The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
COAL PRICE REGULATION The various state coal commissions and price and profit publicists are not tflndiae all coal dealers tractable and fready to concur in their rulings, this applying to the mine operators as well. Many of the operators in Illinois are I mo re or less rebellious. Also many of
rtha dealers are objecting to th mar-
J21 and $22 per cord recently in the vicinity of Boston, which set the fuel administration to investigating the reason. Figuring wheat against wood the western coal buyer now has the best of the argument. Two large glass jars of peaches which took first premium at the Miami county, Ohio, fair back in 1875,
are still In reasonably good and sup-
farlnn the coal board declr to ihe not Posedly edible condition, according
irmly fair but ample. And some of tha to extension workers of the Ohio unl-
'Ohio coal retailers are in tne saui'j
boat Speaking of this a Richmond coal man says that were, he doing business In Ohio, he would charge and get a fair profit or quit the coal business, or at least would not eell any coal on which the margin didn't pay the fu!l cost of doing business. He says that the Ohio ruling fixing supposedly "fair" prices are often unfair to the Tetailer, who has his own problems to solve and bills to pay. Can't Satisfy All Well, brethren, this is a moot question. It Dresents an economic nrob-
Jem which all may discuss and which
'none can solve to, the satisfaction of
nne enure people, ine attempts 01 (boards of control to regulate coal sales !and distribution in the cities will very 'naturally cause friction; that also be'lng true as to state commissions and their recommendations. Just now the country elevator buyer 3s paying the price at the mine or he. Bsn't getting the coal. Having paid the price and paid the freight he figures that the coal belongs to him, which isn't to be denied. On that Fbasis he considers his time and investment worth so much and charges accordingly, so as to get out with a whole kin and enough cash in the strong box o.buy the baby a dress, all of which Is lawful and according to Hoyle. 50 Families Get Coal. As we figure it 60 families in the Boston section got a little Blue Dia
mond, Kentucky coal, last week, all
out of the same big car. The man in
charge of the Farmers' National Grain
association elevator at Boston divided
Jt. around in ton lots, he says, so that
It would go as faras possible. The rprice charged was 1J0 per ton at the
car and the way that load melted away was a good indication of the
coming winter demand.
The elevator at West Manchester
says they have been receiving both Ohio and Yellow Jacket coal of late, and sold the different grades at $9 and
$10. The manager of the elevator further says that they have a liberal mpply of first class coke, "about walnut size," which they are selling at $12 per ion. -This coke, he says, has been in stock for three months and that it has given the best of satisfaction, large lots of it having been distributed around. A 50-odd ton car of Kentucky Blue Diamond coal arrived at Fountain City early on Monday and was so warmly welcomed that it was unloaded and away the same evening. When a car of coal strikes a country point, and the farmers who have orders in are notified by phone, there is mighty little
show for the railroads to collect demurrage. Farmers who did their hauling direct from the car got this coal at $9.75. At present prices for wheat and soft coal it is taking from tV2 to 11 bushels of wheat to buy one ton of soft coal at country points, depending on the day's wheat market and the kind of coal boupht. Wood at $22 Per Cord. Of course wheat is worth more in New England than on western farms, but even so we must remember that wood is also more costly in New England cities than here at home. As a
matter of fact it is recorded that first Unality hard stovewood brought up to
versity. It further develops that this
fruit was canned by the cold pack method, and that, too, 64 years ago. The fame of these peaches recently reached Washington, as also has the fame of some 25-year-old bottled maple syrup and of a gallon jug of boiled cider, the history of which has been accurately kept for over 70 years. All of these culinary trVisures are found in the home of the Carters in Miami county. It appears that Mrs. Joel Carter canned , the peaches from her backyard orchard in September, 1S68, and that she still has the cans. Mrs. Carter told her story to the United States department of agricul
, ture not long since, and from Wash
ington the story got back to the Ohio U. Our farm women may be interested in knowing Mrs. Carter's explanation of the simple process. She says she placed the peaches in the jars, poured in cold water until the peaches were covered: then cooked
the fruit in a wash boiler.'containing
just enough water to reach the mouth of ihe jars. Immediately on removal
rrom tne not water, tne jars were
closed with ground glass stoppers and
sealed with old fashioned sealing wax.
