GRAIN PRICES (Markets by E. P. Leiacit& Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, June 23. Wheat The advance in Liverpool and high temperatures through the grain belt brought a higher opening today, but In the late trading profit taking on a big scale, and prospects otf rain over the week-end. together with denials of serious losses in Nebraska, caused a sharp reaction, prices going to the lowest of the day. The profit taking was not altogether unexpected, In view of the advance whioh has continued almost all week. Export sales of 500,000 In all positions were reported at the seaboard. Cash market here one higher and In Kansas City three higher. Severe storms reported in the Canadian northwest. The weather will be the leading factor In wheat. Com Dry weather reports were the early factors in corn and the forecast predicting still warmer weather caused a good advanse in corn, but It declined later with wheat, but not to the same extent, and the close was fairly strong, although the best prices were not maintained. fc Cash markets steady to one higher. Oats There was a general buying early and prices advanced. Later the longs sold freely and there was some commission house selling, which caused a sharp reaction from the high point, although the close showed considerable recovery from the low point. Cash markets one higher. RANGE OF FUTURES ("Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO. June 23.

DAUGHTERS OF KING PROPOSE TO SPREAD CHRIST'S KINGDOM WAWASEE, Ind., June 23 The purpose of The Daughters of the King, an crder for laywemen of the Protestant Episcopal church, was defined hare today by Mrs. W. W. Wilson of Chicago, as "the spread of Christ's kingdom among women and the strengthening .. of parish life." Mrs. Wilson told of the organization at the laymen's conference of the Episcopal cnurch here. "This order is a call to women to labor in Christ's vineyard on the same lines and rules as those of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew," the speaker said. "The two rules." she added, "are: First, to pray daily for God's blessing upon all members of the order and for the spiritual growth of the parish to which each belongs. Second, to take regularly some part in the worship, study and work of the church, to make a constant effort to bring other women within its influences and to render sucli aid to the rector as he may deem necessary for the spiritual upbuilding of the parish. "A member of the order takes her consecration vows, kneeling at the altar, is invested with the silver cross, 'His Kingly Emblem,' by her rector, and goes forth with the memory of the sacred service as a treasured heritage in her life. "The work of the order is not alone in the parish. It has done definite missionary work. It maintains a missionary in China and two native Bible women assist her. In short, wherever the 'rue spirit of service to others can be given, there is the Daughter of the King doing her work. Her whole aim is 'to know the Living Christ and make Him known.'

'9 official paper was without significance as the paper has been on sale in public book stalls for some time. All reports from Ireland indicate that the murder has produced an uneasy feeling among law-abiding people apart from the natural indignation at the cold bloodedness of the crime. The Belfast correspondent of the Times telegraphs his paper that if the assumption there that the Sinn Fein was responsible shall prove correct, the situation will at once become one of extrem gravity. Popular opinion is already inflamed, he says, the feeling along the border being if anything more excited than in Belfast. Sorrow In Dublin. The Times Dublin correspondent says the news of the murder was receivedf there with feelings of sorrow and almost with despair as coming at a time where there were growing prospects of improved relations between the north and south. He add3: "The murder will be regarded' as an act of war upon Ulster and will stir passions which may lead to terrible events on both sides.

'I will come to see you,' he said, 'but in exchange you must premise to come and se9 me at Camberlay, Surrey (the British staff college ).' I kept my word and since then not a year passed without our meeting and our friendship continued. He came especially to attend the weddings of my two daughters. "Everybody knows the services rendered by Marshal Wilson both in the preparation and conduct of the war. He was the soul of co-operation between the two armies and during the battle of Ypres, at 10 o'clock every night he came over from St. Omer to see me at my quarters at Cassel. "It is not for me to express an opinion of him as a politician, but I can say that as a soldier he had a magnificent intelligence, that he was absolutely sincere and loyal, and possessed that supreme gift character. His disappearance affects England and Fiance alike. I hope it will be possible for me to attend the funeral and express the grief of the French army to our British friends." General Castelnau, who commanded the French armies in France and Belgium said: "The assassination of Marshal Wilson grieves me deeply. I deplore the less not only of a comrade but of a faithful friend of France before and during the war, alike in adversity and when fortune smiled." These expressions reflect the general feeling cf regret expressed by the French Dres3 and rrnb'ic at the tragic 'end of the man who was responsible j i 3r placing MarshaNFoch in supreme i command of the allied armies.

