GRAIN PRICES (Markets ty E. F. Leiasi & Company, 213 Union National Bans gilding) CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 4. Wheat had a decidedly strong tone from the beginning, due to higher cables and a more optimistic feeling about the situation in general. With a good demand for wheat to go to the seaboard, limited pressure, and removal of hedges against sales of cash wheat, the market recorded a good advance, after opening from IVi to 1 cent higher than previous close. Bradstreet's report exports from July 1 to date showed a decrease as compared with the period of last year of 6.631,000 bushels shipments from Argentine this week year. European wheat crop is reportare 2,083,000 bushels more than last

year. European wheat crop is report ed considerably under last year s crop, w-hich fact deserves consideration. As the situation . presents itself now we believe that somewhat higher prices may be attained on the present movement. Corn Reflecting the strength In wheat, opened fractionally higher and maintained its advance throughout the session. Private reports from the northwest say that there is some de--terioration in the corn crop due to lack of moisture. T he closing prices were near the high of the day. Oats showed only moderate strength and activity throughout the session and closed with gains of about cent over the pilvious figures. At the present time oats show a tendency to follow other grains.

Avalanches cr tourists are arriving in the wake of the latest plunge of the mart and are swamping the clothing stores, appearing overnight in brand new outfits of German clothing. The rush at the counters is so great that the natives are becoming alarmed at the possibility of greatly increased prices due to the unusual demand. Fear is also rampant that there will be a scarcity of clothes ! for the Germans themselves if the ! from taking German merchandise i out of the country, at least for a short time. It would, however, leave the usual export channels open for international traffic. The official statistics show that the influx of foreigners in Berlin during July totalled 32,402.

TOUR OF ORCHARDS

IN SOUTHERN INDIANA IS MADE BY GROWERS By WILLIAM H. SASDORX ,lhe midsummer meeting of tBe uiaua nurwcuuuriii society, wuicu i " J ." TT . : 1 . : . i ; . , I

met at Vincennes on Tuesday, Wed- to town late in the evening, without nesday and Thursday of this week, having discovered a man, woman or was marked by the largest attendance child from Union county. Worse ever noted and by a complete Tour of 1 still and more of it, a Wayne county the great peach and apple orchards t farmer named Deitemeyer also jouraround Vincennes, and in the no.thernjneyed hither and yon through the section of Knox county.

not prepared to say. Walter Ratliff is absent in California. Oliver La Fuze, of Liberty, well known orchardist, was unable to attend; nor could H. M Gaar, liviDg near Cambridge City, attend the meeting this summer. But among the enthusiasts from thl3 part of the country who did drive to Vincennee to take in the proceedings, were Harry Shute, of the Garwood road, Martin and Wesler. New Paris orchardists, John McWhinney, Omer Puthoff, living east of Richmond and L. D. Daugherty, living in the Pershing section. Stephen Kuth, living across the Ohio line in Preble, said he regretted being too busy to make the trip. Keith Martin said that he and his partner enjoyed both the 220 mile ! drive and the tours over the rolling orchard lands. Harrv Shute said: "They have wonderful peach orchards around Vincennes. We visited an or chard from which they expect to ship 40,000 bushels of peaches, the fruit all having been sold to one Chicago concern, at a set price f. o. b. cars. The price, in bushel baskets, was said to be $2.50 per basket, but as to this being correct I can't say. And this is but one of several orchards. They also raise a world of fine apples in Knox county and to see these apple orchards Is well worth the trip." Served 2,500 at Dinner At the noon hour on Tuesday dinner was served at the Simpson home, three miles east of Vincennes. It is said that 2,500 people were served. The mother tree of practically all the winesap apples grown in the county is lo cated on the Simpson place. It is 38 years old and is still credited with bearing 50 bushels in an average fruit year. Oaktown, in Knox county, declared a holiday and met a string of 350 autos with a brass band during the afternoon. Then followed a feast of watermelons, free to all comers. The cantaloupe season in Knox is now closing while the watermelon season is just opening up.

The commercial bulletin tomorrow will say: "A fair demand has been in evidence in the wool market this week, which has emj braced nearly all grades at steady prices. 1 upe uiug ui mc Aiiitri ii;au Woolen company apparently is being ended with a fairdegree of success, and this gives the wool trade more confidence. The tariff is still uncertain, but not sufficiently so as to cause any price cutting, especially in the problem of replacement. A little buying is reported in a desultory way in the west, on recent priced levels. OHIO SUPREME COURT ENTIRELY REPUBLICAN (By United Press) COLUMBUS, Aug. 4.

