GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co.i 212 Union National Bank Building) ! CHICAGO, Sept. 1. Recent sellers j of wheat received no encouragement from the foreign situation and -were free buyers today. The marKet also received some support from purchases against export sales. There was litth enthusiasm toward the buy ins side on the part of the general trade. Both Snow and Goodman have raised the estimate of spring wheat crop and the figures were made public today. The Winnipeg Free Press is expected to issue a bearish report tomorrow on Canadian yields, but this seems to have already been discounted. Corn again lead the general advance of grains as a result of continued crop complaines and reports of dry, hot weather from the west and the southwest. Heavy profit taking had only temporary effect and closing figures were practically at the day's top. The only grain delivered in quantity was on September contracts this forenoon was oats, and these were paid for by commisison houses who seemed to have them already placed. Today's market action further indicates the wisdom of the policy of buying on sharp dips. Cash wheat prices were practically unchanged. Lower premiums were set by higher futures.

JMDUSTRAL PUBLIC AIL BRITISH ARE PLACING PALESTINE IN ORDER "Modern Palestine" was the theme of the lecture celivered before a large audience at the Salvation Army headQuarters Thursday evening by Envoy E. Pauline Swartz. She emphasizeu the fact that since the advent of the British to control of the Holy land, order was being brought out of chaos and that the country generally is being cleaned up. "Jerusalem is a disappointment to most travellers," said Envoy Swartz. "Most of us reading about that faraway country and singing the church hymns of 'Jerusalem the Golden,' picture it in our mind's eye as a majestic city of gay palaces and broad straight streets. Disillusionment comes to the visitor when he finds that the city is barely a half a mile across, that it is a comparatively small place and- the streets narrow and unattractive." Reclaiming Beauty. She brought out in her lecture that the British forces are reclaiming much of the picturesqujeness of Palestine and particularly emphasized the reconstruction work on the famous Pools of Solomon near Bethlehem. Miss Swartz stated that the women of that country had been badly mistreated by the- Mohammedans and were made to become little more than beasts of burden. This is being chang ed by the British government through its educational program. Envoy Swartz will again anpear be fore the special meeting at " I Salvation Army headquarters at 8:15 o'clock Friday evening. VETERANS TO HAVE VOICE IN HOSPITALIZATION BOARD CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept 1.

