Wheat The wheat market was
nervous and irregular throughout the
past week, with fluctuations largely
dependent upon the ebb and flow of
the export demand. The British Com
mission has largely dropped out of the
market, as shippers have been notified
that no offers will be entertained un-
til after March 1. Manchurian wheat
and flour is offered England at prices
considerably lower than the basis on
this side So much bearish news is
aflaot exporters at the seaboard were
heavy re-sellers of wheat on each let
up in export demand, and this had a
decidedly bearish effect ON the future
markets.
Belgium bought some wheat, and
there were liberal purchases for Italy
Germany France and Portugal but Ar
gentine news was bearish, and Aus
tralian crop figures tended to depress

shipments predicted from that coun-
try. Publication of the heavy require
ments of Germany we're offset by the
report that a commercial agreement
has been reached between that country
and Soviet Russia, as Russia is said
to have a carry over from several
crops which she WILDE glad to sell TO

IN most counties was more or less in
the position Of a beggar until the
formation OF county farm bureaus, or

AS the farm bureau furnishes a
working basis for county extension
work. so the improved methods of
production, marketing, community de-
velopment and administration of pub
Tic affairs taught by the agricultural
colleges and the United States de-
partment of agriculture through these
extension workers are the foundation
upon which the whole structure of
the farm bureau is built"

HUNTER OF BIG GAME
RELATES EXPERIENCE
IN AFRICAN FOREST
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 21.-A good elephant
yarn is told by ]. Norwood Dowsett,
a well-known big game hunter, who
has just returned from hunting trip
in South Africa.
He was hunting elephants in Ugan-
da when information was brought him
OF the whereabouts of a large herd.
With native chief and a house boy,
he started to find them.
The party came upon the herd in
the forest. Mr.. Dowsett got several
photographs within 20 yards OF the
beasts when the chief warned him that
they had been scented" and that the
animals were coming for them.
Snatching up his rifle Mr. Dowsett
shot and killed the leader, a big bull.
While some surrounded their dead
leader many of the beasts stampeded
and, running the wrong way, Mr.
Dowsett was cut off from the party.
Reloading his gun, the hunter dashed
off for safety and ran into a big bull
elephant which crashed through the
bush six yards in front of him.
Beast Rushes Dowsett.
Trunk aloft, ears extended and
trumpeting wildly, the beast rushed
at Mr.. Dowsett and swept him to the
ground with his trunk and turned rap
idly in its own length ready to tram
pie him.
The hunter took a flying dive under
the monsters belly. realizing he would
then be on the right side of the wind
but the beast turned rapidly round
and again tried to trample him. In
stead the animal rolled him over and
over with its legs and the hunter saw
above him the two great tusks as the
beast tried to Vancouver his body into
position and pick him up. Mr.. Dow
sett managed to roll behind the ami
NAL and get to his feet and make a
rush for cover.
To the hunters relief and surprise
the furious beast set off in the oppos-
lite direction and disappeared.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. sanborn

When top hogs at Chicago closed at
$500 on Wednesday they were at the
low point since the spring of 1916
Moreover they were 1915 below the
top in August, few brief weeks age.
Receipts of live stock have been ex-
cesslve at all markets since strike
threats have filled the air, and this
no doubt is partly if not altogether
responsible for what has happened
Prices went still lower on Thursday
That few fancy $50 pound yearling
steers sold at $12 on Wednesday, is
no criterion of the market. For at
the same time good killing steers sold
as low as ST. and very fair feeding
steers touched Sc during the day.
Very few cattle sold above $40 that
day and the best lambs at $S.35, were
the lowest on the crop. A good class
of feeder lambs sold down to SITS,
and so pound pigs touched bottom at
$3.50, on parity with the poorest
calves. Pigs weighing 1876 pounds
sold early at sS.25 for good ones.
Where are all the sheep coming
from, when 10000 can reach 90 lead
ing markets in single day, against
1885, hogs and $4,000 cattle? This
was the score on Wednesday.
Grain at Lower Levels.
In line with the above are all grain
market prices Wheat is at the low
est at this time of year since 1919.
Corn is the lowest since 1910, or in
II years, with oats down to the level
of 1912
When Lloyd George announced IL
the house of commons on Wednesday
that unemployment in England is the
worst in history, eastern spectators
and exporters began selling in Chi
cago. What happened? Wheat, which
had advanced three cents, broke five
cents and closed around the bottom.
New corn in Chicago
Ten cars of new corn were received
in Chicago on Wednesday. 1t sold at
Al and AZ cents for No. g. and 80 and
40 cents for No. and 5. Sample
grades brought 33 and 81 cents, con-
tanning 21.8 moisture.
Foreign Butter Imports
The average farmer or country
dairyman would frequently be surpris
ed at the quantities of butter we i'm
port, and to know the principal coun.
tries of supply. For example, in a
recent week one Danish steamer
brought in 1880 casks of butter from
Denmark. This sold at from As to
As cents in New York. Two other
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-10-21

