Wheat Prices Go To Pieces
The recent break in May wheat
will be deplored by all farmers. Here
we are coming closely to new crop
offerings and it is depressing to face
a break in May and cash wheat OF
such proportions, at the wind-up of
the month and deal. May wheat sold
up to around S147 within past two
weeks Last week it made a high Of
$751; on Tuesday, only to break to
low of $1241a on Saturday. This
was bad enough in all conscience but
on Monday it struck $1.18& just at
the close.
This being Memorial day there is
no market, and nothing of much i'm
portance can happen on Wednesday,
the May deal being practically set
tied at this time The only satisfac-
ton to be gotten out of such a, stu
alton is the fact that July wheat is
, as high as the May, and even the Sep
TENDER delivery is up to $1.17. With
| the big fight in May out of the way
| and with millions of bushels of wheat
| delivered into strong hands, and paid
| for, the decks are once more cleared
for action The men who own SO

. no mood to take losses on it; that

The Farm and the Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

If you have driven west over the
Green's Fork Hagerstown pike within
a week, and have slowed down at the
John Bunnell White Leghorn farm,
you noted, of course, that the green
grass plots were all starred with
white chickens. The landscape seems
alive with them, from full grown birds
to the chicks running in and out of
the brooder house, which form an east
to west to the rear of the home en-
closure. John says he is raising few
er chickens than usual this year but
will have an many as he cares to
winter.
The BunnelI home stands on the
north side of the road, facing to the
south. To the east of the driveway
the visitor who is looking for flow
ers rather than chickens, will discover
a blaze of color. There are long rows
of beautiful Towering plants border
ing the drive, notably a choice assert
ment of Peonies, intermingled with
that miracle of the East, the Oriental
Poppy Right now the flowers are at
their loveliest and hundreds of the
great blooms were used on Sunday to
decorate the graves of the loved and
lost in tender remembrance, and still
more were used on Memorial day.
Mr.. Bunnell's idea is not merely to
be known as a purveyor Of baby
chicks, or the raiser of show birds,
but as the owner of an egg farm. His
birds are bred for laying and in or
binary circumstances he has found his
best market in New York City But
New York prices have slumped under
tremendous receipts this spring and
he has recently quit shipping east.
While it is true that the chalk-White
egg of the industrious Leghorn com
mands a premium in New York City,
just as do the big brown egg in the
aristoCratic clubs and homes of Bos-
ton, still, shippers of white eggs have
not found the New York market quite
as profitable since early April, as in
former years. The premium over
western prices have not been so large
as usual.
Rain in Sheets
The Walnut Level country and
Green's Fork bottoms. had a full
share of the rain which fell late on
Friday afternoon. For a few hour
the low lands were flooded but nc
real damage was done except the
washing out of a culvert here and
| there, perhaps. and another delay in
getting in the last of the corn crop
We stopped at the Lewis Kinsey homt
on Sunday afternoon. and took a peep
at some of his fine Shorthorns, OF
which he has fifty head in the past
ures, including a dozen youngsters, Of
which several more are expected
| during summer and fall. Mr. Kinsey
| said that excepting a few acres all

his corn was in and lot of it had
broken through. The rain had de-.
layed his completing the Job but all
his corn ground was ready for the
planter, on Monday morning.
1t seems a moral certainty that all
the corn to be planted in the Rich
mond radius this spring will be in by
the end of this week, but had YOU
made the long drive over country
roads with us on Sunday, you too
would have been surprised at the
amount of bare earth visible, not all
Of which was planted, and of which
but a comparatively small portion
showed the tender corn blades reach
ing into the sunlight. But a few more
warm days will transform the scene
and even now many farmers have
completed their first cultivation of
almost invisible corn.
The time when wheat will show
color isn't far away. 1t is in the head
ing out stage and one can almost see
it grow from day today And that
isn't all. OF course there are thin

until recent years We have cut and

SHELBYVILLE. Ind. May 30.-An
, intensive campaign of education as TO
food value Of milk and its various
uses, has been launched by Shelby

An ordinance also has been intro
duced in the city council with the
