GRAIN PRICES (Mrieis by E. F. L&iacd & Company, 212 Union National Bant - Building) CHICAGO, 111., July 31. Wheat exhibited weakness at the opening as a result of an unusual decline in prices at Liverpool and hedging pressure the latter reflecting freer offerings by the country. The first prices were at a decline of from wheat 1 to l78 in the instant of the September ajid December. The July being somewhat more effected. The market continued to display a rather heavy tone throughout the rest of the day although the decline which occAred after the opening figures were made, was partly recovered, but not entirely retained. Some congesting became apparent at the low levels and while export inquiry was light. There may have been

more or a demand of this character than was announced. A considerable increase was reported in the visible supply and primary receipts for two days increased slightly, over 500,000 bushels compared with last week. Clearance saes were of fair volume. Cash market here was 2 to 3c lower and Kansas City 2 to 4c lower. Corn and oats were influenced by the decline in wheat likewise they showed weakness at the opening and afterwards had a small rally. Local receipts of corn were fair and cash values sustained. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, July 31.

PRICES AT MILLER YARDS ARE LOWER; RECEIVE 12 LOADS By WILLIAM R. SANBORN In spite of the drop in prices and unsatisfactory railway conditions last weeli, Rome Shurley, of the Glen Miller stock yards, reports buying 12 carloads of live stock during the week and the payment of $18,040.75 to the sellers. The receipt of that number of carloads, principally of hogs, indicated a desire to sell, in spite of falling prices and regardless of hot weather for shipping fat hogs, and the need for careful handling and light loading. Pittsburgh reported a greater than average percent of dead hogs arriving last week, on account of the heat, this doubtless being true of all points farther east. The local receipts consisted of 755 hogs, weighing 172,170 pounds, 33 veals and 24 spring lambs. "While all kinds of reasons were given for last week's break in hog prices," said Mr. foUrifJn-'la Z. Wfva Plin aSe of 6o iu, vuc .aim smsuu. The price of corn is responsible for the general tendency to make hogs carry weight, and this in spite of the falling off in the demand for lard.

Sows sold for $4 to $6 and stags $3 to $4 per cwt. We paid $6 to $10 for calves, $1.50 to 3 for sheep, and $6 to $10 per cwt. for lambs." Dry fed cattle ruled steady in all markets last week, while grassers were weak. Largest Hog Delivery. The largest delivery of hogs was made by Harry Gilbert, who marketed 366 head which brought him $9,272.50, a tidy lot of money to pull down with the thermometer in the nineties. John A. McClure didn't do so' badly, either, his 96 head entitling him to a check for $2,246., Harry Chenoweth delivered 63 hogs' which netted him $1,408; Harrison Miller collected $1,427 for 76 hogs which sold at nine and 10 cents, and Dan Kennard, of Lynn, cashed in 34 hogs for $719.

The sue-! cess of thi3 movement depended very largely upon the passage of the Cap-per-Tincher Bill. This bill in amend ed form is still in the hands of the Senate and at this time there is every Collate UUU CI. 1 lUlO ViiiiV. I - 4. v.. ' - . indication that the organized grain morlDic will nHnno fn fip-ht n t-a tist the establishment of a farmers sales agency in any of the principal markets of the central west. "I have been corresponding for several months with buyers of grain who do a track bidding business and in this connection, I went to Cleveland, Ohio on July 3rd to talk over such a proposition with H. W. Robinson of the Union Elevator Company." Will Solicit Track Bids On July 13th I received written au thorization from the officers of the J U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., which empowered me to negotiate a contract with any buyer of grain operating on the basis commonly known as track bidding, or to take steps for the creation of a company with capital stock authorized under the laws of Indiana to do a regular brokerage business for our members. "The contract with Mr. Robinson was signed by him on July 17th and under its provision, we will begin i elevators and local gram growers associations identified with us. We have no intention of abruptly calling your contract into operation. It will be impossible to fuliy organize the local Grain Grower Associations except by fully reviewing the lists of contracts written in each community to ascerpossible to put their organization in the best possible condition for our future activities. Full information will be published from time to time in the Hoosier Farmers, Organized. "In conclusion let me say to the U. S. Grain Grower members as well as to all farmers who are interested in this great movement, that this i3 but the first step in carrying out this great program. Its success will de pend in part on you. lour loyalty throughout the trying experiences of the past year has been wonderful. Will you hold the line?" JAMES K. MASON. Butter and Egg Stocks The stocks of creamery butter held in cold storage are very heavy at this time. They totalled about 68,000.000 pounds in July 1, or almost 6,000,000 pounds more than in storage on July 1, 1921. The present storage stocks are the largest on record, except in the boom year 1919, when they ran up to 90,000,000. As a matter of fact our present uutter stocks exceed the average of the past 5 years pretty close to 8,000,000 pounds. June was a would fully protect the rights of the strikers and the new men and yet would yield full justice to those who by remaining at work had helped to keep the nation s would be found. One of the plans under consideration he said, would return pension privileges and seniority. rights to the strikers, but would rank them on the shop lists below the men who remained at work' but ahead of. the new men

