When the new battery of artillery

Sestion keeps repeating itself that we
should build at the fair grounds one

floor would contain the automobile

have their displays around the sides

mercury was ranging from 13 to &c
degrees below zero. Then the mer-

Even tho the sun has not shone very
much III two weeks, and the roads

is something to be thankful for.

What To Be Done With
Wool7 Meeting is Called

If you have wool to sell you are in
v,ted to attend a meeting to be held
in the Office of the county agent on
Saturday evening. There are to be no
buyers present nor any cash offers
made, but there will be discussion Of
what is best to be done as to the
disposition Of the clip. Mr.. Murphy
has induced C. e. Patterson, Of Indian
apolis to tell the farmers some inside
facts rs to present conditions in the
wool market
At this time the wool market is
largely speculative. There are pools
in many Indiana counties, also in
several states and wool is going into
central storage from many districts
These facts will be brought out at the
meeting on Saturday evening

The Farm and
the Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

Between 1900 and 1000 pounds of
wool were taken in at the Greensboro
elevator from last Friday up to We'd
nesday morning, when halt was call
ed. Farmers were paid so cents per
pound, the highest price that has been
quoted in Indiana so far. Mr.. Martin
dale, manager said that the buying
was to be resumed within a day or
two, most likely at 40 or As cents
per pound" No Richmond buyers are
making quotations on wool.
Mr.. Martindale said: Corn will
stand a lot of hot weather early in
the season and while the plant is
small. So far our corn is looking fine
but rain would help. Wheat would
benefit by rain
Very Dry at Modoc.
Oerle Johnson cashier of the bank
at Modoc, claims that Modoc has been
in the arid belt for about four weeks,
not having had a shower Of conse-
quence in that time. He says that
while they have had good showers in
various outlying spots, it has been as
dry as finder box in town. The
drouth is also having a bad effect on
oats and young clover. Corn and
wheat both are SO far all right.
Raned on Decoration Day

said the cashier of the bank at that
point. I'VE had a good rain on May

Corn is making a brave showing

kirlin, Of the Farmers bank He says
1t has been abou. three weeks since
We had a good shower. but at that

Welcome"
LAS Dry as Sahara"
When did it last rain at College
Corner? So long back that it is now
AS dry as Sahara; say three weeks or
better. Guess nothing is suffering on
that account, however" This is the
way the cashier of the Farmers State
hank summarized the situation on
Thursday.
1t was reported on Thursday that the
Sugar Grove section had a pouring
rain on Wednesday night.

WOOL MEN OF FOUR COUNTIES
AGREE TO STORE PRODUCT


At a meeting of the wool commit
tees of Henry, Delaware, Madison and
Randolph counties Wednesday night,
in Muncie, an agreement was reached
which 1t is believed will result in a
satisfactory disposition of the wool
pool Of the four counties, the largest
ever attempted in the state. Instead
of selling the wool of the four counties
a contract was signed with the firm
Of Duncan & Leavitt, Of Noblesville,
whereby the firm will store the wool
in the four county seats and sell 1t
for the growers at a time to be speci-
fled by the farmers themselves.
At the meeting in Muncie Wednes-
day night four cash bids were rejected,
the committee believing better prices
can be obtained for the wool. The
action of the committee simply means
the holding of the wool for better
price, assembling it in centrally To-
Gated places, grading the product and
having it ready to sell when the mar
ket Is more favorable.

mated to contain salts equivalent tc
