Report on Exports Causes Rise In Wheat Prices CHICAGO, June 9. Asserting that export demands had improved, and that domestic millers were after sup plies here, aided in bringing about higher prices for wheat today, not withstanding weakness of values early. Strength in the corn market helped to raise the prices of wheat. Wheat closed unsettled to 1 higher, with July, $1.15 to Sept., ?114and $1.14ti.

SANBORN The government crop report, as of June 1 indicates a total crop of all wheat of 854,000,000 bushels. If the June 1 prospects are realized at the coming harvest we shall garner 59,000,- 000 bushels more wheat this year than last. But the June estimates 6eldom or never are realized when the grain goes through the threshing machines. Note, for instance, that the June esti mate on spring wheat last year was for a crop of 251,000,000, while the ma chines showed a final garnering of but 208,000,000 bushels, quite a falling off at the showdown. The estimates on both winter and spring wheats indicate a total of nearly 855,000,000 bushels, almost 60,000.000 bushels more than were grown in 1921. Much may happen to wheat between now and the completion of the harvest, and again, the crop may mature splen didly, which is the general hope of the country. But .what surprises us most is the estimate on oats, a tremendous crop of which is seemingly in sight, as discovered by the crop reporters. The total yield of small grains. wheat, oats, rye and barley is estimat ed at 2,431,000,000 bushels, or 365,000, 000 bushels in excess of these crops in 1921- Surely, the United States is more than a billion dollars country, it is also a billion bushel country. When we ar later able to add the corn crop to the figures here shown, a limitless food supply will be in sight. May and June Compared The loss in condition last month was largely due to drought on the Pa cific coast and to unfavorable weather conditions in Oklahoma and Nebraska, the former dropping nine points and the latter three points. Kansas im proved one point with a condition of 75, suggesting 117,000,000 bushels, or 11,000,000 bushels more than last month and 11.000,000 bushels less 9 I i N ( K la W i rn i bushels last year.

Barley acreage increased 310,000 with a larger crop, the yield being greater than last year, and rye has the largest yield in receni years. Indiana Crop Estimates A review of the government tabula tion by states shows that the percent age on Indiana wheat stood at 88 on June 1, against 77 per cent as the 10 year average.- This forecasts a crop of 33,977,000 bushels of winter wheat The estimate on oats 6hows an 85 per cent condition, with an estimated crop of 47,912.000 bushels. The 10 year average for the state on June 1 is 89.5 on oats. Ohio is expected to harvest 42,798, 000 bushels of winter wheat, and 53, 260,000 bushels of oats. Illinois is due to raise 51,613.000 bushels of winter wheat and 132,000,000 bushels of oats.

East of town and across the Ohio line it seems they had a real rain on Thursday morning. Stephen Kuth says his place was drenched, for example. Going west of Richmond about tne same distance, taking in Centerville, the re- port was that only a light shower had ; fallen, enough to wet the shade trees nnd snrinkle the lawns but hadn't spread enough into the country to do farmers any particular good. This held true southeast of Centerville, ac cording to Gilbert Morgan, who says there was hardly rain enough to make j the ground sticky. Mr. Morgan says that smut Is showing In the wheat In his section and that there is some smut In his wheat and on adjoining But getting back to the rainfall, the farmers of much Preble county acre age got their full share. A farmer living near Eldorado says they had a "dandy" rain on Thursday morning and it drenched West Manchester, as well. Richmond had a refreshing rain at the same time, but a phone call to j Williamsburg on inursaay noon sa.iu that not a drop of rain had fallen on that town. "But we don't need rain," said Carl Wilson, "as we had a real rain last Saturday night." Mr. Wil son says that the new Btock yards pens are not quite finished, but are nearly so, and that they hope to ship a car of live stock within a week or 10 days. Chinch Bugs are Scattered Reports from Preble county are to the effect that there are chinch bugs scattered throughout the county, "about as usual," as one farmer puts it but no great invasion has been so far noted on any particular farm.

