GUAIH PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., !212 Union National Banfe Building) CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. 3 All grains were strong and higher, corn being the leader. Wheat was helped by a moderate advance in Liverpool, strength ,in Winnipeg despite large receipts and Teports of a better domestic demand for both -wheat and flour. While export news -was somewhat conflicting, 'sales of 200,000 bushels Manitobas were confirmed and it is the belief that almost daily more -wheat is being worked than reported. Goodman estimated the Canadian crop at 410 million bushels -while Broomhall predicted world's imperil needs at 704 mil,liam bushels and the world's surplu at 800 million bushels. Complaint ot , dry weather and delayed seeding continue to come from sections of the winter wheat belt. Corn was strong on light receipts a good export demand and a heavy indicated farm consumption this winter. December oats gained on the Way, the difference now being less than one cent per bushel. Trade in oats, as well as in corn, shows a much broader tendency. Trade in pro- - visions was dull and confined largely to lard. The market was easier with hogs.

aEE. THE. CH Ee ) y 00 roo 1 COT ; L him? REQUEST HAGERSTOWN BE RESTRAINED FROM PLANT INTERFERENCE A new development in the dispute over the contract for furnishing the town of Hagerstown with electric cur. rent developed in circuit court Wednesday when Gus Holscher, acting as the attorney for the Liberty Light and Power Plant, filed a complaint requesting that the town be restrained from interfering with the rights of the company. The complaint maintains that a contract now in existence between the Liberty Light and Power company, and tlobert Cass, manager of the Hagerstown plant, empowers the Liberty concern to furnish current to Hagerstown. Construction of a line to furnish this current has only recently been com pleted, and it is to protect the use of this line that the request for a new injunction was filed Tuesday, accord ing to Robert Ashe, president of the concern. Tuesday's action on the part of Ashe following a ruling of Special Judge Silas W. Canada of Winchester, Tues day morning, on a case between Hag erstown ana Kobert Cass. Point at Issue The point at issue in this case was whether or not the contract of Robert Cass, as manager of the Hagerstown plant, should be sustained or should be cancelled in accordance with the special resolution passed by the Hagerstown town council a few weeks before. In his ruling, Judge Canada sustain ed the contention of Will Reller, attor ney for the town, that Cass had failed to prove that he had complied with his contract and that the case was one for this court to decide. Cass had maintained that the case should go to the public service commission. The action of Ashe taken Tuesday was to maintain his contract with Cass whereby he furnished current to the town. JAY COUNTY OFFICERS TAKES ELOPERS HOME Jay county officers, arriving late Tuesday took Bertha Mae Kunc and Tony G.

A Constantinople dispatch yesterday said a band of 800 Turkish irregulars crossed the border at Thrace at Sinkeli and attacked the Greek outposts. The Turks were thrown back across the boundary after the arrival of Greek reinforcements. MINE (Continued from Page One.) has developed among the operators as to the method of organizing their forces during the conference, yesterday's caucus failing to agree upon a plan. Whether the operators would again go into caucus after the adjournment of today's joint conference was undecided when the joint conference assembled. Insist On Organization. Miners are insisting upon the formation of some representative organization on the part of the operators, claiming that up to the present they have not perfected a definite organization and are without leaders. A movement looking to the formation of a national association of soft coal producers representing three hundred million tons annually was at tempted at yesterday's caucus of oper ators but met with failure.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

