GRAIN PRICES (Ml;!; Is by E. F. LelanS & Coronany. 212 Union Nitional Bans SuiMing) CHICAGO. 111., Aug. 14. WheatAll deliveries of wheat sold at new lows of the season. Developments in Europe, the lower Liverpool markets holiday on the Centenial Exchange tended to restrict export business although sales of a half million bushels of wheat were reported late. September lead the decline and at the inside figures showed about three cents undr the close Saturday. At one time September sold at about one cent over the December and later at nearly one cent under with persistent selling of the September against purchases of the May. Lack of support was pronounced at times. Cash markets much lower. There was a little rally from the low near the close but the tone remained weak. Corn was comparatively firm, considering the weakness in other grains and with short covering averaged higher early, but all of the advance was not maintained except in the May. There wa3 dry weather talk from parts of Illinois and Nebraska and it appeartd to be on the increase with official reports showing detroitation in Illinois. Exporters were after cash corn here while between 100,000 and 400,000 was reported taken at the seaboard. Country offerings and movement light. Oats All deliveries of oats sold at new lows on the crop and the market was weak from the state, with the close at a fraction at advance from the low. Cash market fairly steady.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

THE WAYNE COUNTY FAIR The farmers of Wayne county are to told a fair in Glen Miller park in September. The business men and citizens generally are planning to co-operate in every possible manner. The park has been cheerfully donated for the occasion, plenty of space assigned, arid a tented city of exhibits will be in sight when the Wayne county agricultural community displays samples o its rural wealth to all comers. The tentative dates are Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, Sept. 13, 14 and la. While these dates are not yet surely 'arranged they are the dates under consideration and recommended. The time is short and it is none too early for farmers and live stock breeders to begin planning for their exhibits. This is to be a getting together of country folk and city folk, who are to vitally interested in each other and who need to work in friendship and harmony for the common welfare at all times. Wayne county can and will make a rich exhibit of its fruits, grains, grasses and live stock at the coming fair and every farmer is urged to make a timely display of his choicest products in which we all take great interest. Wednesday, August 16, is the lucky day; Union county, the district, and Bertsch's grove near Liberty the very place where the merrymaking will proceed. Who is to make merry, sez you? Well, first of all the farmers for this is a farm bureau picnic, with all the trimmings. Next we might mention all their friends, which includes everybody in Union county who cares to bring a basket and sit There are a!1 klnds of davs on the 'calendar, and the latest on the list I p- Union county is "soy bean day". ine day is to oe oDservea on tne tarm of John Snyder, just south of Clifton Mr. Snyder is a soy enthusiast, and has 20 acres planted with this legume, in many varieties. A certain part of the field is planted in rows, to contrast the various kinds, and Union county farmers are invited to visit his farm and inspect his growing soy seed crop, on Wednesday, August 23. There can be little doubt that soy beans are attracting more attention, generally, or that the acreage is being increased all over the corn belt.

The Profitable Farm For seven years farms in central Indiana that were doing a well balanced farm business paid for the operators labor nine times as much as those that were doing an unbalanced business. This statement was made by W. V. Kell, of the farm management extension staff of Purdue university. In Clinton county complete farm business records were gotten on 100 farms for a period of seven years from which a study of the success of the different systems was made. It was found that the profits or farmers salary, depended on five factors. First, and one of the most important was the size of business he was conducting. In order to utilize man, horse and machinery labor efficiently, cut down on the building charge per acrs, and avoid a big overhead cost, he must have a fairly big volume of business. On the average the two-man size farm affords this volume. The ten most profitable farms in this area had 195 acres in crops as compared to 86 in the ten most profitable farms. Second, the number of animal units or amount of productive livestock that is kept is a factory in farm profits. Livestock provides for a greater number of days of profitable labor, good crop yields and a direct profit. The most profitable farms had. 45 animal

