This is one Of the quiet seasons on
the farm and therefore mighty good
time for circus to come to town.
This was evidenced by the crowds
from ruraldom in Richmond on Fri
day.
There are farmers, however, who
would rather do their fall blowing
while the ground is in condition from
recent rains than attend the most
magliferous circus that ever paraded.
You name them. We have forgotten
| Just who said industrious farmers
are.
Careful readers of our market page
CLEAN lot of valuable information.
| Such readers have noted on Friday
that crea merry butter and butterfat
we're on a parity in Richmond, each
! selling for A cents per pound. A
dozen of eggs and pound of country
! butter also were on parity at 80
cents. These facts particularly inter-
est the lady of the house. but to the
man behind the pillow the prices of
hogs, cattle and veals are distinctly
more important, also the grain mar
kets, all of which are covered daily
in this paper
If you attended the Dublin Free
Fair last fall, you will be glad to
know that this enterprising bunch is
arranging for another one this year.
| Thursday and Friday, Sept. l and 2,
are the dates. You will find the 81
page premium list quite interesting.
| There are some districts where the
Grange leads the farm bureau in mem
bership, notably in Preble county. The
Grange recently increased its mem
bership in New Garden township. hay-
ing among its members some of the
farm bureau folks, and conversely
there are old-time Grange members
/ also associated with the farm bureau.
The Grange recognizes the farm bu-
reau as a business orga nlzaton, anu
the farm bureau appreciates the
grange as a social institution. This
makes a good partnership IN any ru-
raj community.

Il Under an act of congress the de-
partment is authorized to license and
bond cotton, grain, tobacco, wool and
, flaxseed warehouses that come up to
: certain euuirements. The receipts
issued by the warehouses are of ap-
: proved, standardized form, and are
: looked upon by banks generally as ex
) ceptionally high-grade collateral for
: loans to growers.
: The farm bureau plans, when in
, shape for action, to see that the larg
er and better class of cooperative
elevators, and those which are in the
pool in particular, are bonded as
above the law provides. This will be
absolutely necessary ii it is desired
to borrow money from federal reserve
banks on the contents of elevators OF
warehouses containing farm commodl
ties.

The following report of small cot
ton pool in Texas tells its own story
of the value of pooling and co-opera
tive marketing of goods that can be
| properly graded according to recos-
niZed standards.
Three hundred bales of cotton were
. placed in the pool. Individually, the
: growers had been offered from to
IT cents a pound for the cotton on their
local market The entire lot was
classed by representatives of the fed

to owners The samples were ther
forwarded to Dallas and the cotton

sold at 1925 cents pound average
Corn Borer Quarantine.

have been changed to make that

: borer in check and combining it to
sections of New York and severa
, New England states where it was
originally discovered in this country
