we learned that, despite the decline
in wheat at central markets, they
were still bidding 81 for No. 2 wheat,
which meant after cleaning and test
ing. But bidding a price and getting
the wheat are not always the same
thing, and the miller admitted that
farmers were selling but little grain.
In his opinion there is considerable
wheat back on the farms, for the rea-
son that so much threshing was done
when wheat was below 81, the bottom
price most farmers would accept.
Having put the wheat away they are
inclined to hold for more than a dol
lar, or at least to see what happens
later in the year., or eve text spring.
The Liberty flour mill reports a fair
demand for flour, in fact are selling
their daily output right along. is the
statement. They anticipate a 100 per
cent corn crop, in Union county and
on south. Local wheat was of good
milling quality.
The Eikenberry elevators at Cam
den reported on Friday afternoon that
quite a little corn was moving and

700 bushels of corn were taken in on
Thursday, and several loads were
bought on Friday, the manager re.

started out paying 97c for wheat; this
afternoon, owing to the break. at cen
trail markets, the best we can pay is
Csc a bushel for No. 2. But farmers
are selling very little wheat now.
They are storing it instead. We re-
ceived 1900 bushels on Thursday,
mostly-to go into store. Threshing is
over. except for some barn threshing
which will be done later. The field
threshing is all done"
No Wheat Being Offered
The Cook Milling company at Mid.
dlesboro, says the wheat supply has
dried up, at least so far as they are
concerned. Not a load has been OF
fered this week, although they got
their share when threshing was going
on and filled their bins at 95 cents
to 81 per busheL. There is some flour
selling all the time but the demand is
not brisk.
Mr.. Schlientz, manager of the Farm.
ers' Equity elevator. at Eaton, says
that now that field threshing is all
done for the year, that receipts OF
wheat are light, although they did
take in about 200 bushels on Thursday
and a load or two on Friday. They
have been paying 81 cents all week
but said that price was not on a ship.

noon. Owing to the fact that they
are building a new elevator and lack
storage room in the old one they are
doing very little in corn. Besides this,
farmers who feed are the biggest and
best buyers of corn in the Eaton dis
trict. The new Equity elevator viii

Rush. County Hampshire Sale
The W. r. Conway farm in Rush
county was the scene of a lively pure.
bred Hampshire hog sale last Wed
nesday. This was the second sale put
over by Conway and Dawson, who own
adjoining farms and have been breed
ing Hampshires exclusively for sew
eral years.
The offering consisted of IS bred
gifts, Z fall yearling boars. in the
breeding ring. and so barrows in the
feeding class. The gifts. averaged
and the boars. s4521 per head.
This is said to be the best average
made on gifts at any sale so far in
August.
The first Conway and Dawson sale
was made in September, 1921. Pre-
vious to that time all their hogs had
gone at private sale. for a number OF
years. This spring the two farms vac
cinated 500 spring pigs on the same
day. said Mr.. Conway, who was az
this office on Friday evening. He an
nounced another sale in September
when 100 head will be put up. Dusty"
Miller and Clarence Carr, two Rush
county auctioneers conducted the sale,
which lasted one hour and t~hirty-five
minutes. Visiting buyers from several
counties were present.
A Strike For Cheaper Bread
It seems rather strange to read of
a whole city going on a strike to force
a reduction of the price of bread, but
this seems to be just what happened
in Lisbon, Portugal. The strike was
called off on Thursday, following A
declaration by the government thai
the price of bread would be reduced.
The strike was caused by an advance
in the price. put into effect a short
time ago. The strike lasted for sew
eral days.
If bread is 10 high as to cause that

farmers in Portugal are getting for
wheat, also what American winter

at country elevators at IS cents to 81.
