GRAIN PRICES Otsrtets by Launson Bros. Co, 212 Union Js'atJanal Bank Eaildlng) CHICAGO, m. Not. 2. After an irregular izChge. "wheat closed at little ctangB tram yesterday. Other grains were atranger. Export fcuslnes3 Beem--ed to bo largely to Manitobas, which i resulted in relatively etronger values In Winnipeg than here. Milling demand "was reported as good in outside .markets. Scattered rain fell over the winter 'wheat belt encouraged some celling. Spreaders have been buyers of Winnipeg May against sales on Chitcago July. The feature In corn -was the farther strength in the December 'delivery, "which held & slight premium over May. The prospect is for a larger out-movement of corn and for little increase to receipts. Rye continues to show more strength than other grains, and the trade- has broadened very ma(teriaHy. We expect to see higher ' prices in fhe immediate future. A decrease of 13,000,000 pounds to local stocks of lard last month and a better tone in hogs brought about firmer market to provisions.

THE LEGHORN RECORD The women in farm homes will be interested in reading the rscord of egg production by what is now claimed to be the "champion egg-layer in America." The owner of this White Leghorn hen now values her at $2,000, and on this basis a setting of eggs would surely cost a lot of money. This hen. "Lady Jewell," completed a year's test in competition with tha pick of the various flocks and breads at the western Washington experiment station, on October 31. on which date it was found that she had laid 335 eggs in 365 days, a remarkable record. The former high record was 324 eggs in 12 months, so the telegram claims, but at Pullyup, Washington, in the contest just closed, ten other hens at that station laid more than 300 eggs

and one White Leghorn came pretty

riosA tn the winner, by laying

eggs. The widespread inierst in. egg and poultry production now insures that the records in egg-laying contests will be wired all over the country. Th latest nfferine of agricultural

experimentation is peanut milk. AU are familiar with peanut butter, but milk from peanuts is a generally unknown product. But we are assured

that peanut mux is a r?ua delicacy, also that it contains 12 times as much fat as does the ordinary milk of the breakfast table, and that it can be used for culinary purposes, just as cows' milk. The claim is that water tumbler full of shelled nuts will make one pint of milk. State Poultry Show For the past fifty years there has been an annual poultry show held at Indianapolis. The history of these shows and the story of the kind or r.viiiroV.c chnn. would make interest

ing reading for poultry growers, but it is doubtful that it will ever be written. But the progress in poultry culture, in housing, in breed improvement and egg production, in the past 50 vears, speaks for itself. This year the Breeders' and Fanciers' Poultry show at Indianapolis will be held earlier than usual, the dates heine- Xnvpmber 21 to 25. The idea

Joseph H. Hill Entertains

Children Of Voile School

Joseph H. Hill had more than 40 children, first grade pupils of Miss Margaret Mooney, Vaile school, as his guests Tuesday afternoon on his farm east of the city. Mothers of some of the children also were present The youngsters were transported to the farm b yautomobile by Mr. Hill. They were taken on an inspection tour over the farm and through the dairy in which the milking machines were going. Each chili was served milk to drink in bottles with straws and were treated to cookies, candy and other goodies. It was the first time some

of the children had ever visited a

farm.

is that this earlier winter showing will

enable breeders to dispose of surplus stock prior to mating up of their breeding pens for the spring season. Illinois Farmers Need Cars The report from Chicago is to the effect that the boxcar shortage "is creating a desperate situation among the farmers of Illinois." This is the statement of the Illinois Commerce commission which has appealed to the interstate commerce commission fer relief. The Illinois men sny that the country elevators are overflowing, and that

the farmers' bins and cribs are also

loaded, so that there is not sufficient room to store the season s crops. To aggravate the present critical situation, farmers in need of money are un

able to market the remnants of their 1921 crops, thus getting cash and making room for thope of this year. It is claimed that Illinois country elevators now contain 11.C00.O00 bushels

of grain against less than 4,000,000 one year ago. Advices from Buonos Aires indicate that the cattle men of the Argentines are fac'mg a crisis, so much so that

they have appealed to the state to nationalize and to go into the packing

business to stabilize prices of cattle and meats; also to control the packin . business of the country by legislation. "The tyrany of the nine big packing and export companies," was roundly denounced at a big meeting at whicii government action was demanded. The Wheat Rust War -Dr. E. C. Stakman, of the University of Minnesota, after spending five months in Europe, tells us that "after 100 years of war on the common barberry, western Europe is now p.lmost fre"e from black stem rust on wheat and other grains" He says that ir

