GRAIN PRICES fMcrlieis by E. F. Lieiaci & Comanv, 212 Union National Bank Build'.ng) CHICAGO, July 1. Wheat Wheat was strong all day. The deliveries on July contracts were smaller than ex pected, and this, with the great Btrength in Minneapolis, induced con siderable buying here. The cash de mand at Minneapolis was reported better, but the real strength was based on fear of rust. Commission houses continued to pick up wheat throughout the session. Heavy rain3 were re ported over the belt. There was nothing definite on export, although a New York message said the Greek order had been placed over night for 1,100,000. Corn Corn followed wheat and, session progressed. Deliveries on July contracts were large, but they had no effect, owing to the strength in wheat. Cash market steady to lVs higher. Corn sales estimated for export over night were 200,000. Weather conditions keep favorable. Oats Shorts and the elevator interests bought July for delivery to within 2 cents of September. There was considerable buying also because of the strength in other grains, while offerings were scattered and not important. Cash market relatively firm. Deliveries on July contracts 1,946,000 bushels and fell a little short of expectation. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, July 1.

RULING ON BOND SALE TO BEMADE LATER Hearing on the injunction to restrain the Abington township school board from selling $30,500 worth of bonds was held before Judge W. A. Bond Saturday. The court took the matter under advisement and will issue a ruling at a later date. Petition for the injunction was filed In court Friday and a temporary restraining order was issued at that time. Samuel Clevenger, former trustee of Abington township, represented the taxpayers in the application for an in junction. In his petition Clevenger I alleged that the valuation of property in that township under the new assessment was too low to permit of the entire issue being legally subscribed, as the state law provides that bond issues shall not exceed two per cent of the property valuation. Attorneys for the school board argued that the new assessment was not yet in force and that the bond issue was in keeping with the old assessment and was thereby legalized.

It is recalled that during the recent senatorial primary campaign in Indiana Mayor Shank of Indianapolis had an active part in defeating Senator New for renomination. So the senator is under no political obligations to Shank, and no one will be surprised if the appointment of collector of customs goes to a man who was active in the promotion of Senator New's interests during the spring primaryRich mond"Postmastershi p. It is expected that the eligible list for the Richmond, Ind., postmastership will be made public by the United States civil service commission some time about the middle of August. Representative R. N. Elliott has stated that he will act promptly in sending in his recommendation for appointment to the office as soon as he has the names of the three eligibles, so it is anticipated that the new postmaster will be ready to assume his duties as soon as the term of C. B. Beck expires, Sept. 5. The civil service commission received applications for the Richmond postmastership, June 20. An inspector of the civil service commission will visit Richmond some time this month and will meet with all the candidates and the citizens the candidates gave as their references. He will then submit a report on each of the candidates which ihe commission will consider in connection with their questionairies in determining the eligible list. Rep. Elliott Goiro Home.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The first car of 1922 Indiana winter wheat to arrive at Indianapolis came in on Wednesday afternoon. . The carload came from Edinburg, tested 58 lbs. was of fair quality, and sold for $1.04. Figured on that basis, and deducting freight and elevator profit, it is likely that the farmer got about 92 cents, although his local elevator might have paid him more money. This was the opinion of a local wheat buyer, who allowed for a small profit for the elevator at Edinburg, in addition to other handling charges. At the Indiana grain dealers' meeting at Indianapolis on Thursday and Friday the numerous threshing returns reported from the southern end of the state were mostly disappointing as to yield, although there was less complaint as to quality of the grain. We stil have 10 days to await the July 1 government report on its estimate of wheat conditions and probable crops of winter and spring grains. Two private estimators for the Chicago Board of Trade have just announced their conclusions, as follows: Goodman places the winter wheat harvest at 555,000,000 and spring wheat outlook as indicating 260,000,000 total. 815,000,000 bushels. Mr. Snow is more optimistic. He estimates winter wheat at 574,000,000 and spring wheat at 262,000,000, or a grand total of 836,000,000 bushels. Rains Delay Threshing Because College Corner, Ohio, lies so far south of Richmond and its harvesting began earlier, we had supposed that a few crops might already been threshed. But it seems not. Fred Miller, elevator owner, says that the machines have been busy below Hamilton, but none had gone into action near College Corner up to Saturday forenoon, so far as he had heard. Mr. Miller said they have had one real rain this week, on Wednesday, which had wet down the whole country 'round and was of great benefit, even if it did retard the threshing of early cut grain. He does not expect to, price or buy any wheat until delivered at the elevator. Bought Wheat at 93 Cents The elevator manager at Crete, Ind., reports "buying a little new wheat at 98c " No, it hasn't been threshed and it is not expected that any threshing will be done until after the Fourth, he said, "but all the wheat Is in shock or will be by Saturday evening." Crete has had its share of rainfall this week and gardens, crops and pastures were greatly benefitted, is the report. Frank McKee, of Pershing, gave us a few interesting figures as to the "overhead" costs in running a country elevator, on Friday, but ina?much as he promises to make a three-year compilation we shall await his letter before dipping into that subject. Mr. McKee has not bought any new crop grain, as yet. He said that while the early potato crop was the only one clamoring for rain the downpour on Wednesday did much good, and corn is growine faster because of the drenching." The wheat around Pershing is nearly all in shock, and possibly all will be by Saturday night, unless rain prevents." said Mr. McKee on Friday evening. Report From Winchester TUanriP-pr Cnndrich. of the Goodrich Bros., elevator at Winchester, says that wheat harvesting is practically over in that section, although an odd crop here and there remained to be cut on Friday night. Winchester had an old-fashioned rain last Wednesday, which wil benefit late oats. "Our oats will be short, but the fields which got an early start are likely to produce fairly well, and we expect to have some good oats to handle." said Mr. Goodrich. He says his elevator has contracted for a few crops of wheat at "around $1 per bushel. Heavy Chinch Infestation Albert Lamberson, living about, four miles southwest of Dublin, was in Richmond all of Friday afternoon, on the trail of barrier oil or other remedies for chinch bugs. Mr. Lamberson told us that he has a 20 acre field of corn, which adjoined a wheat field which has just been harvested, and Briefs It's Time to Insure DOUGAN-JENKINS CO.

