The Farm and the Farmer By William Ft. Sanborn

FAIR OPENS WEDNESDAY It had been expected from the first that as soon as announcement of the fact that we were to put on a fair, and the dates were Bet. had reached the farmers, there would be a hurried inspection of live stock for the best selections and a rush for space. But it was not expected that more room would - be required than had been planned for, or that there would be such a pressure for space at the last minute. Of course a park filled with live stock alone would not make a well a well balanced fair, but the raising of

live stock is a great business and as

a drawing card comes first in every

agricultural show.

Live stack exhibits stand for so much money and are so intrinsically

valuable in themselves, and are so im

portant in the scheme of things, that

a fair lacking a liberal display of cartie, hogs, sheep and horses, would hardly be voted a success, regardless

of all other attractions. The grains and grasses, the Iruits and vegetables and the tempting displays of pre

serves. Jellies and samples of the

culinary art, are all attractive and all are important, of course, and are part of a well organized -state or coun ty agricultural exhibit. These and a hundred other things give, character to the great ensemble which we call a "fair." They form a part or parts which cannot be spared and which have their appeal to the hoets who come to view. Can't afford to Miss It.. And it is a satisfaction to know that there will be this kind of a balancing of affairs at the show which opens in Glen Miller Park on Wednesday morning. In addition to the numerous and varried lines of entries will be all the concommitants which make such gatherings bo attractive. There will be music gocd music with concerts mornings, afternoons and evenings. There will be various interesting and clean conceslons, refreshment booths, dancing, etc. There wil be crowas, or course, peo pie from near and far as auto travel

now measures distance. As there will

he displays from several counties, just

so will there be visitors, to each of

whom will be extended cordial greet

ings by the committees in charge and

by the people of Richmond. Hatfield, the Rainmaker.

Hatfield, the American rainmaker, who earned so much money by breaking the Canadian drouth last summer, and who also collected cash on the advent of several rainstorms in the northwest, is now in Italy. Did he make it rain on sun-parched Italian fields. We don't know? But this we do know, that after his operations a drouth lasting four months was broken

with copious rains in southern Italy, and that be is now looked upon as one of the greatest men in that country. So true is this that the Italians are clamoring for the government to buy his secret. Hatfield was sent for by the government and shortly after his operations wells and cisterns were filled and the streams ran bank full. We recall printing a similar report of what he supposedly accomplished on the burning fields of western Canada in 1921. We also remember that the Canadian government was a bit shy of the Hatfield enterprise and that the general public raised a large fund to bring the rainmaker west and north from the Dakotas. They agreed that

nothing less than a two-Inch rain should count and got as much as six

inches . within a week of hia arrival

in Alberta.

Now that we are coming to the end

of the tariff fight in congress we are

able to report on a few items which

more particularly affect the farmer.

First, as to wool: The duty on raw wool has . been made 31 cents per

'pound of clean content, a slight re

duction from 33 cents in the senate bill, which the farmers strongly supported. The house rate was 25 cents.

The wool growers claim that the new rate will be less than the emergency

tariff rates of 15 cents on wool in

the grease, 30 cents on washed wool

and 45, cents on scoured wool. The duty in the Payne-Aldrich law was 11 cents in the grease, 22 cents on washed wool and 33 cents on scoured wooL Because of the cut in wool rates there has been a slight reduction In compensatory duties. As a general proposition the protection . accorded woolen manufacturers will be slightly

less than the Payne-Aldrich law.

The duties on farm products have been made high enough to satisfy the senators of the western agricultural tariff bloc. In most cases the senate rates, which are higher than the house rates, have been approved. The duty on wheat has been made 30 cents per bushel as in the senate bill instead of 25 cents as in the house bill. . The Payne-Aldrich rate was 25 cents, but the present emergency tariff rate is 35 cents. Duties Higher than Ever The duties on live stock, meats and poultry are higher than ever before. The farm interests were obliged to accept a reduction from the senate rates Dn vegetable oils. .As to the final agreement on potash, a material on which farmers have made such a strenuous fight, we are unable to give the answer. One report hi Washington is that the house duties apply during the next five years, after which potash was to go cn the free list, have been restored. This may or may not be the fact, but it is certain that the farm leaders mak

ing the fight for free potash have

been encouraged to believe that potash was to go on the free list. A Fine Egg Record

A pen of five hens produced 756

eggs in eight months, an average of

151 eggs for each hen according to

the score card in the Illinois state egg laying contest. Many of the 850 pullets in the contest, are expected to

reach the 200 mark, and some to ex ceed it. Because of an invasion of grass

hoppers this summer a Nebraska farmer bought 500 hens, divided them

into lots of 100, put them in movable

colony houses and located them where they could do the most good. He now declares the chickens did more good n the 80 infested acres than did the

poison first tried He is stocking 1,000

chickens as insurance againsi grasshoppers next year. Hogs made ah $8 average at Chicago last week, . against $8.10 one week

earlier' and $7.90 in the same week last year. During the first week in

September, 1918, the average price of

hogs at Chicago was $16.40 per cwt

Receipts of hogs were the second

smallest- of the year but were about

6.000 heavier than a year ago and

more than 11.000 head over the 10

year average.

Fancy beeves were quotable at

$11.25 last Saturday, on a party with Saturday, September 2, prices, while

poorer grades figured a decline of 10c

to 25c on the week. Hints to Beekeepers

Every other year is often enough to

replace good queens, according to t

B. Paddock, state apiarist at the Iowa

state college. He advises the placing

of new queens in the hives at least six

weeks before the first frost. Summer bees sometimes fail to pull through

the winter, and the new brood of fall

bees are the only active workers in

the sping. For this reason the introduction of a good, healthy queen is

essential at this time of year.

Poultry at Dairy Show.

Poultry fanciers have decided to

hold a national poultry show in con

nection with the national dairy show

fanciers consider it good policy to hold their annual rallies together.

George W. Hackett, manager of the

poultry show, says there will be 3.000 or more chickens on view and that the

premiums offered will attract the best

birds in the country. Agitation for

the big double header has been going on for a year and the decision was

reached after several conferences..

Among its other distinctions, Sacra

mento county, cal., claims to produce

the largest spinach crop in the United

States. The 1.500 acres devoted to spinach brought a return to the growers this year of $150 an acre.

Wet Issue Absent

In Kansas Election (By Associated Press)

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept.- 12. Complete absence of the wet and dry

issue marks the coming election in

Kansas, not one candidate having injected the question into the dry's

stronghold. Statements from a number of congressional and state candidates indicated they were ignoring the issue in their campaigns because they did not consider it existed in any of the state or district contests.

Trapper. Wins Friendship Of Moose With Violin (By Associated Press) DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 12. The tale of a strange friendship between a lonely trapper and a large bull moose, through the common language of

music, has been brought back from

the Stony river territory in Northern

Minnesota by Thromas Denley, chief

forest ranger of that district. Thirty-

five miles from the nearest human habitation in the heart of the remot Stony river ristrict lives Charley La-

nie in a trapper's cabin, Denley relates, Besides being one of the most successful trappers in the Minnesota

wilderness, Lenine has ability with a
