The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn


The bulge in wheat last Saturday
after a weak opening, came because
of predictions of a hot wave over the
grain states this week. September
wheat made low of s1.131a last week
advanced into the eos, then broke to
S1.16L2 early on Saturday, then
doomed toward the close and jumped
to high of s1.294 on Monday. All
of this was purely speculative action
on a delivery which gives the short
seller an option running to Septem-
Der 80, if he cares to stay by his deal
or total of 10 days from date.
Much may happen to both winter and
spring wheats long before that date.
Corn is selling at 81 per bushel in
Chicago under the prices ruling at
this time last year July corn closed
at 621a on June 10 against s1.622 on
same date in 1920. At the same time
July oats closed at 37A against
S113A on same date year ago, off just
6412 cents by comparison. Cash

The Farmer and His Car
Farm automobile statistics make an
! impressive showing. Taking the
country as a whole there is a car for
every ia persons in the Union. The
| Pacific coast and the northwest rank
first in percentages of cars owned
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan rank well
to the top. But South Dakota boasts
a car for every 50 persons; Iowa has
a car for every SIS and Nebraska one
car for every SO inha bitants. These
are farm states, while Indiana, Ohio
and Michigan all have large manufac
turing cities, and big towns where
wealth abounds. But even so the
farmers in these states own theil
share of the cars.
New York has more motor vehicle:
than South Dakota has people, the
former having more than 65S.000 car;
against $4,000 inhabitants in South
Dakota. But New York state has but
one car for each 1873 persons agains1

Good Farm Liniment
1t seems to be true that a farmer i!
so often in need of a good linimen
that it is the part of wisdom to keel
a bottle of it handy. Now just lini
