FARMERS GOING BACK EAST
Maiy Advantages Offered Worn Out Farms by Adoption of Modern
 Methods of Agriculture.

A good many men at the present time are going east Gin many instances these were farmer boys back east be- fore they grew up and went vest and buying worn out, rocky homesteads that have been abandoned, hoping with the money and ideas they gained in the west to make themselves wealthy on the abandoned acres near the big eastern markets.
 There should be great opportunity for active young agriculturists with modern agricultural training in the old eastern states Many farms there have been abandoned because of the de- pleted condition of the soil and the fact that competition with the fresh lands of the west was unprofftable on standard crops.
 It Is said that at the present time nearly 1000, ,000 acres of idle farm land is lying along the boundary line be- tween New York state and Pennsyl vania. Surely, with the great markets at the very door of these lands, there are for the eastern farmer wonderful possibilities.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, July 16.-Technical rally
is due in wheat, though locals have
thrown up the sponge and we're talk
ing so cent wheat late Tuesday. Oats
are carrying charge proposition.
Oats also feel the presence of nice
central west rains. Corn shipments
were excellent yesterday. Oats ship
ments were fair. 1t was cool in north
west on Tuesday and there was more
rain with 10 at st. Paul. Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Ohio are receiving
their full share of July downpOurs.
To 7 p. m. Tuesday, Indianapolis ran
194, Springfield 1872. Illinois has re-
ceived well scattered rains this week.
Nebraska temperature ran to 100 yes
terday while Kansas burned under
100 to 106. Kansas excess heat now
runs three days. The report OF Chi
cago provision stocks, date July is,
compared with July l, shows some in
creases, but supplies in general are
40 per cent below last year OF course
pork. prices are 25 per cent above last
July and ribs and lard 10 per cent in
excess.
Twenty-eight reports arrived in the
first mail. They average 81 to So for
corn. Poorest reports of a half corn
crop come from southwest Kansas
and 60 per cent from southwest In
diana, and south central Nebraska
sends reports of So corn condition.
Corn seems to hold its July 1 cOndi
ton of sc easily. Nineteen out Of the
| % reports give oats condition of 20 tC
| 20 per cent. About half reports say
oats have lost condition this month
and half claim again. Out of 81 re
ports, "a give oats a condition of five
to 70 with an average per cent fol
the GA of not over So to 60. These
reports are from all the big states
and cover extensive territory in eacf
case Looks as if there will be little
| improvement in the oats condition
this month.

This viii in no way detract from
the circus performance which will fol-

more novelties from Europe than the
array which they present this season.
OF the 375 performers the majority
are foreigners making their first ap-
pearance in America; in fact, 10
languages and dialects are spoken in
the dressing tents. The oft made
statement that circus equestrianism
has disappeared will be absolutely re-

who will appear in the rings. Equally
