PAGE TWELVE Markets GRAIN PRICES (Muriels by E. F. Ilaci & Company. 212 Union National Bans Eliding) CHICAGO, 111.. Aug. 1. Wheat started about equal with the closing figures of the previous day, the Sep tember being a shade firmer and De cember somewhat lower. Following the opening a decline took place which, while not broad, carried price3 to lower levels than previously wit nessed on this movement. On the wnoie, wheat market was less active than yesterday and after the early de cline developed a degree of firmness, values railing to above the last prices of yesterday. The demand appeared to be broader and to be quite equal to the selling of hedging sales. Receipts locally, were under those of Monday and cash prices were about unchang ed. Corn suffered an additional decline after the opening. Liquidation recent ly was rather general and after the early offerings subsided the market took on a firmer appearance making quite a fair recovery. The strength to some extent was attributed to re ports of hot weather in sections of the southwest. Cash prices slightly firm er. Around the low levels of today prices would probably show resistance should there be another decline to those figures. However we believe corn will follow the trend of wheat. Oats made a moderate recovery aft er the early decline. Nothing special was noted in the situation. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

Indications were that an unusually heavy vote would be cast today in the Kansr.s pri mary although there was a prediction of showers this afternoon, which might diminish the voting.

He and Tom McNeill are the only male Republican candidates for governor who have declared them selves definitely opposed to the court. The Democratic candidates have said they were antagonist to it.

Reed, and Breckenridge Long, third assistant secretary of state under President Wilson has overshadowed every other issue.

The Farm and By William R Mr. Harmon that the man running his farm had told him that the hail storm had ruined his corn and that it was simply cut to pieces. He aiso staiea that hail was reported falling still farther north. As to Lynn there was no storm right in town but out northeast the fall of hail was heavy. The hail stones were large enough to kill chickens, one man stating that he had lost quite a num ber of chickens of various ages from hail. A lot of hail was brought into town and are said to have been "quite a size," even after the journey from the country. As a matter of fact some folks even reported hail stones as big as eggs, which cut off foliage and ruined gardens, as well as doing a lot of damage to windows. Hail stones as large as hen eggs are very rare birds, but it is a matter of record that such falls do sometimes occur. Topeka. Kansas, once had such a visitation. The hail not only smashed heavy plate windows but damaged any number of roofs As stated in the Monday evening Palladium there was heavy rain and considerable lightening observed in spots, notably northeast of New Paris around Braffettsville, West Manches- ter, and about five miles southeast of New Madison, according to a report from that town.