vessels arrived a few days later with
$3.50 casks, followed b. another with
1000 casks. We also get a lot of
butter from New Zealand and from
faraway Australia, also some ship
ments from Great Britain and other
countries. Holland ships us lot of
cheese and considerable butter when
our markets are favorable.
Apples Moving Freely
Despite the comparatively small
crop of apples, 1916 cars were receiv-
ed in the principal markets last week
Two thirds of these came from the
boxed apple country. Washington
alons supplying 2.945 cars, New York
and Michigan Baldwins are selling at
81 to $3.50 at Chicago. Fancy Rhode
Island Greetings are worth $40 per
barrel in New York. The northwest
had large crop of apples and New
York state better than fifty percent
OF good crop. At current high
prices there is likely to be as many
apples as the people can afford to
buy; possibly more. Prices quoted are
wholesale, remember
Legal Weight of Blue Grass
The legal weight of a bushel of
Kentucky bluegrass seed is IA lbs, in
nearly all states, says the market re-
porter.
This weight was established years
ago when there was no adequate ma
chimes for removing chaff immature
Kentucky bluegrass seeds, and certain
kinds Of weed and other seeds. With
modern cleaning machinery it has
been possible to double the weight
of a measured bushel of Kentucky blu
grass seed until at the present time
seed weighing 10 to 81 lbs per blu.
shell is most commonly offered on the
market.
Early MouIters are SIackers
Only few years ago the advice
was generally given that the early
moulting hens were the one to save
for winter layers. The theory was
that the early moulting hen was fore.
handed enough to get ready early, so
as to lay the winter egg. The expert
ment stations with their trapnests,
have given the lie to this theory. We
now know, positively, that the early
mounting hen is the drone; that she
molts early and slowly; that she
takes a long vacation, and that she
does not lay the winter eggs. The
truth, as it appears from trapnests
records, is that hens that begin to mott
before Sept. Is usually stay out of

Unable to Raise Auto
From Whitewater Riper

Efforts TO raise the Holzapfel garage
touring car that went careening down
the embankment of the Whitewater
river Tuesday. when an attempt was
made to crank it, thus far have been
unsuccessful
The freak joyride of the empty auto
mobile was caused by accidental NOV
ing OF the gear lever of the car into
reverse by the drivers knee when he
left the car. When an attempt was
made TO crank the machine, the motor
started and the car, being in reverse
gear, slid down the embankment and
landed upside down in the river.

TO HOLD | DAY drive
FOR FARM BUREAU
Especial to the Palladium


SPARTANBURG, Ind, Oct. 21.-De-
cision to stage a one day membership
campaign for the farm bureau, and to
hold an organization meeting for the
campaign on the evening of the second
Thursday of November, was the prin-
cipal business of the Farmers associa-
ton of Green's Fork township, Ran
dolph county, meeting in Spartanburg
Thursday night.
1t was impossible for John Smith,
county president, and R. A. Fields,
county agent, to be present as had
been arranged, and only routine bust
ness was transacted. 1t was an
nounced that the new 10 ton scales
had arrived and would be installed in
the cooperative elevator Immediately.
Arrangements were made for pay
ment of claims of 1912 loss on IS hogs
killed by heat during a cooperative
shipment to Cleveland. Claims are
paid by the association and collected
from the railroad afterward.
Plans were discussed for making the
campaign organization meeting a gala
occasion. A supper will be served and
program arranged, and possible the
newly organized high SCI Dol orchestra
obtained to furnish music. Committees
will be appointed then to canvass the
whole township and finish the cam
paign before the next regular meeting
on the third Thursday in November.

SAYS STATE BAR
ASST N TO DISSOLVE
(Ey Associated Pressl

DAYTON, O., Sept lG.--The vol
untary state par association Of today
is due to give way to an association
erected under state statute to which
every lawyer is required to belong
according to Daniel ". Iddines, Of
this city, president Of the Ohio State
Bar association.
The object sought is protection Of
the public and the legal profession
from the unscrupulous lawyer. The
association would have disciplinary
powers.
A definite movement to this end,
which ha salready made considerable
progress is reported by Mr.. lddings.
He noted that North Dakota has made
all the lawyers Of the state members
of an association which is given broad
powers TO evolve such organization as
it secs fit. The law yent into effect
July !.
In Florida more mprehensive
bill recently passed the state senate.
The Michigan senate has passed a
similar bill and in Ohio one was in
troduced in the senate but failed to
pass. The president Of the Ohio Bar
association added that the Nebraska,
Maryland, Minnesota, Kansas, Idaho,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and
North Carolina associations were
studying the subject.
The plan Of self government for the
bar is not new on this continent ac-
cording TO Mr.. Iddings. it IS in effect
in Canada, he said, while the Inns OF
Court of England, which serve as q
model, have been in existence for cen
turies.
"Only II per cent Of the work of a
lawyer is done in court, the other 83
per cent of his livelihood is earned
away from the all seeing eve of the
judge" lie said. Self discipline and
self government are required now as
never before
