GRAIN PRICES (Mcrlceis by E. F. Lfeiaci & Cora?2.ny. 212 Union National Bans .2-ilding) CHICAGO. 111., Aug. 5. Wheat Had an unsettled opening with prices ranging from one-half lower to one-half higher, followed with a downward reaction on reported rains, in the Canadian northwest. Some hedging was again in evidence in the early part of session. Local receipts averaged a fair volume and cash premiums declined one-half cent.' Total clearance of wheat and flour yesterday amounted to 192,30 bushels over the same day last year. Grain charters out of New York totaled 30 vessels for the week. The action of the market indicates that the recant congestion has been fairly well enlightened. Corn started with slight fraction difference from the levels of the previous night. Indications are for very favorable weather through the grain belt to the growing crop and we believe prices migLt reach lower levels on this move. Oats opened one-eighth higher to one-eighth lower from previous close and sold off through the session in sympathy with other grains, closing at about the low of the day.

iWHFAT PRIRF ! IIMP 1 H-H I I IIIUU UlaUIIII WITH BIG RECEIPTS GIVES MARKET JOLT (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 5. Big receipts and new low-record prices for the season have jolted the wheat market this week, and have been countered by an energetic move to get farmers to hold back their wheat. As a net result, wheat prices this morning were exactly the same as a week ago to 1 cents lower, corn 1 to lc down, oats off to 1, and provisions showing declines ranging from 17 20 to 4,0 cents. With more than 1,100 carloads of wheat arriving here on a single day, and with selling pressure from the new crop the heaviest yet witnessed in 1922, the market displayed but little power to rally until the head of one of the largest grain companies here advocated strongly a slowing up of rural offerings and declared an up ward movement of values was in prospect. This stand was subsequently DacKea by another leading authority, and was followed by a sharp rally that offset for the most part the price setbacks which had taken place earl ier m the week. Active export buying was an important factor in helping to renew sentiment against the bear side of the wheat market. In this connection it was estimated that Europe apparently would need 100,000,000 bushels or more in excess of last year's requirements. Rail and coal strike developments and the progress of the spring wheat harvest were closely watched, hut failed as a rule to exert more than transient influence. Corn and oats were governed mainly by the action of wheat. Provisions declined in the absence of any special demand. NEW YORK, 'Aug. 5.

The Farm' and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

An idea of the immense quantities of agricultural produce received in a large city, daily, for local use and re-j shipment a3 desired, may be gleaned from this statement of Wednesday's receipts at Chicago. After stating that prices on potatoes were 5c higher on bulk carloads, and 25 cents lower on barrelled stock, the reporter says there were "receipts of 35 cars, with 178 cars on track." He next reports the arrival of 90 cars of peaches, 125 cars of watermelons, 104 cars of cantaloupes, 10 cars of apples, 33 cars of onions and 37 cars of oranges, all on A. 1- TirJ A-wr 1 Nor wasthiTr ail out of the ordlnary; as a matter of fact the receipts for the day were light, compared to many days of the year. When it is further considered that Chicago is in the very heart of the trucking district and that thousands of truck loads of vegetables and melons are now trucked in from nearby farms every week, together with fruits in season, the immensity of it all is most impressive. We all are familiar with the Hampshirt Belt type of hogs, with its broad white stripe, but the dutch Belted dairy cow i3 almost unknown in the west. In fact there are comparatively few of them in the entire country. Still they are in sufficient numbers to warrant an association and a national secretary, the latter being J. A. Kirby," of Covert, Michigan. A number of J ! these cows have been on official test

Worst pounds of butterfat in one year.

