"BIG BUSINESS" MEN, ARMY HEADS DISCUSS FUTURE WAR PLANS - ...... i f?y Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct 7. Eight "big business' mn, all enrolled in the government service on a "dollar-a-year" basis, have been in conference with army ordnaace officials here working out details of post-war plans for the mobilization of ordnance manufacturing plants In any future war. The group is composed of the civilian chiefs of eight ordnance districts into which the country has been divided. Those attending the conferenca have been B. A. Franklin, chief of the Bridgeport, Conn., district; J. C. Jones, chief of the Philadelphia district; Fred J. Robinson, chief of the
Detroit district; M. E. Singleton, chief
of the St. Louis district; C. L. Harrison, chief of the Cincinnati district;
John Ross Delafield, chief of the New
York district; E. A. Russell, chief o
the Chicago district, and C. H. Ten-
ney, chief of the Boston district Plants Be Supervised
The theory of the ordnance department in creating these civilian chiefs is that all available plants in
each district will be under jurisdiction of the district chief, who will keep constantly in touch with plant owners and arrange in agreement with them for the prompt utilization of the plants for munition making in the event of war. Each chief is himself a large manufacturer with experience in the making of war munitions and to each has been assigned an army ordnance officer as secretary to aid in carrying out the program. Ordnance officials hope to set up through this means a permanent and inexpensive system
that will avoid all confusion in getting the flow of munitions started in any
emergency to come.
The conference here has been for
the purpose of planning with these
volunteer district chiefs re-organiza
tion of the districts on the lines pro
posed. Assistant Secretary Wain
wright and Major General Harbord,
deputy chief of staff, addressed the session, emphasizing the War departments view that plan for mobiliza
tion of munition resources of the na
tion were, of equsl importance with the question of arranging for an adequate supply of man power, Brigadier
General W. S. Peirce, acting chief of
ordnance presided.
The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
NEWS OF COMING RAIN
ENCOURAGES FARMERS
News of rains on the way and du? to fall in Wayne and Preble counties
Saturday night and Sunday, encour
aged farmers whose wheat sowing has been held up by dry weather, and whose hopes were uselessly raised bv the slight moisture which dampened
the earth Saturday morning. Only six
hundredths of an Inch fell then.
Wheat seed put in the ground early
in the week has been lying quiescent
a-iiting a rain, apd many farmers
also have been waiting for rains before going ahead with seeding. By
the end of the week, farmers were
anxiously watching the skies and hoping for a break In the dry spell
which has continued since early In
September.
News that general rains are in prog
ress over the lake regions and central
states, was therefore warmly welcom ed, as it probably will mean the suc
cess of the wheat crop now being
put in.
Garfield School Observes Riley Day With Program Garfield school observed the birthday anniversary of James Whitcomb Riley, Friday, at the Morton high school auditorium with a special pro
gram. Pearl Dixon gave one of Riley's famous readings and Ralph Stutz and Nina Shera, teachers of the school, each sang solos. Principal George Manning gave the opening Bible reading.
HAS 34-YEAR OLD BINDER The Farm Journal for October prints a picture of a binder now in use which
was made back in 1SS8. It is owned by Isaac Boyle, of Reynolds, Illinois, who bought it as a second hand machine at a farm sale in 1S91. In 1916, the old binder cut 36 acres of
wheat and Isaac said then it was good for many more harvests. In 1922 this binder handled a still larger crop and it is said to have worked like new.
In his letter, Mr. Reynolds says: My Binder is 34 years old and 13
good for 34 years more, if the right
men handle it. I should very much like to talk to you about our Junk yards being a national crime or a national shame." Moral take care of your farm tools. A wayside farmer with a good flock of chickens hung .out a sign near the gate setting forth that he had Fresh Eggs for Sale. He found that passing autoists paid not the slightest attention to te sign and on it chalk
ed up the price of eggs in large, white
figures that fairly Jumped into the
eyes of the passer-by. The result
was gratifying and immediate.
This seems to show that the lack
of buyers had been caused by the dis
trust of too high prices, and a hesl
tancy to inquire about them. Tell
what you have to sell and give the
price, if you are really after business.
The Poland Champion.
