GRAIN PRICES I (Miriets by E. F. Lelani & Company, 212 Union National Bans Building) CHICAGO, 111.. Aug. 3. Wheat Wheat opened lower than yesterday's close, selling down to lowest for both September and December, due to lower cables and hedging pressure. Later in the session a firmer tone was established on fair buying of houses with seaboard connections. One million bushels of wheat were reported sold for export through Chicago handlers. A car of No. 1 Northern, 61 lbs., reported sold in Minneapolis 13 over. This is the lowest price so far for new wheat. Total clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 404,000 bushels, which 13 91,000 bushels in excess of the total last year for the same days. Corn The first prices were at a moderate decline from the levels of the previous close, sympathizing with the action of wheat. Some rains were reported in Oklahoma, which news was the occasion of freer offerings and " a further decline. A fractional recovery from the low levels of the day took place near the end. No special cash demand. Oats Oats experienced a moderate decline from the figures of the previous day and later established a moderate recovery. There was nothing of especial note in the situation. Cash prices easier, with interest at a low ebb. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Aug. 3.

nut trom nearly every province reports pour in o Moscow that not in many years have such growing crops been seen. When rains were needed, they came this spring in. a profusion that made up for last year's drouth. When sunshine was necessary it was on hand. Unless some unprecedented weather condition develops between now and the time of the harvest, practically every bushel of seed that was planted last autumn and this spring seems to bear fruit Rye fields higher than a man's head, the ears fairly drooping with kernels, are waving and browning throughout the Volga and central Russia, while the wheat is coming up ! m good shape In Siberia, and the Ukraine. Potatoes and other veeetables are flourishing. Cattle which looked like skeletons in the winter are fattening on rich green pasture land. 1921 Grain Grows In some localities stricken last year by the drouth an unusual phenomenom has ben noticed. Grain sown in the spring of 1921, which failed to sprout at all last summer has come up this year to swell the small sowings which were available in the Bprmg 01 in omer places, wnere the gram was so short and developed last autumn as to be unworthy of spring of 1922. In other places, where' harvesting, these dwarf plants dropp ed their seed and this, too, has sprouted under the rains and sun-; shine. . i Generally speaking the ground seems to have gained strength durirfg the famine year, and the. rich nitrates which a big 1921 crop would have exhausted were left in the soil to fatten the kernels and strengthen the stalks of this summer's grain. The areas sown this year perhaps were less than last in many provinces, but the crop itself is so good that the yield is expected to be more than three and a helf billion poods of grain for all Russia, a billion more than last year. (A pood is 36 pounds). If the surplus of fruitful regions can be transported to the cities and the non-productive localities, and if the peasants do not hoard it, Russian officials express the conviction that famine will be practically dead and that after October full stomachs will succeed hunger for most of Russia's population.

The rarm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The close of the present week will see the end of the wheat threshing season in Wayne and adjoining counties. Threshing of oats will continue a few days longer, then the separators will again go into storage for alA good threshing ng CL CUV I i, Cl AISVL w w - son of the vear. It costs considerable to man and run such an outfit, also to move it from one farm to another. In addition to all this the work is hard and driving. In looking back over a number of years we fail to recall any owner of a threshing rig who has retired worth a million dollars. Not that thpsi worthv men dont deserve to have an the money they can enjoy, and to own live stock on a hundred hills, for they do. But for some strange reason they fail to hit the ball. But' for the fact that these threshers are mostly farmers, who work late and earlv and do up their chores before and after meals, the noble and ancient order of threshermen would throw up the sponge and go out or business

