STEERS AT NEW HIGH

lie receipts on any Gay In1S year d.
rived at Chicago an Monday, and on
that same day the choicest beef steers
sold at the high of the year. With
81 900 in the pens, choice beeves made
a gain of 10c to 20 over the high
of the previous week, and about 20
loads were sold to packers and ship
pers at $12.25 and $124 within five
cents of the top since 1920. In the
face of this condition the poorer
grades shaded off and calves were soc
lower, with ordinary feeding steers
barely steady.
The business in hogs was done at
lower level, some classes being as
much as % cents down at the close.
Country buyers were so busy picking
up feeding lambs that prices advanced.
brought $1475. Top fat lambs cashed
at $14.40 while the best natives sold
to city butchers at $13.85.
Get acquainted with your neighbor
you might like him" This is the
slogan used in connection with the
community meetings being held in the
It's country schools in Cook county,
Illinois, outside of Chicago. Among
the topics discussed at these meet
ings are matters concerning the school
buildings, health and hygiene, sing
ing, debating, old time spelling bees,
ETC. The idea is reminiscent of early
day school activities which drew the
people together in rural districts.

now proposed that the Wisconsin

To Discuss Corn Borer.
The county agents of Ohio are to
meet at Columbus on Oct. 1920 in an
nual conference. The entomologists
who have visited Canada on an inspec-
ton tour of the corn fields of On
tario, which have been infested by the
corn borer, will be present at the
meeting and will tell what they have
learned for the benefit of the assembl-
age.
At present, the pest is known to be
in Ohio only in the corn of Erie lake
shore counties, and there in small
numbers, but it is feared that the in
festation may take on proportions as
serious as now obtain in Canada, and
possibly spread south into Ohio coun
ties and west into the corn belt states.
No Coal at Crete
The headline says: mo coal at
Crete" This also can be said of a
number of towns, including one as
large as Cambridge City. At the lat
ter point the elevatorman doesn't seem
to be worrying about coal, although
he hasn't a pound of any kind. His
reason for being so complacent is
| this: Many of our folks were fore
handed and ordered winter supply OF
coal at last springs prices and it is
now in their cellars" is his statement
He expects, too, that he will get his
share of coal from time 10 time, be
sides zero days are still far in the
! future.
| The elevator manager at Crete, gives
US to understand that it is his opinion
that coal is some sort of black sub
stance which people use to heat anG
cook with. But he isn't at all sure
of this, it having been so long since
he has seen any coal up his way. But
he says that he bought three cars O.
coal when he was a younger man anC
if the miners will only start it his
way. all will be forgiven. Farmers il
| the Crete section are sowing theil
usual wheat acreage and it will all bt
in this week, unless rains prevent. Tht
elevator has purchased some 200 bush
els of clover seed so far, mostly nam
moth and alsike, for which So to sS.7;
was paid per bushel. Old corn il
bringing 60 cents, oats 33 cents anC
wheat 81 per bushel, at Crete.
Report From Green's Fork
There isn't pound of coal a
Green's Fork, or there wasn't on Tues
day afternoon. The manager of thu
elevator said that they had coal or
dered but it hadn't shown up. He saic
he had just been offered car of Yves
Virginia coal at $6.75 at the mines
which would mean about 1920 per tol
laid down. This price he consider
too high. He stated that farmer haC

corn from a neighbor at 40 cents 70

ceived from West Virginia and Ken
lucky mines. Lynn also reports
small supply. Fountain City and Bos
ton are both out of coal but are o.
the expectant list, hoping for a ca
from day to day.
Treated 400 Bushels
i County Agent Dolan completed hi
seed wheat treating at Centerville Of
Tuesday, and the last batch, some 3
bushels, was treated for Easthaye'
farms as a windup. Mr.. Dolan say
that while he has handled a uumbe
of small lots and has not yet com
puted the total he thinks that not les
than 400 bushels went through tn
machine. The treating plant is nov
permanent fixture, and with TIL
changes next year, including dryer
will have daily capacity of aroun
4 200 bushels. The idea then will be t
treat grain for entire townships o
communities, as we have been give
to understand. James Markham ren
dered Mr.. Dolan a whole lot of assist
ance at the treating plant this season
