The Farm and the Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

The cigar leaf growers in the Miami
valley are once more facing their al
nual problem, to sell or not to sell
The crop is admittedly of good quality
in the main, regardless of the late
wet spring and the midsummer dry
spell. There are spots, OF course
where the quality is somewhat infer
ior. We have been told that this Is
true of some of the crops in the
Camden district.
"A few local or speculative buyers
have picked up few crops around
New Madison, Otterbein and Pales
tine" said W. B. Eddins of Eldorado
"but we have been unable to quote
have been on the basis of IL cents, Wa
understand. Our tobacco growers are
not to accept this figure"
Mr. Eddins is buyer in his section
for the big Newburg concern, at Ham
ilton, Ohio. This firm of big buyers
is not yet in the market for feat, and
the same is true of the United concern
the largest buyers of cigar leaf in the
country. Mr.. Eddins expects that
both of these interests will be in the
market within few days, and il
farmers are willing to sell at the bid
prices, there soon will be a whole lot
of tobacco money in circulation, is
his opinion.
Paying SOC for Old Corn
1--WE are paying so cents for old
corn and 45 cents for new" was the
report from the Farmers elevator al
Camden Friday. The manager said
that they wele taking in some corn
right along at these prices, many
farmers considering them liberal by
comparison with ruling figures at cen
trail markets. He said that while very
few cattle were on feed down his way
there seemed to be about the usual
number of hogs in the feed lots and
that they were handling their share
of the feed sold. He further re
marked that the tobacco growers had
not reported any sales, nor had any
buyers yet attempted to contract for
crops, so far as he had learned The
stockholders meeting and election OF
officers was set for Saturday after
noon, was the statement.
Are Fighting Grain Growers
County Agent Dolan, who had been
visiting around Amboy, in Lee coun.
ty, Illinois, got back on the job early
Tuesday after spending holiday week
with relatives and friends. He says
that the U. S. Grain Growers are
hard at work in that section of the
state and have placarded the country
districts, urging all farmers to tie up
with them. But the Board of Trade
men are pretty active. They are post
ing the roadways with the injunction
or warning to farmers not to sign any,
thing which they can't read and read
lily understand. The fight is hot and
daily getting hotter in several Illinois
counties, and it is presumed that In
