GttALN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 18. A phemonial advance in wheat prices resulted from the over Sunday news from abroad. Liverpool opening was rather deceptive but exporters were big buyers in Chicago and in Winnipeg especially in the latter, where prices all day led ours. The full advance was not held, but the close was firm de spite liberal profit taking whether or not the allies are obliged to make war upon Turkey, we believe wheat and all other grains are worth more than prices for which they have been selling during the last few months. Corn and oats were not as strong as wheat because they have been relatively firmer for some weeks. The elements of strength are still present, however, in stock pries and in the government figure which show hogs on farms Sept. 1, 60.500,000 compared with about 56,000,000 one year ago and two years ago.

The Farm and By William R. The Wayne fair having been favored with ideal, sunny September weather, which added greatly to the enjoyment of its many interesting features and attractions, will long remain a pleas ant memory. "To me, the fair wqs a regular surprise party," said a lady who had come fifty miles to see what Wayne county had to offer, on such short notice and after such brief time for preparation. "It was such a beautiful morning, and I wanted a nice drive anyway, so said to Tom at breakfast: this is the big day at Richmond; let's hurry things a bit, get an early start and take lunch at the fair. Don't worry about getting things ready for silo filling, Tom, that kind of a job will keep, and the corn won't blow away. Well, Tom reluctantly agreed' and they were soon on their way. We met them at the dining tent where the ladies of the two Whitewater churches, were as busy as bees in clover, serving a lot of good things to eat for mighty little money But few words were exchanged and they were gone before we recalled that we hadn't learned just where they lived or who they were. Tom said he had laid in a sup ply of cigars and gas at Winchester, on their way down, so they were from the north, at least. It is generally conceded that the show was a pleasant surprise to all comers, also, and in a large measure, to the men who planned and worked the hardest to put it over. The number and class of the exhibits as well as the ever present throngs, were a revelation as to what can be done here at home by friendly, earnest cooperative effort. But the fair season didn't close in this vicinity with the Richmond show. Remember the Preble county fair at Eaton is yet "to come, also that the Boosters' club at Lynn are preparing to get there first by staging a great home-coming fall festival and pageant on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Preble County Fair The Preble county fair at Eaton will open wide its gates on Monday morning, September 25, for a five day run, thus allowing Saturday for the removal of livestock back to the farms. The management promises to put on the best show in years, which is saying a lot, as everybody knows that you can expect a real show when you visit the fair at Eaton. J. L. Haston, suerintendent of the speed ring and races, says there are to be some top-notch horses on the ground and that there are three big trotting and pacing races on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday afternoons. The three year-old pace or trot open, mile heats, best in two, will be run on Tuesday afternoon; purse $200. The gentleman's road race,' half mile heats, three in five, for a $100 purse, will also be pulled off on Tuesday, to be fol lowed by the mule saddle race for $50, divided into three parts of $25, $15 and $10. The pace and trot purses are $300 each and nine races are to be run during the three racing event days. Returning to the Home-Coming at Lynn, the promotors tell us that all past efforts are to be surpassed this year with a bigger and better show. The program includes live stock and poultry shows, band concerts, two stunning night pageants with decorated floats, balloon assensions with parachute drops, baseball, et cetera. The program runs for two days, September 20-21. Big Profit Bran The Beacon-News, of Aurora, Illinois, discourses thusly about profits on bran in small packages. Senator Capper tells about a certain make of brand which wholesales at $23 per ton and costs consumer $500 a ton when it reaches them in package form. "There is only one real problem in economies. That problem is shorten ing the gap between producer and con sumer. The gap, however, continually widens. How freight rates may be practically prohibitive is shown by the plight of the grain growers in Montana. At Great Falls, for example, dealers are paying 90 cents for wheat less 40 cents per bushel to Duluth, their best market. And here is another Instance: Because of prohibitive freight rates on apples from Seattle to eastern cities, the Chamber of Commerce announces that about 1 million boxes of apples will be shipped by water and through the Panama canal to east coast cities this fall and winter. Might be True, at That When we find a good story afloat which interests farmers we turn it loose for their benefit. This one isn't vouched for as exactly true, but might be at that, depending on the conscience of the city butcher. It runs like this A farmer drove up to a meat market. hauled out of his wagon a dressed pig and laborously lugged it into the shop "How much are you paying for pork?" he asked. "Fourteen cents a pound," replied the proprietor. au right said the farmer, "you can have the pig. Now just cut me a good ham from it, will you?" The butcher cut off the ham, wrapp ea it up, weighed it and shoved it across the counter. Then he finajly took his pencil and began to figure. When he glanced up, the farmer said. impatiently: How do we stand, anyhow?" "Well." said the butcher, "as 1 reckon it you owe me about 3 cents!" South-American Beef A New Yorker is responsible for the statement that Argentina beef can be sold on the American market for 12

IF WE TOOK.