WOW! THAT

rsA.p? The Farm and By William R. LUB SHOW PRIZE MONEY 1 - j The fact that about $7o0,000 13 to he paid as prize money to boys and girls making club exhibits this year, denotes ' the wonderful development of club work in the past two or three years. Nor is the amount to be awarded more astonishing than is tho diversity of. the source of the prize money. This large sum of money Is provided by fair associations, live stock and breed associations, bankers, manufacturers, packers, land companies, the farm bureau and Grange, boards of agriculture, school boards, county commissioners, seed firms, railroads, live stock exchanges and hoards of tra4e, by individuals and by the junior clubs themselves. The state fair association donate $90,000 or more to club prizes, and rank first among the big donors. The various breed associations rank second. Three of the large pure-bred cattle associations are offering $10,000 each, and other associations in ac cordance with their size and ability. Newspaper publishers are large con tributors to me premium iuuus ui; their local fairs, as also are the retailers and others. The effect ot these agricultural clubs on the development of the live stock, poultry and farming industry in general, is more widely appreciated from year to year. The farmer of the future will have many advantages over the - farmer of the earlier day, and will be better and more scientifically trained. Interesting Bee Exhibit Clayton Knight of Fountain City dropped in on us on Thursday to talk about bees, and of his plans to exhibit bees in observation hives at the Wayne county fair. He stated that Fasick and Knight, the concern in which he is a partner, have 100 or so stands of bees on their place at the northern edge of Fountain City and that he was in town to get and fill out an entry blank for the fair. As a bee enthusiast he is to show several stands in 10-frame observation hives under a tent, judging that town folk will be as greatly interested as the farmers in seeing the bees at work. This is no doubt true. In addition to strong and healthy colonies the exhibit will include "sick or diseased" colonies, notably those affected by foul brood, a most destructive bee disease, which bee keepers always dread. Both single and double hives will be displayed. Was the Biggest Buyer The sale held by A. J. Howard as administrator of the estate of the late H. H. Howard, on the Howard farm three miles northwest of Green's Fork, on Wednesday, ranks among the good ones, so far as prices paid goes. The total of the sale was a little over 2,400. Corn in the field brought $22.50 an acre; a 7-foot binder sold for $122.50 and one farm wagon, gears only, cost the buyer exactly $100. I. A. Field, now living on the James Shenk farm, south of Richmond, was the most persistent buyer, this being explained by the fact that he is to remove to the Howard place this fall. Much of the live stock . had been disposed of prior to the sale, including the cows, thus reducing the offering. The ladies of the Sugar Grove church served a mighty good lunch, which included at least one section of fried chickyen to every plate, and which all partakers voted beat the standard "weenie" ten city blocks. Weddle and Hindman were the auctioneers and cashier Steers, of the Green's Fork bank, made the settlements. The Auto and the Fairs A very few years ago it would have been impossible to have gathered the numbers of people now seen at our fairs and chautauquas, county picnics, etc. Not because trains weren't running but because the automobile hadn't arrived. And for some time after its appearance the cost was too great for the ordinary citizen to indulge, in that class of uncertain travel, when one left home with no assurance of being able to get back, unless pulled in. Now it is common for a tourist to eat breakfast in one town and to stay for the night at a point 300 or 400 miles distant, providing, an early start was made and the going good. This, then, accounts for the crowds at Dublin, at Connersville, at Greenville and other fairs, as it will account for the expected crowds which are shortly to throng Glen Miller to enjoy the displays and attractions at our fair. In these days a town or n neighbor 20 or 30 miles from your car is right next door, at least in pleasant weather. Just yesterday we noticed a car parked in front of this office which was on its way east to Massachusetts, after a trip to Yellowstone park. Inquiry developed that the owners had made a bridal tour in their car and was enroute home to set up housekeeping near Boston. A few days earner we spied a car on Main street, marked "Detroit to Seattle." The young man said his wife had relatives in Seattle and they had sold their belongings in Detroit and were on their way to the Puget Sound country, to pick out a new home. Test Wheat Yields The test made of wheat production per acre on the Alhambra and Urbana, Illinois fields by the state university, showed but three varieties yielding 40 bushels or better to the acre. Of these Black Hull was the leader with a production of 46.3; Minnesota Reliable ranking second with 43.2. Next came Turkey Hybrid 509, with 41.7 and Turkey Hybrid 514. which made 40.3 bushels. The wheats running 39 to 40 bushels were: Worlds Champion, Red Rock, Indiana Swamp, Gladden, Red Wave, Mediterranean and Michi-

the Farmer Sanborn ean Amhfr Th l VL UUUI.LIUI1 was shown at Urbana by Jones' Climax, at 30.4 bushels. At the Alhambra field both hard and soft wheats were grown. On thi3 field Elack Hull lead with 33.7 bushels to the acre, while the lowest producer in the list, Harvest Queen variety produced exactly 17 bushels. Red Top Seed Combination The Egyptian Seed Growers' Exchange Is now a going concern. It was organized to market red top seed co-operatively. When we remember that 90 per cent of the world's production of red top seed is produced in eight southern Illinois counties it is easy to see how that crop can be tied up tighter than a drum by the producers in a narrow territory. Robert N. Clark, one of the men re sponsible for the organization of the sales exchange, says that for many years red top growers have been at the mercy of the large seed dealers because they did not know the amount of seed produced each year, what the demand, had been, or the carryover from previous crops. Thus they had no idea what their seed was worth and have been in the habit of unquestingly taking whatever was offered. "Now they propose to know these facts, and to weigh, test and clean their seed and market it co-operatively." Red Top is harvested in late Jul and early August, being cut with a mower, and stacked as hay, or cut with a binder and shocked. The common thresher makes no pretence of cleaning seed to a No. 1 grade. From one fourth to oneTialf of the bulk of seed from the thresher chaff or screenings, the balance being "fancy'

Where in former years wheat and rye were the standard wnnt -ii-ith an nrr.nsinnal Enlatterine-! of barley, it is almost a certainty that American corn will quickly be one of the leading crops.
