ORDERS
CAR OF Fertilizer

WILLIAMSBURG, Ohio, April g.
Upon suggestion of County Agent
Hendricks that fertilizer orders for
corn should be in soon, nearly a car
load was made up from farmers in at
tendance at the first regular meet
ing of the williamsburg farmers asso-
citation. The secretary was appointed
to receive telephoned orders and or
der the carload. The price quoted
was s21.60 for Is per cent acid, which
was the favored fertilizer.
Reports that Greenville township,
trying to get a carload order of fer
tilizer, had been able to get orders
for only three tons from 234 members
at its own meeting, and one and a
half tons from the next township
south, while the biggest order from
the township north was 500 pounds,
were cited as evidence that few farm
ers were using fertilizer this year.
Hendricks announced that a county
manager for livestock shipping asso-
Citations would probably be hired in
the near future. The county agent
stated that any farmer desiring to
ship through a cooperative shipping
association would have share of
stock issued to him, as it had dy
been paid for by his farm bureau fee.
A constitution was adopted and the
regular meeting night set for the third
Monday night of every month, at the
williamsburg Grange hall.

The farmers of Union county finish
ed loading a 1900 bushel car of gift
corn for China on Monday and the
car was started on it's mission Of
mercy on that night. It's contents are
headed for China, by way of Chicago,
where the corn will be kiln dried and
milled, so it is understood.
May corn was selling above $1.65
at Chicago one year ago today. Oats
sold at 80 cents for May and at "a
cents for July on the same date.
One of the reasons for the depres-
sion In the corn trade is the fact that
most of the starch and glucose plants
are closed down. Many of these have
been closed for ten days and there is
no telling just when they will reopen.
few plants are running on reduced
time but the industries are not using
an average amount of corn, nor have
they for several weeks.
With the exception of the year 1918
the visible supply of wheat in this
country is the smallest at this season
in thirty years. The total is less than
100000 bushels against 100000
year ago. Chicago, with millions
sold for export during the next 80 days
has but shade over 1000, 900 bushels
D
Per contra, the present visible sup
ply OF corn at central points of accum-
ulation at this time is more than six
times larger than it was last year on
this date, the total now being $4,000.
900 bushels.
Union County Seed Corn.
Foster Campbell, county agent at
Liberty, says that a number of seed
corn tests, made by various farmers,
shows that the percentage of infertile
seed ranges from Is per cent to as
high of so per cent. He urges the test
ing of all the corn selected for seed
this season. Flowing is now general
in Union county, nearly all the land
being dry enough to work. The farm
ers will hold a meeting at the Dun
lapsville church on Wednesday even
ing and anthoer at Liberty on Friday
night.
Henry c. Wallace, the new secretary
of agriculture, is not only a practical
farmer but also lover of good horses.

is due tomorrow. Market advanced
early on the belief that the severe
liquidation was completed. the small
visible, claims of freeze damage in
western Kansas, and one million corn
for export in two days. The late break
was on the rains in Kansas, Oklahoma
and Nebraska. Wheat receipts looks
liberal. British coal labor crisis is a
drag on most markets. Crop promises
mainly good. Markets are near the
end of long decline and should not
be sold on breaks.

NJ. L. Halter since having his
fortune told a THE Carnival
has been looking every
where for the lucky half dollar
which the Gypsy Queen told him
to get, but the worst is yet to
come the half dollar in question
is of date which was never
coined so it will be hard to get
and harder to keep.

Bid hear scmeo ask, w hat is the
American Legion Surely everyone
knows what the American Legion is,
means and stands for. In case there
is someone who does not know the fol-
lowing lines might not be out Of
place. The American Legion is an
organization, composed exclusively
Of return soldiers, and it is becom-
ing a mighty factor for good in this
country This new power in Ameican
folds ITSELF free from all party en-
tanglements but is willing and ready
strike where the hest interest Of the
nation demands it It stands for
Americanism solidly based upon that
principal the American Legion was
formed The one main object of each
Legion post is TO the Community bet
terment. Working in conjunction
with the Woman's Auxiliary, great
and numerous things can be accom-
plished.
One thing in particular that the
local post desires to accomplish that
worthy to mention is some artillery
pieces for the city Park. Already
communications have been mailed re-
garding these field pieces, and we
hope to have something definite by
the next issue of this paper If we
are able to obtain coisson, a three
inch field piece and other interesting
army equipment, the people of Beling-
ton will have the chance of seeing
something that they have never seen
before. 1t is our plans to obtain these
pieces, mount them on concrete base
and arrange to make them a perman-
ent fixture in the park. 1t is our in
formation that these pieces can be
obtained by the American Legion pro-
viding we pay the freight from ship
ping point to destination. Can we
pay the freight? Think it over and
let US know your views. Would it be
possible for the citizens of Belington
to get together on this proposition
The big question, does Belington want
these pieces for the park? Let us
know
Another thing, we want some sort
of Memorial for the men who were
killed in the service. Why couldn't
we get large river boulder, mount
it on a concrete base, and have the
names of Kramer, Simmons, Ice, My
ers and Channel on a bronze plate
embedded in the rock? Could there
be anything more filling for those
fine stalwart youths, who died that
we might live and enjoy the prosper
ETY. during the last few years :?
Though they are gone, and gone fore
ever, memories still linger in the souls
of their relatives but l fear the com
munity as whole has forgot their
great service they rendered and the
supreme sacrifice that they made.
Such things cost money-with money
we can do a geat deal-where will the
money come from?
