BOURBON FARMING CONDITIONS

The farmers have been very busy
in the past few days shocking out
their corn crops, but many of them
have experienced considerable troub.e
in getting sufficient help for that
purpose.
There is no indication that the
growers are anxious about their to,
bacco, and while considerable
quantity has been stripped, there L.
yet plenty of time, which, coupled
with the scarcity of help for this
kind of work, makes the growers
study little bit.
Many farmers have been cleaning
up their land this week, repairing
roads, and mending fences, together
with the general run Of ever present
farm work in the dull season.
There is decided scarcity of poul-
try, while there is not much discus
sion regarding turkeys, because they
are very high and very poor. Good
hogs are so scarce that it is distress
ing and the highest prices ever
known are being paid for the ant
mails. A hogshead in the market now
costs $3.50 and a tray of brains cost
forty cents, while very few hogs are
being killed.
There are plenty Of good apples
in the groceries and fruit being
brought to the local market is COM
paratively reasonable in price and
good in quality The mad rush for
potatoes is about over, but $1.40
per bushel is considered cheap for
the tubers in large quantities. One
could hardly desire more delicious
eatables than the turnips and celery
raised in the city gardens. The
celery could not be better, being
small, tender and white Pumpkins

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, March 7.-Wheat devel- oped weakness today under a show of strength at the start. Offerings early were light and it took but little buying to lift prices, but on the up- turn realizing sales by holders be- scame heavy and the market fell, owing to lack of support and because of snoWs in the West, where moisture had been short. Considerable un- certainly was evident regarding what would be indicated by the gov ernment report, which ranged from 1-4M1c higher, with May at $1.91@ 1.01 1-2 and July at $1 .5901 1.60, were followed by slight further gains and then a setback all around to below yesterdays finish.
 Corn sagged with wheat The de- cline, however, did not take place un- til the market, influenced by new jump in the value of hogs, had risen to slightly above yesterdays high record. After opening 1-2D 1c up, prices hardened 9 little more, and then receded to well under yester- days closing figures.
 Oats were governed by the action of wheat nd corn Demand was only of scattered sort.
 Gossip that recent advances had been too rapid led to easier quota tions on provisions. Fresh upturns in hogs seemed 10 have no effect.
 Subsequently, assertions that ex- port purchases to the extent of 1,- 000,000 bushels had been cancelled al Omaha had a depressing effect Word that President Wilson would arm merchant ships caused only a tran sient rally. The close was weak,
 3-4M3c net lower, with May at $1.S7 C l.S7 l-2 and July at s15701.57 1-2.
 It was said that foreigners who re gently purchased corn had been re- selling at the seaboard. The close was heavy at 5-Sc to 1@1 1-4c net de- cline.
