GRAIN PRICES MareiB by E. F. Laiac & Cvranwy. 212 Union Ninon al Bans 2u;Ming) CHICAGO, Aug. 7. Wheat Pursuant, to the character of the market Saturday, the opening today was at a further decline. There were no Liverpod cables and values declined under the pressure of liquidation and hedging sales. Until new levels had been recorded in the December and May, the flemand was of a rather meager volume. Around the bottom prices for December, a broad demand developed in that month, but liquidation continued in the September. Toward the end. a moderate recovery took place. Receipts at Chicago for two days -were of about the average volume of the concluding days of last week. Kansas City receipts were fairly large. The visible supply increased about two and three-quarter millions which quantity is considerably under last week's increase. Rains in the Canadian northwest had some influence. Considerable attention is,didected to the car situation and th.? possibility, that with the resumption of mining, the movement of grain may be checked through cars being di
verted to the carrying of other commodities. Uu to the present the receipts of grain seem ample as compared with the demand. With the spring wheat movement pendign, it would appear difficult for prices to make any important gains. Corn Prices went lower at the beginning and afterwards further declire occurred. Liquidation was progress and there was no special demand until the visible supply figures were issued, showing a decrease of nearly six million bushels. A degree of strength developed and the last prices were at a moderate revovery from the low levels of the day. Cash prices were about unchanged. Oats Oat. sympathized with the ection of the other grains. The last prices were fractionally above the bottom levels of the day. Primary receipts for one day increased $465,000 bushels as compared with last week. There was a moderate increase in tho visible supply. Some further decline is probable.

HOG PRICES LOWER; ' CATTLE ARE HIGHER; LOCAL MARKET SURVEY By WILLIAM It. S.VXBORN , A total of 20 cars of live stock were shipped from the Glen Miller stock yards last week, Saturday being one of the biggest days of record, nine cars coming in on that day. "This goes to show," said Rome Shurley, "That Richmond is a real live stock market, and the number using these yards is proof that the prices paid right here at home suits a whole lot of live stock growers. The receipts last week comprised 1,108 hogs, weighing a total of 247,510 pounds, for which we paid $24,873.50; 109 spring lambs, which brought the shippers $831.95; 51 veals and 13 nead of cattle. Our total cash payments for the week were J27.0S8." The largest delivery of hogs was made by R. H. Commons, of Campbellstown, who marketed 178 head. Tom Ryan was second, with 125 head, he being closely followed by Alex McClure of Boston, with 122 head. Among other important sellers were: Joseph Seaney, 61; S. M. Heno, Snow Hill, 68; Henry Murray. New Paris, 43; John Yeatts, Lynn. 23; Omer Crowe, Centerville, 40; Arthur Mills, Lynn, 40; T. W. Druley, Boston, 75; Ora Parks, West Florence, 60; and H. J. Bietry, Camp bellstown. 36. Slump In Hog Prices Hogs were weak in all markets last week, largely because order buyers were a bit scary on account of strike conditions and the possible danger of stock being held up in transit. Speaking locally, Mr. Shurley gives his average cost on the week as $10, with light hogs selling as high as $10.50, in spots, and heavies as low as $9. Hogs slumped badly at Chicago on Saturday, and the general average price dropped to $S.95, the lowest in that market since Feb. 1. Shipping orders were light and the day finished with 5,000 left in th epens to be added to Monday's receipts in the sale rings. The downward pressure lightened the week's receipts, which were 125,000, the smallest week since April. Native beef cattle advanced, sharply last week, the general average on beef steers advanced 40 cents over the previous week, reaching $9 65. This figure was as high as any '"average price reached in 1922. Sheep and lambs were iflrm on Saturday and steady during HENRY U, JOHNSON TO ADDRESS KIWANIS Henry U. Johnson, local attorney, will address the Kiwanis club at its meeting in the K. of P. hall Tuesday noon.

