The Frm and By William R.

Walter Petrey, of West Manchester, tells us that harvesting is now atmost in full swing in his vicinity, but he does not consider the outlook for heavy threshing returns as good. Mr. Petrey says he thinks that red ,fi or. trior fnr some reason a lot of the wheat didn't fill properly. This explains why he is looking for a comparatively light crop. Asked as to threshing charges Mr. Petrey said that his association had not yet held a meeting for the consideration of the schedule for this season. He stated that the charges in Preble county were lower than in Wayne last year, wheat, for instance, being threshed at 7 cents, while Wayne charged 8 cents. He also stated that while Wayne threshermen charged 5 cents per bushel on oats, the top price in Preble county was 4 cents and many crops were threshed at 4 cents in 1921. He says that no rye is grown in the vicinity of West Manchester. ade for thresh-' m in VeDle c uny w 111 De J I ?; meeting to be nem in tne court house at taton on baturaay nignt, at 7:30, said Wm. Everding, president. of the Threshermen's association. "The scale is the subject of some debate each season," said he, "and is always settled in a general meeting, where threshers from all parts of the county can discuss crops, prospects and prices." Mr. Everding is not san guine of a big wheat crop this year and thinks the prospects only fair.! Red rust and smut have cut the yield some, he stated, and there will be fewer bushels to thresh than was hoped for and expected earlier in the season. The hot days have forced the ripening and farmers are busy with their binders several days earlier thau usual In the Miami valley this year. Bidding 98c for Wheat In a little chat with Ed Price, of the Farmers' National Grain association, on Friday evening, he stated that harvesting was pretty general south of Richmond, Boston township showing many binders in the fields on Friday afternoon. Mr. Price states that on his trip to Cincinnati on Thursday he noted that harvesting was goins on most all the way down, except that south of Hamilton the bulk of the wheat visible from the road was already in shock. Asked as to his con - tracts for new wheat Mr. Price said that while he had some bidding no crops had vet been purchased, farmers being of the opinion that wheat ' should bring more money. "On the oasis or today s marKet, ' saia ne, i don't feel warranted in offering more than S8 cents for No. 2. This is a pretty low figure, too low. In fact, as I think farmers should get at least $1.25 when ready to make deliveries of good milling wheat. But a shipping basis is one thing and a man's opinion is another, and they don't often agree." Binders Busy at F. C

Kansas is the banner winter wheat state and the center of manufacture of a world of winter wheat flour for export. The Topeka special to western papers says: "Premature ripening of wheat with probable damage resulting, has been the outstanding feature of weather an crP conditions in Kansas in tho tast week, accoramg to the weekly report of S. D. Flora, State meteorologist, issued today, However, Kansa? has been fortunate from a temperature standpoint, Flora declares, no point in the state having reported the mercury as high as 100 degrees. "The continued hot weather has caused much of the wheat to shrivel, particularly in the northern and central sections, although the extent of the damage is not yet ascertainable. Corn so far has withstood the heat, ai though it is in need of rain. Oat pros pects have been lowered considerably from the heat, the crop being short and weedy."
