Corn Growing In Kentucky.

Accordingly the census, which
takes the crop of 1909 as the ba-
sis, Kentucky planted corn in
3, 43G, $40 acres and secured a
yield of 24.3sbushels of corn.
Average yield are always mis-
leading. 1t fakes the good and
the bad together. If the average
is 24.3, doubtless there are many
farmers where, with proper care,
35 and 40 bushels to the acre
where made.
Twenty-Five bushels to an acre

Do not be content with %

better than this something is
wrong-first, with your soil Sec
ond, with your culture; third
with your seed, and, fourth, with

Now change all this. You can
change your soil by proper cul
ture, by proper fertiizing. You
ought to getlbetter seed than you
used last year, and you ought to
be able to etell good seed from
bad by testsof your own.
Do not put off better farming
until next year. Apply it every
day. Confer with your neigh.
bors and see what they have done
to benefit thenselves and their
farms. See hs% far experience il

Get your farmers together in a
club and study the problems that
affect your locality. Put them
up to the agricultural stations
and see what assistance those
public officials can give you.

Markets Of the World
BIG. SHIPMENTS
LOWER WHEAT
RAINS IN CANADA LED TO FIRM.
NESS At OUTSET, BUT SHIP
MENTs CHANGED PRICE.

Chicago, Sept 6-Liberal world ship
ments turned the wheat market today
downward. Heavy rains in Canada led
to q little firmness at the outset, but
there was large volume OF wheat for
sale from widely scattered sources.
Support was inadequate. The opening
varied from hc lower to Nc up. The
start for December was 91h to 91A,
unchanged to hc advance. A decline to
e0Ac followed. Belief that promising
crop conditions had been full discount
ed rallied corn, despite active unload
ing on the part Of leading firm. De-
cember opened Nc down to q like
advance at "a to SAN and rose to
54Bc.
The market reacted temporarily as q
result of statements that rains in
Canada were more general than had
been shown earlier. Big receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth. however,
caused renewed weakness. The close
was steady but " a sc net lower at
90h @90%c for December.
Oats reflected the course of corn.
December started unchanged to 32h,
touched 80 and then climbed to 32Ac.
Fairly good commission demand put
strength into provisions. First trans
actions ranged from last nights level to
Toe higher with January $19.05 for
pork, $10.721a for lard and $10.15 to
s1015@1017k for ribs.
There, was considerable buying on
account Of predicted cooler weather
but the market sagged when purchas-
ing power became exhausted The
close was steady with December at
54hc. the same as last night.
