(MiJkets by E. F. Leiand & Company, 212 Unlom National Bank Building) CHICAGO, June 26. Wheat Bearish influence predominated in -wheat today and prices declined around two cents. Some stop loss orders were caught on the way down and many local traders who were good buyers last week turned sellers today. Good rains over nearly the entire belt and the breaking up of the hot spell were the main bearish factor. There was nothing done in export demand. The situation in Germany today restricted export demand. Reports on spring wheat were generally favorable but on winter they were a little mixed with numerous messages indicating disappointment. The decrease in the visible had no effect. It is apparent that drouth has been discounted as a market factor. Corn felt the effect of the break In wheat and rains over the belt and declined early. The east reported about 200.000 bushels corn worked for export. Cash markets to 1 lower. Oats There was heavy liquidation of July and September by houses recently active buyers. Locals sold because of break in other grains. Buying was confined largely to covering by shorts on the down turn although

there was also buying of September by commission houses. Cash prices about one cent lower. ' The decrease in visible had no effect. Crop advices showed little change due to the cold weather under rains are unfavorable for oats. NEW YORK. June 26. A spectacular rise of 23 points over Saturday's close in Mexican Petroleum easily featured the stock market today. It took Pan-American with it to the extent of 6 points, all of which was not held, however. Another specialty, Gulf States Steel, advanced 6 points. The general list hesitated during the morning, but late in the day took up the advance with the rails leading, although nearly all the stocks advanced a little. Steel common advanced , sugars and coppers up fractions. Domestic oils did not do very much; some were fractions lower, and some were fractions higher. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

HIGH TEMPERATURES INJURE ALL GRAINS; ADVANCE IN PRICES

By William R. Sanborn What of the winter wheat crop now being harvested? What has been the effect of lack of rain over a considerable territory at filling time, and heat which has caused premature ripening in parts of all the winter wheat states? How have these factors affected quantity and quality? These are the paramount questions which confront every wheat grower and the entire grain trade. For the present there can be no immediate solution. Nor will the government estimate as of July 1, and which will not be given to the press until the afternoon of July 10, have any real effect on the situation. The threshing machines and the testing scales will finally tell the story which means so much to America and to the whitebread consuming world. As a matter fo fact wheat has suffered from too high temperatures, notably in Missouri and Kansas, during past 10 days. The crop is now made and that a part of it has been reduced by the shriveling of the berry and a reduction of the quality by tempera tures of 100 or more during the past week, is considered a certainty. The actual damage can only be guessed at by men on the ground. That the late germinated wheat, of which. there was considerable because of fall and winter drouth, in places, has been injured can hardly be denied. How great the acea so injured, and to how great an extent, cannot be stated. But little or much it will ' all count in the final reckoning. About Spring Wheat At this writing spring wheat looks most promising, but spring wheat is a long way from harvest. Spring wheat may have its troubles ahead and these might change the outlook materially. In the meanwhile we must not over look the European situation. France faces a deficit of around 80,000,000 bushels of wheat, which means that she will be a heavy importer, unless the French turn to rye and barley bread, a last resort for French people, who are not rye eaters like the Germans, Polish and some other European populations. Taken at its best, these is no great probability of an excess of wheat in the world for this crop year. There may, indeed, be a shortage, much depending on the American and Canadian crops of spring grain. To the present writer this doesn't seem to be a good time to be, a bear on wheat. Cash Interests Bearish 1 But just the same the cash interests are bearish on wheat, both at Chicago and Kansas City. The elevatormen are expecting heavy receipts and mid-west railroads have set tbousands of cars along the side of the grain fields, at points readily available. The railroads are ready for action and the cash grain men are looking for a liberal movement from the machines. And while on this subject we must not overlook rye. The estimate is for 81,000,000 of rye, or 13,000,000 in excess of last year's crop. On top of this is a large carryover. Poland has a large crop of rye and this may tend to reduce our rye exports to central European countries, notably Germany. Today rye is selling 26 cents under wheat, a feature that should help exports where rye is needed. The rye grower has less to encourage him to look for higher prices than have wheat growers.

The Farm and - By William R.

