TEN EAR SAMPLES
OF CORN ARE SHOWN

Ten ear instead of 20 ear samples
will be shown this year at the Hay and
Grain Show which will be held in con-
nection with the International Live
Stock Exposition at Chicago Nov. 81
to Dec 4, for the $4,000 premium list
offered by the Chicago Board of Trade.
This action will meet with the hearty
approval of the hundreds of exhibitors
and will mean a much larger list of
entrants. because the growers know
that it is much easier to pick a ten
ear sample than one for twenty cars,
and show corn equally a. good or bet
ter than that of the 20 ear samples.
The ten car samples were recognized
by all the corn states at the state
meeting in September as being more
satisfactory.
In addition to this change, class
also has been provided for single ear
samples of corn with suitable prem
iums. This class was not provided
last year until time for the show, but
even then there were more than $50
entrants. In the 20 ear samples shown
last year, there were 720 exhibitors,
and it is thought that this number will
go to 1000 or more with the change
made in cutting the number to a 10
ear sample.
Arouse Interest.
Glasses for small grains and seeds
for hay and forage crops which it was
announced would be provided this
year are arousing considerable inter-
est not only in the Corn Belt. but in
the far West and East, and also in the
South and in Canada Suitable prizes
will be given for field peas. soybeans.
COW peas and clover, alfalfa, timothy.
alsike and similar seeds also will be in
special classes this year with several
hundred dollars in prizes going to the
growers of these products.

BOOM OHIO FARMER
FOR CABINET PLACE

COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. S.-Friends
in Ohio. with his consent, have begun
a movement for the appointment of
George NJ. Wilbur. Union county dirt
farmer as secretary of agriculture
under President elect Warren G.. Hard
ing.
The affair was started when Mr..
Wilbur addressed the Wool commit
tee of the Federated Farm bureaus in
Chicago recently. There have been
editorial Endorsements from rural pub
locations and from prominent farmers,
his friends say.
Mr.. Wilbur is an original Harding
man, lifelong Republican who al
ways was a supporter of Harding and
urged him to become a candidate for
the senate. He served as an Ohio
delegate to the Republican national
convention and helped to swing the
Wyoming delegation into line.
The aspirant is said to have in
dorsements from Standardized Frank
B. Willis and Congressman Simeon d.
Fess. He is without large political
experience, his first and only public
service being two terms in the Ohio
legislature. One of these was over
whelming.v Democratic, so that he
had little opportunity to demonstrate
his strength. 1t is urged by his
friends that Ohio has had but one
secretary of agriculture, and that for
brief period.

The Farm and Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANRoRN

To protect young fruit trees against
bark gnawing by field mice in winter
is the most sensible thing to do. These
pests have killed thousands of peach,
pear, plum and apple trees, in their
quest for green food during winter
months. One can buy wire netting
for this purpose, it's. true, which net
ting can be adjusted to the size of the
tree, but this does not get rid of the
pests. Field ice not only destroy
small, tender fruit and shade trees, but
also consume grain and other pro-
ducts. To kill the mice is the best
solution.
The field mouse makes it's winter
home in brush piles, and in piles of
grass and weeds made in a cleanup.
Burn such piles to start with. Then
poison the rascals.
Poisoned Grain For Bait.
F. l.. -Washburn, of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture, gives the fol-
lowing for the mixture: Dissolve one
ounce of sulphate of strychnine in a
quart of boiling water; sweeten with
syrup or sugar. adding a little oil of
anise to make it more inviting. This
quantity will poison one-half bushel of
wheat or corn. Distribute around
where the mice make headquarters.
Tree trunks may also be painted
with a heavy whitewash. in which
enough bluestone to make the mixture
quite blue, has been dissolved This
is good time to paint the trees. Re
peat on warm day during the winter.
New Corn at 60 Cents.
A Center township farmer reports
that a neighbor who is quitting the
farm is selling his corn at 521a cents
per bushel, delivered to the crib. This
must not be taken as the going"
price, however, for it is doubtful that
many farmers will sell a bushel, even
at 60 cents
Farmers Commission Companies
With reference to farmers organic
ing commission companies to handle
their grain. the Price Current and
Grain Reporter says:
The legal and moral right of far
mers to organize commission COM
panies as well as elevator and live
stock shipping companies is unques-
toned. But the expediency of doing
so is quite another matter
]. Whoever does the work, or rem
ders the service, of the commission
man must be paid for that service. To
displace present personnel would only
take some men from the farms to rem
der the same service.
2. The farmer therefore, can save
nothing by hiring other men than
those now so engaged He would be
simply exchanging men trained for the
service for those who are not trained.

The Home Garden

November is the best time to anulv
manure to rhubarb and asparagus
beds. 1t is also the month for fall
blowing Of gardens. Plow the soil aft
or covering with manure, and leave it
unharrowed. The action of the winter
weather will improve the texture of
the soil and make it easier to work
the following summer
Root crops may be buried for win
ter use. such as beets. turnips. cab
base and carrots. Parsnips may be
left in rows where they grew
This is the best time of year for
draining the ground if it is inclined to
be wet. Drainage always pays as it
means better crops.
All garden tools should be put away,
implanted parts should be given an
application of grease. This will pre-
vent rust. The wooden parts should
be treated with linseed oil

St. Louis Youth Held For
Hearing on Murder Charge

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8.-Albert Ellis,
q years old. was held today awaiting
preliminary hearing following his al
legged confession yesterday that he
killed his former sweetheart. Edna
Ellis, 10, here Tuesday night, because
she refused to accept his attentions,
after breaking off their engagement
The murder was discovered Friday
morning, when the girls body, the
throat and hands slashed. was found
IN a vacant lot near her home. Ellis
was arrested Saturday and after en-
phatically denying any knowledge of
the crime, weakened under cross-ex-
animation, according to the police,
and said that he had waited for the
girl as she returned from work, and
attacked her when she refused to talk
to him.