OAK LEAVES KILL CATTLE There are many pastures in northera" Indiana that are infested with scrub oak trees. This news doesn't seem important until it is known that the eating of scrub oak leaves has caused the loss of a lot of cattle on western ranges, and has frequently caused sickness and at times the fatal poisoning of cattle in this state. Of course cattle prefer gooa pas turage to oak leaves and it is only when pastures are short that cattle will browse on the trees. This is the condition of numerous northern pastures at this time and explains why Purdue nas sent out a warning, n found that cattle are more susceptible to being poisoned by tanic acid than are horses, sheep or goats, ana oas leaves contain a lot of this acid. A. A. Hansen, of the extension department, relates that some sickness from eating oak leaves has recently been discovered near Fair Oaks, in Jasper county. In one pasture the only green thing lately has been oak leaves and on these the cattle grazed very freely. The trees proved this and when the sick cattle were taken off the oak infested pasture they shortly recovered, only to get sick again when turned back on it. Danger Is Less. When animals feeding in such pastures are given other feeds the danger is not great, but where they have no Other feed they are likely to die. In experimental work it has been found that a few pounds of alfalfa fed daily has prevented fatal sickness. Animals poisoned by oak leaves are apt to refuse feed, crave water, become emaciated and walk in a peculiar manner. A considerableq uantity of oak leaves must be consumed for an extended period before the result is fatal. On pastures where feed is scarce and oaks grow fairly luxuriantly, the best preventive is to provide the animals with another source of feed ununtil the grass has gotten a good start Poultry Culling Field Days Two poultry culling field days were recently held in Morgan and Posey counties and were so widely advertised that farmers from neighboring counties, came to witness the demonstrations. More than 600 attended the Morgan county culling on the farm of S. P. Smyth, near Morgantown. The morning program was given over to talks by County Agent T. C. Cravens and Mr. Smyth and an inspection of the farm. The visitors saw 2100 hens, 900 of which are trapnested; two new houses of the strawloft type and a shed roof house, 200 by 18 feet. A similar meeting was held last year, Jones and H. W. Fitting, of Purdue university, were on the program in the afternoon, discussing new experimental results with poultry obtained at ! mraue. The Posey County meeting was at the farm of Louis J. Demberger at Stewartsville. Mr. Demberger is one of the most successful poultry breeders in Indiana and; also is decidedly practical in his management of the poultry business. At the Demberger farm, the visitors saw a new shed roof house, 20 by 200 feet, of the Purdue type, designed to house 1,000 birds. They also saw an old hog house, 32 by 50 feet, made into a straw loft house which answered the purpose well for a made over house, and offered suggestions for them to take home and apply on their own farms. The Posey county meeting, the first ever held in the county, attracted 350 and another will be held next year. The Purdue men also spok j at this meeting. - Mr. Adams Visits Europe When early last spring Samuel Adams, president of the agricultural editors' association, decided to go to Europe to investigate farm matters, he was commissioned by the American farm bureau to make a study of cooperative marketing and the agricultural situation in several countries. Mr. Adams arrived home late in September and will make an exhaustive report a little later. In the meanwhile he has given out a few interesting facts as to the part European farmers are now playing across the sea. One of the significant statements made is this: "Less than six per cent of Norway's fanners are tenants." When we consider that 40 percent of all the farms in this country are farmed by tenants, and that in some states the percent of rented farms runs much above that, the figures given for Norway are significant. Mr. Adams says that his farm bureau credentials aided him in meeting leaders in agriculture, also members of the cabinets in the 10 countries that he visited. He then states that he found varied kinds of political parties controlling the destinies of these countries. "There was the coalition of the liberals and conservatives of Great Britain; the socialists of Sweden and Germany; the liberals of Denmark; the clericals of Holland and Belgium; the business men's government of Finland; and the Swiss cabinet that is composed of six lawyers and a chemist who has studied law." Farmers Are Leaders. "The most dominant thought that comes to my mind as I think over what I saw and heard in these 10 European countries is the very prominent part that the fanner Is playing in legisla tive matters over there. It would be well if some of our representatives and senators could go over and see what European political leaders think of the need of a prosperous agriculture. . "Leaders in politics, agriculture and many kinds of activities told me that there was only one force that could

preserve the civilization of Europe. That force is the farm owners. When I say farm owners. I mean th man who owns and operates his farm, and uol aosentee tarm owners. "In almost all of the 10 countries laws have been passed that make it possible for the renter to secure a title to the farm he has been operating at a reasonable price. In some of the countries the large estate or land owners have co-operated with the governments; in other countries the owners have not appreciated that world conditions have changed and they have opposed the land laws." New Leghorn Record A dispatch dated at Santa Cruz, Cal., on Sept, 30 gives the following account of a new record made by a White Leghorn hen. The report states that "The world's laying record was broken here Saturday according to officials of the state farm bureau, when Columbia Belle, a. White Leghorn hen laid her 324th egg on the last day of the egg j"& wuicsi. xue contest nas ueen in progress for a year. The former record was 315 eggs in a year, made in 1921 by a White Leghorn from the Hollywood poultry farm, at Hollywood, Washington." We are under the impression that the 315 egg record has been surpassed here in the east, notably in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, also at points farther west, in agricultural egg laying contests. The annual meeting of the Indiana State Poultry association opened at Purdue on Tuesday afternoon, in the agricultural building. Members of the Purdue poultry staff and successful poultrymen from all parts of the state are taking part in the four day program. A general discussion of the egg-laying situation will be held on Wednesday afternoon and a banquet will follow at Hotel Fowler in the evening. Reports on all Indiana egglaying contests for the year will be presented on Thursday and officers will be elected on Friday forenoon. Pike County Pig Show. The Pike county promotion pig show to be held under the auspices of the county breeders' association will be given at Petersburg, on Oct. 18-20. More than $200 will be given in premiums. The sow and litter club will make an exhibit at the same time. The Pike county folks will also have a chance to show their dogs, not for money but tor ribbons. It is reported from Hartford Citv that the price of milk was advanced from 10 cents to 12 cents a quart, on Monday, poor pastures being given as the cause of the increased price. The Fertilizer Industry. In the latest issue of the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Dr. W. H. Waggman has a very inter esting contribution devoted chiefly to a discussion of the increasing importance of chemistry in the fertilizer in dustry. Chemical control originated at the Connecticut experiment station in 1876 and has broadened its influ ence until, says Dr. Waggaman, "the manufacture of fertilizers is now ris ing from the plane of a big business conducted largely along trule of thumb' lines to that of a true chemical industry founded upon sound scientific principles, which make for higher efficiency, greater economy, and better service to both the individual and the nation. "The trend of the fertilizer industry today is toward the manufacture and use of more concentrated products. . . . . . Along with the direct manufacture of phosphoric acid and the synthetic production of ammonia must come the wider use of definite and relatively pure chemical compounds for fertilizer purposes, for these two fertilizer ingredients must be combined with a base and an acid, respectively, in order to handle, ships, and distribute them successfully The logical procedure is to combine the phosphoric acid with ammonia to form ammonium phosphate or with ' potash as potassium phosphate, and I where both ammonia and nitric acid are produced, combine them to form ammonium nitrate. In every case, a salt is obtained wherein both the acid and base contribute their share to the market value of tha fertilizer."