When J. C. Mohler, secretary of ag riculture for Kansas, gives fanners a little advice in his letters or bulletins, his talks are usually strictly to the point and worth while. A few days ago Secretary Mohler gave Kansas wheat farmers a bit of advice with relation to the care of wheat after harvesting, spoke of the danger in unduly delaying threshing, etc. Inasmuch as what is profitable for the winter wheat farmer in Kansas applies to our own wheat growers and i crops, we are printing a few extracts from the Mohler letter. Mr. Mohler goes after the facts in sledge-hammer fashion. Right now in the midst of our wheat harvest, with threshing days almost due, his remarks will be found very timely. He opens up by stating that: "Not all losses in wheat growing are sustained before the crop is matured. Kansas loses much annually after the crop has been matured, in cutting too early, in standing too long in the shock, in poor stacking, in waste in threshing and damage in storage. Losses From Heat Heavy "Losses because of heat damage to wheat of last year's crop were exceptionally heavy, and more complaints were lodged on this score than in any previous season to my recollection. An effort was made to determine the cause with the hope of being able to apply a remedy. The state board of agriculture obtained information as to shippers of heat damaged wheat, and traced this wheat to the growers, of whom inquiries were made. The replies clearly show that methods in harvesting should vary with condition; that all wheat cannot be handled alike with the same results. For example, a Russell County wheat grower, who lost heavily from heat damage to "his wheat, placed the blame on early cutting, poor judgment in stacking, after threshing, and improper handling afterwards. He says, in the first place: "We have very seldom had such short wheat with so little foliage. It stands to reason that a stack with practically all wheat In it would ra-j quire a longer time to go through the sweat than a stack with mostly straw in it. For such wheat our stacks should have been built very narrow, which would have aided them in drying out. This, I think, has been one of the greatest troubles with our damaged wheat in the season just past. The trouble with my individual wheat, however, has been more than that. I threshed a little early and, still worse, right after a rain. And, worse yet, I piled a large quantity in one bin. It has given me a lesson I hope to profit by hereafter." Don't Delay Threshing A cardinal point in this talk to wheat growers was this: "To guard against heat damage wheat should not be cut too early, and should go into the stack dry. Wheat ' should not be threshed when damp. Care should be used in storage." Much poor grade wheat in Kansas in 1921 was because of threshing when damp, and from binding in large lots when the air was moist. There is much damage year after year because of wheat standing too iong in the shock. Wheat should not be stacked until fully dry, nor should the threshing be long delayed. With regard to threshing operations Secretary Mohler says that old threshermen tell him that millions of bushels of wheat would be saved to farmers if every machine in Kansas "was in the hands of a qualified operator." He advocates inspection and overhauling , of every machine before threshing operations begin. The June 1 estimate of 117.000,000 bushels of wheat for Kansas, was 0.Dric,raiiv nncPdDd qb n.it richt for quality, mostly 15c and 20c lb.; green onions, 3 bunches for 10c; new beets, 5c bunch; new potatoes, 5c lb.; new , peas, 120 lb.; carrots. 5c a bunch; i radishes, 3 bunches for 10c; dry onions 110c lb. Picnic of Breeders Leads Way to Closer Relations Wayne and Preble county Duroc Jersey breeders, with their families, met for an all day picinc in Glen Miller park Sunday. A basket luncheon was enjoyed, and the afternoon spent in informal visiting. The Indiana and Ohio associations laid tentative plans for closer relations in the future. POLICE (Continued from Page One.) runs between Eleventh and Twelfth streets from H to I and that Todd came out a moment later, walking rapidly. Todd crossed H street, going south, and paused in the alley near the residence of the Rev. Joseph Robinson. Rev. Robinson had left his home and entered the alley to see what had happened to Crickmore, who was lying in the alley groaning. Runs Down Alley "You've killed him," Rev. Robinson said to Todd. At that Todd ran south in the alley, and was seen no more. Acquaintances said he went at once to his rooms on North Seventh street and left town shortly with a friend who drove a machine. The fight occurred about 11 o'clock Saturday evening. Crickmore died

