GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Brca. & Co., 212 Union National Banfc Eailding) CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 11. All grains were strong and higher -wheat leading in the general advance. Lower cables and the signing of the armistice between Turkey and the allies brought a moderate celling early, but good buying power developed, a large part of which was credited to seaboard and export interests. Flour sales in all leading centers were large, and export business in grains was restricted only by lack of cereals in nearby positions. Rome of the buying in wheat was induced by the department of agricultures revision downward to the extent of 81.000,000 of the world's wheat production, Russia and Mexico excluded. Values reacted slightly toward the close on profit taking sale's, due to the partial holiday tomorrow.

CORN, SPRING WHEAT AND BARLEY CROPS SHOW SLIGHT DECREASE IN ESTIMATED PRODUCTION

Corn, spring wheat and barley in Indiana show a slight decrease in estimated production compared with the September estimate, according to the monthly report of the co-operative n rnn rfinnrtin or corvioa iccitoH t PvH Q V sufficient to make any material differ ence, except for tobacco, which shows a gain of 340,000 pounds. The report follows : The corn condition is still somewhat variable throughout the state, but generally shows about the same as last month. The average was S3 per cent of normal on October 1 and indicates a total production of 176,391,000 bushels, compared with 177,782,000 bushels shown for last month and 169, 848,000 bushels harvested last year. Bottom land corn generally is very good, but that on upland is variable. Much of it ripened too rapidly and will be more or less chaffy. Practically all the crop is now out of the way of frost. In some sections the corn is down badly and interfering with wheat and rye seeding. Silo filling is completed. The aveiage yield per acre of spring wheat was 15 bushels in Indiana from which a total production of 60,000 bushels is forecast, compared 'with GRAIN REGULATION LAW IS ATTACKED BY BOARD OF TRADE (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 11 J. Ogden Armour, Joseph P. Griffin and other leading figures in the world's grain trade, were called to testify oday before the federal trade commission in its investigation of trading in futures. With the hearing under way the Chicago board of trade has launched an attack on the validity of the CapperTincher act placing the regulation of grain exchanges in the hands of the secretary of agriculture. Test of the validity of the future trading act will be made before the United States supreme court on the same grounds on which the court held the former Capper-Tincher law unconstitutional according to Henry S. Robbins, attorney for the board. Action in the former proceedings wa3 taken individually by traders. In the ruling Chief Justice Taft stated that the suit should have been filed by the board itself and in consequence directors of the board last night voted to wage the new contest as an official action in the name of the board of trade.

Labor Group Strong. Elsewhere the growing strength of labor is emphasized and the labor leaders themselves speak as though they were confident of sweeping the polls and taking office. It does not seem to be supposed that the Liberals whether Asquithian or Georgian will be able to rally enough undivided support to bring them into power. One important result of the crisis according to two or three papers is that Sir Robeit Horne, chancellor of the Exchequer, has postponed his trip to the United States and that the debt funding mission will not be undertaken by another, being held up until Sir Robert feels free to go. LONDON. Oct. 11. Sir Robert Horne, chancellor of the Exchequer stated today that he was going to the United States at the head of the British debt funding mission, despite information in the press to the contraryThere might be a delay of a couple of weeks in his departure, he said, owing to the Near East situation.

The Farm and By William R. FARM BUREAU ACTIVITIES With cool autumn days and lengthening evenings the summer vacation period comes to an end. Not that the farmer had nothing to do but rest all summer long, for he has been busy since corn went first into the ground and recently into the silo and shock. But he took a vacation from farm bureau activities early in July, or at latest on August 1. Meetings were called off because it w.is hf.rd to get a crowd out on hot summer nights when the tired and wilted ruralist preferred to cool off and smoke in the yard under the trees, or retire early, only to get up still earlier in the morn ing to tackle another busy day. All the various township farm associations will again hold meetings this month, as did a few of them in September. Webster township announces a meeting at the Webster school on Thursday evening: of this week. No special program, so far as we know, but the regular order of business and a discussion by the members of whatsoever subjects may come up. All farmers are invited and all members expected to be present, otherwise to furnish a mighty good and valid excuse, delivered by the hired man or a neighbor, and attested by a notary public or other satisfactory signers, as one of the officials tells us. Now, if that doesn't, bring out a crowd we can't think of what would. Among the pressing matters ahead of the vaiious farm bureaus is that ol collecting for another year and the signing up of new members, prior to the state meeting at Indianapolis. County enrollment governs the number of delegates at the state annual, and state enrollment governs the num ber of accredited delegates at the American farm bureau annual at Chicago, in December. Neither county or state wants to see a decline in membership for the year, so there will be a fight to increase it; this fight beginning in the individual townships, the first unit of the aggregation. Yellowjacket Kills FarmeA strange occurrence is reported in a press dispatch from Hopkinsville. Ky.. which relates the death of a farmer from the sting of a yellowjacket, on Monday. Julian H. Caudle, 32 years old, was stung over the heart by the insect, and died within a few hours. The best grade of beeves sold up to $12.80 at Chicago, the high of tno

