PAGE TWELVE THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, AUG. 28, 1922. Markets GRAIN PRICES (Markets b7 E. F. Lelani & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Aug. 28. It was a quiet day in wheat. Prices averaged higher, but best prices were not maintained. This probably was due more to lack of aggressive buying than anything ei-e. ltie big advance early in Liver pool took the market somewhat by surprise and caused some buying that brought an advance of about 1 cents early. On the upturns .there was local selling, which made a fair reaction, but the market showed a relatively firm tone. The small decrease in the visible supply disappointed the longs and they sold. The trade was not large and the market was easily in fluenced. Houses with seaboard con nections were moderate buyers early and a fair export business was put through at the seaboard. Premiums on winter wheat here were unchanged, while Manitobas as Winnipeg were slightly lower, with receipts there in creasing. Reports on the car supply in the west and southwest were mixed. There were numerous favorable crop reports on corn. Highest prices were registered early in the day. There was a lack of buying support thereafter and the market sagged not withstanding the big decrease in the visible supply. About 350,000 corn was reported worked for export. Cash corn unchanged to one-half lower. Trade in oats was light and influ enced chiefly by the action of corn There was liquidation in September, but therail siuation brought some sup- port. Toward the last the Increase in the visible and weakness in other grains had a depressing influence. Cash prices steady. Shipping sales 145.000. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

' ' 1 1 ' ' f l Shortage in Residences ; and Stores Brings Great est Boom in Building. TWO billions of dollars is the valuation placed by economists upon the stores and residences that should have been constructed to provide for the country's nor mal development between 1914 and 1922. Consequently that co lossal figure measures the shortage we have inherited from the days when soaring construction costs made building unprofitable, and when men and materials were be ing diverted to war purposes. The chart shown above, based on the building permits issued the last 20 years in a score of the larg est cities, indicates how nearly the country approached complete building stagnation. In 1918 the TOBACCO USERS PAID 9 PER CENT OF MONEY OF INTERNAL REVENUE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 Tobacco users paid almost 9 per cent of the $3,197,000,000 in internal revenue re ceived by the government in the fis cal year of 1922. Income and profits taxes accounted for 65 per cent of the total. From tobacco and its manufactures the government got $270,759,000, sta tistics published today show. This was an increase of $15,000,000 over the amount collected by the govern ment from that source in 1921. The increase was almost wholly from taxes on cigarettes, which to talled $66,342,000, and 1 arge cigars. $44,184,000, a decrease of $5,893,000 from 1921. Income from Autos The automobile industry paid the government $104,430,000 in the fiscal year 1922 through the manufacturers' excise tax. That was $11,116,000 less than collected in 1921. Candy and chewing gum netted the government less in taxes by $6,945,000. From candy $13,593,000 was collected and from chewing gum $ 42.570. Non-alcoholic beverages showed a heavy total tax decline, $33,489,000 ha vine been paid, compared with $58,676,000 last year. Taxes on admissions to theatres, concerts, cabarets, etc., amounted to $73,374,000, a reduction of $16,357,000 from last year.

