The Centralia Guard says: j.
II. Jones, of east of town should
be called 'the corn king" of Aud
rain county, as he always raises
corn when others fail. Mr.. Jones
has a fine farm with some splendid
land and he has an intelligent
system of seed corn selection
which he brought here from Vir-
ginia and which is better in results
than some of the book" systems.
This year when some of the good
farmers of our country are baling
a lot of small stalks for fodder,
Mr.. Jones is harvesting some corn
that made forty bushels to the
acre or eight barrels. Many farm
ers will feel lucky if they harvest
six and eight bushels to the acre
this year.

Its An iii Wind That.
Blows Nobody Good

Damage to crops is always misfortune TO the
world at large. Advices from the corn belt report
that long continued lack of rain and unusually hot
spells of long duration have worked havoc with
the growing crop. Such reports must always, of
course be discounted 20 some extent, as the ex-
element invariably leads to certain amount of
exaggeration In this case however, there is
strong reason to fear that the damage is very
nearly If not fully as bad as stated.
There is reflection of this in the Chi
cago grain market. Spectators take pains
to be unusually well informed as to crop con-
ditions and movement. Corn is now bullsh.
Prices are advancing by jnmps. So are the
values of other grains Receipts are falling
off, farmers who are acquainted with the sit
uaton evidently preferring to hold cereals
back. They are acquainted with the condi-
tons and believe the damage is so great and
widespread that still higher prices must re-
suit.
AT the same time reports from ir-
rigated territory where the farmers are
not dependent upon rainfall, show that
all crops are in magnificent condition.
The promise for bumper harvests was
never equaled. While the drought in
the non-irrigated area has tended to
advance prices sharply, the men who
farm irrigated lands are in position to
take advantage of the situation. They
will have immense quantities of pro-
duce to sell and will get big prices for
it. This, it is true, is at the expense
of those less fortunate, but in it may
be found forceful illustration of the
benefit of irrigation. 1t makes the
tiller of the soil Independent of climatic
conditions.