When fancy light hogg struck $11 at Chicago, on Wednesday, they hit the high spot since March 11. Thei $11 hog has crossed the scales a time or two since its high point in March, but no one has cared to go over even money on any bulge. j The greatest point of interest is shown in a comparison of prices one year ago. On June 21, 1922, the day's average price at Chicago was $S.50, against $10.50 per cwt. on Wednesday of this week. The receipt of 36,000 hogs on Thursday clipped 15 cents off the top, compared with the Wednes day market. Cattle advanced to a new high at Chicago, on Wednesday, prime steers reaching within a dime of the $10 mark. Large offerings of sheep and lambs has depressed that market, top native lambs being now $2 lower than on June 1. The Cook Milling company, at Middleboro, stated on Thursday afternoon that no wheat had been cut in the vicinity of the mill, but that one or two fields along the pike had been harvested, between Middlesboro and Richmond. Two or three farmers near Middleboro were getting ready to cut wheat, either on Friday or Saturday, said the miller. The Cooks have not contracted for any new crop grain, but were bidding $1.10 for old wheat! on Friday morning. There is considerable good looking wheat betwee?i Richmond and Middleboro, and on north to Hollansburg. Cutting Hay and Rye Sam Nicholson, well known thresherman at Fountain City, says that no wheat had been cut in that section up to Thursday night and he doubted that there would be any binders at work until next week. Mr. Nicholson said that a lot of hay was being cut and that some rye had been harvested this week. While he has not personally inspected any wheat fields of late he said that the farmers talked to seem to think that wheat will make an average crop, up his way. He has heard no complaint of damage from smut, rust or chinches, from any of the men he has happened to talk with, so far. U. S. Grain Growers Confer The U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., held a four-day meeting at the Chicago offices last week at which conferences were held with representatives of the Mid-West farm bureau organizations. 1 Quoting from a letter just received jwe find that: "A committee from the I Mid-West farm bureaus, recently apI pointed to confer with officers and ! directors of the Grain Growers and to j offer their friendly assistance, were giv en a iuii review iti vl tuneuc mniters of the farmers' grain firm." E. H. Cunningham, secretary of the Iowa farm bureau. W. S. Hill, presi dent of the South Dakota farm bureau and J. W. Coverdale, general secretary of the American farm bureau, were members of that committee. Mr. Cunningham, chairman of the committee, is quoted as stating that "a 1 splendid spirit of co-operation exists between the committee and the Grain I Growers' board, and the way was definately laid for a constructive working program between the farm bureau and the Grain Growers. We are told that these conferences will continue as needed, and that "the ! Mid-West farm bureau committee will assist in every way possible toward enabling the Grain Growers to commence handling grain at an early date." Sour Milk For Chicks 1 Although either sweet or sour milk may be fed to chickens, poultrymen recommend pour milk because it stays "as is" better than sweet. The 'point is, they say. that changing from sweet to sour and back again is bad for chickens, and it is much easier to have a constant supply , of sour milk than it is always to be sure that the milk is sweet. In other words, one can always depend on his milk's being sour if it is left to stand long enough, but he can never be sure that it will stay sweet until it is eaten, no matter what condition it may be in when it is placed in the henhouse. Regardless of whether sweet or sour milk is fed, successful -poultrymen see to it that the containers for the milk they feed are kept clean. Onion Growers Lose Money Coachella, Calif., is a great onion growing district and some of the earliest onions to reach eastern markets are received from that point. But it seems that onion growers, like all who live from, the soil, have their troubles. This season, just as shipments began, prices spurted a tpifle, but they quickly sagged and finally slipped below cost of production, and kept down until the season closed. A number of growers are now complaining: that they have received no monev on the crop, so far, even where sold to buyers under contract and not handled on commission. In spite of this growers have had to pay cash for labor, for rents and other costs. Growers with part of their crcp3 on hand are trying to supply consumers with 50 and 100 pound sacks, at 2 cents a pound, plus expressage to coast cities. Date of Hatch Important Poultry experts at the Iowa college at Ames recently completed a series of tests on egg production. They advise watching the chicks from the time they emerge from the shell until the birds are selected for winter layers, to get a line on the best for the laying pens and as mothers for the next flock. These experts tell us that the dale of the hatch means much, and then they summarize as follows: "It is important to know the exact date when chicks come from the In

Plymouth Rocks, Wyandotes, Orpingtons, and similar breeds are best when hatched between March 15 and April 15, while Leghcrns and Ancona may well be batched between April 15 and May 15." Barberry Elimination The man best informed as to the presence of the common barberry bush on his premises Is the owner of the ground, whether in town or country. This rather ornamental bush is said to be the cause of black stem rust in wheat, and in western campaigns thousands of these bushes have been destroyed, many of them on village lawns. As a rule farmers are well advised of what a menace to th? wheat crop these bushes are and now there is to be concerted effort-. in Wayne and Randolph counties to wipe the barberry off the local map. That movement will doubtless spread over the state. Purdue has taken ua barberry elimination work in Indiana and R. H. Rodgers of the state college will be in charge of the work ii this section, in Julv. In the while it is up to the farmer and let owner to tne use the axe and grub hoe wherever needed. Farm Bloc and Tariff Western agricultural interests continue to dominate the tariff makers The farmers are fighting for free potash, so much so that one member of the finance committee proposes to substitute bounty for American potash producers, in lieu of tariff protection But whether or net the potash producers get a bounty it is said that the farmers have won their fight fcr free potash. The new potash provision has not yet come up and is not expected to be taken up by the senate until the free list is reached. The production of potash has been so small, and the cost of manufacture so extravagant, that the farmers are on good fighting ground, as they nee-1 potash In thousands of tons. Ame-:-can potash producers furnished farmers with 50.000 tons in 191S, but th" production fell under 8.000 tons in 1921. Practically no potash is bein produced in America this vear. France and Germany supplying us at much lower prices than we can compete with. Cow Testing Association The 115 cow-testing associations in Wisconsin, kept in operation with the, assistance of county agents and specialists employed coooeratively by thUnited States Denartropnt nf 4r,v.i. , ture and the State Agricultural' Co!--fce, equai almost one-fcurth of the associations cf the countrv Twelve cf these associations havbeen organized since December 1, 1921, and the membership in the Sat now numbers about 3,300 farmers owning 55,000 cows. FRUITS ANO BERRIES ON LOCAL MARKETS Just at this season the craving for fruits and berries leads not cn'y the consumer but (he growers to scan the market reports wih some anxietv New varieties are reaching the market while the earlier fruits, and especially the berries are becoming scarceor are no longer obtainable The supply governs the dailv prices and the weather is often responsible for quantities offered, as well as th quality.