spell, premature ripening, etc., is likely to make a material reduction in quantity, as well as affecting the quality, has been taken for granted in parts of the state as the harvest has been hurried along. To Aid Orderly Marketing A bill was introduced In congress last week to aid in "orderly marketing," and which has the backing of the finance corporation and the federal reserve board. The bill provides that notes drawn for an agricultural purpose, or based on live stock, may be rediscounted by the federal reserve banks with a maturity of not exceeding six months. This is in accordance with the present law. The bill provides further, however, that where agricultural paper Is secured by warehouse receipts covering readily marketable and nonperishable agricultural products, It may bo eligible for rediscount for a maturity not exceeding nine months. Loans on feeder stock as distinguished from loans on breeding herds are also eligible for rediscount with a maturity not exceeding nine months. A Cigar Leaf Pool It now looks as if the Miami valley cigar leaf growers are to get together on a sales organization in time to handle the next crop. The feeling that the tobacco men should pool and stick together is growing and a committee headed by Frank Blackford, of Eldo rado, will soon visit the headquarters of Kentucky burley pool, to get a line on the actual workings of the pool and the results to date. The burley pool has made sales of millions of pounds and not long since divided $10,000,000 among growersv From all reports reaching this office the pool in burley tobacco practically covers all growers and is doing satisfactory service in warehousing and selling. All the tobacco states are almost certain to organize pools according to the character of their crops, within a year or two, judging from all indications. A Notable Hog Bulletin While we have not yet received a copy of North Dakota bulletin No. 156, devoted to the personality and psychology of the great American hog. We hope to be able to give our readers some 'dope" from this bulle tin a little later. In the meanwhile we are quoting the editorial comment of Wallace's Farmer, anent this sub ject "From the viewpoint of practical hog breeders and feeders. Bulletin 156 entitled The Northern Pig From Birth to Market, written by Prof. T. H. Shepperd, and recently published by the North Dakota Experiment Station, is the most readable, interesting and instructive combination of facts, humor, and wise interpretation of the behavior of pigs that we have read. It is based on experiments, and the art of herdsman D. J. Geiken, referred to by Prof. Shepperd as "Daddy Geiken." The text is excellently illustrated. "Daddy Geiken," who knows hogs in timately as individualities, with uniaue temperaments and traits of character, interprets these subtle factors in the simple language of art to Prof. Shepperd, who records his conversations in the form of a narrative. Hogs know things of importance to them which "Daddy Geiken" has learned. He believes that success In practicing the art of feeding and management depends to a considerable extent on the feeder's comprehension of the "personality" and eccentricities of hogs. Prof. Shepperd's conclusions embody more sound sense, stated in plainer language, than we have read in a technical bulletin for many years. We congratulate him and "Daddy Geiken" on their joint excursion into hog psychology, which may well be the road to more profita ble returns from dealing with hog physiology in the feedlot." within a few minutes, and the police and coroner were called. Following examination by Coroner Bond, the body was removed to the Doan under taking parlors. A t wo-by-four club. which evidently had been wrenched off a fence nearby, was lying near the body. Killed by Blow. Further examination by Coroner Bond showed that Crickmore had died from a fractured skull, induced by a blow from the two by four lying near the body. A spike nail left in the timber had penetrated the skull, mak ing a deep cut on the temple. He died within a few minutes, according to witnesses who entered the alley after the occurence. When Criskmore's body was found, he had an opened pocket knife- in his hand. This fact, taken with the testimony of witnesses, is believed to give Todd an excellent chance for a selfdefense plea, should he decide to give himself up. Crickmore had five daughters. Mrs. Edith O'Conner, who is a widow, Min-j nie Lincoln, Mary Stikeleather, Ethel! West and Pearl Crickmore. The dance was given at the home of Mrs. O'Connor, and music was furnished by two colored musicians, Honey Wilson and Lew Andrews. The remainder of the assemblage was white. According to a neighbor, drinking had been going on freely all evening. ENGAGE PROMINENT SPEAKERS) SHELBYVILLE, Ind., June 26 Governor G. W.

Wheat cutting was practically finished in Fayette county Saturday, and oats cutting is beginning this week. Threshing is expected to start at the end of the week. A severe twine shortage is experienced this season in Fayette county, dealers having laid in only a small supply on account of the co-operative purchases made by the farm bureau, which they understood would be sufficient Rush faheat Threshing To Start Next Week RUSHVILLE, Ind., June 26. Wheat threshing in Rush county is expected to start next week, a week earlier than usual. -New wheat does not usually go into the elevators before July 4 in this county. Continued dry weather is respon-' sible for the early wheat harvest. The same drought has seriously damaged the early potato crop, and although corn has not yet been hurt, it will need rain very soon, as it is beginning to show the effects of the lack of moisture.