weak to lb cents lower, ine receipt at 24,000 were under the estimates. The receipts of sheep and lambs were 34,000, the heaviest on any day this year and tljis resulted in a break of 25 cents. The season of farm sales, which began early in this section, is now wide open and going strong. The farm sale calendar printed daily in this paper showed nine sales billed for this week, on Saturday last, the last of the bunch ! for the week begin a combination sale of Duroc breeders at the William llcoxen farm, nine miles northwest of Richmond, on Friday next. Three Duroc breeders will be represented at this sale. The October Crop Report Briefly summarized the October crop report as per government estimates, shows that while spring wheat harvest figures showed a decline of 9,000,000 bushels the crop exceeds that of 1921 by 60,000,000 bushels. The four big northwestern states have 214.000.000 bushels, an increase of 67,000,000 over last year. The looses were largely on the north Pacific coast states. A total wheat crop of $10,000,000 bushels is suggested, or 7,000,000 bushels less than a month ago and 15,000,000 bushels more than last year. The oats crop lost 25,000,000 bushels for the month, but is 170,000,000 bUShels in excess of last year. A potato 5,000,000 bushels for the month and exceeds last year's by 6,000,000 bushels, and is one of the largest known. Fruit crops are unusually large. The totals, covering ' wheat , corn, oats, rye and barley showed a loss of 54,000,000 for the month but nevertheless aggregated 5,109,000,000 bushels, or 23,000.000 more than were harvested a year ago.

the Farmer Sanborn

corn is now put at 2,S53,000,000 bushels. Despite a steady increase in prices for turkeys since 1915, fewer birds have been grown from year to yeai. The average price paid for turkeys on farms during the four months of October to January. 1915-16. was 15 cents a pound. The price received during the corresponding period, 1920-21, was 32 cents a pound. Going back to the census year 1900, we find that we had 6,595,000 turkeys in the farms thai fall, while in 1910 there were only 3.6SS.000 and in 1920 there were but 3,627,000. During the past six year, the price of turkeys has increased more than 100 per cent and production has fallen off at least 50 per cent In tne past 20 years. The department of agriculture tells us that the raising of turkeys may be found very profitable where there is an abundance of range and reasonable freedom from preying animals. Ever, for the f aimer with limited range there are opportunities for the profitable raising of a few turkeys, if proper attention is given them. It is very difficult to ship turkevs alive to market since the shrinkage "i. very heavy. Ordinarily turkeys do not eat very much when confined and therefore they are usually killed ani dressed locally and then shipped t market, packed in barrels or boxes. Turkeys, like chickens, may be either scalded or dry picked, but the dry picked birds are preferred because they keep better. Wool Marketing Methods. During the past 30 years the wool grower has seen an almost complete reversal of methods of marketing wool, namely the change from the consignment method that was then in vogue, then to a system of speculative buving that, up to the advent of the pooling system, took care of about 90 percent of our American clip. The decline of the consignment business and the development ot speculative buying, says Mark J. Smith, of the Ohio state farm bureau, "came about through the realization bv large wool-center dealers that there were fortunes to be made by speculative buying, where as there was only a nice living in the consignment business. -no one ever got rich out of consignement a mono-

wool men. It is obvious, therefore, that an extensive svsten nf sn" ,i tive capital on which interest must be paid, large wool-center Uealei.,, ried regional buyers and an army of local buyers, has been an expensive system for the wool growers. It has resulted in hammering down wool values prior to and at shearing time and has made little incentive to produce a good product. The local buyer

being so far removed from the ultimate consumer ofthe wool, merit in many cases was not a factor. Much farm wool has been bought without being inspected." The wool pool is an honest attempt on the part of the wool growers to cor-. rect this erratic condition that is s determined to the entire sheep industry and to improve their own conditions by stabilizing the market by making a market, by making it unnecessary to have speculative margins taken out of their wool for the purpose of protecting speculators and by selling wool on its merits, thus securing its full market value each year and for all wool. In a docker's weight-carrying competition in France the winner carried a burden of 716 pounds a distance of 13 yards. wwmn mmm tmmim ritimmiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiii miiiiiniiniiiiH'2 i f WIT T T T p ipp I Democratic Candidate for f I County Treasurer 1 ALSO GOOD TIRES l S South 7th Street, Richmond vuiiiiiiiiitiiHiiiiHiiiiiiinfiMiHiniiiiiiiitiiiiifuiiiinMiiMitMiniiiiiHiiiiiuiuiiifniN Order From Your Grocer Today ?T7 Creamery Butter Richmond Produce GOOD CLEAN COAL Richmond Coal Company Phone 3165 BUY COAL NOW We have the right coal at the right price.
