With the Farmers

Grant County at International Show.
Grant coanty produce looks we'll at
the greatest OF all shows, the Inter
the past week. Although we didn't
produce the grand champion carload
OF steers or hogs, or show the grand
champion bull of any bred, animals
from our county made a very credit
able showing The two carloads Of
Dlr0c Jersey hogs of Clyde Walker
OF Lancaster, showed up well. They
won a silver cup for their owner.
This was awarded by the Institute OF
American Meat ackers. This cup was
given for the best uniform and type
car lot 1t is not our desire TO give
self praise, but we can truthfully say
that the heavy load of MIR. Walker
was the largest size. pigs for their
age and the car as a whole the most
uniform load Of th- whole show. Our
weak point was in the fact that they
didn't carry enough weight, in other
words, were not finished. They had
the frame but lacked flesh 1t is al
ways easy to see the faults after
show is over, but if the load had car
ried twenty pounds more meat there
is no question il the minds of those
who saw them, but what the cham
pion load would have been a close
race. Mr. Walker has been well paid
for his efforts in showing these two
carloads On Thursday Nof the past
week the carload of hogs were sold
at auction to the different packers.
The grand champion carload Of
Hampshires sold for 11.25. The
heaviest load of Walkers sold Tor
$50 and the lighter load for IT'S.
We must make our plans now to
have several carloads at the show
next year You will be repaid for
your efforts.
In the beef class Griswold Broth
steer in a very strong class. They al
SO won 18th on senior yearling heif-
er in class of about 40 head, on a
Junior yearling heifer they won 18th
place. One must consider that to get
get in the money at all in a show of
this kind is an honor.

again showed that its produceNwas of
merit when the calf Bumper" shown
in the 1922 Baby Beef Show at Madi-
son by Dorothy Orr and purchased by
the University of Wisconsin won his

advance, but rather a temporary
pause. The street inferred from the
resumption of operations for the rise

had not had time to distribute their

Sugar stocks Strong.
Nothing happened fresh in the sugar
trade to account for the strength Of
the sugar stocks. They We're follow
ing in tn" wake of Cuba Cane pre-
terred, which was responding to the
annual report issued saturday. the
tlgures, both Of the income account
and the balance sheet, told an aston
lshing story of recovery. In 1921 the
company had $2S.000,000 bank loans
outstanding. on November ! this
year It had paid off every penny. The
profit and loss surplus. which had
sunk to S2,750.0o0, was raised to $40
$4,000. With all floating indebted
ness liquidated, the company is in
position to begin payments on the

Tire Price Outlook.
Rubber and tire shares have been
among the slowest to respond to the

set down to overproduction of tires.
However, the situation is believed by
many to be looking up for the strong

offered to furnish automobile manu-
iacturers a supply of tires in 1924 at
prices under the quotations then in

their prices for 1924 delivery would
DO considerably above the 1928 level.