France, Austria. Hungary. Germany

and Denmark the barberry was destoyed because of laws to that end, while English farmers took the matter into their own hand3 and practically wiped out the pest. Norway, Sweden and Bavaria now have laws on this subject ard the barberry bush is doomed in these countries. In Italy black rust is destructive only ir the mountains ard in northern Italy where there are barberries. Our own discovery that the common barberry is the cause of the blacl: rust in wheat is very recent. "' But some effective work of eradication has already been done and this will continue until this pest i3 pretty well wiped out in grain growing territory. In a recent address covering stock yards and Board of Trade legislation Secretary Wallace said: "For thirty years or more live stock producers have complained against the packers. They felt that the growth of the packing business, and especially of the few larger concerns gave them an opportunity to combine and control

live stock prices. For six or eight years bills were before congress de

signed to bring the packing business under government supervision. When congress met in the spring of 1921 it

took hold of this mater vigorously and

in August it passed the packers and stock yards act "This law brings the packing houses, the stock yards, the commission merchants and other stock yards agencies under the supervision of the Secretary of Agriculture. He can Investigate the manner in which the business is conducted, examine books, subpoena witnesses and require them to testify under oath. He can inquire Into the way live stock ia bought, handled, killed, and the

meat marketed. He can inquire into

the charges by commission merchants

and stock yards and determine wheth

er these charges are fair and just He can discipline firms and individuals who do not conform to fair rules and regulations. He can refuse to permit unfair charges. Under this law it will be possible to make a thorough study of the live stock business from the

time the live stock leaves the farms until the meat reaches the city wholesaler, and correct unfair practices at any point along the way. The depart

ment or agriculture now has a five

stock supervisor at each of the larger markets. It has district supervisors to look after a number of the smaller

stock yards and packing houses where

there is not enough business to justi-

iy me expense of a resident supervisor. Live stock shippers can go directly to these supervisors and report any improper practices or unfair treatment and be sure that their complaints will receive prompt attention.' Mexico City Stock Yards Mexico City is now to have a modern

stock yards, the first to be built In that country, and Americans are back of the enterprise. It is said that about 1,000 head of live stock is the daily kill for that city and that the bulk of the cattle is imported from the United States, or from Argentine. The new yards will adjoin the city slaughter pens and a working agreement provides that all the stock for city slaughter shall be received a the new yards.

Cold storage is unknown in Mexico, the natives preferring freshly killed

meats. The new stock yards will,

however install a cold storage plant

The Inauguration of the new stock yards is said by its backers to be the

forerunner of an earnest effort by

American stockmen to replenish the

Mexican herds, so badly depleted by

years of revolutionary warfare. A

branch of the Pure-bred Live Stock as

sociation of America has been estab

lished at Mexico City, for that pur pose. Ohio Seed-Wheat Ruling

Our Ohio readers who purchased wheat this year that was certified by

the Ohio seed improvement associa

tion, will be interested in the changes

to be made relative to wheat certifi

cation next year. According to secretary W. E. Hanger, beginning with the

1923 crop two district classes of seed

will be made. The highest class will

be known as registered seed while

the other class will be known as cer

tified seed.

The registered seed will have strict requirements as it is to be the source

of the seed to be inspected each year

after 1923. Not more than two-tenths

of one-percent of mixture with other varieties will be permitted and the seed to be registered must be abso

lutely free from cockle, cheat and oth

er noxious weeds as well as from stinking smut. It will have to come

up to a high standard so far as weight

per bushel is concerned and the condition must be first class in every re

spect.

Certified seed will be that with one

per cent or lss mixture. Other re
