THETtlCHMOND PALLADIUM

Hie Farm and By William R. ANTHRACITE COAL The owners of baseburners who have been anxious as to supplies of hard coal have been partially relieved of late, but this is only In spots, as several elevators report being -unable to get hard coal for "love Jior money" until around Dec. 1. The pressure for coal for lake shipment, as well as the eastern demand from those who depend altogether on anthracite, explains this condition. The report from the Efkenberrr elevator at Camden, on Friday, was to the effect that they had been able to meet the demand for soft coal right along, of late, but that not a single car of anthracite had come in, nor was any expected until after Dec. L They raid they were advised from the mines that some hard coal would be shipped them on the first of next month, and that they could not promise to ship a day earlier than that. The Eikenberry folks were Trying $1.20 for wheat on Friday, and 55 cents for new corn at 70 pounds to the busheL Several farmers have wheat stored in their, different elevators, it was said, and that some are now selling on the advances. The manager of the Green's Fork elevator was bidding $1.18 for wheat on Saturday forenoon and paying 55 cents for new corn, some of which is coming in daily now. They are pret ty well supplied with coal at Green s Fork lust now, having some Indiana at $6.50, and both Kentucky and West Virginia coals m their bins, priced at around $10 per ton. While it is true that orders for anthracite were placed weeks and weeks ago, said Mr. Marlindale, "we are unable to guess when the first car will arrive." He says that the Indiana coal at $6X0 is giving satisfaction. Hard Coal at Lynn A car of chestnut anthracite arrived at Lynn on Thursday afternoon and is selling at $17.50. This seems Just an ordinary occurrence, until you learn that this is the third car of bard coal to be received reccrtly at Lynn, while many much larger Indiana towns have been unable to get a single car this season. The manager of the elevator at that point said that he was glad to see this third car, as were numerous folks who did not get in on the first arrivals. The flour mill at Lynn was paying $1.18 for wheat; 75 cents per cwt. for corn, and 38 cents for oats, on Friday. Dropping down from Lynn a few miles you reach Fountain City, one of the local towns which doesn't seen, to get in correct touch with the anthra cite coal magnates; at least the elevator at that point hasn't received a car of hard coal so far this season. Just now the manager of the Fountain City elevator is looking for a car of Kentucky coal,(also a car of coke, both of which should be on track not later than Monday, he said, as he has way bills for them. He further hopes that one car of chestnut anthracite may come in soon, as letters have been received from the mine regard ing shipments. The car of Kentucky coal will be billed at $9 75 from the car and $10.25 delivered in town. Mr. Hockett said that the car of Kentucky coal received a week ago contained 54 tons, and was unloaded into farm wagons inside of 8 hours. ! Eldorado Has Coal E. V. McClure of Eldorado says they marked up wheat to $1.25 on Friday afternoon, and had mill bids to cover at a profit,, should they care to ship. He further stated that they had quite a lot of wheat in store, much of it brought considerably below present market prices. He has been paying 83c per cwt. for corn during past few days and says some of the farmers are now selling. He reported a car of Kentucky coal on the .switch on Friday, which was being taken by farmers direct from the car at $10 per ton. There is a car of chestnut anthracite now rolling toward Eldorado, which Mr. McClure says will be sold for $15 a ton at the car. This is the lowest quotation on this grade of hard coal that we have learned of the present season. Farmers have no complaint to make