Being a woodsman right he later reached the road and headed for home, where he arrived during the night, in a dilapidated condition and more or less tuckered out. That being the story told us Thursday by the trio which went out on this voyage of discovery we very naturally became alarmed for the safety of our friends from Union county. On calling up the county agent's office in the courthouse at Liberty we were told that the whole kit and caboodle had arrived safely at home on Wednesday evening, none the worse for their adventure. This relieved the tension and so we told a brief story which covered the facts, in The Palladium on Thursday 1DSIt now appears that the Union coun ty club members pitched their tents and spread their eatables in an unexplored portion of the Glen to the south of the Dlay grounds. Here they en joyed the contents of numerous well filled baskets, next listened to a few remarks by assistant state club leader, Austin, and then sallied forth to have a good time at the play grounds, in boating on the lake, etc. Peach Orchards Worth Seeing Both Martin and Wesler, of the Martin-Wesler Orchards Co., of New Paris, dropped in at the Palladium office on Thursday afternoon, where they displayed and distributed samples of their fine Carman peaches, just recently beginning to ripen. A section of one of the branches, closely laden with large peaches, remains in the office as a reminder of their visit! and also of the fact that some mighty nice peaches may be listed as "homo grown" this year. In this single ten-acre orchard may be found rows of Carman, Champion. Miami Ross, Capt. Ede, Elberta and J. H. Hale peaches. The Carman are the first to ripen and the Hales the latest to come to market. This extends the season from August 1, into September and glve3 the house wife a choice of variety and time as to the preserving and canning of her winter supply. Mr. Martin states that thev estimated the crop from this sin gle plot at around 2,000 bushels or 200 bushels to the acre. This comnanv owns several orchards, we are told, and will have a liberal supply of late apples and a world of grapes, consisting of four or five popular va rieties. , A visit to these orchards will impress one with the advantages of proper pruning, spraying and fertilizing fruit trees. Many farmers will bo further interested in the fact that by making a trip to the orchards they can secure fruit of which they are short at home. Fine Wheat Around Carlos W. C. Shoemaker, ro.an.ager of the Farmers' grain elevator af Carlos, reports that wheat threshing is about done in his section, and that it ran from 15 bushels to as high as 30 bushels to the acre. He says that the average quality was good, mostly grading No. 2, and that a liberal per cent of the crop has already been marketed. "We are beginning to thresh oats," said he. "but both the yield and. test is light No corn is coming to market but we are grinding ' . . - j a lot ot grain ioi iwu. How the Chigger Chigs While entomologists of the Ohio state university, professionally, know little or nothing about chiggers, ona of them has been blackberrying and has come to know a little something about them, personally. So he has done a little reading on the subject, and nassps on the results to the Public as follows: Flowers of sulfur liberally dusted on the hosiery will act as a certain preventive of chigger bites. This is the opinion of H. E. Ewing, entomologist of the United Slates department of agriculture, who has done special chigger investigation work, and who is the best known authority on the little noctc n thia rnnntrv .otc o-i , b t chigper8- ln the first ttey df) nQtslive oa vegetation but on he ground. Second the y do not bury themselves in the flesh; theyj tmnl,, kita Anil -rr gft ortn A 1 c , this investigator finds no one person naturally more susceptible to chiggers than any other. The reason some get bit while others escape, he holds, are that some wear high shoes, puttees, or tight garters below the - jknee. Again, some folks pick black berries sitting down while others stand. Charcoal For Chickens A chicken fancier raises a point about scattering ashes for the use of chickens which is seldom noted.

Mrs. Forest Neal, an Indiana farm woman, tells the Farmers' Guide that she owns two pullets that were hatched on January 17 and that both of them began laying on May 24 and have been laying ever since. She does not tell the variety of chickens referred to. Fruit to be Plentiful Secretary Cruikshank of the Ohlox horticultural society is our authority . J for the statement that while the apple crop of that state Is to fall below the average of the last five years, it a larer crop than was grown in 1921. This, he adds, "applies to all the apple-growing states east of the Rockies. A little more than a third of the commercial crop will be grown In the western states this year." Prof.' Cruikshank continues as follows: "The total apple crop is estimated at 190 million bushels. Last year's crop was 98 million bushels, and the average crop of the five years preceding was 179 million bushels. "Peaches, taking the country as a whole, will probably make a bumper crop, and pears a normal crop of about 15 million bushels. Except uiiuges, lemons, and grapefruit all kinds of fruit appear to be better than they were last year, as to total crop. "The Pacific Coast States expect a commercial apple crop of about a million less barrels than they had last year. New England will have 140,000 more barrels than last year, and New York will have 5,000,000 barrels, double its last year's yield. Wayne County Has Rich Soil J. B. Newman, a Pulaski county farmer, complimented Wayne county in his talk to farmers on Wednesday night by stating that he had seldom seen a better farming country than this. Mr. Newman's talk was ilevnfpH to telling farmers how to mix their own fertilizers. He advised the buying of the various ingredients desired, and stated that the mixing can be done here at home as well as anywhere. The speaker did not give the exact analysis he recommended for Wayne county, but did say that a complete fertilizer should ordinarily bo 3 used here and that of the highest possible analysis. Sweet Clover a Main Crop Sweet clover has been established as a real crop in Atchison County, Mo. It now ranks next to corn in acreage. Last year about five thousand acres were grown in the county and this year county igent Slaughter has knowledge of enough seed being sold from three different towns in the county to seed a total of twenty-five thousand acres. This crop has ga?ned a foothold apparently because of ita value as forage and fertilizer and also because it fits very well into a short rotation. It is being used for grazing mainly and in connection with the feeding of cattle, says the report from the Missouri agricultural college, which says: "On the Durham Rankin farm near

Tarkio one-quarter section has been in sweet clover pasture for two years. This summer Mr. Rankin has fed fiv hundred steers on this quarter section their total feed being corn and sweet clover pasture. From 450 to 500 head of hogs have also been fed on this field. This great number of animals did not result in a shortage of pasture in fact the sweet clover stood throughout the season from two to eight inches high and could have supported a much larger number of livestock. Mr. Rankin reports that the amount of corn eaten by the steers was considerably less for each pound of grain as compared to grains madewith a full feed of corn on blue grass pasture. It is Mr. Rankin's plan tor'-, plow this pasture this fall and plaq j in corn next year. The soil will have then not only the nitrogen that has been added but the additional fertility caused . by having every pound of feed produced on the field for two years returned directly to tho land."