1 V that the rows near the stubble is simply black with the bugs." There are millions of them," said he, "and I want advice as to how best to combat them." It so happened that county agent Dolan was out along the Middleboro pike on a chinch bug mission, so Mr. Lamberson failed to meet him at his office. Mr. Lamberson! said they had been so busy in his hav and wheat that the bugs had gotten a start, in fact had nirondv mii three acres of young corn and he was ' anxious to stop their devastating career. The wheat field, he said, was close to his barn lot, which Is now being overrun with bug3. He has two other corn fields on the place, at some distance from hi3 wheat, and he did not think the bugs had yet reached either of these. He returned home prepared to make a fight He carried a lot of spray material and said he has a 100-gallon power sprayer outfit.

There will be something doing every minute of the day and evening for everybody's entertainment Delights of Farm Life A Minnesota farmer writes to his local paper on the joys and advantages of being a farmer. He speaks of several brands of farmers, as follows: "A farmer Is an individual who works 13 hours a day for a living; if the undertaker gets him before he is 50 he don't even get that He works from 5 in the morning until noon to pay his taxes and interest; he works all the afternoon to pay the hired man, and after supper he goes out and works until dark to try and save enough to get his wife a new dress and hat, which she must have every five years whether she needs it or not. "Some folks farm because they like to and cannot sleep after 5 o'clock in the morning; others because they have to, and nobody cares about the rest The farmer wakes up in the morning in springtime amid the beautiful notes of the song birds and in the fall wakes up as the other notes are due. "A farmer raises a big family to help him farm; when they are young they can't help and when they grow up they go to town to drive a street car or work in a bank. "There are two kinds of farmers; check book farmers and p-mss mnt idirt farmers. One makps his mnnev in town and spends It in the country! tne other is trying to save enough in the country to pay what he has already spent in town."

people: STRIKE TALK AND RUST BAD THRESHING NEWS LIFTS PRICE OF WHEAT (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 1. Railroad strike talk, black rust news and unfavorable threshing returns all have had a part in bringing about high prices this week. Sompared with a week ago, .wheat quotations today were to 1 cents up; was down to 1 to 14 cents; oats off to 2 cents, and provisios unchanged to 45 cents lower. Wheat buying associations with the strike situation was based on a contingent prospect that receipts by rail would be checked, and that the bulk of the stock of wheat here might be shipped out on lake vessels, leaving shorts in an uncomfortable position. Inasmuch as large amounts of wheat held in other markets had been hedged by means of sales in Chicago, the July delivery hera was particularly in demand at times, a favorable operation being to purchase July and sell Sept Adverse ThFeshlng Reports. Adverse threshing reports camo from states as wide apart as Ohio and Nebraska, and were followed by a sharp reduction In the generally accepted unofficial estimates of the tota. winter wheat yield. On the other hand, although presence of black rust was confirmed in three of the four leading spring crop states, the market effect was minimized by the absence of any assertion that actual damage had yet been done. Holiday preparations on the part of manytraders counted also as an offset to bulls' efforts, and led to price setbacks at intervals. Corn and oats parted company from wheat and displayed a distinct tendency to seek a lower level of values. Rains which fell where needed to give relief to the growing corn crop appeared to be the chief factor. Downturns in the price of hogs weakened the provision market. NEW YORK, July 1. Passing oi the first half of the year in the securities market was accompanied by a pronounced change from recent ensa tional movements in 6tocks and the prolonged upward trend of the bond list. Quoted values of shares, almost with the sole exceptions of rails, eased visibly from high levels of the previous fortnight and the drive against rhorts in Mexican Petroleum caused a welcome cessation of remarkable antics in that stock.
