BLACKBOARD TALKS ON
PRICE OF Fertilizer

ELDORADO. O., Jan. frank
Blackford issued the following state
ment today:
Can the farmer buy fertilizers at
the prices the agents are limiting at
will obtain this spring is a problem
now confronting many who are per-
sistent users. At a very representa-
tive attendance at the annual meeting
of the Monroe Equity Exchange, aft
er a general consideration of the sub
ject, it was voted to buy no fertilizer
until the manufacturer had made a
very severe reduction in the price
from what the agents are limiting will
obtain this spring.
Il still believe, with the prices
which the manufacturers were to ask
and the prospective very low prices
we will receive for our crops l could
still make a profit from their use, yet
| am convinced that / should forego
any such profit until the manufacture
er takes his dose of deflation with the
rest of us.
1.-THE appeal tomaximum production
is not very potent one just now,
many believing that to curtail produc-
ton would be good business and am
assured that with what seems to be a
prohibitive price for fertilizer price
that can in no sense be justified the
wise plan is to allow the manufacture
er to rest with their product on hand
until they conclude to take off with
the rest of the common one-third OIL
and to bring it down to a pre-War
basis"

BUSINESS DEPRESSION
over, SAY FARMERS
OF PREbLE COUNTY

Evidence that the worst of the de-
preston has passed and that improve
ment can be expected from now oil,
is the development of an inquiry con-
Quoted in Preble county THURSDAY.
Farmers are determined not to pay
exorbitant prices but are buying more
literally for their immediate needs.
Things have opened up in the last
Is days" said H. E. Billman, of the
New Madison Grand company, Thurs
day. Farmers are beginning to buy
more than in the fall, though it is still
very little, almost nothing at all in
comparison with former years. Many
are having us grind their own feed,
because of the very low prices for
grain, as compared with the relatively
higher prices for commercial feeds.
Miller, of the Farmers State Bank
Of Eldorado, says farmers deposits
during the past week have shown a
decided increase, and one day had sci
record for several past weeks Most
of the money comes from hog ship
ments. Although little buying is being
done at present, there is evidence that
the situation is loosening up.
That the farmers have no intention
of paying high prices is evidenced by
the work of the cooperative elevator
at West Manchester, which is so oc
cupied with grinding feed for the
farmers from their own grain, that i,
finds little time to do its own work
E. c. Troutwine, the manager, says
''All the feeders are grinding theil
own feed now, on account of the diff
ference in prices"
King, of the New Madison bank, in
timated that the farmers of his com
, munity were in a position to weather
the hard times. There was not 81
much land trading here" he said, "a!
; at some other places, and many buyer!
had the money to pay for the lanc
they bought. Our land prices increas
ed only about SO per cent here, bu
! there was some speculation in op
| tons"
1--WE marked down our prices OF
feeds we bought before the drop, ant
by accepting our loss, they are begin
ming to move" said J. W. Noakes
manager of the Equity elevator il
New Paris.

PARCEL POST MAIL
KEEPS TRUCKS BUSY

Delivery Of parcel post mail from
the Richmond post office which for
merly required the services of a one
horse wagon part of the day. when the
service was first started, has increas-
ed until two trucks are busy through
out the day, in caring for this branch
of the service, according to Postmaster
c. o. Beck.
Merchants have found the parcel
post service to be an aid to their bust
ness instead of detriment, as was an
ticipated at first, it is said.
Many merchants in the small towns
who feared the advent of the parcel
post service would drive them out Of
business, now look on it as one of the
most serviceable features of their bus
mess, it is asserted.
Receipts in the past six years have
increased from $4,000 per year to
$162, 900. While some of the increase
was due to the growth of the parcel
post business, a large part of it was
due merely to the normal increase in
growth of all classes of mail.
