Farmers Marketing Wheat.
One Richmond flour mill received
IL wagon loads of wheat before noon
on Thursday, also one truck load and
two cars. One of these cars came
from Economy, the other from Eldora-
do, Ohio. Charles Carpenter explained
mat the wet weather was keeping men
out Of the fields and as the season is
getting late they are bringing in their
grain. He says, too, that there is a
surprising amount of wheat back on
the farms, mostly in small lots, how
ever. ranging at say 200 to 500 bushels
This is in line with what country
elevator men are claiming for Wayne
and nearby counties.
Chickens Pay Him Best.
r. H. Minor, living on the Chester
pike, says he has 400 chickens which
have been laying 10 dozens of eggs
daily for months, and that these chick
ems have made him more money than
his IS mich cows, from which he is
selling whole milk, and that has been
true all this year. He says: There is
no comparison as to labor. Cows have
to be MIXED twice day, consume a
lot of feed and there Is the time spent
and the gasoline burned and tires worn
out in getting that milk to town every
day. l am advertising my cows fol-
sale. Chickens are the best invest
ment."

Rush County Woman, 96,
Never Rode in Automobile
Or Inferurban Car, Claim

RUSHVILLE, Ind, May 21.-To live
in the twentieth century without rid
ing in an automobile or street car, is
an unusual thing, but with the death
of Miss Sallie Ruby, at her home in
northern Rush county Wednesday, it
was learned, such a person had lived
for So years.
Miss Ruby was probably the Oldest
born native citizen of Rush county,
having been born So years ago. on the
same farm on which she died, it be-
ing located just east of Carthage.
Miss Ruby was not peculiar in her
ways, but was a typical "home-body''
and did not desire to do the things
that were so modern.
Even though she lived within a few
miles from a traction line, she never
rode on one, nor did she ever see one.
Automobiles passed her home daily,
and friends invited her to ride, but she
never desired to ride.
She lived almost a century, through
several wars, and witnessed the rapid
growth of the country, with modern
inventions and the like, but was never
possessed with any desire to leave
her home, and spent the Sc years in
Rush county.

WHEAT s. PER CENT
SHORT; PORK IS Is,
SAYS J. R. HOWARD

]. r. Howard. president of the
American Farm Bureau federation at
Chicago, estimated today that the
wheat production of the nation would
be IS percent below normal this year
and that pork production in the mid
die west would be 25 percent below
grade.
Wet weather, shortage of labor and
lack Of transportation facilities, are
the chief causes for this condition,
President Howard said.
Cotton Is the only commodity which
promises to hold its own this year, &C:
cording to the review of crops made
by the farm bureau chief. Every i'm
portant food crop, he said, would
show a falling off from last year.
1t Is too late now to do anything to
remedy these conditions. he said
While efforts are now being made to
get men out on the farms, he did not
think they would be of much benefit
this year, as farmers had their plans
laid. Help in handling this seasons
crops, however. with the prospect OF
getting sufficient labor next year
would encourage farmers to larger
production next season, he observed
Wheat Good In Spots.
In parts of Kansas, President How
ard said wheat was very good, but
outside of that he found nothing ia
vorable in wheat to report.
Great losses in hogs have resulted
from the cold wet weather, he added
The number of brood sows any way
he said was less than normal.
Wheat held on Kansas farms at the
present time because of inability tc
get transportation. President Howard
estimated amounted to $100,000,00(
worth.
The farm bureau federation chief
has just returned from an extended
trip through the south and middle
west.

Blue Grass Going to Seed.
A farmer near Centerville said on
Thursday that he had some blue grass
on his place that was already running
to seed. This he thought was because
of the fact that it was not pastured
late last fall, and had a good growth
before winter set in. He remarked
too, that he had in 100 acres of wheat
last spring and but 40 acres this year

Rise in Milk Forecasted
By Meeting of Producers;
Farmers. Dairymen Join

At conference of milk producers
at the court house on Thursday even
ing, 70 farmers who sell whole milk
to the city dairymen, discussed the
cost of milk on the farm. The meet
ing was unanimous in agreement that
the situation this year is abnormal.
The claim was made that the high
cost of bran and middlings, together
with the shortage of pasture so late
in the season, is making it unprotlt-
able to produce milk at current prices,
as paid by the distributors, either at
the farm or delivered in town.
Following the meeting of the pro-
ducers the city dairymen joined the
discussion. Farmers related what
they considered milk is now costing
them and insisted that they could not
afford to market milk at ruling figures
The meeting lasted two full hours. 1t
was a busy session, nearly every pro-
Queer present taking part in the dis
cussion. The city dairymen gave
their side of the argument. They told
why they had cut the wholesale price
of milk on May 1, at the opening of
the spring pasturage season, when in
ordinary circumstances the cost of
growing milk is lowered. 1t was the
fact that milk prices had been lowered
instead of raised to the farmers which
brought them together for a general
discussion.
To Meet Next Wednesday Eve.
The city distributors promised to
think things over for a week and
agreed that they would meet with the
farmers at the courthouse again on
Wednesday evening, May &c.
The chairman of the meeting stated
that they were not present to fix
prices. What was wanted was con-
ference as to cost of milk production,
to get the views and ideas of all pres
ent on this point, so as to be able
to effectively show that wholesalers
are paying too little for milk and that
farmers are losing money on the prop
osition. Some of the farmers thought
that an advance of IS cents per 100
pounds would be about right; others
thought it should be at least 81 above
present prices.
A city dairyman stated Friday that
he was now paying S2.S5 per 100
pounds for milk at the farmers door,
and 1926 delivered at the bottling
plant.

Farm Federation

Some practical steps toward getting
the live stock marketing problem on
better basis are being taken by the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
President J. R. Howard announced
today at Chicago. He said that In
part of its plans the federation is pro-
jecting work not hitherto undertaken
by the federal bureau of crop esti-
mates.
This new work is a uniform quarter
ly cen us Of livestock in feeding which
the federation has arranged with
seven state farm bureau declarations
and their respective county farm bu-
reaus to undertake. Probable dates
Of livestock marketing in ten day per-
iods will also be reported.
The states making this census will
be Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa,
South Dakota, Kansas and Illinois.
The first report will be made July l,
and quarterly thereafter.
Figures on the actual acreage of
the various crops put in will be in
Guided in the census. A number of
states will take these surveys in CO.
operation with the federal bureau of
crop estimates.
Through the knowledge thus OBJ
tanned. President Howard said that
farmers would be better able to esti-
mate receipts at the livestock mar
kets. At present, he said. they ship
to market more or less blindly At
any period when an abnormal situa-
ton is in sight, either Of congestion or
of shortage, warning can be thrown
out to livestock producers and they
can govern themselves accordingly.
This, said President Howard, should
serve to protect the farmer and the
consumer.
The first meeting of the II regional
executive directors Of the national
federation to take place since the an
nual convention will be held in Chi.
cago June "a. At this time a pro-
gram will be adopted for establishing
all the departments authorized at the
annual meeting.