Tnis tnougnt gives ub fy " Relations wo"l nd the foundations of

ers. we nate to uinn ui s-"u6 to the treading out or me grain as iu the days of Abraham, or of those of our granaratners, wm ""?r"..; with the flail. Let us men De khhii to the thresherman within our Darn lots and thus assure him of our kind regards and of our hope that he will continue in business, whether he makes any money or not. Oats at Different Prices. Three scholarly gentlemen who are addicted to making a living in the trrain pipvator business gave us their ving prices on oats on Wednesday f pnseflTSt man said: "We . , loads of nats a verv fair article, at 26 cents.' Number two said: "The oats in this section will not come on the market; there are but few of them, as the crop was light. Still, we have bought a load or two at 28 cents. Number three said: "I think we have bought about 800 bushels of oats at 30 to 31 cents. We need these oats for our retail trade. Farmers are not at all anxious to sell oats; they can use tnem more profitably at home." Now, then, having read the above and considered the matter; what are oats worth in Wayne county? Don't all shout at once. v The Milton Grain company took in a little "contract" wheat at 97 cents, on Wednesday, and we picked up a spot or two where as high as 98 cents was paid on delivery of wheat bought some days ago. Nevertheless, the prevailing prices in Wayne and nearby Indiana counties all this week has been 95 cents at country points. Centerville got a few loads at that price on Tuesday and Wednesday. Are Out of Coal. Wa have taken care of all our threshers," said our friend at Green's Fork, "but we are now on our last legs.. In fact five or six tons is all the coal we have left." And this statement voices the condition at other points in the Richmond territory. The progressive youngsters comprising the Webster township corn club am tn eivft an ice cream social at the Friends' church in Webster, on Friday evening. Cake, ice cream and music are the set attractions and everyone will be welcome. Commission Charaes Too Hinh. Washington is as full of bureaus and administrative departments as an egg is full of meat. One of the latest of these swivel chair and glass-topped-desk official emporiums came into being through the passage of the last packers and stockyards' act, cow in force and effect for governing the packers and limiting the ownership of the stock in stockyards, switching roads, etc. No one denies that the packers needed a little judicious "regulating," nor contends that the packing business should be let run wild. Nor has it been. The meat and live stock inspection law, the regulation of the manufacture of oleomargarine, the condemnation of diseased animals as disclosed by inspection, are public measures of great national importance, each of which has been in force for many years. Right now the packers and stockyards administration at Washington has been handed a new nut to crack. Thirteen state live stock associations, the National Wool Growers and the American National Live Stock association have filed charges against the commission men operating in western live stock markets, from Chicago to Portland. Charees are that the commission men are "maintaining unjust, unreasonable, and discriminatory rates for the purchase and sale of live stock," and of conducting "an overdone and overmanned business." Rates Advanced 100 Percent. The complaints were sent out July 29 by the secretary of agriculture to each of the defendants, who were given until Sept. 1 to file an answer or satisfy the complaints. The organizations making the complaints represent that the live stock commission charges are substantially 100 percent higher than those prevailing on these markets in 1905; that they are unlawful and should be reig imposed on heavier animals where a smaller number is loaded in a car. Demands Overcharge Refunds. It scarcely seems probable that the Darties in action reallv exDect that the

The complairiants ask. on behalf of all shippers of live stock to the markets mentioned, for an award of damages against the defendants by the amount of commission charges collected over and above what may be determined by Secretary Wallace to be reasonable and just, reparation to date from the time these agencies became registrants under the act.. The producers' organizations, also direct attention to the alleged general belief of stockmen that the live stock commission business Is overdone, and therefore an unfair, unjust, and unreasonable burden is imposed on the shippers. Should Secretary Wallace find that the complainants have just cause for their action, and should he reduce the commission charges for selling live stock, buying feeders, eta, in line with the demands mada in the complaints, the farmers' co-operative sales assotheir business blown from under thelr feet. It is because the producers' assellnis bv rphntimr r,m t ,,- - -----r r.K pers, that they are in business at all This does not invalidate the fact that the great mass of live stock growers still are patronizing the regularly established commission firms and would reap such benefits as the reduction in rates afforded. The course of the proceedings at Washington will be watched with great interest. If in line with complainants' request, it is not unlikely that the courts will be appealed to for a final decision. Free Admission for Children. Every day will be Children's day at the Indiana state fair this year. Boys and girls of 12 years and under will be admitted free of charge each day of the fair. In the past this free attendance has been limited to Tuesdays only. "We want as many children as possi ble to visit the fair and for that reason have made the new ruling," Secretary Brown said. . The fair is regarded as one of the greatest educational Institu tions in the state. It is recognized as such by the Indiana state board of education, which recently adopted a resolution calling on local school authorities in the state to grant full time to school pupils who visit the fair." Mr. Brown said $90,000 in cash prizes will be awarded at their fair this year and that premiums have been increased in many departments. Farm Bureau Markets Melons By mwiis of organization and cooperation the farmers of Alabama are now talking in big numbers and dealing in big quantities, as demonstrated by the Alabama Farm Bureau Watermelon association. Early in the spring, when this association was organized with 1,000 growers in 34 communities and 10 counties, representing 8,000 acres, one of the first acts of the board of directors was to place an order for 2,000,000 labels, one of them to be stuck on each melon. A special paste is necessary for this purpose and 200 gallons of it were bought by the association. In addition it was necessary to buy 150 gallons of paste to treat stems to prevent stemend rot. During the first month of actually marketing melons this association sold 750 cars in 150 cities in 21 states and Canada. The states in which the melons, each bearing the "Alabama Sweetheart" label, were' sold are New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky. Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Toronto, Canada.
