The Farm and
the Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

The manager at the elevator at Cas-
tine, Ohio, stated on Tuesday after
noon that he had taken in about 5000
bushels of wheat, that it was coming
m right along, and that he had so far
been supplied with all the cars needed.
He said that he had been able to ship
out closely and that his grain had been
headed east over the Nickle Plate, for
export. IL. 80
Paul F. Bittner of Fountain City, re-
ported on Tuesday evening that he
had been forced to stop taking in
wheat for lack of room. But one car
had been loaded out so far and no cars
had come In for several days, although
he is on the waiting list for cars.
The Losantville elevator reported
but one car of wheat shipped up to
Tuesday night and promise of a car
for Wednesday. The manager says
he has but little more room for wheat,
owing to having a lot of old oats in
storage and no show to ship them
out. They are harvesting oats around
Losantville, some being cut for hay;
other fields will thresh out we'll but
the crop is estimated at but about
half of last years.
Choking Up at Lynn.
Earl Adamson, of the city mills and
also the elevator at Lynn, says the
elevator is choking up and that they
are prepared to load five cars at once,
with none in sight. Mr.. Adamson is
rather pessimistic over the price out
look, stating that they had offered
wheat In all directions on Tuesday,
with no satisfactory bids. Said that
one Cincinnati grain firm had offered
but S2.51 for July shipment. which
was under what they were paying on
Tuesday. He believes that we are to
see still lower prices for wheat before
the market settles. Most of the oats
are cut in the Lynn district, are very
promising and good returns are eX-
pected from the machines next week.
