10 cents per hundredweight has
marked the weeks activities. barley
being quoted yesterday at 95c per
hundredweight.
With prices advancing by leaps
and bounds daily, farmers who have
not already contracted their crops
show no disposition to sell, and see
well defined visions of a magnificent
realization on their 1914 output. The
nearest approach to yesterdays
wheat prices for many years past
were those of the same date of 1910,
when fortyfold was quoted at TN
cents per bushel, only 21@ cents
under the present market Oats were
at that time quoted at $13O per
hundredweight, and barley at 81. On
August % of last year fortyfold
wheat was worth 90 cents, and the
quotations for the same date of the
two preceding years varied less than
two cents on wheat, although barley
showed abnormal activities in 1911
and went as high as $3.50, although
the farmers of this vicinity profited
little on account Of the comparative

year.

Three more separators owned by
Pullman farmers have fallen prey to
smut explosions and both are total
losses as a result of the fires which
followed the explosions. For two
weeks previous to these explosions
the farmers of this vicinity had
pressed their threshing operations

following an explosion. Mr. O'Kelley
had previously lost a machine this
season and his new Case had been in
the field less than a week when it
met the fate of its predecessor. 1t Is
probable that the separator will not
be replaced and that Mr.. OKelley
will cease threshing operations for
this season. On the same day NJ.