Wheat Closes at Bottom WTien July wheat at Chicago struck j up of the deal on Monday, the grain market looked like a pretty weak sis ter. But that doesn't necessarily fol low, as there is always a fight be tween speculators on opposite sides of the market at the final settlement of the speculative options, such as May, July, September and December. After such settlements the air usu ally clears and the crowd is ready to shift positions and take a fresh hold. But regardless of the future trend of wheat prices the Monday break did not affect prices paid by our coratry elevators, which were held at 95 cents, the prevailing price in Wayne county for nearly a week. The threshing sea son, except for oats. Is now drawing to a close. In some instances the field jobs are all cleaned up. Russell White, living at the bridge on the Middleboro pike, has rolled his sepa rator into winter quarters, having cleaned up all his wheat rings for this season, so we are told. Preble County Paid $1 Every point in Preble county called up on Monday said they had begun the day by paying $1, the same as on last Saturday. The Eikenberry elevator at Camden was the only one report ing receipts worth while on Monday, some mills and elevators reporting $1 bids but no grain coming in. Tho Eikenberry folks said they had started in paying $1 early on Monday morn ing, had dropped to 9? cents before noon, and were paying but 96 cents at 2 o'clock, owing to the break in July and cash wheat. They loaded two cars for export via Baltimore on Monday, and report selling a large proportion of their receipts this sea son for export from that port. No hail fell at Camden on Monday fore noon, but we were told that Camden had been told that there was consid erable hail about four miles east, and in the Gratis section. Our call to Castine. in Preble coun ty, resulted in the statement that they had a light rain on Monday torenoon. !but 110 ai1 whatever. Th is nvort was made by McFadden's general store. Some Hail at Eldorado A. V. McClure. of Eldorado, v said that while some hail fell in their town, the fall was slight. But there was plenty of lightening and a heavy rain. ! neither of which had done any dam age in town. He said that no wheat had come in up to 2 o'clock, but he had posted $1 as his price for the day and would pay that figure, should any be delivered. What he might pay on Tuesday was another matter, but in any case the wheat now left for sale was not important, until after barn threshing begins. Oats are a light crop and but few will be on sale, he stated. George Richardson, of New Pari3 states that they had no storm at New Paris, but that there was plenty of hail some five miles north and east. Edward Price said on Monday aft ernoon that the crop at Chicago or in the general cash market had cut no ice so far as their prices were con cerned, either at Boston, Witts, Kitch ell or Fountain City. A little grain was coming in right along, he said, and their price was still 95 cents. Experiment in Feeding Is a soft, oily fat on a hog, produced by feeding peanuts, a characteristic that can be inherited and that will persist regardless of the nature of; the ration fed the orrspring? That is one of the interesting questions to be investigated by the department of agriculture at the experiment farm BeltSVille, Md. Both the bacon and the Farmer Sanborn lard types will be used, the former to be represented, at the start by 4 Tamworth gilts and the latter by 4 Poland-China gilts. From weaning time until their first litters are weaned these 8 gilts will be grown and fed on a peanut ration. From the time of weaning their pigs will be fed on some hardening ration. such as corn and tankage, and will be compared with a check lot. of pigs whose dams were fed on hardening feeds instead of peanuts during their development and gestation periods. When the niers have been erown out and finished, some of each lot will be there is any difference in the car casses; that is if the peanut ration fed to the mothers has made it more difficult to put a hard flesh on the offspring with corn. Mr. Wallace Talks Tariff While it is true that Henry C. Wal lace, principal editor of Wallaces' Farmer, Is secretary of agriculture in Harding's cabinet, and that he dis claims any responsibility for editor ials now appearing in his paper, we find it hard to believe that the fol lowing editorial does not reflect his indlviduau views. And not only is this our opinion but we are assured that a whole lot of farmers who think along broad lines and are well in formed, will agree In letter and spirit with what Wallaces' Farmer says, as follows: "Cocoanut oil and soy bean oil, Rawson, of Iowa, voted right on this proposition. The eastern senators, who seem to be in favor of high tar iffs only when they are on manufac- anything, voted wrong. "With vegetable oils for soap mak ing purposes coming in free, we be lieve that the western states have very little to gain by the new tariff bill. To benefit the western farmer, there must be a high tariff on vege table oils, wool and hides. The tariffs on wheat, corn, butter, etc. necasion- ornamental. As the situation stands today, there is real doubt as to wheth er the permanent tariff bill is any improvement over the temporary bill from the standpoint of the farmer." Bumble Bees and Clover The debt we owe to bumble bee3 cannot be over-estimated. Is the opin ion of many agricultural authorities. One of these enthusiasts tells us a lot about how pollenization is caused by the bees, and in a little talk about clover, has this to say: Clover pollen is produced deep down in the tubes of the blossom. In order that seed may be produced, it is necessary for the pollen to bo carried from one flower to another. As the bees fly from flower to flower in search of honey, they carry a little pollen with them, and thus make seed production possible. It takes a lon? tongued bee to reach down into a red clover blossom, however. The ord:T nary honey bee cannot do it, except occasionally when a dry season makes the flower tubes of the second crop unusually Fhort. For the most part we have to depend on the bumble. be? to make a crop of red clover seed ' possible, and even he cannot do much with the large flowers of the first crop. That is why we get most of our red clover seed from the second crop. ' Recently, a new wild bee has been discovered in central Illinois. It is smaller than the bumble bee, but has a longer tongue, according to men at the University of Illinois who have magcurfiH ft WVi On Mq T1PW ViP Ko, comes numerous enough, we may be able to make seed from the first crop of red clover, and get much larger yields than we do now, is their opin ion. .