3. 1t Is probably not possible under
any circumstances to have the same
quality Of service rendered for less
money than it is now costing.
4. IL is not to be expected that the

High Freight Rates.
Western hay shippers are complain
ing that the present freight rates on
hay are almost prohibitive of trade,
and say that if relief be not soon OBJ
tanned the interstate trade in hay will
be ruined, and that considerable in
trastate trade will be lost
Crude Rubber at Low Point.
1t may be some consolation to farm
ers who have sold their wheat at the
bottom. if the bottom has yet been
reached? to learn that crude rubber
has fallen from 81 per pound before
the war to 20 cents at this writing.
This is the record low price in the in
dustry, the shrink greatly exceeding
that In wheat prices. This means tires
Tor the Ford at less cost, which is
something, but will check the putting
out OF rubber trees and may eventually
curtall the output of rubber. At the
pest 1t must mean heavy losses on
crude rubber coming forward, gather
ed and prepared at much higher prices
That condition is of very doubtful
benefit.
Feeding Hogs on Fern Roots.
There seems no doubt that starch
for industrial uses could be made from
fern roots, just as it is from potatoes
and rice. The English farmer is feed
ing his pigs on "bracken," wherever
obtainable, and in New Zealand the
pork from pigs fed on fern roots is
considered most delicious. 1t is
worth noting, too, that in Germany
the Prussian minister of agriculture
was advocating fern roots as a good
food for pigs, even before the war
During the war fern roots were used
in Germany as mixture for war
bread, because of their starchy con
tent. The roots of the common bull
rush also contain much starch.
Webster Meets Wednesday.
A meeting of the farmers of Web
ster township has been called for We'd
nesday night. All farmers are invited

ing. z Mr.. Dolan spent three days at
Purdue last week, in attendance at the

HOGS SHOW INCREASE,
OTHER STOCK LOWER;
GRAIN MARKET WEAK
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

Hogs made a net gain of s140 at
Chicago last week, compared with the
price range of Saturday. October 80
During the same time cattle, hogs and
sheep were depressed, the loss being
quite heavy, cattle being from $100
to $3.50 lower Saturday, than at the
high spot Tuesday. Lambs Jared
equally as bad, the loss being So at
extreme point.
Affairs at Indianapolis reflected
conditions at Chicago. Hogs adj
vanced while cattle and sheep de-
clined. Heavies ranged at $3.50 to
$13.S5 on October 80, with mediums
making top of S13.75 and choice
lights top of $3.50. On Saturday,
November 6, the range on choice
heavies was $1440 to $14.50, on mixed,
$14."5 to $14.35. with lights at $14.25,
the latter showing a gain of 75c on
the week.
1t will be noted that while Indiana
polls followed the trend at Chicago,
the advance was not as great. Re-
ceipts of cattle were heavier than ex-
pected on Saturday, and values were
shaded % cents. Veals were very
weak, declining SO cents ON all grades.
Wheat and Corn Lower
Economic conditions, speaking from
a worldwide view point, have been
affecting the grain markets, Just as
they have Wall street securities. In
spite of the fact that Great Britain
has been out of the American market
for three months, we have exported

GRAIN MARKETING
BY COOP, METHODS
WILL BE DIFFICULT

CHICAGO, Nov. S-No very strong,
permanent or extensive cooperative
marketing organization is likely to be
built up unless economic necessity
forces a great number of farmers into
it, A committee representing Mid
West farm bureau declarations reported
today to the farmers marketing COM
mittee after an investigation of CO.
operative organizations on the Pacific
coast.
The investigation was undertaken
to find whether the Pacific coast sys-
tenn could be adopted to the co-operat-
i've marketing Of grain and other Mid
West farm products.
Cannot Fix Prices
In a lengthy report the committee
analyses the benefits and disadvant-
ages of the various forms of organiza-
tions used by the Pacific coast fruit
and provision men. The organizations
cannot fix prices, the report says. and
several of the western cooperative as
sociations are lat the present time
constrained to accept prices below
their calculated costs of production"
which Indicates that they have not
secured through their organization
any immunity from fundamental econ
omic laws"
The organizations, the report says.
simply are efficient agencies to get
the best prices that the consuming
market affords"
Present conditions and future pros
poets of grain prices would appear 10
indicate, the review adds, that grain
growers may be ready for such col
lective movement.
Must Be Big To Succeed
To be successful, however, produc-
ers over a large area must consolidate
for their common interests. To fin
ance the movement the members must
be bound by a regular contract to de-
liver their product to it over reason
able period of time, the committee
says, expressing frank doubts as to
the legal standing of such contracts,
and citing certain unfavorable opin-
ions in Pacific coast courts. The re-
port adds such contracts, even if
not fully enforceable at law, will give
the association somewhat greater Sc
curity than it would otherwise enjoy
and will be morally binding or en-
forced by local public sentiment in
a majority Of cases. How far the
courts will go in support of them will
doubtless depend largely on the poll
cies and practices which the associa-
ton sought to carry out through the
powers conferred by this contract"
Must be on Pooling Basis
If the proposed organization is per-
fected settlement on a pooling basis
will be necessary, the committee says,
"as a means Of averaging the results
of the joint action of all producers