When the blue ribbon was won by
Highland Goliath in 'The aged boar class at the Ohio state fair in 1921, not many
of the visitors at the ringside knew that here was a feat which represented years of study in breed improvement,
says the Ohio Farmer. , However
Brent Woodmansee, the owner, had
been steadily climbing up the ladder
for a dozen years or more, trying to build up a herd 'of pure-bred Poland China hogs. His dream waj to have
one of the greatest herd sires in the
United States.
It was not surprising therefore
when their boar came back this year stronger than ever, weighing close to
1,100 pounds, strong of back, straight from shoulder clear through, as smooth
as a yearling and was chosen as grand
champion of his great breed."
Mr. Woodmansee began breeding
Poland Chinas in Highland county 15 years ago. He held his first sale at
the end of four years and smce that
date has held at least one sale a year.
He also owns a herd of 25 pure-bred
Jersey cows, from which he ships the
cream to Cincinnati, thus providing
him with plenty of skim milk for his
sows and pigs. Mr. Woodmansee was the owner of Highland Giant, a son of the Giant, by Hercules, a -litter mate
to Disher's Giant. Highland Giant was
sold as a two-year-old for $2,000 and shipped into Indiana.
Great Duroc Hog Show The Northwestern Ohio Duroc Fu
turity show, held in connection with the Hancock county fair, established a new record in the history of purebred swine. A greater number of pigs were entered and shown than in any district show ever promoted by any pure-bred swine breeders' association. Over 230 pig payments were made and over 200 spring pigs were driven into the show ring and passed under the observation of Judge R. C. Watt. Duroc breeder and Judge of national repute. Over $1,600 In prizes was passed out on Duroc pigs under one year of age. Breeders from all over northwestern Ohio were exhibiting. The competi
tion was keen. Highest awards on senior pigs six months old and under one year were taken by C. F. Sprague,
of Allen county, Ohio. Highest honors in the Junior pig class were won by Zale Borton, of Williams county, Ohio, on pigs sired by Orion's Masterpiece. One hundred dollars In prizes was
also awarded to the breeders in a show for the best five sows six
months or older. In the open class many of the breeders also exhibited full herds of aged stock at the Hancock county
fair, making a total of 375 pure-bred Durocs exhibited. This almost puts Hancock county fair in a class with
state fairs in respect to swine shows and marks the achievement of one of the greatest tasks ever undertaken
by a district pure-bred swine breed
ers' association.
Pennsylvania 47th State. By the time of the annual meeting
of the American farm bureau at Chicago, Dec. 11-14, Pennsylvania will have completed its state farm bureau organization and be the forty-seventh state member of the big farm body.
Very few counties will be represented,
however, but there are now enough members enrolled to make up a state organization. Lancaster county alone
furnishing more than 1,300 members
at $5 each. Lancaster is the great to
bacco county of Pennsylvania.
Luzerne county, which partly stands
on end, and which is underlaid with
hard coal, began a membership campaign on Sept. 9. J. C. Brubaker, of Lancaster, has been elected state
president. We should be interested in knowing how the old-fashioned, rich
Pennsylvania Dutch farmers take to the farm bureau idea, and to co-oper
ative efforts generally.
County Agents as Professors Under the California plan of organi-. zation of extension work in co-operation with the United States department of agriculture, county agents have the rank of assistant professors in the university and are entitled to all the rights and privileges of the resident teaching force. Accordingly one county agent who has now served eight years in his present position has been granted sabbati
cal leave, which he will spend in Eu
rope studying rural co-operation. This is the first time in the history of the work that such recognition has been given a county agent Showing Poultry Houses A number of county agents in Texas have hit upon a popular scheme of introducing model, sanitary poultry houses by showing them in the county seats, where they remain throughout the season. These houses are locally built from blue prints furnished by extension workers and are furnished with the proper equipment. The story of the Franklin county house is typical of others. The agent constructed the house and equipped it with a dry-mash hopper and drinking
fountain. He stocked it with eisht
hens selected on the basis of egg production. The chamber of commerce furnished the money, and a lumber company gave the material. It was easy to get a hen from each of four barred rock breeders and one from each of four white leghorn breeders
for an egg-laying contest, which attracted much attention. After the hens had b.ecome accustomed to their
new home a record of the eggs laid by each breed and the amount of food consumed each month was kept and reported in the local papers. Hundreds of persons visited the
house last year. Some came to study
the house, others the drinking foun
tain and dry-mash hopper, as well as to see the hens. The house- has been a great factor in determitfing the
plans for poultry houses all over the
county.