Another factor is the quality of the farm business as measured by the livestock returns per animal unit or the livestock receipts per $100 worth or ieed consumed. One group of ten! idrms received 42 per cent greater returns on livestock than another group of the same number doing a poor quality of business. The other factors are crop yields and labor efficiency. The most profitable farms were re ceiving yields 12 per cent above the average while the poorest were getting crop yields 8 per cent below the average for the community. American Farmer Produces Most In statistics recently published by the United States Department of Agri cultura it was shown that the highest yields of crops obtained in Europe were in Belgium. The yields of crops per acre in Belgium were approximately two times the yield per acre in United States as a whole. But the production of crops per man in tho United States was approximately two times the production per man in Belgium; five times that in Italy and two times that in the United Kingdom and France. Human brings are the nations greatest natural resource. It is just as important to conserve la LU113CI TO I d." bor as it is to conserve land, forests or any other natural resource. The wealth of a nation is largely measured in terms of the production of a days' labor. Milk Goats Sell High In reporting a sale at auction of a bunch of imported milking goats, in Wisconsin recently, the Prairie Farm er tells us that goats milk is richer j than cows milk, which is a well known fact. But think of 69 goats bringing! aif average price of $350 per head, i Th. irrit.r .mo tr, Bflv -Tho -hif ' value of goat's milk is due to the fact that goats never have tuberculo sis, that dread disease which ruins so many dairy herds and which is so dangerous to human beings. It is hardly probable that we shall substitute goats for cows as the source of our milk supply. It Eeems much more likely that scientists will discover what makes goats immune to tuberI culosis, and will develop a strain of cows that will also be immune. Certified Seed Potatoes One farmer in Boon township, Warrick county, bought ten bushels of certified seed potatoes from the farm bureau car load, which he treated with ' formaldehyde and planted. He found that he did not have enough sed to plant the field so he purchased a peck of grocery store seed to finish it out. i l His seed he planted witnout treating. of ground produced a third more potatoes of which practically all were marketable while the uncertreated seed produced practically all unmarketable potatoes. Other farmers are getting similar results, County Agent H. R. Holcomb reports. The outlook is for a comparatively light crop of onions in Indiana this year' Plantings cover 4,500 acres, which is 600 acres in excess of the acreage planted in 1921, but stands are thin in some sections. Whitel7, county leads with 970 acres, Noble coming next with 650. The boy or girl who wins the first prize in the potato competition at tho Indiana state fair will be designated state potato champion. The youngsters have tended so many potato gardens this summer that a surprisingly large exhibit in the club classes, or by individuals, is expected. What Dean Mumford Said "It is perfectly clear, from the re sults of all investigations on soil improvement, that the application of l commercial fertilizer is one step toward a more profitable agriculture. In many cases it is the first step. The permanence, however, of the industry: depends upon close alliance with the! investigators who are solving the Farm Sale Calendar Thursday, Aug.. 17 Executor's sale, on the farm of the late Joseph Brower, located ust north of Boston on the Richmond and Bos-j ton pike.

RHT AFTER THE bHow: OHIO WHEAT MAKES 15 BUSHELS TO ACRE; CORN NEEDING RAIN COLUMBUS, Ohio.. Aug. 14. Corn conditions in Ohio at this time are a little below the average for the last 10 years, and a good crop depends largely on the rainfall during the next few weeks . This is especially true in the northern and central parts of the state, where corn still shows the effect of late planting. The Ohio production of corn probably will be from 150,000.000 to 155.000,000 bushels, which is about the same as last year. The United States prospects now stand at about the same point as a year ago and indicate a crop around 3,000,000,000 bushels. Returns from several thousand farms in the state show that the average threshing yield of wheat is about 15 bushels per acre. This is a marked decline from the indications earlier in the season and gives a total production of about 35.000,000 bushels. The yield last year was 12.5 bushels per acre and the ten year average is 16.5 bushels. Oats Supply Drops. Farm stocks of oats carried over from last year amount to 73,000.000 bushels for all the country, which is less than half the amount a year ago. The estimated United States oats crop is 1,250,000,000 bushels, or about 200,000,000 bushels more than last year. The prospects In Ohio are for a decidedly better crop than last year, but even at that the crop will be below the average, with indication of a crop of from 45,000,000 to 50,000.000 bushels. Tobacco Shows a Decline. The slate average condition of tobacco now stands at 78, which is a de. cline of seven points from a month ago Soy bean acreage has increased from 10 to 15 per cent and condition of the plants is good. The hay crop has increased by 7 per cent in acreage and will show a 20 per cent increase in total yield. The average tonnage is 1.45 per acre. Clover hay acreage is 10 to 15 per cent larger and average yield is 1.5 tons. Pasture is better than average in condition. Berries and vegetables are in good and sugar bets in fair condition.
