COUNTRY GRAIN PRICES For several days the price of wheat at country elevators has been stabilized at around $1.25, although here and there late in December the price was advanced to $1:30, that being true in Richmond. But the price soon dropped back to J 1.25, which is the prevailing figure at this time. The only point on the local map where the present bid for wheat is bove the $1.25 Line, so far as we know, is Camden, where the elevator price was given at $1.2S on Thursday. At the same time, Milton reported paying $1.28 for the last wheat taken in and a bid of $1.25 for wheat on the day's market. As to corn it is mostly going at $1 per cwt.. or 6Sc per bushel, just now. Very few points are doing any shipping out of corn, elevators simply buying to supply the local and feeding demand. At one country station the manager of the elevator reports that feders come in and haul away corn about as fast as he can take it in. Speaking generally, it may be said that corn is in a stronger position than wheat; also that oats have plenty of support. 'What may or may not happen io wheat depends more particularly on world conditions and the ability of foreigners to pay for the wheat and flour ihey need, much of which has been contracted for and not yet shipped. Much of this grain is still in western elevators awaiting cars to speed it to the coast. Camden reports a fair amount of corn moving, but not in quantities to ship. Tho, Eikenberry elevator at
Camden is now paying 65 cents per bushel for corn, much of which they are grinding and mixing into feedstuffs. These folks have a large elevator at Hamilton, where they sell a lot of grain and mixed feeds to both town and country customers. Not a srreat deal of wheat is now coming into Camden and to stimulate offerings the elevators there are bidding $1.28 per busheL Have Plenty cf Coal There is no scarcity of coal at Camden just now, and that seems to be true of soft coal all over this section. But to get hard coal is another matter. After months of waiting a single car of anthracite arrived at the Eikenberry elevator a few days ago. It was claimed to be a. fine article and the fact that it was offered at $15 per ton direct from the car is rather noteworthy. Town customers paid $15.50 delivered. The Milton Grain company are paying 68 cents for corn, and are getting enough for local demand, only. Asked as to the coal situation the manager stated that they have a liberal supply of soft coal but have not been able to .secure a single car of anthracite during this entire season. He states that he has some good Pocahontas coal which he has been selling at $10 at the car, also various soft coal ranging down to $7 and up to $10.50. His statement is to the effect that farmers around Milton declared themselves on Hie coal proposition last fall and voted almost to a man to burn wood, as most of them are doing. This means that the rural demand lor coal around Milion, Bentonville and Beeson's Station has been badly cut down this w-inter, as compared with nominal years. All uooil soft coals are still held firm and
the opening high fuel prices have not been cut more than 25 cents a ton, the Milton buyer says. Hard Coal at Lynn. The I,ynn elevatorreports having ref ived two cars of hard coal so far this season and say that the third car is now on the way. Deliveries have been made to the townsfolk at $17.50. Most of the wheat around Lynn has long since been disposed of. The flour mill is taking in a little corn at 93 cents per hundred, and is bidding $1.25 for wheat. There is a liberal supply of soft coal in Lynn, nor has there been any great scarcity since cold weather set in. The Equity elevator at Eaton is taking in some wheat almost daily at $1.25 and the manager says there is quite a little of it still on the farms. He is
paying $1 per cwt., for corn, simply to supply the town demand and that of such feeders as may tome in for it. He has not been able to get any hard coal at all, but has a good supply of bituminous at different prices. Farm Dues $15 Yearly. If you live in Illinois and are a member of the I. A. A. you are paying $15 per year annual dues. More than that you have most likely signed three
notes of $15 each, payable at your
home bank at set dates, to the order ot the Illinois Agricultural association. This large annual fee has provided a
tremendous fund for the support of a big state office at Chicago and for carrying on the work of the farmers'
association, locally and in a state-wide way.
