GRAIN PRICES

(Markets by E. F. Lciani & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, June 14. Wheat It was a fair day for crop scare news, and wheat showed a good advance. An oversold condition of the market was reviewed when shorts tried to cover. Some bad crop reports coming from parts of Kansas. There was buying by commission houses. New York interests were reported buying July. Winnipeg reports good demand for Manitoba spring wheat. Exporters took 60,000 busheis hard winter wheat here. Cash markets dull and a little higher. Corn Corn was firmer and averaged higher with wheat. There was important short covering which had absorbed the surplus in the pit, and trade was temporarily inclined to take to long side. There was some reports of chinch bugs in southern Illinois. Cash market unchanged to three-quarters higher.

Oats Trade rather moderate, with

commission, houses buying and shorts covering by strength in wheat Sell

ing pressure was light Cash prices

about one-half higher. There was

nothing really new in the weather or crop news, but the reports on oats were generally bullish. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO. June 14. Following is the range of futures on Chicago Boara

The time of the year Is approaching when fresh vegetables are easily obtained, whether you raise them yourself or buy them In the market. Few persons understand the use of these foods, which are more essential to health than any others. The average housewife ( does not even know the names of half the vegetables Bhe might obtain. Get acquainted with all the vegetables, their food value, and how to cook them. All of this information is contained in a booklet which the Department of Agriculture has issued.

A reduction from 9 to less than one per ctnt in one fourth of the cases, and absolute elimination of emut in all other plots, is reported as the result of the hot water treatment given 600 bushels last fall. An inspection of treated plats has just been completed by County Agent, J. L. Dolan, work

ing with the owners of the treated 1 plots. Resulte of the treatment may be observed In county wheat fields now, says the agent, and demonstrate the value of hot water treating for elimination of the fungus. In a letter being sent from the county agent's office, the following statements are made: Un-treated wheat fields over the county shows an average of about 9 per cent emut. This figure Is not estimated, but is the average figure obtained from actual countings, taken in some 50 fields in various parts of the county. In a few localities the smut is not very much in evidence; on the other hand some localities visited had as high as 15 per cent smut. Farmers of the county are invited to inspect one or more of these treated fields and see for themselves the results of the. treatment. When one goes into the field, he will have little difficulty in finding the line between

the treated and untreated fields, even to the single drill rows. Post cards will be sent out this week from the county agent's office to farmers In every township in the county telling them where these treated wheat fields can be found. Fourteen of this fif

teen townships in the county have treated plots. The county agent Is recommending

that the control of smut be taken up

by the farmtrs at threshing-ring meetings, which are being held at this time. To effect a permanent control it is necessary that all the farmers

There are always farmers who are speculatively inclined at this time of the year. They gaze across their wheat fields, try to estimate the yield and to anticipate the probable nrice after threshing. Then they hold

wonder that prices were easier. Calve3 sold off 50c to $1; hogs dropped 10c to 25c, and spring lambs were lowered 25c to 50c, depending on quality. Choice cattle showed the ieast change, but poorer grades sold off 10c to 30c.

In Richmond Wednesday Hiking from Coast to Coast "Uncle Joe" Walling, 79 years old, veteran walker, arrived in Richmond at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, on his latest coast-to-coast trip. "Uncle Joe," whose home is in Baltimore, is

making his trip across the continent on foot, also having made the journey

twice on horseback. He left Baltimore May 13, and expected to reach San Francisco Nov. 20. "Uncle Joe,"

attired in an army uniform, appears 1o be in perfect health, and is unusually active for one of his years, as

bis walking feats indicate. He is tak

ing the National road route on

trip.

The veteran walker carries auto-

dickering. Sometimes they contrac. to deliver at a certain price, and again tbey don't. By the same token there are elevatormen who are inclined to take a chance, particularly if the going market is Tunning in an ordinary groove. Just now, and following the shakedown of cash prices and the July and September deliver

ies, the average elevator man is inclined to be wary and but few of them in this neck of the wood3 Are anxious to contract for the new crop. But some farmers have already sold their growing wheat, and here and there we find elevators willing to bid a price for No. 2 for after harvest delivery. There is already a difference of 15c per bushel on bids for new No. 2, from high to low of these bids, bv the same elevator company.

Here and there we also find that grain

buyers are putting a strike clause in

their grain contracts, fearing that a

railway tieup might leave tnem iuu bins at the wrong time. This cjause gives them leeway and protection. NewhoDe Has Been Buying

Richard and Armacost, owners of

the elevator at Newhope, Ohio, said on Tuesday that they already had

purchased a few crops of wheat for delivery from the machines. . Their price on Tuesday for new wheat wa3 95 cents, but Mr. Armacost admitted that they had paid $1 for a crop or two and a bit earlier had bought one or more crops as high as $1.10. This is the highest price we have so far learned of being paid for new wheat. The cash price on old wheat at Newhope was $1.05 on Tuesday. Mr. Armacost says that while little has been

said about chinch bugs as yet tnere is some complaint of red rust. It is

The statement was to the effect that all terminal points will be flooded within a few days, unless prices shall decline materially and growers refuse, to sell in consequence. Ample cars' have been provided. Employment centers are gradually filling their quotas of the labor demand in the farm districts. Favorable action has been taken on the new Capper-Tincber"? bill by the house committee on agriculture. This bill is as full of teeth as a curry comb and it is likely to be considered by the house on Thursday. "It is certain to be passed," is the correspondent's prophecy.

