GRAIN PRICES j fMartets by Lamson Bros. & Co, 212 Union National Bank Eaildlng) CHICAGO, I1L, Oct 23. After opening lower in sympathy -with a decline in Liverpool all grains gained strength and closed moderately higher for the day. Rye leading. The working of 800,000 bushels of that grain to Germany over the week end, reports of a frost visitation in parts of Argentine and a generously over sold condition were the factors that turned the markets. Receipts in all majiets were in fair volume and it was reported more cars would soon be furnished, especially at Buffalo to move grain to the seaboard. Corn futures held well dispite a sharp break In cash prices. Husking returns are a little spotted, bat the quantity of the grain Is reported as excellent. While fairly general rains fell over Illinois. Indiana and Iowa the situation in western Kansas and Nebraska remains unchanged. If this condition continues it will "be important factor in the wheat market. RANGE OP FUTURES Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO. Oct 23.

BT THE. VAY-
the Farmer Sanborn bear out the early estimates of the spring pig crop as spring pigs began arriving in that month and are now constituting a large part of the offerings. It is also a fact that the number of cattle and calves reaching the 67 mar kets in September, were the greatest since November, 1920, the total bovines being 2,373,131. Of these 1,107,000 were slaughtered. Compared with the five-year average receipts showed an increase of seven per cent, and local slaughter decreased 9.4 percent, the difference being accounted for by the stocker and feeder shipments, as compared with former years. Idaho potato growers increased their acreage about 60 percent this year as compared with 1921. This has resulted in their having plenty of potatoes and but little money. Taking the state as a whole shipments of potatoes were 1,400 cars below those to the same date last year. According to the government report: "Prices received by the growers 60 far, have been close to the cost of digging and sacks. Dealers generally are not extending credit to growers for sacks, and a large proportion of the sacks are sold only on a cash basis." Prices Paid to Growers. The report goes on to tell of prices as follows: "During the latter part of September prices at Idaho Falls for U. S. No. 1 Rurals, on the basis of wagonloads cash to growers, ranged 40-60c per 100 lbs. Most sales at the close of the month were made at the lower figure. During the same period last season prices of Rurals were$l$1.50. Digging of Russets was not be gun until October, and sacked U. S. No. 1 stock has been selling recently at 50-60c per 100 lbs. A few fancy "bakers," sorted to sizes 12 ounces and up in weight, have met with good demand around $1 to the grower for bulk stock. This margin between "baker" stock and general No. 1 grade is not excessive, for the cost of sorting is considerable and the stock remaining after the "bakers" have been sorted out has decreased materially in value." Growers who are able to finance themselves are digging and storing. Many, however are compelled to sell a share of their output to cover the expense of digging the balance. Both growers and dealers in Idaho and eastern Oregon are looking forward with apprehension, as unless the markets show a considerable advance between now and spring it is likely that many potatoes will not be shipped. . Viewed from any angle, one must conclude that what the potato growers need, as badly or even worse than the wheat growers is stabilized markets. Compare what the Idaho growers received last year with present prices, and remember that eastern men are largely in the same fix, except that they are nearer points of consumption, and have less money to pay out for freight. November Crop Report On November 8 the department of agriculture will issue a most important crop report summary, which will be "brass tacks" on the actual production of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, tobacco, haxseed, apples, pears, peanuts, onions, cabbage,' sugar beets, etc. In addition the percentage of 1921 corn held on the-farms on Nov. 1 will be estimated, also tho average weight per measured bushel of wheat, oats and barley crops of this year, be given. It is worth a few lines to say that the cabbage season in Colorado has been much later this year than last. For example, thfi total crop last yea" THE KIND OF FOOD YOU NEED FOR HEALTH Father John's Medicine One of Richest Sources of True Nourishment' .When people, especially children, grow weak, inactive and run down, it is almost a sure sign that they have been eating food lacking in vitamins.

But had yon imagined that Colorado, the state of snow-covered peaks and deep cai -yons, raised cabbage in such quantity? Stabilizing Wheat. Just how Arthur R, Roberts, a broker on the Chicago Board of Trade figures it out, is beyond us, but here is what he says: "The price of wheat never would fall below $1.25 or rise above $1.50, if the grain market were stabilized by a government fund of $100,000,000. " This fund, according to Mr. Roberts' suggestion would be used to buy up the grain surplus at seasonable times. Well, inasmuch, as the men back of Ihe job wouldn't eat all that wheat, they would at some time have to feed that surplus to the market, presumably at a price which would show a profit above expense and shrink, to keep the fund intact, if not growing. Again, as to not going above $1.50 in the case of small crops, either hero or -abroad, that kind of "stabilizing"' would make no appeal to the growers; nor would the maintenance of the price at $1.25 suit the world buyer, in the case of big production, or over-production, compared to the world demand lor bread and seed. What we might do in America would have but little effect in other surplus countries, if the world price suited them, whether we sold our grain or held it, until their own surplus were turned into cash. Then, too, there is always the big speculator and exporter to be reckoned with, according to demand and circumstances. If Mr. Roberts can give us the ground plan and front elevator of his scheme, and it's workable, we shall be glad to look it over. The Canned Tomato Crop. ' More than one million tons of tomatoes were commercially canned in this- country the past season, accord ing to reports from the department of agriculture. This is 132 percent more tomatoes than the 430,756 tons canned in 1921. It is of interest to note that Indiana led all the states in tomato acreage and production for commercial canning. The Indiana crop is estimated at 271,530 tons grown for the canneries alone. If we add to this the miles upon miles of tomato rows grown in farm and family gardens, and the number of cans put up by individual families, in all parts of the country, we may feel assured that there are plenty of canned tomatoes to serve until the next crop is cared for. As the government estimates show, it took 215,700 acres to provide tomatoes for the canneries, this year Following Indiana with its 271.534 tons of tomatoes, comes California with 173,786 tons. Maryland with 111.510 tons. New Jersey with 81,398 tonr, New York with 63,245 tons. Ohio with 56.847 tons, Missouri with 37,163 tons.

7 with 30,287 tons. Other states had smaller quaniti?s. ' It is estimated that 215.684 acres produced the tomato crop for nianu-; facture this year, compared with the final estimate of 87.933 acres in 1921.

From the reports made to the department, it is estimated that about 9,335,000 cases of No. 3 cans of 1921 pack of this year. The pack of 1921 was 5,050,000 cases. Henry Walace, secretary of agriculture, is winging around the circle making speeches, just now, and was in Indiana last week. On Friday he addressed a large gathering of farmers at Greensburg, at a Republican, meeting, at which he enumerated seven acts of the congress which have aided
our agriculture. After denying that any of these acts could be termeo class legislation, he aserted that none; -"v helps the farmer at the expense ot other groups, none -will hurt any legiti, mate business and all of it -was designed to promote more regular and more stable production of larn-pn, ducts b7 providing needed credit ia cilities and free and open markets. "Since March, 1921, agriculture has had more attention and sympathetic! consideration in the national capital than at any other like period in our history. Both congress and the administration have appreciated the serious character of the agricultural depression and have done everything possible to make conditions better for the farmer. Why? Not because the farmer should be favored at the expense of other groups, but because in helping the farmer everybody would be helped." Mr. Wallace went .on to enumeratp and classify the various legislative acts of the late congress, designed to facilitate co-operative marketing, make money available to agriculture, etc..