Mrs. Carter has a quart glass jar of
plums which she put up in the same manner 30 years ago, and which still
look good enough to eat. Grain Prices in 1921
Just at this time it is interesting to note that prices on wheat, corn and oats are higher than on this date last year. Taking the figures for Saturday last, as compared with the same date
in 1921, we find that December wheat
was seven cents, o"in 20 cents and oats fully nine cents higher than on the corresponding date last year. This
refers to the price range of the Decem
ber options only, all the other options
being relatively in line. Corn made a gain of 17 cents from the low of
this season and wheat advanced 17
cents from the low during the late
bulgers, both on the December deliv
ery.
In view of these facts the grain farmer may readily admit that he is
better off than he thought, unless he
sold at the bottom of the early depress'
ion. The grain markets are all ruling steady to strong and corn specialists
in particular are looking for higher
prices. Wheat has a host of friends
and as the large stocks are in strong hands at market centers it is expected
that cash grain will continue to bring a fair premium over the December op
tion, at least until that deal is close to
a culmination.
The jnovement of old corn is the largest at this time in the past five years and the actual movement of the
new crop is still weeks away. Some
new corn has been contracted for at
Chicago, delivery to be made in middle
December and on to the end of the
month. State Egg-Laying Contest
Beginning November 1. the Indiana certified egg-laying contest will be
staged for tbe second time at Brazil
The contest runs until the end of October, 1023 and the certifying this year is to be done under the auspices of Purdue, thus making the contest "official'' for the first time. The Liogue Vue egg farm, located three miles west of Brazil, on the Old Trails highway
will be the scene of the contest
The contest will be open to any en

Andrew Bonar Law. Andrew Bonar Law, taking up the British premiership laid down by David Lloyd George, faces many grave questions. The British war debts, including those doe the United States, alone presents a problem. The Russian policy ia still undecided. The formation of the Irish free ttate will reduce the next house of commons from over 700 members to over 600 and this change, with what new faces the genera elections will bring, will give Law a strange under house to work with.
Urant and Purdue will certify all laying
recoras rrom the farm. The contest re
ally originated by the poultry club,
formed of fanciers around Brazil. New buildings, equipped with lighting apparatus and every sanitary convenience have been erected, and the plant is conveniently located with reference
to steam and traction line facilities,
and is, moreover, in the heart of one
of the most rapidly growing poultry 1
districts In the country.
Recommendations of Purdue university shall govern' the management and feeding of the birds. All contest eggs shall be sold on the market and the proceeds turned over to the treasurer of the organization for defraying te expense of the contest. In case of the death of a layer the owner shall be notified immediately and if the alternate has not been used it shall be supplied immediately. Definite directions have been made for the care of sick and broody hens and. the keeping of records for them. The total number of egg3 obtained from the pen shall be divided by five for obtaining the average for the entire period. All records will be published monthly in the newspapers, poultry magazines and farm publications. Members of the department of rural
economics in Ohio have made a study
of prices paid for wheat at Toledo and Cincinnati, daily, over a period of 10
years. This was done to discover, if possible, the most advantageous time
for the Ohio farmer to sell his wheat, and if best to sell at harvest or to
store and carry lor a better price

the Ohio university. It will be observed that neither Toledo or Cincinnati are "speculative" markets, and the report is based strictly on cash wheat quotations. The report follows:
"In the long run, it makes little.dif-
ference when you sell your wheat To
store it against a rise in the market is by no means as advantageous as is generally thought.
"Members of the department of rural
economics at the Ohio State university
come to this opinion after a close
study of wheat price levels on the To
ledo and Cincinnati markets. J. I. Fal
coner, head of the department, reports
tbe findings.
"Daily wheat prices on the Toledo
market for 10 years shows an average
fluctuation of only 9.9 cents a bushel
between the low price, touched during
the first half of August, and the high
price, reached during the first half of
January.
"On the Cincinnati market for the
same period of years, the correspond
ing range was only 10.1 cents.
"On both markets, and on all others
where we have studied prices, the last
half of July and the first half of Aug
ust will brine wheat's lowest price
while January or June are usually the
months of the highest quotations.
"With a variation of only 10 cent3 in the average year, it is a question
whether holding wheat will pay a profit
over storage costs, the shrinkage, and
the hauling over bad winter roads."