the Fanner Sanborn as to the weather this fall, excent that it has been rather dry for wheat and winter rye, or was up to the rainfall of last Monday. Having had weeks of the best kind of weather for corn husking, shredding, and -baling straw an of this work may now be said to nave oeen cleared up. or nearly so- ; vommercul Seed Crops. The aggregate Drodar-tirm nf Tpnv table seeds this year is estimated to be considerably larger than in 192L wua iew exceptions the yields per acre we re .satis factory. The outstaading Increases Jn the production over that of last year are as follows: Dwarf snap beans, 120 per cent; garden peas, 75 per cent; sweet corn, 100 per cent; garden beet and lettuce, 150 per cent; cabbage, carrot, kale, and parsnip, 50 per cent; watermelon, 60 per cent; parsley, radish, and tomato, 100 per cent; onion seed, 25 per cent; onion sets, 10 per cent; cucumber, 15 per cent Watermelon seed production exreeds the minion pound mark for the first time in history. The production of salsify increased 200 THr rant in 14,700 pounds, or about one-half the nve year avenure, and of spinach 1.100 per cent to 318,000 pounds, of about two-thirds the five year averageMarked increases also are noted in the production of mangel beet .and bweae turnip, being 101,700 pounds and 45,800 pounds, respectively, com pared with a negligible quantity last year. A few crops, however, show a greatly reduced production from that of last year, and of the five year average. Among these, and perhaps of greatest importance, is sugar beet seed, the production of which is reported to be only 1.056,000 pounds compared wit'i 2,575,000 pounds in 1921 and the five year average of 5,604.000 pounds. Sweet Clover Prices Up. Prices offered to growers of sweet clover seed advanced 50c-$l per 100 pounds in important producing sections during the last three weeks of October. The average prices paid to growers on Oct. 31 were $5-$6 per 100 pounds for country-run and $6-$7 for re-cleaned seed. These also were the prices that prevailed in Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, and Minnesoto. Wants Bars Let Down. "The farmer has been sentimentally in favor of the restriction of immigration, and most members of the agricultural bloc voted for our present immigration law. Under the law more laborers have left the country in the past year than have come in. It is largely because of the immigration law that the wages of labor ar nearly twice the pre-war at a timewnen farm products are selling so low that the return to the farmer s less than pre-war wages." Thus says the editor of Wallace's Farmer, in an article supposedly inspired by Secretary Wallace, though possibly not At any rate, the editor is in favor of letting down the bars, and the bringing In of labor. On this subiect he continues as follows: "With the situation as it now is, it is common sense policy for the United States to encourage intelligent, able bodied laborers to come to this coun try to work in our steel mills and coal mines, to labor on our highways, and to help in maintaining our railroad rights of way. These people will fur nisa a good market, close at home, lor our farm products. The ultimate re sult of letting more laborers come in to the United States should be to help to bring farm products and city products more nearly in balance with each other. "We believe that organized farmers should take an active part in securing the passage of a new immigration law unless city labor turns a new leaf and becomes 60 productive that city products are again brought down to a parity with farm products." Opinions Will Differ This subject of restricted immigration was threshed out in congress and the present law was the result. It is hardly probable that the argument adduced by the writer quoted will have Now Comes the

Ross Focht was elected senior warden; Clyde Acton, Junior warden; Ed. B. Gray, senior deacon; Oakley Flory, Junior deacon: Robert Cox, secretary; U. J. Pollen berger. treasurer; Willard Young, tyler; C. J. Hunter, U. J Poffenberger and H. L. Rlsinger, trustees. Partition of two farms in Twin town shin, one of 80 acres" and the other 30 acres, was ordered Friday by Judge Rlsinger jn common p'eas court. The partition actions were brought by Horace E Ozias. He averred he and Harry O. McWhinney and Susan K. Swartzel each owns a one-third interest in the 80 acres, and that he owns two thirds of the 30 acres and Mc Whinney owns the other thirdJudgment for $132.50 on an account was awarded John Conrad against A. D. Davis in common pleas court. Davis was not in court to defend the action, and Judgment was awarded. W. S. Fogarty, of" Eaton, superintendent of Preble county district schools, addressed a father-son banquet Friday evening in Richmond, Ind , In Second Presbyterian church. The Rev. W. H. Martin, of Dayton, gave an address Friday nighfr at the thank offering services In the Chris tian church. Mrs. Zulu Cox, of Eaton, gave a monologue and a men's quartet sang. The Rev. Hiley Baker, pastor of Christian church, will preach a special sermon Sunday morning on any effect upon the matter, or that any changes will result, or would resuit if the farmers acted as advised. Neither is it at all certain that tb farmers, as a class, would be at all benefited by increased immigration. We are unable to hand-pick those we want in, or who would come in If the bars were let down. It would be the undesirables who would Jump at tbe chance to come over here, and thLs would be the class the foreign nations would be the quickest to get rid of. We do not believe that the idea advanced by the Iowa editor will havo any weight with farmers or with farm organizations, at least not in present circumstances. S3S Phone 1925

TEAMWORK OF SONS. 1 FATHERS IS BIG NEED "If the father and the son will Join together, the world will be bettered, but if not, nothing can be done," declared Bishop William McKendxee Brackney, , district superintendent of the western Ohio conference, Delaware, Ohio, in his talk before the 108 fathers and sons at the Grace M. E. Father and Son banquet Friday night "Over in Ohio, we have a football team which has not yet been defeated this year. They may meet their waterloo, but when they do they will have met a team which worked together with better unison. This team works as one unit. Each, man is but a cog of the great machine which has' swept the opposition before It. "Fathers and son should Join together in team work if they expect to accomplish anything. If the father neglects his son, the boy wilt be conscious of the fact that he is missing something. Every son should have the comradeship and appreciation of his father." The sympathy of the father Is the when he is striving for a better education. If you fathers can't help your son through his education in a financial way, help him with encouraging words and get under him and push him on through." In conclusion. Bishop Brackney said that the comradship of father and son was the big thing which the world needed today to elevate conditions.
