of his poultry until he could carry it to his home.
 As I told you, this happened long before MT. Fox was clever; he would not do such a thing now.
 So he called on MT. Possum and told him if he would take care of the chickens he would give him two fine ones to pay for his kindness.
 MT. Possum said he would and that he would store them safely away un- der a rock by his house where there was a cave.
 MT. Fox trotted back and forth all night with fat chickens which he put in the cave under the rock, but he did not know that as fast as he put them away MT. Possum carried them to an- other part of the woods P When it was almost daylight MT. Possum took another chicken and de- parted for good, and when MT. Fox looked into the cave he found only few of the many chickens he had placed there.
 MT. Possum was nowhere to be found. He had moved bag and bag gage to another home, but MT. Fox hunted until he found him, and the trouble began.
 MT. Possum said he was not the same MT. Possum. 'T never lived in the place you speak of, and I do not lsnow about any rock or cave or chick ems; you have the wrong fellow, MT. Fox" he said.
 MT. Fox was surprised at the bold of MT. Possum, for he was sure he was the one he was looking for; still there was chance that he mad made mistake.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Two large fields of wheat were har-
vested at Reidston, one lying north
and the other south of the National
highway Both fields were sown
from the same lot of seed but, strange
TO state, while the field to the north
suffered badly from rust, the south
ern field was IN fine condition, and
without sign of rust. But something
else happened to the southern Held.
1t showed a slight invasion of chinch
bugs, but not with apparent damage
to the wheat. The bugs are now get
ting out into the cornfield on the
north and in order to head them off
Arthur Curme laid down a barrier on
Tuesday The usual trench was plow-
ed and the Purdue oil mixture applied.
The invasion is not heavy and it is
hoped to hold the first brood bugs in
check.
A few bugs are reported in the air
today, but as a matter of fact an in
spection of one of the devasted sec
tions Friday showed plenty of craw-
ling worms but we failed to note any

will be almost as numerous as ever
during this summer and fall. This is

Mr.. Showalter breeds the Owen

WHEAT PRICE RISES
WITH RUST REPORTS;
CROPS ARE UNCERTAIN
(Bv Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 9.-Black rust in
Canada and adverse domestic thresh-
ing returns have been effective to-
ward making wheat average higher in
price this week Values this morning
compared with a week ago ranged
from 1ac off to an advance of &c.
Corn showed loss of IS to 1as cts.
Oats were &c lower to a shade higher
and provisions gained 212c to Csc.
Before developing strength. the
wheat market temporarily underwent
a sharp decline in connection with re
lief from drought and excessive heat
in the northwest In certain quarters,
it was regarded as doubtful whether
the crop in South Dakota and parts OF
Minnesota could still be helped by
the better weather. This uncertainty
was made much of by the bulls, and
the upturns which followed were CIV
en- decided impetus by attention to
threshing returns from the winter
crop, especially an estimate that de-
terioration in Missouri amounted to
ten million bushels compared with the
prospect a month ago. Then came
news that black dust had appeared in
Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and it
was generally conceded that the out
look for damage there was much
more serious there than in the region
to the south.
Liberal receipts and slowness of
shipping call tended to weaken corn
and oats.
