The Farm and The Farmer
By WILLIAM r. SANBORN

now. Will market 90 head of my own
cattle in a few days and shipped a car
of my own hogs in January.
CALEB STARBUCK, Winchester
Hardly know what to say as to prob
able summer prices for hogs and
cattle. Very few cattle are being fed
Just now and some have sold feeders
at loss, rather than to hold and feed
and take chances. Fat hogs are still
being shipped here but are naturally
thinning out.
Doubtful on Hogs.
Don't believe we shall raise as many
hogs this year as last but | shall feed
a couple of carloads for market, in
addition to my registered Big Type
Polands for my regular sales. Have
also got bunch of pure blood Short
horns, as always.
Taking things as a whole the gen
eral outlook for prosperous farm op-
erations this year is most encourag
ing, as | see it. True, there will be
some cut in acreage planted where
men have more land than they have
help to cultivate, but otherwise my
guess is that every acre will be ut;liz-
ed in the regular rotations. Farmers

FARMERS FREE sPENDERS

r. H. WH1TESELL, Eaton-While
claiming no gift of prophecy, / believe
in somewhat higher prices for hogs
next summer, possibly in 80 days or
so. Hogs must advance if they are
to keep pace with cost of feed and
other farm products, and if shippers
are to make any money. We have
IFS feeders left on the farm, are going
ahead regardless, and will plant as
usual, having all needed help arranged
for.
Some of our neighbors are not so
fortunate, for labor was never scarcer
and in such cases little acreage
may be cut. In the main. however,
we shall all plant as in other years
Our farmers are still prosperous
enough 70 buy freely for all their
needs, and so far as | know very few
are complaining, except that present
live stock prices do not suit them.
Reports favor big crop of spring
pigs. Am speaking of outlook in this
vicinity, in other places it may be diff
fenert.
Takes Optimistic Views
BERT ISENBERGER, Lynn Sew
eral farmers have told me that they
were going to feed fewer hogs, but
when the skies are blue and the fields
are greening. we'll, they may decide
differently, especially, of markets are
better.
l judge that the trend will be up
ward shortly and that better than
present prices will rule on hogs next
summer. 1 shall feed at least a car
load of hogs myself. Used to buy
and ship but not in that business

MILO GENTRY, Greensboro Am
not looking for high market on hogs
the coming summer; supplies of meats
and foreign demand are against an
advance, generally speaking, but much
will depend on the receipts of hogs at
central markets later on.
Don't think we shall raise as many
hogs around here as we have been
doing; feed is too costly and corn too
high for the price farmers are getting
for hogs. Regardless of that l con-
slider the farming outlook fair, and
guess everybody will plant all they are
able to take care of.

Calls Off Bouts
To Meet Turner
For Large Purse

The wrestling bout Thursday night
between Frank Burns. of Flint. Mich,
and Joe Turner. the local mailman.
should prove a thriller. as the local
grappler is all afire to regain the mid
dle-weisht title, while Burns IS anx-
i"us to carry the top-notch honors of
this class.
When Burns defeated Turner two
weeks ago, the local wrestler felt that
he could win if given another chance.
1t is said by those on the inside that
each man agreed on a private bout In
local gymnasium for a $500 side bet.
Each man had posted his money.
Manager Garrison figured that with
such feelings existing between the
two men, it was just the sort of a
bout he would like to stage at the
Folly, and he at once started to talk
business with the grapplers. offering
them a tempting purse of $500 to make
it public affair.
Burns claims to have had an en-
Tagement at Fort Wayne. Ind. but ne
cancelled the engagement. because.
with the victory here and the purse
offered by Manager Garrison. he
would more than triple the offers
made by the Western promoters.
