junior herd sire at the university. Horticultural experts at Ohio State university advise extreme care in thinning of fruit crops. They say these general rules should be followed: Leave the fruit from 6 to 8 inches apart in the tree when possible. Thin at the time when the fruit is about the size of marbles, or a little larger. A small pair of grape shears are preferable for the operation. The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn "When a man can sell 65 head of Hereford beef cattle in a pavilion, in a tent, or out in the open field; can make that sale at auction to the high bidders inside of two or three hours, and can make an average cleanup of $S90 per head, we consider that man in luck. Be that man Governor McCray, of the well known state of Indiana, or our old friend John Cloverseed, living at Cloverseed Corners, Its all the same to us. Money talks. And that was the average for Herefords at the McCray sale at Kentland, Ind., last week. The sale totalled $57,950, a tidy sum at that. But listen a moment, please. Cattle, like other wares, are either high or low, cheap or dear, by comparison. 1 and for other considerations. Taking backward glance to the McCray sale at Kentland two years ago we observe that at that time all prices were at the peak and the goose was flying, high. Wrell, gentlemen, right then and there Herefords on the governor's Orchard Lake farm looked so good to the live stock Judges assembled on that auspicious occasion that they paid an average of $2,700 for a larger offering. What does Mr. McCray say about it? Well, owing to a blowout and certain other hindrances we didn't get to enjoy a seat in the Orchard Lake pavilion, nor to share in the hospitalities of the occasion. But we aro reliably informed by a man who was on the ground that McCray expressed himself "as well satisfied with the results." Right here is the proper place to state that it means much to be "satisfied," and you know it. Buyers From Many States But being "satisfied" and being "contented" are two entirely different states of mind. Did we ever tell you of the satisfied ' Irishman who was at the same time very much discontented. Did you say, "No"? Drop in on us some time and we'll relate the story. No. no; not here and now; we are talking about Hereford cattle and must continue In the 65 to go under the hammer were twelve bulls.

WOOLO LIKE. TO TALK TO YOU OM own Tom Taggart, of French Lick and Indianapolis. Well, next came Rufus Fairfax, who is now at Roundhead, Ohio, the property of J- V. Hill, at a cost of $3,700. Rufus is two and one j half years old. But don't for a moment think that Indiana's Tom Taggart failed to grab anything at the sale. Far different. Tom bid up Queen Farmer to $2,550 but Hearst is shipping her to his California ranch at an expense of $2,600, f. o. b. Kentland. But Tom got even later. He paid $1,100 for Garnet Fairfax and calf; also bought three other cows at various prices. Pavilion Well Filled The McCray sale pavilion, which seats 1,000 or more comfortably, was filled to the edges, several states being represented. Among the principal buyers, in addition to Taggart and Hearst, were Ferguson Brothers, of Canby, Minn.; S. F. Weatherly, of Stark. Wis.; J. V. Hill, of Roundhead. O.; Farmers Loan Company of Danville, Ind. ; Kencaryl ranch, of Littleton, Colo.; J. H. VanAtta, of Lafay-' ette; Shadeland farm, of Lafayette; Martin Brothers, Highgate, Ontario; W. J. Hamilton, of Syracuse, N. Y.; and People's Land Company, of Portsmouth, O. The Farmers Loan Company of Danville, Ind., which bought several head, paid $2,000 for the bull Beaumont Fairfax. It is evident that Mr. McCray knows a celebrity when he sees or hears of one, and that he is giving to perpetuating their names, as far as practicable, as for example Warren Fairfax and Georgeade Fairfax, two "bulls in the sale. Warren Fairfax first 6aw the light a few weeks before Harding was inaugurated, and brought $750 at the sale. Georgeade Fairfax sold for an even $1,000 bill. A flock of electric fans and plenty of icewater con- ' duced to the comfort of the visitors. I State Dairymen to Meet It is expected that the largest meeting of dairymen ever held in Indiana will convene at Indianapolis, on Tuesday afternoon, June 13, at 1 o'clock, in the Palm room at the Claypool. Wm. F. Schilling, of Northfield, Minn., internationally known as a student of dairy problems, will be the speaker of the day. C. M. George, secretary of the Indiana dairy marketing association, states that Mr. Schilling Is among the foremost advocates of co-operative production and selling in the country, as applied to dairy products. As president of the Twin Cities Milk Producers' association and as vice president of the National Milk Producers federation, he is a force in the milk and dairy business of the country. Mr. Schilling is billed to speak at Muncie on Wednesday evening and later will address the farm bureau members at Ft Wayne. The Indiana State farm bureau officials are hopeful that all members living in the districts in which Mr. Schilling speaks, shall turn out to hear him. For Cheaper Farm Loans A leading Indiana banker writes a letter to a friendly publisher which contains information of interest to farmers as well as to investors in farm loan mortgages. The gentleman is looking for 5 per cent mortgage loans at no distant day. He says: "The writer has just returned from an Eastern trip where he found that the insurance companies are unable to obtain the volume of mortgage loans which they require. Their supply of funds available for investment In farm mortgages i3 greater than the amount of mortgages which they can secure. They are now charging 0 per cent. In order to encourage the submission to them of additional business, there is no doubt that they will soon reduce the interest rate which they charge from 6 per cent to 5V2 per cent. The rate which they charge governs the rate which we charge because the largest investors in the world are the life insurance companies, and they buy more farm mortgages than any other class of securities. In our opinion a 6 per cent ratewill not countinue much longer. "Last January farm mortgages bore '7 per cent. In March the rate was reduced to 6H per cent. In April the rate dropped to 6 per cent. It Is jiox. improbable that before long a 5 per cent rate may govern farm mortgages." During the past year Salvation Army officers found work for 52,219 men and 13.134 women, in addition to those to whom they gave employment in their own institutions.
