favor OF destroying the grain ex

with such men at its head as those
who told us last fall to hold our wheat

| J. Ogden Armour tells us that "the
wholesale price Of meat is too low.
He insists that the live stock raiser
must get a fair return on his labor and
investment; to which everybody
agrees.
| Asked whether the retail price OF
meat had been reduced in proportion
to the cut in wholesale cost. he said:
Don't ask me that question? Use

With reference to railroad rates he
states that with all other conditions

Oklahoma Wheat Damaged.
1t is now said that the reports OF
damage to Oklahoma wheat are being
confirmed. The statements by crop re
porting experts are being backed ur

threshing machinery orders, according
to some of the manufacturers. A par1
of the southwest has had insufficient
rain, and when showers were reported
in Oklahoma a few days ago, wheat

The poor "downtrodden" farmer
who has felt too poor to buy pound
of cheese since the fight at Vimy
Ridge, should consult some progress

cheaper in a wholesale way, and there
seems to be plenty of it. Choice Wis

The field, of which part was offered
for the experimental plots by d. W.
Scott, Easthaven farm manager, is in
excellent cultivation, according to
Dolan, and should be capable under
proper conditions, of growing a good
crop. Corn will be grown this year,
and wheat drilled in this fall. All
corn will be carefully weighed when
harvested, and the yields of the plots
compared.
The plots are located near the road

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Among the improvements being
made on the Gaar farm north of town
is a drainage ditch which has it's out
let along the east side of the Gaar
road. This ditch is ten feet deep at
the crest of the hill
A trip by way of New Paris, Brat
fetsville and along the New Paris and
Palestine pike, on Friday, showed that
while considerable blowing remains
to be done that few farmers have
planted little corn on well drained
soil. There are some very promising
fields of wheat and a lot of good Glow
er to be seen in the territory covered
One of the sights worth mentioning
was 25 head of high class purebred
Jerseys almost knee-deep in clover on
the Sunnybrae farm two miles west
OF New Madison, in Darke county C.
r., Smoker, owner, has fifty head of
these fine cattle on the place, not
all OF which were in the clover field
referred to.
Farmer Holding Two Crops
We are grinding lot of feed for a
farmer said John w Noakes, of the
New Paris Equity elevator, when we
dropped in on him Friday and heard
the wheels going round. John said
they had managed to buy a few cars
of wheat and had found Cleveland a
pretty fair market. He cited an in
stance where he had shipped a car of
wheat to Cleveland, which he had
tested as No. 2 and which the Cleve-
land concern had graded as No. l and
paid him accordingly. Mr.. Noakes
tells of a farmer living east of New
Westville who is still holding his 1919
wheat crop, also that of 1920.
Favors Board Of Trade
Not all farmers are agreed that
boards of trade should be put out of
business. w. J. LEM of Iowa City
says that a few years ago the Iowa
legislature tried to regulate the ex.
changes doing business in Iowa out
of business, "bu. farmers and ship.

Copper Market Better.

That copper stocks are getting sub

high production of the few companies

various quarters that many properties
which have been closed down since
April will resume operations after the
turn of the year. Although there has
been no great demand for copper metal.

for sa1.41o.7so. and to order the sale
of the stock to the Franklin Securities
Corporation, whose bid. the petitioners
claim. exceeded the Reynolds offer by
ut least $4,000. 600.
The petition was filed By tho Con-
tinentaI Insurance Company Of New
York. owner Of 1000 shares Of Jersey
Central stock. and the Fidelity Phenix

owners OF 2.200 shares
The petition AYERS that uhe proposed

fraud on the rights Of the stockholders
OF the Jersey Central, and asserts that

terested in the Jersey Central and there

Tho petitioners declare that n was tbs
duty Of the Jersey Central directors to
accept the highest responsible bid and
contend that the bid of the franklin
Corporation was In many respects better
than the Reynolds offer. The Franklin
offer. the petitioners state was on a
basis OF the balance sheet of July 81,
1921. while the Reynolds offer was OF
November Is. and. despite the consider
able Increase In the assets OF the coal
company from July 81. the directors ac-
cepted the Reynolds bid.
Stress has been laid on acceptance Of
the Reynolds bid because Of the interest
to be paid on deferred payments on the
purchase price. Although the Franklin
bid did not mention specifically payment
OF interest, yet. the petition declares. the
Franklin Corporation would have paid
interest on the deferred payments be-
cause of the well settled rule on stock
purchases that deferred payments carry