The I. A. A. antedates the American farm bureau by several years, for on
Wednesday the eighth annual meeting was opened at Chicago. About a thous
and farmers were present and 600 or
more sat down to the banquet at the
Morrison hotel on Wednesday evenin
The Illinois farmers were out in force, says Frank Ridgway, "to overhaul the list of officers from the president down
to the executive committee. As proot of this it is said that nine new members will be put on the executive committee of 15. Howard Leonard, president for three years, and who made a fight for re-election, received 77 votes against 99 for Samuel Thompson, of Quincy. A. O. Eckert, of Beeleville, was elected vicepresident at the opening session. Dean Mumford, of the Illinois university,
and C. Larsen, the new dean ot the South Dakota State college, -frere the principal speakers at the meeting. Mr. Leonard, retiring president, claimed that the I. A. A. had saved the farmers of Illinois half a million dollars in land taxes this year, through their activities. He advocated that the farmers bring pressure on the legislature for the enactment of a law compelling the Chicago Board of Trade to give grain growers' sales agencies seats up
on the board. Ex-Governor Frank O. Lowden, himself a big farmer and stock raiser, and O. E. Bradt'ute. president of the American farm bureau, addressed the diners at the banquet. In his address before the convention Dean Mumford called attention to the rapid changes now taking place in agriculture and said that it was becoming more than ever important that the state college and the farm associations should work hand in hand. Indiana Grain Dealers. At the twenty-first annual meeting of the Indiana Grain Dealers' association at Indianapolis this week Elmer Hutchinson, of Arlington, was chosen president, and E. K. Stewart, of Crown Point, vice-president. Charles B. Riley and Bert A. Boyd, both of Indianapolis, were re-elected secretary and treasurer, respectively. An expert who has regard for pork values warns against making injections in the ham or shoulder when immunizing hogs against cholera. He says such treatment lowers the value of the ham or shoulder, and that the serum should be applied in the flank or between the forelegs. County Agent Dolan and President Hunt of the farm bureau will be the
speakers at the Greene township meet
ing of farmers on Saturday evening. Among the important matters to come up will be that of "county unit" schools. D. P. Miller was elected president, D. P. Albright vice-president, and A. E. Chenoweth, secretary-treasurer at the farm bureau annual meeting at Hollansburg the other night. R. C. Smith, agricultural agent for Darke county, was present and outlined a proposed
program of farm bureau work in the
county for the present year, boil test
ing for acidity, the beef calf club and co-operative marketing of butterfat and tobacco w-erc among the subjects discussed. A Washington letter from the office of the secretary of agriculture sets forth a few facts of great interest to co-operators, as follows: "Evidence

COUSIN OF SPANISH KING ARRIVES IN NEW YORK NEW YORK. Jan. 19. The list of royalty now in the United States was augmented Thursday when Princess DeBourbon, first cousin of the king
of Spain, accompanied by Countess LaCousinere of Florence. Italy, arrived on the steamship President Polk, The princess and her companion are on their way to Florida, preliminary to a tour of the United States. (
that the tremendous impetus given cooperative agricultural marketing in the United States in recent months is part of a world-wide co-operative movement, springing from a desire for a better agriculture, has been brought back from Europe by Chris L. Christensen, agricultural economist, where he made a study of agricultural economic onditions for the department of agriculture. Mr. Christensen studied economic conditions in 11 European countries. During his stay in Denmark he met agricultural .economists from ail
over the world who had been delegated
to study the co-operative methods of
the Danish farmer.
"The sound, economic organization
on which the new agricultural indus
try of Denmark the most highly organized agricultural industry in the
world has been built in the last 40
years is the result of the co-operative ideals practiced by the Danish farmer," Mr. Christensen says. "The agricultural producers there have brought new prosperity to the whole Kingdom through the efficiency of their co-oper
ative enterprises in production, quality of production and distribution." The rapid rise of the Danish bacon industry to its pre-war level in the latter half of 1922 is attributed by Mr. Christensen to co-operative endeavor. "Some of the greatest strides in dairying in northern Europe the last decade, have been made in Finland through the production of standardized, quality dairy products. Payment on a quality basis for. whole milk delivered Has been introduced, and is a
common practice in the co-operative j