I HAD HER 1 f iMaAO C5 j he , curve approached closest its base! line. With construction at almost 90 per cent below normal, the country was supplying a little more than a tenth of the buildings it needed. Economists are finding that most business and industrial ac tivities move in cycles. From an examination of records it appears that normal and sub-normal pe riods are followed at regular inter vals by "boom" or "peak" years. The chart shows how true this "law of cycles" is of the building trades. Beginning in 1903 we note the "peaks" in 1906, 1909, 1913, 1916, 1919 and 1922. They recur regularly at three- or four year intervals. The phenomenal building activity now sweeping the country could have been predicted three years ago. In future years it is not to be expected that the line will fall to The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn NOW PREFERS HOLSTEINS "Although some of my best stock has already started to the state fairs, I expect to attend the Wayne county fair at Richmond with a herd of Hol- steins good enough to give other breeders a run for their money." Thus. writes Roy Smelker, of New Paris, who continues by saying: "Several of my friends have been jok ing me for leaving the Jerseys and taking up Holsteins. Well, If the Richmond or Eaton fairs will put on milk or butterfat contest I'll try to be on hand with cows good enough to show them why I changed breeds." Among the thankless and irritating tasks of the farmer the cutting of Osage orange hedge takes the cookie. It's a mean job to start with and the hedge is more than likely to be infest ed with poison ivy. Now there are folks who become poisoned, simply from passing close to the plant. Such are few of course, but the rest of us, though not quite that sensitive, are easily poisoned by contact. A physician explains that, if shortly after contact with this weed, you will wash with hot water, using a strong yellow soap, the resin in the ivy, the poisonous principle, can be washed off before affecting the skin. Almost any druggist will put you up some thing to relieve and cure, at small cost. The numerous members of the Beard family, of which there are mem bers on farms in Wayne and adjoining counties, will hold their annual reun ion at the home of Allan Beard, In Liberty, on Thursday, August 31. The Paddock family reunion will be held in Glen Miller park on Monday, Sep tember 4. There are a number of Paddocks in Union county. No Farm Bureau Bank It has been reported in Indianapolis financial circles that the Indiana state farm bureau has been planning to start a national bank, "the purpose being to specialize in agricultural paper." John G. Brown, president of the Indiana farm bureau, denies any such intentions on the part of the farm ers. "There is no plan on foot in the federation to organize such a bank," Mr. Brown declared. "I will admit at one time such a step was considered, but. now there is no such action even being contemplated, so far as I know. We find that the banks of Indiana are capable of filling the needs of the farmers, and I believe that these banks are taking care of their farmer customers. "At one time last year money was tight and it was difficult for the farm er to obtain banking accommodation, but now I believe the banks are taking care of all who are worthy of credit. The money situation in Indiana was never as acute as it wa3 in one or two central Western states Iowa, for ex ample. The farmers of Indiana are still operating on a narrow margin. It is true that many of our farmers have liquidated their debts at the banks, or at least paid off a good part of what they owe. But In doing so they liquidated through the sale of their reserves. "For example, many farmers sold off their hogs and cattle and used the money to pay off their debts at the. banks. Many are far from being in good shape yet, although not in such a predicament as more than a year ago." any great extent. However it may fluctuate, it must remain in the area of abnormally high activity. From 1903 to 1914 it rose and fell without wandering far from the normal line. Surpluses balanced deficits and no appreciable short age could accumulate. But after 1914 the line was continuously be low normal, and the need for new building became increasingly acute. Since the country must make up this tremendous deficien cy while it is supplying its cur rent needs, we must look for at least five years of abnormally high building activity. The deficit is mainly in stores and residences. In reliev ing the shortage that exists in this type of construction alone, work men who are really skilled in the building trades will find continuous and profitable employment for years to come. D. R. Funk says that he intends to show a bunch of pure-bred Durocs and also a couple of fine Guernsey cows, one of which is now out on the show circuit. With reference to the Wayne county show Mr. Funk advises that the farmers show the best live stock they have, and let it go at that. "We all know," said he, "that the farmer has had too short notice to really properly prepare his stuff for exhibition, this being a matter of months. But now that Richmond has come to the front so cheerfully, it is up to the farmer to reciprocate and to make as good an exhibit as circum stances will permit. This isn't a state fair and every one will make allow ance for conditions." Winchester is to hold a live stock show this fall and the breeders are getting ready for it. County agent Fields and a number of Poland China hog raisers made a tour to some of the best herds in Randolph, on Friday, adding to their numbers as they trav eled from farm to farm. It is expect ed that some Randolph breeders will show at Glen Miller at the Wayne fair. It is understood, of course, that the fair is open to all who may wish to ex hibit, also that we are to put on a free show to which all will be wel come. Weights of Leghorns In reply to one who has recently began raising Leghorns will say that the standard weights for Leghorns of all varieties, are: Roosters, 5 pounds; cockerels, 4 pounds; hens, 4 pounds and pullets, 3 V2 pounds. To get standard size in Leghorns it is necessary to cull. Choose the birds nearest to standard size as breeders. If you get a male that seems to in crease the size of the flock, do not sacrifice him after one year, but mate him to good hens. Poultry workers figure that if all chickens sold from farms in a year were confined in small pens, and fed a fattening mash for from 10 to "14 days, the increased production of poultry met would approximate 20 per cent. Ten-Acre Corn Demonstrations A move to make the ten-acre Corn contest no less a contest, but rather more of a demonstration on the corn growing possibilities of Ohio, was ex plained to Smith-Hughes teachers of the state when they met in their first annual conference at the University early this month. WTallace E. Hanger, crops specialist, made the talk. He said that the rec ords of the 100-bushel men to date demonstrate clearly that the date of planting has an extreme effect on corn yields, and that most corn in Ohio is sown too thinly to get a big crop. Mr. Hanger proposed that in the future the contest be run on a dem onstration project basis, with tours of farmers to the fields at planting time and throughout the growing season. He indicated that steps had already been taken to put the work in such channels. What Ails the Farmer? The Philadelphia Public Ledger, one of the great eastern dailies, asks: What Ails Us? aEd thus proceeds to explain: "We have the richest agricultural belt of the world, the most improved agricultural implements, the best transportation of any people and the largest home market, yet thru waste- 5hl had the: PROMT rS THE. back: LIVE STOCK RECEIPTS AT LOCAL YARDS FOR WEEK BRING $12,636 Eleven cars of livestock were re ceived at the Glen Miller stock yards last week and included 604 hogs of a total weight of 130.045 pounds and val ued at $10,338; 45 veal calves weigh ing 8,180 pounds, for which $833.40 was paid; 66 lambs, weighing 5,470 and valued at $519.70, and 18 cattle, which brought $945.

Upon the prosperity of the farm ers depends to a decided degree the prosperity of the manufacturer. Eco nomically they are bound by clo.?e tie?;, yet the farm and the factory are far apart in sympathy and under standing. No other element of the Nation Is o lacking in organization as the farm. Manufacturing is highly organized. So practically is every branch of general business. It is absurd to say the farm cannot be stabilized and its distrib utive wastes eliminated. Denmark a Shining Example "Denmark has the best agricultural distribution system of the world. On land, much of which an American would have turned from as almost hopeless, it has developed a great dairy, fruit, poultry, cattle, sheep, hog and garden truck establishment, and thru co-operative marketing, which embraces every one who raises anything from an egg to a drove of steers, it not only feeds all Denmark, but London and a goodly part of the British isles. Farm produce is col lected with the regularity that a post man collects letters. The collector gives a receipt for the produce. What isn't required for Copenhagen and other cities of Denmark goes by ex press steamers to London. These ves sels sail on schedule time. "Danish farmers go to school in winter to study agriculture. Danish mothers go to school, too. Danish girls from royalty down, engaged to be married, go to school to take cour-i ses in housekeeping. "By real co-operative marketing, Denmark has made itself one of the few sound, prosperous nations of Europe. At the same time, altho Den mark has a king, it is about the near est approach to a real democracy presented today." Farm Sale Calendar Wednesday, Sept. 6.