The Farm and By William R. . "The next question before the house, gentlemen, is the laying in of a supply of fertilizer; this settlement to be followed by a study of the seed wheat question. Shall we buy certified seed wheat? Shall we pool our orders for wheat, each buyer to drive to the car or cars, when set out. do his own hauling and pay his own bills, just as is the rule in the handling of fertilizer. Has any one a suggestion to offer? " if von have been attending farm bu reau meetings of late, or shall attend the next meeting of your township farm bureau, you will hear the president of the association do a little talking along the line above indicated. The question of buying fertilizer and seed grain by a pooling of orders Is one of general interest just now. The state marketing association at Indian apolis has been stirring this matter up of late, and it is up to tne iarmers themselves as to the action to be At ' the meeting of Washington township farmers at Milton last Friday night it was voted that fertilizer orders be pooled, and that action as to buying certified wheat be deferred until the next meeting. They want to consider the matter further and to! give each member a chance to think it over to reach a decision as to the kind of wheat and the number of bushels he will plant Will Form Picnic Procession Washington, Harrison and Jackson townships have declared Wednesday, August 9th, a legal holiday for all farmers. This, of course, is true in all our townships, but the farmers living in the three here mentioned have agreed to all meet that morning at Pershine and to then and there iau luio ime aim ucau and a committee on stragglers will bring up the rear, to insure that no members of the party be lost in transit. There can be little doubt that we farmers and farm editors are to have one great picnic next Wednesday. It will be a get-to gether occasion, memorable and worth while. A Corn Belt in August We are of the opinion that you all will enjoy reading the following from the gifted pen of an editorial writer on the Chicago Tribune. This man has the monthly habit of writing a brief and seasonabde article on the new month. These are worth preservation in any scrap book, to be reread when in the mood. The writer headlines his article: The Commuter's Ticket. He does this from month to month, picturing u-5 all as commuters along the journey of life. This month he but no, read for yourselves: "Even delectable lands may have their supreme periods, and when America enters the corn season its distinction as a garden tops all other places of the world. When an American takes up his first ear of sweet corn, which was in a pot of hot water twenty minutes after it was stripped from the stalk, he must wonder whether after all other peoples really live. The Canadians, yes, because they have fields of the generous torn and know how to use it, but can life be complete elsewhere without it? "In this corn fed region nature seems to be conscious of a great fulfiument wnGI1 She offers the corn. Generally the heat of growing weather has been tempered. Fields have bscome soft with fox grass and mistily mellow towards the west at sundown. They have been colored with snapdragons and with early goldenrod and wild flowers peer above the thickets." A Bit of Word-Painting "The white moths which nutter in the sunlight seem to be a part of a visible, lazily waving gossamer of con tented life, and the horn of plenty, filled to the brim, drops out the roasting ears. Nothing elso so connotates richness of productivity. The amber spirits of the noble grain no longer are to intoxicate our citizenry, but the yellow heart of the corn makes the pig strong enough to lift the mortgage, and has all that is needed to make him Esau and Arcadia. "The August ticket is rimmed with gold and the collector's punch make rents in the richest tapestry of life. Change is flashing through the woods and over the fields. The song diminishes. The brown thrasher who has given the thickets their most prodigal melodies is silent. The yellow billed cuckoo calls from the oaks by day and the owl by night, but the woodthrush in the wild grapes is end be on the wing, but not swifter thanj the passage of the days to which he gave his song. The lover of Nature, in thoughtful mood, will do just as we have done: will read the Tribune writer's brief i ' essay oa August in the corn belt, and ion tne fli6bt of our days- over again - so full tt is or tnougnt ana reeling. Hundreds of Barbarries In the field quest for the cause of black stem rust in Tony Strong's wheat field the search led to the yard of an abandoned brick house on landl owned by C. M. Gilliard, fully a half mile from the Strong farm. In this yard a flourishing 10 to 12 foot barberry bush was discovered. We are told that perhaps 20 rods of barrerry bushes have been found back of Earlham cemetery, which have been or are to be destroyed, root and branch The campaign against the barberry, now being waged all over eastern Indiana, should result in freedom from

The dispatch says: "Hailstones big enough to burst watermelons wide open with a hail fall twelve inches deep In some places caused considerable crop damage in the Piedmont section of North Carolina late yesterday. Around Concord, where it beat down growing crops, a thin coating of ice was reported after daylight.

"There have been no noticeable increases in the volume of export trade. Buying by foreign nations steady. New inquiries from the continent give hope for further improvement in export trade within the next week or two. Collections as a whole are healthy, though they are being slowed up considerably in the districts affected by strikes." All Our Wheat Needed Julius H. Barnes of the BarnesAmes company, one of the leading exporters in the United States, in an interview in New York said that in his estimation the view of the grain situation taken by George E. Marcy. president of the Armour Grain company, was correct. Steady and con servative marketing of the crops ; would be of great advantage to th country and bring better returns to farmers, he says. Europe's, wheat crop is 125,000,000 to 150,000,000 bu. short of . last year3 and this deficit must be supplied. World's import needs are believed to be around 55.000,000 to 60,000.000 bu. per month. Old crops supplies in Argentina and Australia are practically exhausted and the brunt of the demand mus: be met by North America until the new southern hemisphere crops are available. When it is stated that the Mr. Barnes referred to was in charge of our wheat marketing under federav control during war days, the claim that he is pretty good authority, and knows what he is talking about, will be admitted. In a statement given out to the press recently Mr. Marcy, of the Armour Grain company, voiced similar views. "There isn't the slightest doubt that "orderly marketing of wheat" is what the farmers of this country need in their business. Fear Government Control It now appears that exporters of Canadian wheat are not disposed to make contracts for export, until they see more clearly what the Canadian wheat board that is to control the crop this year is going to do. This is true of American exporters of Canadian wheat, as well as of the grain men at Winnipeg. We are told that the drfferent provinces are to have wheat boards, and a Winnipeg paper says: "This wheat board talk, played by a lot of politicians, has cost this country a lot of money. Foreigners have been willing to buy some wheat but all dealers here are afraid to sell anything for fear of government control." Called by Death WILL MUZZY CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Aug. 7.
