The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Reports from the elevators owned
by the Farmers National Grain asso-
citation at Kitchell, Boston, Wits Sta
ton and Fountain City are to the
effect that folks are beginning TO take
notice of the prospect that summer
may not last the balance of the year.
This is indicated by the fact that they
are talking coal and buying coal, not
in large way as yet, but enough to
show that they are beginning to appre-
ciate the situation. Mr.. Price says
that this is also true as to the de-
mand for coal here in town, at the
elevator
All the elevators mentioned are pay
ing $1.18 for No 2 wheat today. This
is an cent advance over recent prices
which held on for nearly month.
George Richards and Son of New
Paris, reports arrival of two cars of
coal this week, and growing demand
for fuel He said that on present
market basis they could pay so cents
for old corn. They took in a little
wheat Friday and paid s1.15 for it.
He also said that farmers were now
selling few oats. He purchased oats
literally at harvest time and has a
considerable amount in store, in an
ticipation of better prices later
