The Farm and
the Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

L. G. Downward, route seven Liberty
says that he got his share of Sun
days rainfall, and that things are
all right on his farm now. He says
that his corn is looking fine but that
his wheat isn't very promising. though
somewhat better than anticipated
early in the season. Mr. Downward says
that they got their FIRST real rain in
weeks. last Sunday. though the few
showers and sprinkles in the interim
helped"
Reports from Liberty and south tell
of a soaking rain on Sunday, and in
many districts it was reported badly
needed.
Economy Finally Soaked.
They have finally had a soaking rain
of the elevator there, says so. More
over, he says that the rain on last
Sunday was the first worthwhile rain
IN EXACTLY five weeks" ut came in
the nick of time for oats, which have
been suffering for water" Mr.. Bene-
dict says that late planted corn has
been hurt by pests, and has grown
but little, having had no rain since
put in, up to Sunday. Also that the
fly has done some damage during the
dry spell. and that much wheat is
down on this account. He thinks that
they are likely to harvest less than
the half Of a normal crop on the
acreage sown.
Glen karn and williamsburg.
The Chenoweth store at Glen karn
reports a generous rain on Sunday,
one which seemingly covered quite a
wide radius. Farmers have been
feeling rather blue" said department
manager, for it has been mighty dry
for three to four weeks. 1t Is different
today and everybody is feeling better"
The stock ponds and water holes in
streams are pretty we'll filled up once
more" is the report from Hollansburg.

lief and benefit to farmers. Also did

Housewives Urged
to Can More Fruit

Because of the shortage Of labor in
the canneries and the higher prices
necessary to pay for the raw products,
il is highly important that every
housewife arrange now to can as
much fruit and vegetables during the
summer as possible, according to Miss
Leila Gaddis, head of the home eco
nomics' extension work at Purdue uni
versity. Even at this date there are a
few foods which may be canned for
winter use, such as asparagus, rhu-
bard, spinach. mustard, beet tops,
Swiss chard. etc.
The cold pack method of canning
means fewer spoiled cans, food with a
better flavor and appearance, less time
and labor because of only one hand
ling and the tedious part of the work
at the beginning rather than at the
end, according to Miss Gaddis.
To avoid failures in canning, two
things are essential-that the can and
contents must be sterilized, and the
can must be Theoretically sealed to
prevent entrance of germs after
sterilization.
Failures in canning may be reduced
to minimum by using the cold-pack
process. In brief, it consists Of pre-
pairing the material. packing it in
cans. covering 1t with strip or brine
and sterilizing the can and contents at
the same time by cooking in hot
water or steam. If this method is
| followed, care taken to use new rub
hers, test the cans before filling, regu-
late the time for sterilizing correctly,
no spelling will be found. Some fruits
and vegetables shrink, leaving space
in the can. This need cause no alarm,
as the air in the can Is sterilized and
will do no damage.

er conditions the acreage in the bur
ley district will be largely increased.
"An fruit crops were in good condi'
ton. Bumper yields Of apples and
peaches are looked for. The berry
crops were saved by good rains the
first of the week and will be plentiful.
"All truck crops were greatly helped
by the rains early in the week, and
the outlook at the time is very bright.
"All live stock is in good condition.
Many farmers, however, are selling

BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

With new wheat harvest in sight
and hundreds of western country ele-
vators filled with old wheat, serious
problem confronts both railroads and
wheat grower. Transportation is the
leading factor, not merely in grain
trade conditions, but in every avenue
of business.
1t is the one factor largely RESPONSE
tle for the present money stringency,
because manufactured goods cannot
be freely moved to market, nor can
raw material and grain be moved,
utilized and paid for This often re
suits in unpaid drafts with bills OF
lading. For instance, a Richmond
bank has been holding a draft for
car Of -four, for five weeks, because
the car, loaded in Minnesota. has not
arrived.
This transaction is typical Of thous-
ands and Is representative of the tying
up Of money by shippers, or their
banks, in every avenue of trade.
Moreover, the banks have millions
loaned on the grain at country points,
which should long since been in store
at central elevators, and are now
called on to finance the new crop,
there being no government agency to
do that this year, nor to set the price
OF wheat.
Plenty of Old Wheat.
1t is certain that we shall go into
the new harvest with at least 100000
900 bushels of 1919 wheat in sight. On
top of this use of storage add millions
Of bushels of corn, oats and rye at
country points and the question of
making room for new crops becomes
very serious. So far as Wayne county
IS concerned country elevators are
pretty we'll cleaned out, but will quick
~ fill when the wheat begins to arrive,
unless cars are available.
A Tight Money Market.
It Is said that 60 per cent of our
monetary stringency was caused by
the tieup of railroads by labor trou-
bles, which as yet has been overcome
but to limited extent, and the money
market Is still strained. despite the
sale of Liberty Bonds by large holders,
forced to sell to meet their obliga'
lions. Money is now bringing the
highest rates in years. The tightness
Of money may we'll affect the price OF
the coming crop, at least In degree.
Bankers Consider Situation.
The Chicago, St Louis, Omaha, Min
neapolis and Kansas City bankers
lave taken up the question of finan
cling the coming crop with Governor
Harding, head of the Federal Reserve
Eank at Washington, and also with
ether reserve bankers. They have also
discussed the opening of the specula
tive wheat markets and ii is under
stood that practically all in consulta
tion are in favor of early resumption
Of trading in the wheat pits, though
