The Farm and the Farmei By William R. Sanborn
TOBACCO SELLING FREELYThe cigar leaf growers In the Miami valley tobacco section-have marketed a great deal of leaf, of late, In fact there are spots where nothing but "trash" remains to he sold, is the report. This seems to be true around Eldorado, West Manchester and New Madison, for example, and even the "trash" is fast coming to market, mostly at two cents per pound. W. B. Eddins, of Eldorado, tells us that the leaf at these points is practically all sold and the greatest part of it has already been delivered. He says that not less than 5,000 cases have been taken in at these stations. Of these Mr. Eddins took in 1,000 cases at Eldorado one day this week. Following the leaf the "trash" quickly began to move and of this 50,000 pounds have been received at Eldorado, and around 35,000 pounds at West Manchester, so far, with all buying stations in the same boat. This almost unanimous selling indicates that growers are pleased with the price. Quinn and Son, of Eaton, assert that the leaf is practically all sold in that part of. Preble county, and say that farmers are well satisfied at the going price, which is 15 cents for seed leaf and around 18 cents for Little Dutch. Mr. Quin says that none of the latter is grown close to Eaton and that he was unable to buy that grade
this season, although he has taken in
a raft of tobacco. Trend of Prices. The Quin firm began by bidding 12 cents at the opening of the crop year, but say that comparatively little leaf was contracted fox on that basis. When the price struck 15 cents for Seed and 18 cents for Little Dutch, both crops began to move in volume
over quite a wide territory: Speaking of prices, W. B. Eddins quotes the top on Seed at 15 cents and on Uttle Dutch at 18 cents a pound, over his buying radius, thus agreeing with the quotations given out for most, if not 'all of th valley, bo far as reported. The principal buyers in Preble and Darke counties are the Lewis Newburg company and the General Cigar company Jthe latter concern being a buyer of cigar leaf , in every state where grown. Merchants in the tobacco districts say that the sales of leaf have eased the pressure for money and that the growers are seemingly well satisfied at the prices paid. Some tobacco buyers claim that the men who have paid 15 cents this. winter stand ready to contract the "crops they are to put in this spring, at the same figures. What has been said of the sales of the weed refers more particularly to the territory near Richmond.' The Miami valley produces a high-grade cigar leaf and the tobacco district embraces Montgomery, Miami, Preble, Darke, Warren, "Butler and Greene counties. To what extent the leaf has been marketed over the entire territory cannot now be stated. It is true, however, that a great deal of work has been done by the Ohio state and county farm bureaus looking toward pooling and selling tobacco co-operatively in the field under the name of the Mi
ami Valley Tobacco Growers' Co
operative association. Producers Now Leading The weekly news letter of the American farm bureau claims that the producersledLall the firms at the Chi
cago stockyards for the closing week
in January with totalsales of 317 cars
Of these cars 273 were hogs, 43 of cattle, and two of sheep. The stock
came from Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota. S. W. Doty, manager at the Chica
go yards, says that the last Thursday of the month was the banner day,
when 97 carloads came in. The producers, "he said; "topped the cattle market for that particular week, with a
car of 1,500-pound staers consigned by an Illinois feeder and which sold at $11.50. He designates their thirtysecond week in business as "trimuph week" because this was the week in which they took first position for the first time among the 100 commission concerns at the Chicago yards. The annual meeting of the Central Co-operative Commission association will be held at St. Paul on Feb. 14. This is not a "producers' " organization, but its dealings areon practically the same basis, so 'far as its sales for members are concerned. The Ohio farm bureau recently in
stalled Clarence S. Long as the new traffic manager, whose business it is to wrestle with the farmers' transportation problems anywhere in the state. Borrowed $224,301,400.
Loans aggregating $224,301,400, andl
numbering 74,055 were made by the twelve federal farm loan banks in 1922 according to the annual report of the farm loan board, just issued at Washington. Considering the vast volume of money loaned the number of borrowers seems small. "Thi3 i3 a very gratifying result." said the report, "but a feature much more gratifying to those charged with the administration of the bank system is that it represents a complete response to the borrowing demands upon the system and that it shows a steady and normal flow of business by months. Farm loan bonds 'to the value of $278,600,000 were sold, the report continued, and the difference between this total and the amount of the fund that was advanced through loans had been used to retire $70,150 000 bonds held by the treasury. This reduced the total of such bonds in ihe treasury to $112,885,000. Earnings of the banks for the year were placed at $5,692,694. State Poultry Show The fiftieth annual poultry show opened at Indianapolis on Wednesday and will close on Sunday night,, after a five-day session. The second annual cat show opeed . in the same hall on Friday morning, for a threeday run. Perhaps you are not aware of it but under the Indiana laws cats may not be confined for more than three days, and this limits the length of cat shows in this state. Three new breeds of poultry are
shown at Indianapolis this year for the first time. These are Lakenvelder chickens; a new variey perfected last year; the Black Jersey Giants, and the White Faced Black Spanish, one of the oldest of the Mediterranean breeds, but seldom 6hown in this country. There are 157 various classifications of poultry, from tiny bantams to Toulon geese and big bronze turkeys, awaiting awards. Co-operative Seed Exchange. An item in the Farm Bureau News Letter tells of the opening of a new seed exchange at Toledo, as follows:
"A fine example of co-operation between the state farm bureau is in evidence at Toledo, Ohio, where the Ohio
farm bureau federation and the Mich
igan state farm bureau have set up
a seed exchange for handling pure
seed of known origin and vitality
The first order for farm bureau seed
came from the Ohio experiment station at Wooster. The Butler county, Ohio, farm bureau placed an order for
a full car load of seed. The most Ira
portant seeds being handled by the exchange are alfalfa, clover (red,
mammoth, alsike and sweet) and tim
othy."
In a recent issue of American Forestry, H. Z. Zimmerman answers the
common question asked by flower
growers, "What is the largest flower
in the world?" He tells of a plant found on the Island of Mindanao, one of the Philippine group, that grows
2,500 feet above sea level and produc
es a blossom three feet in diameter, weighs twenty-two pounds, and has
five petals. Natives call it "Bolo,"
A nation-wide survey to discover the dollars and cents result of farm
operations for the country as a whole
in 1922 is now being made by the
United States department of agricul
ture. The survey, giving the facts of
receipts and expenses, is the first of
its kind ever attempted, and is part of a permanent project to determine the trend of incomes from farming, currently from 1922 forward, and backward, so far as available data will
permit. The survey will show acreage, farm value, method of operation, production, receipts and expenses on individual farms. Compilations will be made by sections of the country and also by commodities. In addition to a general questionnaire distributed among 60,000 of the department's crop reporters, a detailed broadcast questionnaire will be sent to all farmers in counties where the department has already made farm business analysis studies. This
ACTIVE BUYING PUTS WHEAT MARKET ON HIGHER PRICE LEVEL
CHICAGO. Feb. 10. Active buying, apparently for eastern interests and based to a considerable extent on the opinion that wheat was too low in
price as judged against other staples, has lifted the wheat market this week to a higher level of values. Compared
with a week ago; wheat Xhi3 morning
was up 1 cents to 3 cents a bushel; corn showed a gain of 1 cents to 24 cents; oats five-eighths cents to 14 cents, and provisions 5 cent3 to 12 cents.
Great relative strength of May
wheat, the delivery which represents
supplies on hand, as distinguished from the prospective new crop, has been one of the most striking features of the wheat market throughout the week. In this connection a continued falling off in the volume of receipts at primary terminals has attracted special notice, and appeared
to emphasize bullish confidence that
on the immediate showing wheat was
too cheap as compared with the com
modity list as a whole. Further optimism on the part of wheat buyers
was associated in some quarters, with
far-reaching effects looked for through settlement of the British war debt to
the united States.

