CHAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co 212 Union National Bant EalMlng) CHICAGO, Oct. 19 After an early bulge all grains ruled dull and fractionally lower, wheat leading in the decline. Realizing sales, lower cables and a less urgent cash and export demand were the principal Influences that caused the eet back. The English cabinet crisis caused only momentary uneasiness. Good absorption was apparent at the extreme decline, and the markets closed with a firm tone under the circumstances. The car situation remained practically unchang, and Minneapolis reported that milling capacity there might soon be reduced unless relief came In the shipping situation. Increasing complaints are received from western Kansas and Nebraska, where continued dry weather Is causing apprehteion overtae-Trin-ter wheat seeding prospects.

In Texas Squabble

i ' - i George E. B. Peddy. (By Central Press) AUSTIN. Tex., Oct. 19. George E. B. Peddy Is the storm center of Texas politics this year as the battle for the U. S. senate seat draws to a climax. In the first primary the Democrats made no selection. Senator Culberson lost, but neither of his two leading onDOnentS. Earl R. Mavfifld nor former Governor Ferguson, received the necssary nuniDer or. votes. The run-off Drimqrv nominated Mayfield. Then on the ground that Mayfield was backed by the Ku Klux Klan the Democrats held a new con vention and nominated Ppddv who has since been endorsed by many RepuDucans. To further complicate matters, the secretary of state then refused to have Peddy's name on the ballot and now the matter is being threshed out in the courts. Unless tho litigation nda quickly, Texas may for the time being lose one or its representatives in the senate. .

Mr. Vivian declared that if he took a census of Richmond today, he would find 40 per cent of its residents were born on farms and that most everybody in the city had been born of fathers and mothers who had lived on farms. In most cases of city residents, grandparents have lived on the farm. "Successful engineers, many of them, are from farms. The pick of your citizens are born on farms," he said. "I want to say that our foreign districts are the most dangerous to America today. I found four foreign lands in the state of Wisconsin not long ago," declared Mr. Vivian. He saidthat there were colonies in this region of Poles and Germans, who could not speak any other language than their own. They did not even take an interest in the United States government." he added. Need Good Men. "Therefore, we must be sure that we have high class men on the farms today. The city must not take all tha best men. It is not the question to worry as to how nanv go to the city, but it is the kind which remain behind. To keep them on the farm, wc must convince them that their living, social life and other conveniences, will be as good as that of the city residents. The schools must be as good as the city schools, for the betterment of the farmer boys and girls." Mr. Vivian urged that the city man and the farmer work together to overcome the possibility of laxity in the production of food.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

THE FARM HOME A county agent from the heart of the cornbelt took a tour of observation and inspection over one of the most famous and prosperous agricultural sections of the eastern 'United States last summer. He wanted to compare the homes and methods of farming, and the status of rural life in the east, with that of the country with which he was so familiar. At the end of his wanderings he returned home and related some of his experiences while away, at a farm bureau meeting, for the edifycation of his rural constituents. What interests us most is the cause for thoughtful consideration, given at the end of his address as a postcript, in a few words devoted to farm gardens and homes. "I did not notice one good farm garden in the whole territory," he said. "The barns, storage houses and outbuildings were fine and substantial and suitable to the needs of the farmers In that climate. But the homes were for the most part small, uninviting, fequently shabby and unpalnted. with very little attractiveness as homes, lacking shrubs, trees or flowers. In most cases it was apparent that the family home was the last thing considered and also the most neglected on the farm." This statement presents one of the principle problems of our agriculture. It relates to the bareness of so much of our country life, to the lack of satisfying surroundings and which is forever prompting the best and most progressive young minds to leave the farm in the quest for a more congenial environment in the cities. This, however, is a problem that each farmer can solve for himself at will. Out here in the west thousands of farmers have solved that problem just as it should be solved. Their examples are gradually leading others to follow and so the idea is spreading that a big red barn, a lofty silo, convenient hog and poultry houses and a windmill, do not constitute a real farm home. Shade trees, shrubbery, flowers and vines, with the right kind of a house in that ideal setting, is becoming more and more appreciated, from year, to year. No Coal at Pershing Frank McKee, manager of the elevator at Pershing, says they have about 10 000 bushels of wheat.on hand and that they sold and shipped one car at $1.19 on Wednesday. The elevator has been holding for advancing market for quite a long while, and came pretty nearly disposing of the whole lot this week, but bidders did not quite reach their price. But they are in a bad way as to coal at Pershing. Mr. McKee says that on some switch between Pennsylvania and Pershing a car of anthracite, en which they have had the bill of lading for some days, is most likely stranded. He has been ordering soft coal from time to time, he says, but not a single bill of lading has been received. Within the past few days he has ordered coal from West Virginia, on which he got the promise of prompt shipment. They are paying $1.05 for wheat at Pershing just now. One Car at Green's Fork Eden Martindale, of Green's Fork, says that while he has six cars of coal bought no bills of lading has come in. He says .however, that Mr. Hatfield, coal dealer, got In a car of Pochahontas on Tuesday, which was warmly welcomed. Some of the coal expected was contracted for by the elevator at Green's Fork, weeks ago, and it has been a great disappointment not to have seen some of it roll in. Mr. Martindale says that wood is plenty up his way and that folks are burning it freely. Wheat is worth $1.03 at Green's Fork. There isn't a pound of coal In the bins of the elevator at Fountain City, nor has any coal arrived in some time, says the manager. We understand that the feeling is that some Fountain City coal, is supposedly lurking in the Richmond yards, but this is not a certainty. Aside from the men at the elevator John Powell is also in the coal business but at this writing hasn't a pound to sell. Why Farm Women are Fat There is a country editor in Ohio, and he prints the Jackson News, who explains why farm women are so fat. He claims that it is lack of exercise which makes them put on weight. You don't believe it. you say? Well. anyway, this Is his explanation of why city women are "thinner" than their sisters in the country: "In keeping thin city women lead those of the small town and farm," says the editorial. Why shouldn't they? The woman on the farm dos not get enough exercise. She lies In bed until four o'clock in the morning, gets up and milks a few cows, feds the chickens, gets breakfast, washes up the dishes, tidies up the hous-i. then goes out and hoes in the garden until time to cook dinner for "pa and the hands, does a big ironing in the No hunting or trespassing on R.

It had been duly plugged, was found ripe and sweet then loaded into The Palladium car lor its final journey. Mr. Swain is noted as a corn grower up his way and as a man who does not unsnally sell a bushel of one crop until the next one is months old. We understand that ho grew a banner crop this season. Strange as it may appear, Mr. Swaia does mighty little feeding. He lets tfee other fellow feed to his heart's content, while he himself supplies whatever corn is in demand for that purpose. He further maintains .that h? has made money at it and that farmers come from miles around to buy corn, where they are sure to find it. Still Sowing Wheat.

White and sweet potatoes are being dug, the former varying considerably in vield and mialitv. Buckwheat is being threshed. Apple picking continued; a few reports indicate impaired keeping qualities. Winter pears are plentiful. Beans are good. "The rains Improved materially pastures and meadows, which greened up considerably, but are still very short." Beats All Former Records.
