The Farm and Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANsoRN i.

Walter Mathews, Of the Centerville
elevator, says they are taking in a
little cornt and have ben paying IS
cents for it. No one seems anxious
co sell wheat or oats.
And this summarizes the stories OF
numerous country elevators. Some Of
them are not even receiving corn.
The central markets are in such shape
that it is hard to tell what to offer for
grain at country points. An advance
today, with firm finish, is just as
likely as not to be followed by break
to much lower levels tomorrow.
Shipped Cattle Back Home.
The first case of the kind SO far re-
ported in years occurred at Sioux City,
Iowa, on Wednesday. Four loads OF
mixed fat cattle were brought in by
two farmers living near Remsen, Iowa,
and finding the prices bid too low to
suit them. the farmers promptly re-
loaded and shipped the entire lot back
home. I'VE still have plenty of feed,
and our credit is good at the bank, "
said one Of them, land we don't pro-
pose to give our cattle away" Not
all farmers are so independently fixed,
or there would be much lighter live
stock receipts, not only at western
points, but also at Indianapolis.
F For Emergency Tariffs.
The movement for protective tariffs
to aid farmers is now we'll underway
at Washington, but there is an over
whelming sentiment against embar.
goes on any agricultural product. Rep.
resentatives Green. Republican, from
Iowa is sponsoring an emergency
measure which provides tariff of Is
cents per bushel on wheat, 10 cents
On corn and a sliding scale tariff on
all clothing woods, beginning with IL
cents per pound on unwashed and
ranging up to Sc cents on secured
woods. 1t also provides for duties on
live stock, no matter from what coun
try shipped in.

SALE SEASON
FOR FALL OF 1920
IS NOT PROFITABLE
BY WILLIAM r. sANeoRN

The farm sale season for 1920 hai
about drawn to a close. Compared
with 1919, sellers have suffered from
falling market. this growing worse at
the fall advanced. Here and there
seller found some satisfaction in know
ing that bis wares had brought outside
prices from appreciative bidders, al
circumstances considered. But in the
main there was a marked hesitancy on
the part of buyers, and especially sc
as to buyers of all classes of live
stock; good mules being the possible
exception.
- This complaint does not refer to
sales early in the year, nor up to har
vest days. But the steady declines IL
grain, cattle, hogs and sheep. since
the break set in, cuold have had no
other effect. These made the optimis
tic and erstwhile liberal buyer a con-
sentative. Many who had been feed
ing large herds quit the business en-
tirely last spring and are mostly glad
OF it. These men formerly bought
young stuff at all convenient sales.
But many of them quit cold. and in.
stead of buying feed they sold the corn
on hand the moment they felt that the
new crop was assured, and at time
when corn was bringing so to 60 pei
cent more at farm sales than can now
be got at the country elevator
There will be very few sales during
the coming three or four weeks. 1t
is expected, however, that late in Jan
uary, and from then on, until spring
farm work presses the ruralist. the
auctioneers will get another opportun.
ity to make a pot of money.