Every beekeeper should know how many colonies he expects to handle next season and prepare plenty of equipment to take care of surplus honey. Old-timers are expecting a big crop this next season, because of the favorable winter for clover, and are repairing hives early. A cold snap is predicted for the middle of this month or a little later. Beemen should inspect all hives and add a little extra packing to carry the bees through this cold spell.
WINCHESTER, Ind., Feb. 10 An interesting reminiscent story of the temperance work of Miss Amanda M. Way, born in Randolph county, near Winchester, in 1827, is given in the following account submitted by a Winchester citizen: Miss Amenda M. Way was born in Randolph county, near Winchester in 1827. Her parents were among the first settlers of Randolph county, emigrating from South Carolina and settled west of Winchester in the year 1817. She, with others of her time took strong .. action against the use of whisky. The first temperance meeting of any special importance, in Randolph county was held in Winchester, in the courthouse, about 1830. From that meeting temperance societies were formed all over the county. In 1847, the women of Winchester organized against the selling of whisky, immediately after the death of a man, who through drink; had lost all his possessions. He had traded his wife's cow and featherbed to a notorious saloonkeeper, for drink, and died of delirium tremens. March on Enemy. Eighty women of the little town, with Miss Amanda M. Way, as leader, marched on the enemy. They first called on the drug stores and announced that they had come to destroy alco
holic beverages. The proprietors sur
rendered. They then went to the sa
loons and without serious trouble
emptied the whisky into the gutters. The last place visited was the especially notorious one. The proprietor, who lived in part of the building, stood in his door with a shotgun, and ordered a halt. Miss Way was not at all frightened, as she also had a gun. The keeper of the saloon ran
o the rear of the building and into
the yard. The women took possession and proceeded to smash the cookstove and other furniture, and then went to the saloon proper. Barrels and kegs were rolled out into the street and the heads knocked in, and the stuff spilled. Miss Way then dismissed her company of 80 women. The men of the town met at the court house and organized for the defense of the- women. The lawyers joined in the organization and a fund of $75 was pledged for the defense. Hires Young Lawyer The saloonkeeper said if he could put Amanda Way behind the bars, he would not care for the loss of the
property. When he failed to secure a lawyer of the town, he went to Newport, now Fountain City, 20 miles away, and hired a young attorney who had Just been admitted to the bar. The young man came and commenced taking depositions, when he
was waited .upon by a committee of women and informed by them that they would give him an hour to get
out of town.
The fight was given up and Amanda
Way went free to pursue a career,
and achieved a nation-wide reputation as an anti-saloon advocate. She also was a noted lecturer on women's
rights. In 1851 when the first con
vention was held in Indiana and a
society organized Miss Amanda M
May was one of the leaders, and afterward president. She later went to
Kansas and died there.

(Br Associated Press) PARIS, Feb. 10. "If every Ameri

"Western civilization should fee grateful to us for these carpets, if nothing else," continued "Mufide Hanum. "Your Bukhara rugs are made by uncultured girls and women, often of nomad tribes. They are all of our Turanian blood." "Americans and Europeans are rather proud of their so-called civilization, and they look down on us from your heights of progress. I wonder if you