the goose of the .Ohio chinch will be equally as servicable in Indiana. Now, then, T. H. Parks, of the Ohio extension service, has Just sent out an "emergency letter" to all the county agents in the state, in which he says: "Dust barriers work all right when the soil is dusty, but a tar barrier will keep chinches out of the corn In any weather. He says that they should be laid down before July 4, the time that the chinches are expected to leave the wheat and to march on the corn, and that they should be kept in condition for about three weeks thereofter. "Essentially, the barrier Is a flat, compact line of soil outside the outside row of corn, with a narrow groove filled with tar or tarvia down the center. One way to proceed is to clear a space at least 6 inches wide of all vegetation just outside the first row of corn. This strip should be

Clintic of West Virginia, have, in my opinion, shown themselves to be petty

tyrants and arrogant despots. "In assuming to pass upon constitutiinallty of many laws enacted by congress, the federal courts, Mr. La Fol-

lette declared, not only are exercising a power nowhere conferred In the constitution but which the constitutional

convention, he said, four times went on record as opposed to granting, when it was proposed that judges should have a veto upon federal legislation. "Heretofore the people of the United States," Senator La Follette said, "have met the difficult situations cre

ated by the court's decisions on con

stitutional matters by dealing with the particular question upon which the court was at variance with the popular will. We have never faced the fundamental issue of judicial usurpation squarely. The time has now

come to do so. It would require a dozen constitutional amendments to correct the evils of the decisions which the court has handed down within the past three or four years. "The time has come when we must put the axe to the root of this monstrous growth upon the body of our government. The .usurped power of

plaining and is in the mood to await the arrival of the grain at the elevator. And one of his reasons for this attitude is this: The railway situation in July is an uncertainty. A strike is possible, he says, and in such a case the country elevators having bought to come in are likely to be filled to the roof and be unable to ship. If so, and the elevator has sold for a specified delivery, it will have a penalty to pay for nonfulfillment of contract, if the concerns it has sold to are inclined to push matters. In any case if you can't deliver, "off goes your deal, and if the market breaks on you; then you are left to hold the sack." This is about the way Mr. McClure put it and he says that in present circumstances the elevatorman should include a strike clause for his protection. George Richards and Son, of New Paris, said they had bought but one crop eo far, and will pay $1 if same grades No. 2. Mr. Richards said he wasn't anxious to buy for future delivery just yet. The elevator at Glen Kara has not yet bought any new wheat. The manager said had been able to buy considerable corn this season, on a

shipping basis, and that they were bidding 75 cents per cwt on Tuesday, vhich was a trifle high for shipping stock. Crops and Markets The Chicago Board of Trade opened

"The tar-line is laid to skirt the edge hole, so that the bugs, finding they cannot cross the sticky barrier, travel down the line and end up in the holes, wherein kerosene and water is poured to kill them. Dust barriers, creosote barriers, dust and tar barriers, and the practice of spraying the outer rows of corn with Black Leaf 40 are thoroughly discussed in the letter sent to the Ohio agents. Wayne county having had Its own troubles with chinch bugs last year, is fairly familiar with everything Prof. Parks has told us. At the same time hundreds of Wayne farmers escaped injury by chinches last year and had no occasion to mess around with dust or tar barriers. Many of these are likely to be interested in Prof. Park's letter. They may have to throw up a few barriers themselves, this season, but we hope not.

Mr. Gompers told the delegates that as far back as 1861 in the first constitution adopted by the federation a declaration was incorporated for the enactment of state laws prohibiting labor by children under 14 years old. He referred to the first federal law, that of 1916 being declared invalid by the Supreme Court by a 5 to 4 opinion and added that the second law, passed in 1919, was set aside with one dissenting vote of the court. Labor's program now, he said, was to obtain adoption of a constitutional amendment making possible a federal child labor law.

Tuesday, according to a physician s

report. His condition, however, is reported very serious. Bietry was discovered by two employes of the store who went to the loft to fill an order. They found him swinging from a beam. A chair crate had been used for a standing platform. It is said that Bietry was in his usual spirit at the noon hour, and had been seen waiting upon a customer about 1:30 o'clock. He was found shortly later, but was not removed to the hospital until about 4 o'clock, according to an official of the hospital. Bietry is a veteran of the World war and is said to have been shell shocked in come of the heavy engagements. He has been employed at the furniture store for about four years. He resided at 48 South Tenth street. Rel

low on oats brought July oats to a low of 35 on Monday, but the decline didn't stop there, for it was continued on Tuesday when July oats closed at 34. In the meantime wheat steaded and advanced a triflo on Tuesday, closing at $1.10 for July, up cents from Monday's close, with September at $1.12. So much old wheat is showing up at marketing points that speculators are beginning to think that reserves in farmers' hands -six weeks ago were considerably larger than estimated. The lower wheat has broken the heavier have been the receipts. These

heavy wheat receipts indicate that farmers who are letting go at the bot

tom feel assured that they will har vest a liberal crop in replacement. It was reported from central Illi

nois on Tuesday that both corn and

oats were in need of good general

rains. Corn was said to be dry almost down to the root3 and oat fields cracking, in the Paxton district. It is now stated that Minnesota and the Dakotas have been favored with rains at the opportune time and farmers are feeling better. Harvesting of both wheat and oats
