GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank EaiMing) CHICAGO, I1L, Oct 2. Wheat ruled lower, but the bulk of the pressure came early as a result of better European news and lower cables from abroad on the dip there was a fair class of buying, induced by heavy purchases in Winnipeg and a strong tone in (he corn market. Some export business was worked, but it was largely in Manitobas. A little activity was also noticed at the gulf. Eastern congestion however is against the working of any business at present Crop reports by Snow and Goodman were regarded as bullish on corn and induced considerable Jocal buying. Traders were disposed to take profit on the rallies, however, which brought about moderate reactions. The Turks and the British will meet tomorrow to arrange armistice terms, and it is believed hostilities will be averted.

Peace, however, will bring just as ood a demand for grain, but lire purchases will probably be made in "a more order ly manner. Good trading markets are (indicated and the usual winter aaf vances are likely to follow later. RANGE OF FUTURES ! (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co, 1212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Oct 2.

SUTHERLAND (Continued from Page One.) of the court, who submitted to a sen ous surgical operation last summer, was present for the convening of the term having eturned in restored health and declared himself ready for the exacting duties of a crowded docket. Justice Day nominated by the president to act as umpire in the settlement of German debts, and whose retirement from the bench had been rumored, was prepared to continued his judicial duties, giving no outward indication of an intention to lay them down in the near future. Adhering to the time honored practice of quickly terminating its session to permit a formal call by the court at the White House to pay its respects to the president the program of business for the opening session included the delivery of no opinions or entries of orders, being confined only to the usual acceptance of motions for admission of attorneys to practice. Formal Ceremony The president set aside the hour of 1 o'clock to receive the court. On such occasions by long established custom the chief justice and the assistant justices upon reaching the White House are conducted to the blue room where in advance of the coming of the president they arrange themselves in line in the form of a horseshoe, the assist ant justices, with the chief justice at their head arranging themselves m the order of their seniority in service upon the bench. Formality marks the president's entrance and his greeting of each member of the court as he proceeds down the line from the chief justice, ex changing a handshake with each. Then standing at the mouth of the horseshoe the president lays aside for mality and cordially engages in verbal exchanges, the visit ending in 15 or 20 minutes by the president withdrawing." Hearing of cases will begin in the court on Tuesday but there will be no opinions or orders from the court until the following Monday.

The Farm and By William R. TRADING WITH EUROPE Speaking with regard to the threat of another war in Europe which may involve Great. Britain, Henry A. Wallace, brother of the secretary of agriculture, writes: "While we believe that the chances are three to one that nothing very serious in its immediate effect on the United States will come out of the present disturbance, nevertheless every upset of this sort postpones the return of a normal Euro pean market for our crops." The writer thus reasons upon the desirability of this country ceasing to trade with Europe and goes on to say: "Europe is so continually in turmoil that we can not help but incline to the opinion that it is the part of wisdom for the United States gradually to cease trading with her. She can no longer pay us cost of production for our surplus food, and every new war makes it less likely that she will ever be able to do so. The international debt situation and the high American tariff both make the continued ex nortation of food to Europe difficult. and new war extravagances will tend to make food exports impossible, ex cept as a charitable proposition." The average farmer, and surely every exporter, will view with alarm any tendency to diminish our exports of grain and meats about which the government furnishes so many statistics. No man liveth to himself alone, and in these modern days of intertrade and world broad inter-communication no country can afford to stani aloof from any other nation. This withdrawing our crops from European buyers, gradually or otherwise, won't work. Buv Pure-Breds Now The advantage shown in the raisin? of pure-bred stock over the same expense and labor devoted to mixed and scrubby lots, is so clearly apparent that the wonder grows that any farmer whatsoever can refrain from trying to not merely increase but to better his herds. The story of the effects of using pure-bred sires has been told so often and so truthfully in regard to the improvement of cattle strains that it everywhere is accepted at face value. This is not only true as to cattle as milkers, or for beef, but also as to all classes of live stock, and even fowls. Never within our recollection have buvers been favored with such oppor tunities to buy tne nest classes ui breeding animals for so little money. Needless now to go far afield to secure what you need. Perhaps your next door neighbor can supply you, or sure ly there is a breeder within easy distance who can. We are reminded of this by a review of our farm sale calendar thus far this fall and of the announcements of sales to come, for the breeder as well as the farmer tells his story in that calendar and in our advertising pages. Scan these adds with care, it will pay you to do so. A Great Shorthorn Sale The Union District Shorthorn Breeders' association will put on their thirl annual sale in Liberty on Thursday, October 12. There will be 40 head of high class Scotch or Scotch toppea animals in the sale ring, of which 10 will be . males which are their owu best reference. These cattle are consigned by 16 well known breeders who are members of the association. Ralph Druley, secretary, will be glad to fur nish you a catalog and may fee aa dressed at Kitchell, Union county. But keen your eye on our sale cal endar from day to day. You, will find mention of coming farm and breeders' sales risiht along through the season. Also watch the adds covering this field all through the season, which will extend into the winter. From a Farmer's Wife Mrs. Mary Francis Long, of Evansville, has written a letter to Capper? Weekly, in which she discusses the troubles of the farmer. She says she understands that the senator is truly and deeply interested in the real farmer, and she writes to plead with him "to do all he can to give us the aid we are so much needing." In continuing she says: "I believe every far mer in southern Indiana is in desperate need, since he has not made exDenses for three years." In citing their own case she says: "Our own case is one of a thousand. We live on one of the finest farms in the state. We cannot rent it for ev -; enough to pay taxes and the real estate agents tell us they have long ago ceased to deal in farm land. Our land is valued for taxes for more than we could eell it prov'ded we could find a purchaser. Our men are leaving the farms not to make more money but for a livlihood. To quote our governor, who farms heavily, "The farmer is taking one-third of the war prices for his products and is paying about twothirds of war prices for everything he has to buy." "Senator Capper has already lifted his voice in the farmer's behalf, and I beg of him to keep it up until something can be done. If we were onlv allowed to put a living price on our products! In every other line of business the producer is allowed to charge many times its worth if that producer is so disposed. We put in twice as many hours and no other people skimp and sacrifice as we do." The author of the above letter paints a rather gloomy picture and Fhould conditions be as described we fear that Senator Capper can do mighty little to remedy them.

