The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

September corn made two new low
records on the close of the deal on
Friday, when il struck the low of the
season and option at 467s cents. But
that is but half the story. Corn sold
at the lowest point for this season
since the fall of 1903, at Chicago, last
week. Can any one give US the an
swer?
The very latest tabulation on our
1921 oat crop places it at SO per cent
under that of last year. The final 1920
estimate was 1926, 00O, 900, against a
shade over / 1000 600 900 this season.
Worse and more of it, the measured
bushel weight this year is but 286,
against 33.1 pounds last year. So far
as bulk and actual feeding weight is
concerned, this disparity still further
reduces the size of the present crop.
Among the price reductions made
in Richmond last week was a cut of
two cents in the buying price Of
chickens. to IS cents per pound. anG
drop of two cents on oats to 80
cents per bushel. Eggs advanced one
cent to SO cents per dozen, and cream
cry butter was marked up to 45 cents,
at wholesale. During the week barrel
salt was marked down to 1925, a
drop of 20 cents.
Farmers Need Markets.

is not more credit but more markets, y

Future Corn Price Outlook.
Charles d. Micnaels, of the Chicago
Tribune, . close observer and we'll
informed, discusses corn as follows:
"A more conservative feeling to-
ward the bear side of corn is noted
amongst commission houses, and
while majority continue to look for
lower prices. the persistent claims
of disappointing husking returns and
of serious worms and mold, and other
damage, is resulting in belief that
the market may be getting close to
the lowest figure for some time.
Mr.. MichaePs comment on mold and
earworm damage is in line with the
facts developing in husking over a
wide area. We have much of this
complaint in Indiana, and we have
personally observed such damage in
Wayne corn fields, but not, so far
in a large way.
Stockholders Everywhere.
When we speak OF the Armours, the
Swifts, the Wilson's. and a few of the
other large packing corporations, the
average man has been given to con-
sidering these great houses" as fam
lily concerns. We have been suppos-
ing that the younger generation of
these trade builders are in individual
control as owners of most of the
stock. However this may have been
in the early days, this is no longer
true.
For example, Swift & company mail
ed out more than $4,000 checks last
Saturday in payment of the quarterly
dividend. 1t is said that not alone
were checks mailed to every state in
the union, but to every country on
the planet, where Swift securities
have found their way. Every country
in Europe, and also Africa, Japan.
Hawaii, the Philippines and Alaska,
were included in this disbursement.
Now, then, it would take 900 of the
largest stockholders to vote 81 per
cent of the Swift stock, which makes
the control of this giant corporation
far from being a family matter. 1t is
| further stated that $4,000 of the stock
holders are women. A large number
of the employees are on the share
| holders list.

SETTLEMENT
 NOW RESTS WITH TOXIC

Washington, Dec 20.-(By the A. PD Settlement of the Shantung controversy now rests with Tokio.
 The conversations between the Japan ese and Chinese delegates, which have been proceeding during the past three weeks outside of the Wa shington confer ence, under the good offices" Of Arthur J. Balfour of Great Britain and MT Hughes late today came to a sudden halt with both delegations far apart on the question of payment for and admins tration of the Tsingta o-Tsinanfu railway, the heart of the dispute.
 After a session lasting more than three hours and a half. which conference cir cles hoped would bring about c satisfac- tory agreement between the two groups the Japanese delegates announced they could go no further in the conversations without instructions from Tokto The meeting then adjourned sine die without agreeing on the major issue.
 We got to the point wfere he coull not proceed any further" sai1 Dr. Roo, of the Chinese delegation, adter the meet ing.
 The principal stIn1olln,. block, which was rega rded tonight as threatening the entire Shantung negotiations, was the Japanese proposa. that Japanese experts t.. ai pointed by the Chinese in the ser r;2e cf the railway.
 ''We have already gone beyond cur in- structions and can go no further with out receiving instructions from Tokio, said Mir Hanihara. the principal Japanese delegate attending the conversations
 "We have made concessions after con sessions until we can make no more The chinese delegates have receded on nc point ''
 Replying to a question Mir Hanihara said that the Jaoanese considered the question of appointment of a Japanese traffic manager of their railway as "es- sential to an agreement" as a safeguard to efficient operation of the road snd to assure protection to the Japanese fin ancial interests involved

 For Famine Russia
Senate Late Yesterday Passed the House Bill. With Two Amendments.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The senate late today passed the house bill appropriat- ing $20,000,00 for the relief of the starv- ing and distressed in Russia, with two amendments, one appropriating $500, 900 to be used for the hospitaliz ation of former service men in Arizona, and the other setting aside $100,000 for the use of the government in relieving unem- ployment.
 In the course of the debate Senator Wadsworth, republican, New York, de clared that he did not propose to let the senate continue to fool the farmer His statement followed an explanation by Senator Nelson. republican, Minnesota, htat the bill would not only permit alo- sorption of some of the grain now held throughout the country but would trade channels with Russia
 Such talk" Mir Wadsworth said, 'is mislea ding to the farmer. It may make him think that the purchase of the grain will enhance prices of his products That's not true, it's fal1acious in every re- spect, the move is not economic It is purely charitable and I want the coun- try to know it. !"
 Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, who led the fight for the bill, answering Sen ator Wadsworth suggested to the sen ate that it could do little to "rehabili- tate or remake" people who "are dyine

ESKIMO LOVE STORY
 TEENS WITH TRAGEDY

Edmonton, Alberta, Dec. 20-A weird story of Eskimo love Snd ruthlessImur- der was brought in by messenger today from the icy region of Wager's Bay. 30 miles east of the Huddon's Bay Trading Post-nearly five months after the quintuple tragedy occurred A sixth vic- tim was reported seriously wounded
 The slayings according to the report received at mounted police headauar- ters, revolved about the amours of a trader named oEo Binder.
 Binder. the report said, became at tracted by the wife of an Eskimo, and her husband and the husbands father volunteered to find Binder another Es- kimo woman equally attractive.
 Setting out on their search, they came to hut in which they found a woman they thought would be attractive to Bin der. The only drawback was that this woman also was married, and her hus- band refused to part with her. The bride hunters solved the problem by shooting and seriously wounding the husband. His cousin, however. took of fense and shot the younger of the pair
 The elder then opened fire, but also was slain by the cousin after he had ex- hausted all his ammunition The cousin then proceeded to slay the woman to saNe whom husband and father had started on their bride quest
 This left a four year old girl father less and motherless so she was strangled to death by one of the 'head men" ot the district.

Vague Testimony
 By Watson Witness
George Taylor Uncertain as to Number of Executions He Witnessed in France.

Washington. Dec. 20.-None of the six witnesses appearing today before sen- ate committee was able to give first hand evidence to support charges by Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia, that Ameri- can soldiers had been hanged without trial in France.
 George H. Taylor of Philadelphia, thin and frail, and under treatment as he himself explained, for epilepsy, declared that he had seen twelve soldiers hanged, or one more than the number officially listed by the war department as executed in accordance with courtsmartial verdicts approved by General Pershing. Taylor, confused as to the number of victims, testified at first that he had seen three, and then under direct questioning in- creased his figures to four, jumping final ly to twelve. OH of these. he declared were put to death in and around Is-Sur- Tile in the period from April to June, 1919.
