Provisions showed gains Of 2ac to Coo.
Corn began to swing upward in value as
soon as the fact became apparent that
promised enlargement of receipts had been
Imperative failure. Almost simultan-
eously, gossip spread that this week would
about end the increased movement of sup
plies of corn from rural sources and that
for the next two months receipts would be
light owing to hindrance from the wheat
oats and hay harvest. Rapidity with
which the small stocks of corn at the prin
cipal distributing centers were being COB
bled up by shippers and industries kept
bears at a disadvantage most of the time,
later. In addition buying of corn vas
also enlivened by adverse reports about
existing field conditions for oats and
spring wheat.
Oats. like corn, reached the seasons
topmost level SO far, crop damage fears
gave the impetus. but profit taking forced
reactions.
Provisions gathered firmness from grain

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. June 19.-All deliveries of corn
today reached new high price record for
the present crop. Absence of selling pres
sure smoothed the way for the ascent. Be-
sides gossip was current that farmers were
refusing TO let go of their holdings. that
the size of country elevator stocks had been
exaggerated and that no. corn was being
loaded other T. an struggling cars. Initial
prices, which ranged from Ac to 24e higher
with July A.T91s to SL79B and September
S1.I0 to S1.T0A, were followed by decided
further gains and then something of a re-
action.
Prospects of a falling off in receipts af-
ter Monday led % fresh gains in the last
hour. The close was unsettled, 1I5c TO &c
net higher with July $lS1@1S1s and
September S1.713s to $171h.
OATS-Commission house buying lifted
oats. After opening unchanged to &c
higher, including September at s61sc to

acted somewhat.

Particularly True in Case Of Per-

Adequate Facilities Would Enable Pro
Queer to Pick His Market and Sell

Advantageous.

Regardless OF the shortage OF labor
and other production problems con-
fronting the farmer, the main cause
for his not securing the full profits due
him can still be traced to insufficient
transportation facilities, Mt the time
he must get his crops TO market. The
farmer who can convert the spoilaGe
on the farm into cash goes long way
toward satisfactorily offsetting every
thing else eating into his returns.
This is particularly true in the case
of highly perlshable produce. also that

Will be to his greatest advantage to do

The farmers in the potato growing
section of Maine have period OF
about seventy days to marSet their
crop. The case of one man In Aroo-
stock county and what he did to put
his yearly returns in the plus column
is not only interesting but typical OF
how these men solved their haulage
difficulties.
This particular grower had 1G0-
acre potato farm situated seven and
one-half miles from railroad. 1t
for a total crop of around 2Al0o0 bar
rels a year. Road conditions were
such that one team OF horses could
haul but 20 barrels to n load and make
but one trip day to the railroad stor-
age house. In other words, he required
20 teams TO handle his crop If he got II
to the warehouse in the 30 days he
tween digging and snow. OF course
all the other farmers OF the commun-
ity were In the same position and nat
urally none of them could secure any
thing like 20 teams. Even If they had
the loads could not have been handled
at the loading platform. Incidently
the haulage cost of the 20 teams would
have been $1,000.
The farmer in question pub the prob

scribed truck for his job. He bought

TO DESTROY JOHNSON GRASS
Crop Of Oats or Wheat viii Keep
Plants in Weak Condition and
Prevent Root Penetration.

If during the early and mid part Of
summer the johnson grass can be kept
short enough TO keep the plants In a
weak condition, comparatively few
root-stalks that penetrate deep into
the ground will be formed. An oat or
wheat crop serves this purpose quite
well. When the Johnson grass is in
this weakened condition, plowing in
August will further wealsen the plants
and will entirely kill many Of them. II
fhe ground then is given clean cultiva-
tion until fall. nearly all of the grass
that is not killed by the cultivation will
freeze out during the winter. In case
n good deal of the grass shows up
after this midsummer plowing 1t may
he advisable to plow in late fall so as
to further expose the roots to freez-
ing.