One of the model poultry houses located on courthouse lawns is to re
main until it is awarded to the best
poultry club member this fall. Feeding Brood Sows
A. L. Weaver, of the extension de
partment at the Missouri college, says
that a great deal of loss among young pigs can be prevented by proper and liberal feeding of the sows. He states that the ration for sucking sows should contain plenty of protein and
mineral matter. Milk is high in these
nutrients and unless the sow is sup
plied them, in her feed maximum pro
duction cannot be expected. The ra
tion should also be fairly bulky, that is it may contain more crude fiber than
rations for very young pigs or fatten
ing hogs. There are a number of com
binations which might be expected to
be equally satisfactory for feeding
sows, sucking pigs. The following has
given good results:
' Corn, 50 lbs.; shorts, 25 lbs.; bran
15 lbs.; linseed oil meal, 10 lbs. Fox Farmers Invest Millions. The latest farmer Is a "fur farmer,
that is he raises wild animals for their fur, notably foxes. According to reports made to the biological survey of the department of agriculture there
are at least 500 ranchers now raising
silver foxes, and that they own be
tween 12.000 and 15,000 foxes in cap
tivity. This industry has grown be
cause of the rapid development of our
fur trade, this being the largest fur-
consuming country of the world. It i
now estimated that fox farmers have
$8,000,000 invested in foxes and equip
ment.
Many inquiries concerning fox farm
ing are sent to the biological survey.
The problems met by fox and other
fur farmers require, as in the case of
other live stoik. a knowledge of spe
cies, temperament, sanitation, diseases
and parasites. In addition, fur farm
ers are handling wild animals in cap
tivity, and not domestic stock.

UNSETTLED NEAR EAST
CONDITIONS BOOSTS GRAIN PRICES HIGHER
f By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 7. Uncertainty as
to -peace or war with the Turks, has had much to do with making wheat
prices average higher this week. Com
pared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was up 94c to 2c; corn showed a gain of 1 to 2 to 2l4c:
knowledge of pelts, particularly of values and requirements, is essential to success from the business standpoint r.nd this ordinarily means to visit per. sonally warehouses, manufacturing
furriers, or sales of furs. As breeders can not always do this, representatives of the biological survey are constantly
bringing before them all possible in
formation relating to the fur industry in all its phases.
oats lc to lc advance, and provisions a rise of 10c to 45c. For ie most part wheat fiuotuated according as developments in the near east became more or less threatening,
but, yesterday an exception was noted, the amount of new . buying on that occasion failing to prove sufficient to absorb profit taking sales and increased bear ventures due to successive preceding upturns in values.
These upturns had been stimulated in some degree by bullish estimates of the 1922 yield of corn in the United States and by a better domestic flour trade, as well as by increasing demands for wheat available for ready shipment to Europs through ports on the Gulf of Mexico. Buying of corn on a broad scale during much of the week, with current crop estimates acting as the chief incentive. Oats moved up with corn.
Packers' buying, supposed to reflect shipping business, gave a lift to pro
visions. NEW YORK, Oct. 7 Stock prices made a rapid recovery in this week's
market, making up approximately i5per cent of the losses sustained in tha reaction which extended over three weeks. ' Several influences contributed . to bring, about this result but apparently the most potent was the declaration of stock divisions by the Standard Oil Companies of California and New York, the former doubling its capital and the latter declaring a 200 per cent dividend and decreasing the par valu.3 of the stock from $100 to $25. This action brought a heavy speculation In ; oil shares, which undoubtedly had a buoyant effect on the rest of the list.

Show this week. Particularly at the first night's performance, at which time no electrical storms interfered, splendid results were obtained and the voice of Mr. Garton, of the Garton Studios, came thru to the vast audience in natural tone and wonderful volume.
It will be of interest to radio enthusiasts to know that these programs were received from the Palladium Broadcasting Station on a single inside wire stretched the full length of the Coliseum, no outside aerial of any kind being employed. The loud speaker used not only amplified the natural receiving volume more than 500 times, but generously filled the entire auditorium, and with but little distortion of tone. Radio performance will even appear more wonderful to you on closer acquaintance. Fifteen minutes of instruction will enable you to master the simplicity of operation embodied in "Zenith Long-Distance Radio."