This contrasts with a load of lambs fed in 1921, which resulted in the largest loss ever sustained on a roughages for fattening lambs and to secure information on the most profi table quantities of corn to feed to such animals. All lots received corn sil age. The results show clearly that clover i efit to the ration Limiting the amount of corn fed was not as profitable as allowing as much grain as the lambs would eat. The lambs on full feed gained more rapidly and more economically than those receiving a half feed of corn or those fed corn during the latter! part of the feeding period only. The advising that the offer of $2,500,000 for the Gorgas plant had been sub mitted, leads us to wonder if the com pany is now really sincere in Its al leged offer and if it would actually! pay the government $2,500,000 for the interest of the government in the Gor gas steam plant. "Mr. Ford contends, the report adds, that it is necessary to the economical operation of Muscle Shoals for him to have the Gorgas plant. "If his revised offer for Gorgas is rejected," it declared, "then he must understand the acceptance of his of- j fer for Muscle Shoals p.s a whole and th u of water r ie&isla.-1 i tv fortiii70, jeummt made hv good and proper thing. But whether or not the company can make fertiliz er at half price or make it at all at a profit. Mr. Ford's representative states distinctly that the company -will not make it unless it "can do so at a , profit. The turnover profit is fixed I at eight percent and this fertilizer question is the bargain counter in this proposal." T- CORNEO OEET AN CABeVSlH t EXPECT A LOT OF" PEOPLE. FOR.

The Senate recently passed an amendment to the United States warehouse act, which has been In force since 1916. This act licensed, warehouses which would conform toj certain requirements and thus made! warehouse receipts issued by them acceptable at the banks. The framers 0f the original act had in mind the development of a form of ware house receipt which would possess the greatest credit advantage. That the act has proved valuable is shown by the fact that on April 1, this year. the department of agriculture, which administers the act, had licensed 26: cotton warehouses with a combined capacity of 1,225,000 bales; 264 grain warehouses with a total ca pacity of approximately 15,000.000 bushels; 19 warehouses which han dled between them one-sixth of the entire clip of last season or about 35.000,000 pound3 of wool, and 12 tobacco warehouses with a capacity of 68,000,000 pounds. The demand for licensed warehous es is growing rapidly and the act wjtn the amendment proposed will be of immense value in connection with the operation of the proposed inter mediate form of credit favored by tha ! American farm bureau, which will be based largely upon the sale of deben tures which are backed up by the warehouse collateral. With Reference to Wool Reports from several county sta tions on Thursday was to the effect that considerable wool had recently been bought as high as 38 cents. This shows the pressure of competition, for as one elevatorman states, "there are so many buyers in the field that we are getting comparatively little wool, although we have paid as high as 40 cents the last two days, for a few fleeces." One man living near Rich mond is reported as having a small lot of wool, less than 150 pounds, for which he received 40 cent3, the buyer stating that it was a pretty choice long-fibered article, much better than Junost of Wayne wools, also cleaner. I tie work or arranging for the pool ing of Wayne wool is proceeding, hut at this writing it is not known how many will pool, or the probable amount that will ultimately go into the pool. The wool market doesn't seem to be stabilized, even In local sections, because speculative buyers are taking a chance of loss, depending on the quality of each lot of fleeces and their cost. We believe that ele vatormen who are buying, in most in- i stances at least, have an assured out- iet which provides against loss on the turnover. One buyer advises us that he Is fixed just that way. Independ ent buyers have been setting their prices from day-to-day, in all parts of Ohio and Indiana, but the trend has been definitely upward during the whole season, lo-date. Taking the low of the early bids it is safe to say that the top of going prices is about that of the lowest paid at farm gates when the clip first began to move. Pooling In Wabash County H. L. Royce, recently for the fourth time elected county agent of Wabash county, told the farm bureau folks at IndianapoUs last week that, the men in charge of the wool pooling in his county expect that at least one-half of the Wabash clip will be pooled this year. It is thought that this will amount to about 25,000 pounds of pooled wool, which will be around four times the quantity pooled last year, the first year of pooling in that county. The farm bureau reporter states that, "bids are being received at the wool pool warehouse of 46 cents for blood and 43 for V blood wools." The writer probably refers to price3 now quoted from Columbus, Ohio. Ostrander Talks on Soys Varieties of soybeans being grown most widely in Indiana were mention ed lately by W. A. Ostrander of the soils and crops extension staff of Pur due university, who stated that hun dreds of growers were obtaining the best results with them. Ito San is the most popular variety for hogging down and for seed from Lafayette north, he said, and Holly brook for hay or ensilage in the same region. Hollybook for all purposes is the variety most widely grown and giving best results for the rest of the state south of Lafayette, he says. Man chu, a variety which matures between these two, is very desirable but seed is scarce and somewhat higher in price. "Don't plant beans with too early corn, but plant them so the beans will be slightly green when the hogs are turned in on them," said Mr. Ostran der in discussing soybean practices. "When growing for seed, use a varie ty that matures early enough to be taken off in the fall in time for whea: sowing." POTATOES at bargain prices. Seed stock, but fine for eating. OMER G.
