GUAIZi PRICES

(Markets bv Lamson Bros. & Co.. 212 Union National Bank Building.) CHICAGO. 111.. Jan. 13. Trade was very dull and prices fluctuated within a narrow range. Closing figures showed fractional gains for July and September wheat, and other grains were practically unchanged. The deferred months in wheat gained because of continued dry weather in the southwest and their relative cheapness compared with the May delivery. No export business in wheat was confirmed, although it was reported that Germany bought rye over Sunday offers and that some business was put through commission houses. Trade in corn was very light and it took little local buying to recover the early loss. Although receipts were light for Monday, there was no snap to the demand. Oats followed largely the course of other grains. Country advices indicate that if cars were obtainable receipts would show a decided increase, as farmers are satisfied with prevailing corn prices. In the face of a lower opening in hogs, provisions ruled steady with export business in lard fairly large. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building.)

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

COMMERCIAL. FEEDS Word comes from Indianapolis that the legislative committee of the farm bureau is intent on having a commer cial feed law enacted, the new law to materially increase the minimum standard or more stringent regulations for the labeling of feedstuff containers, and for the-placing of a ban on non-resident manufacturers, to prevent them from dumplug inferior feeding products on the Indiana markets. This bill is to have the backing of the "farmers' bloc" in the general assembly, and the preparation of the proposed measure got under way last Friday. It is now understood that the feeding stuff bill will be presented in both houses of the legislature at the same time and at once be pushed through the committees by the agricultural strength in the assembly. A number of cattle breeders' associations met at Purdue last week in annual sessions. New officers and directors were elected in many instances and in the case of the Holstein-Fries-ian association there was practically a complete reorgaization. with Charles Weidener, of South Bend as president. C. W. Newman, of Culver, was elected vice-president, and B. B. Morgan, of Chesterton, secretary-treasurer. The membership fee was reduced to $3 and plans were made ior an activV campaign for the organizations of county associations. C. V!. Richards, Oaklandon, was named president of the Ayreshire association; and W. O. Mills, of Mooresville, was elected president of the Indiana Guernsey breeders. The Indiana Jersey Cattle club will not elect officers until its March meeting at Indianapolis, but a number of club members spent the week at Purdue and held meetings. Seventy-five counties were represented on the enrollment sheets during the week. 300-Pound Cream Club. Twenty additional names of Indiana dairymen were enrolled in the 300pound cow club at Purdue, last week. This is the largest number obtained in any single year. The club is open to dairymen having 10 or more animals that produced 300 or more pounds of butter fat each in 1122, and so on from year to year. The Purdue herd heads the list and won a gold medal for an average pro duction of 497.1 pounds of butter fat. I Fifteen cows were below 400 pounds and eight above 400. The number of sows bred to farrow during the first six months of 1923 will bp 13 percent more than the number of sows which actually farrowed in the spring of 1922, provided farmers states the survey shows an intention to breed 15.6 percent more sows than a year ago.

The spring pig crop of 1922 in the southern states was about the same as in 1921. Comparisons tor other states are not available.

If spring calves are to be finished as baby beeves, they should be taught to eat grain before they are weaned. They should go into the dry lot at the end of the pasture season and be ready for market by June or July. If possible, they should have good pasture for a couple of weeks after weaning. Fall-born calves should be kept on grain when they are turned on pas ture in the spring. The quantity of grain should be gradually increased throughout the summer and fall so that they will be finished for market in December or January. When the pasture falls, hay and silage should be supplied. t Stocker calves require some meal or grain durin their first winter to keep them thrifty and growing. .They can utilize to advantage much more roughage, such as stalk fields, meadowrs, silage and straw than baby beeves.

i i .1.:- tT . ; delegates, who never walk, having ample money to buy cars. Subsolling Doesn't Pay. The general ponular belief inutile value of deep tillage and subsolling for increasing cron yields, is due for a setback; especially the idea of sub-! soiling. Admittedly deep plowing is good practice, but whether it pays to. dynamite or subsoil by machinery is entirely another matter. Experiments were conducted on a flat Missouri prairie soil that was sour of;no the essential plant foodsnitrogen, pnospnorus anu poiassium. On one plot a low trade dynamite was set-off in one-half stick charges 40

it would taken 10 years to pay for the blasting, to say nothing of intVrest on the investment. But the effects do not last that long, and the increase in production does not hold out, for the soils soon return to the same condition as before the dynamiting. What Tests Proved. Subsoiling, in general, has not been a paying treatment, thought it may give some increases in a few cases. The majority of experiments have reported it to lessen the crop. In Illinois eight years of subsoiling with various fertility treatments decreased the yield of corn 2.7 .bushels per acre. Mississippi grew les corn on dynamited than on undynamited soil.' Trials of various kinds by the United States denartment of agriculture at 12 places in the Great Plains for an average of five and one-half years and four to seven crops per place showed either no effect or a detrimental effect in all cases except one, and there the benefts were too small to pay the cost of treatment. That subsoil;g does not overcome drought is. quite evident, and that it won't pay is now a well-known truth. To Sell 100,000,000 Bushels. Six co-operative organizations representing 10 wheat growing stares met at Minneapolis a few days ago and formed the largest co-operative wheat sales agency in the world. The neworganization is known as the American Wheat Growers' association. And what of its sales plan, do you ask? The new plan provides that the "farmers represented will accept the average prices received for their wheat during: the year, for the grade of wheat de

livered." Here the new co-operative i I gets down to bed rock. Certain ad-jf vances will be made on receipt of the!

- crop' but in'i settitmenth w ill depend j on average prices while the crop is be-i ing disposed of. The new concern promises to market 100,000,000 bu. of , wheat in 1923. and more later on. This experiment will be watched with great interest, both at home and abroad. Fights Packer Control Law. Senator Fernald. of Maine, made a speech in the senate last week in which he denounced the packer control act as "a miserable failure" and urged that, an item of $410,000 be stricken from the agricultural appropriation bill. "Why talk about economizing." exclaimed the senator, "when we appropriate such a large sum for useless purposes. Every dollar expended under this packers act is wasted, and its enforcement has not helped the farmers one iota." The.'senator continued hy saying, that: "Instead of constantly inl erf erring
