SEPARATION OF CORN SCHOOL AND DISPLAY
TENTATIVELY PLANNED Separation of the instruction course and the exhibits display and of the men's and women's departments of the Richmond farmers short course and corn and domestic science show, was tentatively agreed upon in a discussion by the general committee at the courthouse Tuesday night. It is expected that the Coliseum will be used for the men's instruction and St Mary's Community house for the women. A two day's short course will be followed by one day for the com and domestic science show, during which the placing of the awards will be explained by the judges. The shows will be open in the evening for the accommodation of city spectators, many of whom were disappointed by failure to provide for them last year. Arrange Schools A series of corn Judging schools is
being arranged by Agricultural Agent
J. L. Dolan, with the assistance of Joe
Helms, for all communities requesting them. The two men will visit-com
munities and discuss samples of corn
submitted by local corn growers, giv
ing a demonstration of methods of selecting show corn. By this training it is believed that the growers will better be able to select prize winning exhibits. Several communities already
have asked for the schools.
Members of the committee who at
tended the meeting Tuesday night were J. L. Dolan. Charles F. Williams, George Brehm, W. D. Scott, E. L. Bills, Charles Weadick, Paul James, Mrs. Charles Williams, Mrs. J. L. Dolan,
Mrs. W. D. Scott and Mls3 Stella Har-

A diamond ring, lost six years ago, was found by Mrs. Jane Crabb in the front yard at her home In this city. The , stone was not damaged. i
THANKSGIVING BIRDS . Just how much farm women who have a few turkeys to sell will get for them is uncertain, it depending on the last minute buyer and the ages of the birds. Turkeys are hard to buy, said one market man this morning, but we now have a fair supply and are quoting them at 65 cents for young toms or hens and 60 cents per pound for old ones. We Judge that these will be the prevailing prices for Thanksgiving turkeys, dressed.
"Geese and ducks are now offered at
25 centi alive and 35 cents a pound dressed, and of these there Is a more liberal supply."
. A review of current prices for dressed turkeys at Indianapolis shows that market to now, be on a parity with our own, and -that the Thanksgiving bird will cost the eame there as here. The first turkeys of the season made their appearance at market stalls over there this week, along with geese, ducks, and game, such as rabbits, opossums and raccoons, freshly killed and dressed. The game is mostly displayed by hunters at curb stand3. Judging by the price of chickens on foot, the dressed article will be (and Is) much cheaper this year than last. Orders have been booked for Thanksgiving dinner turkeys here in Richmond, for some time, but not priced. Those whose hearts are Bet on turkey and must have it, simply insured one, regardless of cost. The supply of seasonable fruits and vege
tables is ' very large and prices are
most reasonable. Tom Edison's Story. Thomas A. Edison, says the Christan Advocate, has one pet yam, 'which he never tires of repeating:
A man from the country came to
town and put up at a first class hotel
He went to the office and asked the
clerk what were the times of the
meals.
"Brealcfast, 7 to 11," answered the
clerk;, "lunch, 11 to 3; tea, 3 to 6; dinner, 6 to 8; and supper, 8 to 12."
"What?" shouted the visitor, "when am I going to get time to see the
town?" No, Mr. Edison did not say the gen
tleman was a farmer; simply that he was "from the country," leaving the state he hailed from and his business
when at home, to the "guess" of the! hearer. In a Joint conference held recently at Chicago, 19 fertilizer manufacturers approved the proposal of the Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Missouri agronomists to recommend a certain number of fertilizers exclusively. In the list were 11 different analysis for mineral soils, as .follows: 0-12-6; 0-14-14; 2-12-2; 2-12-4; 2-12-6, and 2-16-2. For organic soils but four combinations were recommended: These were 0-8-24; 0-10-10, or 0-12-2 and 2-8-16. In the opinion of the agronomists
this list is adequate to meet the needs of all farmers in the states mentioned. It is believed that in thus concentrating the farmers will ventually eliminate from the market a number of low analysis fertilizers at a material sav
ing in cost. .
Wheat and Flour Tariff. It now appears, says the Chicago Tri
bune, that "the order prohibiting imports of Canadian wheat and flour it
is learned applies only to Canadian
flour. Wheat can be imported under
the new tariff bill and the duty paid.
ine trade was mixed over the situa
tion and reports from Washington failed to make it real clear otherwise.
Canadian wheat is relatively higher
tnan American, while considerable feed and screenings are said to have
been imported of late and sold at dis
counts of $5 to $6 per ton. Millers
and grain men here say the ruling evi
dently applied to this as under the anti-dumping law Imports can be excluded when they sell at lower prices than the home grown product. Treasury officials at Washington didn't regard the ruling as important. It was said that there will be no difficulty on imports based on fair market value, and such imports can continue. The ban will be lifted as soon as suspicion is removed. European Situation. Mr. A. T. Martin, of the Bartlett-Fra-zier company of the Chicago Board of Trade, and who has just returned from Europe, says that the grain situation over there is serious. He says that the heavy rains at harvest badly damaged the crops in the United Kingdom, France and the continent. "Restaurants in Paris have large placards displayed demanding careful conserva
tion of the bread supply, and no waste. Financial conditions seriously complicate the buying of the necessary flour and grain." The shntr nut nn hv thA Western
Ohio Poultry Fanciers club,, to .be held at Eaton, December 4 to 10. will be held in the basement of the Preble county court house, will be kepfopen
on ounaay, ana win - oner premiums for both brown. and white eggs. Admission will be free. ' "
' The Illinois Agricultural aasorlattnn
placed orders for 80 cars of potatoes this year against 120 cars a year ago. Due to the large' home grown crop this
season iewer orders jor potatoes were placed by the farmers. Creamery Co-op. Succeeds. , More than a million dollars worth of dairy products were supplied to the 30,000 members and patrons of the
Franklin Co-operative Creamery asso
ciation at Minneapolis, during the first eight months of this year. This creamery is owned and operated by the consumers, and has given them a first class article at a saving of seven percent on $1,041,274, which has been returned to them in rebates. The company has more than 5,000 shareholders and serves 25,000 families and members of the association.. It began business in March 1891 with 18 trucks and wagons. It now employs 85, and a new plant is being built to douWe output. When this is completed the co-operative dairy will supply the twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, with dairy DrOductS.