Farm Bloc Will Grow, John Snure, a writer on agricultural topics, sees evidence that the faun bloc in congress is not only a going . concern of considerable importance, hut that it is destined to grow. He formerly did and there are indications "in the last year, there has been much criticism of the agricultural bloc in congress criticism proceeding from interests hostile to agriculture or out of touch with agriculture. But this criticism has weighed little with the country as a whole. Proof of it will be seen in the new congress which will take office in March of next year and will be elected in November. The new congress will be more pro"It Is worth while taking note of tho fact that the Esch-Cummms transportation act has been an issue in a number of states and congressional districts. The farmers have been insisting for many months on te overhauling of this law. "Numerous men In congress, senate and house, who have sat silent and inactive when they might haie done ' : . i- - . ; . something enecuve to get neipiui evidently do nothing to help solve the troublesome railroad and freight rate problem a most vital one for tho farmers and shippers the new congress is quite likely to feel called on to do something." Great Horse Shoe Pitching You may think you are some horse i Eoe Pitcher. You should consider the records made b G- E- Snyder of IthaI ca. New York, the other day. In three nrty-pomt games ce tnrew lorty-six ringers, and eight double ringers. i i nese are tne ngures rurnisnea us Dy Director Mann, of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell Uni versity and they must be accurate, though they seem amazing. Mr.Snyder is a fruit grower at Albion, and he1 was the Empire State's champion at the national tournament in Florida last winter. "It is not generally realized that many vegetables can be planted this month with good results. Beets and h carrots, while considered cool-weath er crops, will mature before freezing. Celery can be set, spinach sowed and bunch beans planted. A favorable fall will mature them all," says a gardener who claims to know all about late planting. Canadian Grain Crops Much interest centers in Canadian grain production, as for export consumption we are practically one country, foreign buyers wanting spring wheat bidding for cargoes from both countries freely, and this regardless of the states or provinces where grown. It is merely a question of price and shipping rates. For this reason American grain dealers and speculators watch the Canadian fields and markets closely, some of them going to the expense of keeping crop estimators in the Canadian provinces in the growing season. In quoting a report received from the representative of a Chicago house, thij market editor of the Chicago Tribune says: "A wheat crop of 320,000,000 bu. in the three Canadian northwestern prov inces is shown by the detailed Cle

ment Curtis and Co., crop report com-

pared with 270,000,000 bu. harvested last year. Oats crop estimated at 350,000,000 bu. against 284,000,000 bu. last year. Condition of wheat is 83.4, or 6.6 points less than a month ago, Dut 14.4 points better than the five year average. Oats condition. 82.1, or 11 points above the average." The following brief paragraph, relating to our own crops, is from the same source and will be read with interest: "Oats are yielding better th to tu"s to the Price Current-Grain Reporter, Thrashing weights range from 28 to 34 lbs. Der bu. Winter wheat is of excellent quality and yield good, rang-i ing as high as 40 to 50 bu. per acre in some locatities. Corn promises to mature before frost." Better Live Stock Estimates There has been considerable complaint relating to the live stock estimates given out by the department of agriculture, and it now appears that this work is to be done in a more dependable manner. In an editorial upon this subject Wallaces' Farmer recently aid: "The department of agriculture Is finally getting to work on the matter of reporting numbers of live stock more frequently and more accurately. i The government has always done f airThe May postoffice survey of the spring crop and prospective breeding for fall pigs gave far better results than anyone had hoped. In certain sections where fairly accurate figures were already available, the postoffice figures checked very closely. It is now proposed that the Department of Agriculture will co-operate with the Postoffice Department in making two surveys a year, one about the middle of May and one the first of December. The December survey will deal with the prospective breeding for spring litters, and also with the number of ; feeding cattle on hand and the probable date of marketing. Figures se cured in this way will be checked against terminal market figures as to movement of live stock and also against actual enumeration figures secured from some 60,000 farmers every month. "As the live stock estimates become increasingly accurate, there will be i much less danger of the alternating periods or over supply ana unaer sup-i ply which have done so much to cause the alternating profit and loss periods in the live stock market." Federation Activities Farm bureau membership campaigns have been held up during the busy summer and harvest season, but solicitors are now getting back into the various fields. In Maryland, for example, Clarence Henry, an Ohio man, began lining up the counties on July 17th. He began near Hagerstown. at which point the two losal papers got out farm bureau editions on an advertising basis, as is usual in all such cases. Maryland is al- , . . . .i c . i r.. v.. most virgin territory ior iuc ianu bureau. R. C. Pollack is also in Maryland and is lining up, or will line up, various counties by getting local farmers interested in helping to form county farm bureau organizations. C. E. Nelson Ls still in Floyd county, Virginia, endeavoring to complete organization work. He Is planning to connect Floyd and Montgomery counties in the one organization, "In as much as Floyd maintains its contract with the outside world through Montgomery, by hauling 90 per cent of all Its supplies from Chritsianburg by Solicitors are now at work in Lancaster county, Penna., the banner to- ; bacco district of the state. The rarm j bureau is not widely known in Penn sylvania as yet, but the publicity given to the farm bloc by the papers of the state, and the connection of the bloc with various farm bureau measures, has resulted in wide spread advertising of farm bureau purposes. The board of directors of the state farm bureau of North Dakota met with representatives of the American farm bureau on July 18 and discussed plans for a state-wide membership campaign this fall. This campaign will be started as 60on as spring wheat threshing operations are out of the way. It is said that: "The A. F. B. standard organization publicity campaign is to be used In its entirety, in North Dakota." It is also planned to do a lot of reorganization work inj Illinois this fall. It is reported mat 33 counties are to take up this work of reorganization and of signing up former members.
