But virgin wool, and cotton and

to quality and warmth and weight and
we always have had broad demand

That. however, is no reason why we
should not be able to obtain virgin

Hog Quality Improved.
Information from principal stock
yards is that the quality of hogs is
improving. The proportion of 800 to
400 pound packing grades is the small
est in long time. The supply of feed
er pigs, of from 100 to $50 pounds, is
now quite liberal in the west.
Western Corn Prices.
Taking No. 2 mixed or No. yellow
corn as the basis we find that Rich

corn as can be gotten in any western
market. In fact our local farmers are
paying more for corn at farm sales
than could be obtained after shipping
and paying freight and commission.
Sample table prices at Chicago this

FAIR CORN YIELD
PREDICTED THOUGH
ESTIMATE SLUMPS

A fair yield of corn is predicted by
corn crop reporters and farmers of
the vicinity of Richmond, although all
state that the corn this fall will not
be quite equal to the expectations late
in the summer, after the rains had
come.
The amount of the decrease from
the estimates of Aug / is set at 10
bushels, by Frank Blackford, farmer
and crop reporter of Eldorado. His
estimates still show fairly good crop,
however, as he thinks that the yield
will be about so bushels for that re-
gion. Mr. Blackford blames grub
worms for most of the damage in the
last month, saying that ears have not
grown as large as expected, although
the corn is still of good quality
Chinch burs did not do much damage
in that region.
Serious damage from the corn ear
worm, and some from chinch bugs, Is
reported from Webster by Charles
Weadick, farmer of that neighbor
hood. Many ears look as if mice had
| been working on them, and some
have several worms in them" Chincf
bugs are found in large numbers and
have damaged some of the corn, &C
cording TO Mr.. Weadick.
Filling Prevented.
! Other reports from Wayne county
show chaffy corn due to feeding of the
| second crop of chinch bugs, which
| have prevented maturing corn from
filling out as it would otherwise have
done, and large numbers OF ea1
worms. The corn, however, aside
/ from being chaffy, is of good quality
and Will make a fair yield. The yielo
will not be so large, however. IS wa:
| expected earlier in the fall.
Preble county reports the presence
of chinch bugs all over the county
and serious damage from ear worm
| Some fields also have bad infesta
ton of grubs.
/ Preble county reports serious dam
age from corn ear worm, weather con
ditions having been unusually favor
able for them this year. Chinch bug
also have their share of blame, few
| farmers estimating damage from then
at 10 per cent or over. Due to thes'
factors, the crop will be cut from tn
! August estimates but still will be ia
from a failure.
