The Williamsburg elevator shipped
out a car of wheat to Cincinnati on
Wednesday. Carl Wilson said that this
grain had cost them from $1.25 to
$1.30 per bushel. He states that while
farmers and feeders are doing a little
business in corn right along that the
elevator has been unable to buy any
on a shipping basis. He said that in
view of the proposed coal strike he
was glad to inform their customers
that they had good supply of Crystal
block coal, also lot of Pocahontas.
Mr.. Wilson says that considerable
feeding is being done and that he has
heard no complaint of hog diseases in
some time
What Mr.. Gustafson Claims
In his address before the Grain
Growers convention now in session at
Chicago. President Gustafson said that
the executive committee had spent
much time and money in an attempt to
effect satisfactory working relations
with other grain selling organizations.
In referring to the accomplishments
of the Grain Growers up to this time
President Gustafson claimed that he
had been told that more than $4,000
members had been enrolled, represent
ing an annual harvest of more thar
| 100, 100000 bushels of grain, and con
tracts are to run for five years. By
grain he doubtless referred to wheat
as the membership, being almost ex
clusively in the corn belt, nothing bu
wheat could be meant. Mr. GustafsoI
said that this piece of work was
worth at least 100000, but has no
cost nearly that much" Well, gentle
men, we should hope not.
| The Grain Growers will be repre-
scented at Jacksonburg at the farm
bureau meeting on Thursday evening
by a couple of good speakers who ar
members of the membership soliciting
staff These gentlemen spoke at Alb
ington on Tuesday night and at Boston
on Wednesday evening. We also un
derstood that G.. o. Williams, superin
tendent of Wayne county schools, i
to deliver an address, also that Mis-
Harmon, superintendent of domesti
science, will tell of the work of tn
sewing and cooking being done by tn
school girls The Jacksonburg folk
are evidently lined up for an interes
ing evening.