emergency, the new men to receive the rank to which they were entitled by length of actual service. He said that this would not conflict with any promiss made to new employes and would be in line with settlements reached in other railway strikes. In railway circles it was asserted that any settlement would insist on a return to work by the men under the reduced wages put into effect by the labor board on July 1, pending a rehearing. The question of national or regional adjustment boards, it was said, might be put before congress, while the roads would yield on the main grievance at issue by agreeing to the aboli iment of outside contracting for shopwork. disorders in the strike showed a marked falling off Sunday. Three men exchanged 50 shots with state guardsmen at Denison Texas in the most serious outbreak reported over the Sabbath. No one was injured.

Fertilizing the Orchards The value of the use of fertilizer in fruit orchard is being more generally appreciated from year to year. The principal problem of the fruit grower is to get a good fruit crop. Experts tell us that ordinarily if one blossom out of 13 produces fruit a good crop wi!I follow. Frequently, however, oniy one out of 50 or even 100, sets fruit. Investigations have shown that

thereMs a close relation between the'ericai order here given, closely allied

nitrogen supply in the twig at biossoteing and fruit setting dates, and j mat ny me proper use of fertilizer the grower can. in a large measure control not only the setting of the fruit but the formation of the buds as will. In discussing the use of fertilizer in the orchard, Professor V. R. Gardner, University of Missouri, pointed out that, since an abundant supply of nitrogen in the tissues at blossoming time is a prerequisite to fruit setting, an application of available nitrogen, when necessary, should be made to the tree at blossoming time, or a few days before, at the rate of from four to five pounds of fertilizer per tree Professor Gardner told of experiments in which this method of fertilization Increased the yield of apples from IS bushels per tree to 24 bushels. The Fly-Free Dates The extension department of the Ohio U. in commenting upon the disastrous experience of farmers who disregarded the fly-free dates for sowing wheat last year advises farmers against making a similar mistake thi3 year. C. H. Waid. of the state department of agriculture, tells of his inspection of 14 wheat fields in seven northwestern Ohio counties. These fields were sown early and showed an average of 86 per cent of infestation. and the crops were almost nil. In further explanation Mr. Waid goes on to state that most farmers observed the proper dates and that these farmers cut their average infestation to 20 per cent, this despite the fact that early sown and heavily infested fields will spread the fly for at least a half-mile radius about. This spread takes place in the spring. It is reported that in the counties south of Columbus, where the fly-free dates were almost unanimously observed, the average infestation was cut to three per cent. So far as wheat growing is concerned, what goes for Ohio will go in Indiana and we have no doubt whatever that the fly-fre? dates in this state will be closely observed. We recall that. last year many farmers deferred their sowing from two days to a week after the dates set, according to location. About Bacteria In Milk We don't know how these college professors get that way, nor how they manage to corner and count so many thousands of bacteria per second. But it seems that they do. We have met ancient farmers with whiskers a foot or so long, who had been milking and drinking milk for 60-odd years, who never had got a peek at a singl-2 bacteria nor discovered the quantity of milk in a "cubic centimeter" In all that time. But listen farmers and dairymen, just listen. Here is where we drop out and let the professor do the talking, as per a letter from the Ohio U., as follows: "Bacteria that produce a new generation every 20 seconds and drive out most other kinds of bacteria from milk within 30 seconds are what causes milk to sour, says a dairy professor at the Ohio State University, telling how to keep down these lactic acid organisms. "Cool milk at once after it has been drawn, and keep it cool," urges this scientist, R. B. Stoltz. "It is 9S de . gr(,es Farenheit when it is drawn, and it ought to be cooled at once to 60 de grees. "If milk when drawn contains 5.000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, and is left to stand uncooled for two minutea, it will then have 320,000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter. Spring water, QIFArSffAQ 9 rffifTTOCC Kilt if it is cool enough. He discourages the mixing of morning and evening milk, and denies the statement sometimes made that use of a cooler lowers the fat test." Briefs NOTICE Members of L 0. 0. F. will meet this evening at 7:15 o'clock fast time to attend funeral of Brother Dick Van Zant. By order of Secretary, L A. Handley.