eOiST THE. VOULO next Nam CORNED 6 AND CABBAGE the Farmer Sanborn cents a pound, with a good profit to the dealer. This man, who has lately returned from that country, says they are killing cattle for their hides in Argentine and that the best beef is selling at 7 cents a pound. He says that ordinary cows sell for $2 and sheep for $1 per head in our money. In an earlier day the cattle raised on the pampas of Buenos Aires were grown almost altogether for their hides, but that has not been true for some years. Such cattle lived 'on the range and in the open all the time. Of late years American and English capitalists have made large investments in packing and refrigeration plants in the Argentines and a lot of beef and mutton is now exported. But regard less of this it should be clearly evident that, so far as live stock growers are concerned, we need a tariff to offset above conditions. ' As to the cost of leather and footwear on account of the tariff on hides, that is entirely another maiier. F. U. Live Stock Sales. In order to comply with the packer and stock yards act the Farmers Union live stock commission firms, with offices at Omaha, Sioux City and St Joseph, is opening up its membershin to all farmers in any territory tribu tary 10 men- different markets. They are asking every farmer who shins to the Farmers' Union firms, or who expects to ship to them, to take out a membership in order that he may Miare in inc patronage dividends of tne company. One membershin will entitle the farmer to the benefit of all three agencies. In case the applicant is already a member of anv statewid'3 farmers' organization, it will not be necessary to send a fee. If he is not a member of any such organization, a iee or one dollar will be required. tne live stock shipping associations are required to send a fee of two dollars with their application, and must not extend the benefits of these marloeting agencies to any of the members who are not members in good standing of some statewide association. If any of the members do not belong to a statewide association, it will be necessary for the shipping association to forward a membership fee of one dollar for each of theso men. This regulation will make it possible for the Farmers' Union to continue refunding profits to shippers in patronage dividends. About Hull-less Oats. Corn belt hog raisers have Iojj.3 hoped for the development of a high yielding variety of hull-less oats. That such a product may ultimately be developed is evidenced by the oatbreeding work at the Canadian experiment farms, at Ottawa. The hull-less oats were produced by crossing Swed ish select with Chinese Naked variety, hull-less, but low-yielding. The huli-less crop, known as Liberty, Ottawa 4S0, has been grown in comparison with other varieties for several years. In many instances, the new variety of oats has yielded as much actual feed per acre as the better hulled varieties, producing 35 bushels per acre, which contain as much feed value as 50 bushels of ordinary oats. .The success of this Canadian variety makes it appear probable that a desirable hull-less variety may be developed for the corn belt. Such a grain would be highly valuable in feeding growing young stock, espe cially pigs. Hog men recognize that the principal drawback to the use of oats is the high fiber content. A variety of oats without the fibrous hull and with the ability to produce as much feed per acre, wrould be a boon to the farmer who develops breeding hogs.

A. LATER WEATHER. I LL. OO THE THNKlNi FOR TrtV . NICER I TREATING OF WHEAT TO ELIMINATE SMUT TO START THIS WEEK The fall campaign of hot water treatment of wheat seed for elimination of smut infection is expected to start this week, reports County Agent Dolan, who will have supervision of the plant, which is located at Centervflle. The treatment, which is calculated to eliminate a disease which last year was estimated to have caused a loss of 10 per cent of the wheat in Wayne county, is conducted by means of a special plant owned by the farm bureau. .Wheat is first soaked for five hours, and then plunged into hot water kept at a temperature of 129 degrees, with an allowable variation of only a few degres either way. The wheat is ' submerged for 10 minutes and thea spread out to dry. The smut spores are killed by the heat Benefits Are Shown Over 600 bushels were treated for 75 farmers last fall, and fields sown with the seed showed absolute free dom from disease in 75 per cent of the cases this year, and in the other instances, had only a slight trace of smut Farmers who have requested treatment ' this year, will be notified by telephone when to deliver their wheat Mr. Dolan stated. Preference will be given, in the farm bureau plant to treatment of seed for groups of fanners who will sow together in one field and thus keep the seed as free as possible from re-infection. A limited number of farmers who wish treatment for wheat can still be accomodated if they will notify the office at once. HARVESTING OF CORN STARTED IN PREBLE AND WAYNE COUNTIES Corn harvest has begun in Prebl3 and Wayne counties, many silo filling rings being busy, with a few already finished. Some sections have started cutting corn also and it is expected that fields in which wheat is to be sown will soon be cleared and the corn shocked. In corn cutting, some difficulty is being experienced in sections visited by the late summer or fall storms due to the condition in which they left the stalks. Stalks were so badly twisted that it may be impossible to use a corn binder, reported Paul Bertsch. of western Wayne. Sections about Web ster, in southern Boston township and in Jackson township of Preble county, also have fields in which corn is leaning badly where it may be necessary to cut by hand. Predictions of a record breaking yield are heard on all sides. Farmers state that corn is in better shape and shows a probable heavier yield, than for many years. Yields of 75 bushels an acre are frequently predicted for western Wayne county, with still heavier yields for some exceptional farms, while even the poorest land is expected to come above the 40-bushel yeld this year. Corn also is of a fine quality. FEEDING PLAN BRINGS BIG GULLING RESULT HAGERSTOWN. Ind., Sept. 18. "This is one of the best, flocks I hava culled," stated J. L. Dolan, county; agent, after conducting a poultry culling demonstration with the flock of Charles Goodson east of this city, Saturday. A crowd of about 30 farmers witnessed the demonstration. In the flock of 119 Ancona hens, only 11 were found that were not producers, an unusually small number, while 35 were outstanding, having laid all summer and still being at work.. Mr. Goodson's flock is averaging 75 eggs a day even this late in the season. After asking the flock owner for a report on his method of treatment Mr. Dolan credited the feeding plan witlv the results achieved. Mr. Goodson has been feeding a masluof wheat middlings, tankage and a commercial feed, keeping this mixture before the flock continually, and in addition has been feeding some grain. Eggs are shipped to eastern markets and a price of 45 cents was received for the last consignment. More talc and soapstones are produced by the United States than any other country, but our consumption is far behind our production. NEW TIMOTHY SEED Pine Tree Brand, S3.75 bushel OMERG.