prints an interesting article under the caption "The Vanishine Wethpr" which we reprint, showing as it does the changing conditions affecting our mutton trade. The effect of the change also has its bearing on the production of American wooL though in a !mauer aegree than on our export trade in mutton and in live sheep. Says the writer: "A Chicago commission house was advised last week of a consignment of 12 carloads of aged wethers from Miles City, Mont A full carload of wethers- has been a novelty at the market all through the season, and, in apprehension of a glut, the commission man sought an outleL Killers assured him that it would be possible to absorb a carload daily, but advised him to order them in from the feedlot slowly. "This was on a market that less than 20 years ago absorbed 50,000 iviuuia.ua werners weeKiy witnout "in digestion." The aged wether is a vanishing specimen of the sheep spe cies, recalling the period in the early '90's when the Montana product was rea by the hundred thousand round St. Paul, Minn., every season. They went to Chicago by the trainload, weighing 130 to 150 pounds, exporters taking the bulk, and the heavier they were the better they liked them. At present, killers want sheep weighing 110 to 120 pounds, and balk when they aie neavier. "In the period of sheep plentitude $3.75 per cwt. was a common price in Chicago, and it represented a feed bill, as grassers were not adapted to export trade. Doud & Keefer, Rae Bros., and John Long names now al most forgotten in trade circles were tnc exporters of that period. Even- at the prices then current, they frequently lost heavily on the turn-over in Liverpool. "Never again will this country produce heavy wethers. The little mut ton seller s need can be secured from a moderate but nevertheless abundant supply of fat ewes. American consum ers are not partial to mutton." Fertilizes His Fruit "I have found spraying and fertiliza tion to be the most important factors in fruit growing," says Robert Ander son, a successful orchardist of Covert. Mich. "Without spraying, you might as wen give up, for no other practices win make up for spraying. After spraying comes fertilizers. You must feed the trees if you want big crons A lot of orchards don't pay because they are half starved." "How about Pruning?" was a Ques tion put to Mr. Anderson. "Isn't that one of the most important factors?" I don t want to minimize pruning." was the answer, "but I feel that it is often overdone in the effort to make up for the ommission in other prac tices. The success of pruning Is not measured by the amount of wood you remove, but the amount you properly leave. I can illustrate this by the fraction, six over two, in which six represents the trees and branches and two the productive power of the soil. Its no use to have more wood than the soil will support to produce good fruit, so you take four away from six by pruning, and you have the frac tion two over two. But another way is to add four to the two below by fer tilizing, and you have six over six more fruit because you have the wood and the plantfood to make the fruiL That's the system I practise." Mr. Anderson has a 16 acre peach orchard on which he has applied 375 pounds of ammonium sulfate and 400 pounds of acid prosphate or bone meal per acre for the last three years. Also in 1921 he applied in addition 500 pounds of 10-10 fertilizer per acre (10 per cent phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash). Rye is seeded each fall and plowed under in the spring, by which system the organic matter in the soil is increased. McAdoo Joins Bureau. William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury and railroad administrator, is now a member of the farm bureau, having joined last week at Elko, Nev. Mr. McAdoo announced himself as thoroughly in sympathy with the purposes of the organization, when he paid his five dollars membership fee. TURKISH (Continued from Page One.) furnished the Kemalists with a pretext for accusing the British of ignoring their pledges regarding the non-use of neutral waters by the Greeks. May Last Several Days It is expected the conference may drag for several days as the Kemalists doubtless will bargain and haggle over every point. It is felt that the moderating influence of the Italian generals will be an important factor in bringing the meeting to a succes iul conclusion. The British declare they will insist upon occupying th Asiatic banks of th straits, even at the peril of failure of the conference. Thy may also contest the immediate withdrawal of the Greeks from Thrace. Making this conditional upon acceptance of the allied peace proposals. The liab ility of the straits will be stoutly de fended. The scheme for the building of the submarine tunnel between England and France is now encountering a new discouragement in the extensive and constantly growing airplane traffic between the two countries.

GERMAN (Continued from Page One.) operated at a huge deficit each year, said Capt. Clark. Nothing is as cheap in Germany a3 travel. The deficit, he said, is made up by the state, which secures enor mous amounts of money each year through taxation. Although Germany has no income tax, the government has a wage tax which requires that each man give 10 per cent of hi3' wages to the government to aid. in paying off the foreign debt an$ 3V indemnities. It is CapL Scott's CVV lief that the people of Germany are in favor of paying the indemnities and are uncomplaining. Capt. Scott stated that Germansgenerally, are reticent in regard to the war. They have nothing to say ana, are ashamed of this part of their national history. They unite in blaming the kaiser for the international catastrophe. No Definite Policy. In regard to the present German, government, Capt. Scott stated that there is no German government. He stated that there are now 32 separate, political parties in Germany, three of. which dominate the central governing1: body. These three leading political! parties are so antagonistic toward each other that it is impossible for the government to establish a definite, policy on any question. f Farm Sale Calendar Tuesday, October 3 Jerry Meyers and Son, one-half mila east of Hagerstown.
