The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

The farmers of Franklin and New
Garden townships have been circular
lied by the presidents of the townships
with relation to the new live stock
shipping association at Fountain City.
The circular letter states that Charles
Clifford, Fred Mitchell and Toney
Strong are the directors and that Ben
Wright, of Fountain City. will manage
the shipping. Mr.. Wright, the letter
states, will get a percentage for his
services in listing, loading and ship
ping" also that every car of stock
shipped will be duly insured. so that
if you lose an animal in transit you
will be paid for it." The letter is
signed by Raymond Farsi, president Of
Franklin, and George Myers. president
OF New Garden township.
Those Grand Champion Steers
John Hubly's grand champion steers
at the International sold for 40 cents
per pound at auction, at Chicago, and
the car lot was divided between two
market concerns at Washington and
Boston. The eight head going to
Washington are designed to be served
to the participants in the disarmament
conference in the form of Christmas
beef
Lula Mayflower, grand champion
heifer, sold at s1.10 per pound. Lulu
comes from California and goes to
Cleveland, Siebold Brothers, market
men being the high bidders.
Colorado won the award for grand
champion bull at the International
with Kinklivington King, a bull of the
Milking Shorthorn breed, and owned
by the Bowvus farms at Denver.
Corn Was King in 1919
The census bureau, dealing only
with 1919 crops and prices, claims that
corn is still king, and places its money
value at the head of 90 principal
crops.
Farmers who recall the money re-
ceiyed for their corn all during 1919
and for the crop of that year during
that fall and until the crop of 1920
came on the market, doubtless will
agree and will admit that corn was"
king. Like this writer, they may have
doubts as to the crop of 1921 figuring

eral hundred dollars were realized by
the Ladies Aid of the Methodist
church of Hagerstown in a chicken
supper and two day Christmas ba-
zaar which was conducted in the new
church building, Thursday and Friday.
The receipts will be turned into the
building fund to pay on the building.
An attendance of 125 shared the
chicken dinner Thursday night, while
the continuous two day bazaar also
gathered a respectable amount
The committee in charge of booths
at the bazaar was composed of George
Harlan, DR.. Ramsey, Mrs. Bertha Rey-

so high in the scale of royalty, unless
prices shall very literally advance
from present quotations.
1t is conceded, of course, that prices
of all grains. cotton and livestock are
lower than at any time in the last
two years. Therefore, it is possible
that in some future summary corn
will be found to have maintained its
relative supremacy, owing to the size
of the crop grown this year and re-
CARELESS of loss by mold and the great
shrinkage in price
Over 81 per Bushe
The Washington report for 1919
gives the total values of the 20 lead
ing crops as aggregating about $13,-
750,000,000, of which corn is credited
with a total value of S3,507, 1877, 102.
Next to corn came hay and forage,
s2.523, 100000; cotton and cotton seed,
S2,355, 600, 900, followed by wheat at
$2074, 900, and oats with a valua-
ton of but 1856, 100000. 1t will be
observed that the corn crop of 1919
was figured at little better than 81
per bushel
Fear the Packers.
The department of justice commit
tee at Washington in considering the
advisability of modification of the
court decree affecting the packers.
Numerous witnesses are present 10
protest at the hearing and are eX-
pressing a fear that the Big Five
meat packers will obtain control of
the distribution of all food products
if permitted to re-enter the grocery
business"
The wholesale grocery trade of the
country is almost unanimous in its
fight against modification of the dc
cree. A ST. Louis man said; The
real and vital issue at stake is wheth-
er the government desires to foster
independent and competitive business
or whether it intends to sanction mo-
nopoly.'
Our farm readers will remember the
fight made to separate the meat trade
from all side lines, not a real par OF
that business. as considerable space
was devoted TO this subject when the
fight was on.

FORMER LOCAL GIRL
EARNS LAURELS IN
KANSAS CITY DEBUT

MIS-. Leon Hinkle. of Kansas City,
Mo, who was formerly Miss Catherine
Ensminger, of this city, this season
made her debut in a recital at the
Hotel Muehlebach in Kansas City. She
is hailed as the most promising young
soprano of the season there by the
press and has been given the scholar
snip offered by the Kansas City Mus
zeal club for the most promising stu
dent entering its annual contest.
Mrs. Hinkle visited in this city last
summer with Mr. and Mrs. Adam H.
Bartel and Mr.. and Mrs. F. W Fled
deriOhn when on her way to SchrOOn
Lake, y. y, where she has been study
ing and coaching in the summer with
Oscar Seagle. She is a sister Of Mrs.
John FIedderjohn, of Indianapolis.
Her debut in Kansas City. Mo.
which was made on Nov. 8, evoked the
following comment from the Kansas
City Times:
Mrs. Leon Hinkle a young soprano
of marked talent. made her debut last
night in a recital at the Hotel Muehle-
bach. before an audience warmly en-
thusiastic. 1t was justifiable enthus-
iasm. for Mrs. Hinkle has a voice of
limpid sweetness, evenly developed
and employed with freedom. She has,
in addition. naturally charming style
and flaming temperament.
II the aria from La Boheme" there
was the glamour that no mere vocal
Ioveliness can compass if the singing
temperament is lacking. A certain
mental alertness and refinement in
phrasing made the scene from PUG
cinis opera amazingly successful.
The Handel and Mozart numbers at
the beginning of the program lost a
little OF their placidity through nerv-
BUSINESS, but this handicap disappeared
toward the end OF the second group,
and the high tones were pure and
round, never cold and often charming
ly colored. The Fairy Piper" sung
as encore, was delicate as thistle
down. At the end OF the program the
audience exacted a second encore"
