sold, the farmer generally believes
that it IS q bad practise. This
year, il the market continues good
the contract men will be on the
short end Of the string, If it goes
down, there may be some buyers
who will refuse to take the brush
at the contract price, or who will
lose if they do. It's a hard game
to beat without q better means Of
getting the farmers accurate in
formation on the subject, before
they contract. This year, our re-
ports haYe helped a great many of
the producers, but for some, the
information reached them too late.
We get the report as accurately as
is possible to get them, and after
you read the reports, it is up to
you to to use your own Judgment
in the matter. The trend of the
market is always contained in these
columns.
There were fifteen cars of new
corn shipped from Liberal last
week, making the total for the
new crop, 90 cars. There were
also two cars of old corn shipped,
making a total for the 1910 crop
1888 cars.
Broom corn is bringing a good
price at Liberal this year, and we
have a fine CROP, remarked d.
Weidensaul, of Liberal, who is at
tending the fair. "A year ago
broom corn sold for less than 800
as low as $50 in many cases. Now
it is selling as high as $165 and /
would not be surprised to see it
run to 5000" Hutchinson News.

ArcOla, H.. Sept. 81. When
thelast issue Of the Record Herald
was issued two sales of $3.50 had
been recorded. but since that time
there have been only q very linn
tied number Of sales of new brush
and az an extremely wide Yari-
ance Of price.
j. a. Wesch q Co., bought the
Frank RoedI crop of 1911 brush,
raised near Arcola. at $l35. One
crop of new corn raised near Du-
quoin sold for 500, one at Hum
bolt $3.50, while reports from Mat
toon, say the tenants share of one
crop of extra choice stuff has been
sold there at $175. Rumors of
even higher prices are printed in
yesterdays Nation Journal, but
no names are given and the ru-
mors are unverified, though it is
reported from several sources that
$175 has been offered and refused
by a number of farmers.
Old corn has sold all the way
Jfrom SIS to $l4O, the highest price
has been paid by a Windsor buyer
for lot at Shelbyville.
We are asked: What is the pres
ent market price9" Frankly,
now Frank, don't you knows
What will it be9 Equally, frankly
nobody knows.
Farmers are bullish and inclined
to await Developments. 1t is quite
possible that the prices offered for
choice lots may be advanced, and
it is also possible that the prices
which are already very high, may
suffer sharp decline.
The fact of the matter is that
there is but little corn in the Cen
district ready to be sold. Scarce
" half Of the corn has been cut.
Cutting will continue until the LIST
of October.
The district was visited by a
heavy and unexpected rain Tues
day night which caught consider
able corn on the table and dam
aged it. In some sections of the
district the wind did much damage,
The rain made the roads very
muddy, and the half dozen manu-
faAturers who are in the district
took day off yesterday.
Reports from the West indicate
that there are lots of buyers out
there but little buying. Corn is
late. Sales generally average
about $50 though number of sales
in excess Of 500 have been noted
during the week. The 'honk,
honk" of the many benzine buzz
wagons, is having a tendency to
make the growers a little indie
pendent.
The next two weeks ought to
develop something like general
market price. which, for the pres
seems entirely lacking.
