Lamson's Grain Letter.

Furnished by Lamson Bros. & Co, 2o5
Masonic Temple; Phone 1881
Chicago, July 21.-Corn-With a
continued urgent demand for cash corn
during the last week. September has
ruled strong and closed at about the
high point. AS long as industrial In
terests seek the corn, there is little
prospect for a permanent recession in
values. Prospects for the growing
crop are most fattering in nearly all
parts of the belt. The short interest
has been,coneiderably eliminated dur
l. ing the last few days and, If the crop
continues to improve, some setback
should result.
Oats-Strength in July Is due to
flight supplies and the fact that many
have sold oats to fasteners for July
shipment and there appears to be little
spossibility Of securing them in time
to fulfill contracts. There has been
considerable talk of placing a maxi
mum price on the July delivery but,
so far. the directors have seen no
cause for immediate action Harvest
ing continues. and reports as to yield
are very favorable. ~

acres under what is known as the
"Allendale" ditch, or irrigation can
nal between the stations of New

THE WAR GARDEN
MOVEMENT IN
LOGAN CITY

Responding to the appeals of the
government for more extensive plant
ing and greater conservation of till.
able land space, the city of Logan,
in conjunction with the Commercial
Club, inaugurated the Home Garden
movement
Through a special committee ap-
pointed for the purpose a general
mass meeting Of parents and children
interested was held, resulting in the
organization of club with 165 boys
and 35 girls as enthusiastic members.
The movement was financed by the
Commercial Club, the school board
and the city. Mr.. Dolores Nichols OF
the U. A. C. had immediate charge
of the work.
All vacant lots in the city were
listed. Club members were assigned
lots free of cost. Many valuable
cash and merchandise prizes were
offered by the merchants to stimu-
late activity. Gardens were carefully
scored each month by the supervisor.
Out of the 200 members who en-
tered the race, 1876 concluded the
season with successful gardens. None
of these scored below 81 points.
The monetary value, at market
prices, of the produce grown was
$19,036.90, The educational value
was beyond computation.
The whole venture has been SO
eminently successful that the school
board contemplates making the move
part of the regular curriculum of
the schools of the city.
At the close of the summers work
when the final prizes were awarded
many new members were added to
the club, and the prospects for still
bigger and more successful war
garden drive are promising for the
season of 1918.
