[An Independent Farmer's Week”? Oimedxand Edited in ichigan MT. CLEMENS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1921 *— 5 ~ F WAYNE county has her way the bal- ‘ once. of power in the‘Michigan state leg- - will paw from, the hands of the rural-districts .into the hands of the cities. ’ ' Peeved because. the state board of equaliza- _ ‘ ‘tlon boosted Wayne county’s valuation to within a few hundred millions of where it belongs, her politicians have announced Constitution which will increase Wayne , county ’s representation in the lower house *0! the legislature from fourteen ,to approxi- - mater thirty members. , - . ' ’The Constitution provides that the, house ' , representatives shallconsist of “not less " “\mémbers”. A legislative enactmentadopted ‘ in the’total nuinber- at one hund- red where it since remained. Appor- tionnient of these , one hundred representa- tives is made’upOn thebas’m' of the U. S. census, the idea divide! the state into representative having "as * ‘-ne‘a".rIy as [may be”, an eQua‘l-number of . inhabitants. It is obvious, therefore, that ,as population increases er decreases, the - ratio of representation must also change. But there is ‘a clause in the Constitution which prevents the! legislature from carry- ins. with, exactspirit of equal representa- ~~ .To this clause ’we shall refer later. “ 2,810,“ r an: .a‘ “Populatianbasls, 1. 23,102i'people "were entitled 13°- ' than; ' ‘ 'Z‘Ttme 1% , new in the, state legislature. ‘ ' fiat mac not. be follov‘ved out “4" exactly . the Constitution expressly ' states the ‘_‘ county’shall bo,,.entitled to aseparate representative when it has. at- tained a population equal to a moiety (or one-half) the ratio of representation.” The moiety of the ratio of representation based on the, 1910 was 14,051 people, ‘ so that every county" having ‘ people was entitled to a separate repre- sentative. . With only“ one hundred repre- to apportion, it is at once ap- parent» that in. order to give every county _' having 14,051-or more population one repre- . sentative, it would he-necémary to deprive " flle'larger chnters cl with'a ‘ p311: «if—their ' d Since 1905 » in ".1 t ~out the spiritoflflm. constitution 19,10 Burma 1' i * ,Jm‘ use ” that they will submit an amendment to the products except cottonseed 91,3 a. ampted '“ 3’ s lawlto the state , By the EDITOR fled with the .present proportion of rauc- sem‘ntion which they enjoy in the legis- lature. But Wayne has had an entirely unfounded suspicion for several years that the rest of the state was trying to take advantage of her limited representation and give her the worst end of legislation and taxes. Wayne county has experienced an unprecedented growth in population and property values, but she has persistently fought every effort of the state tax authori- ties to‘compel her to pay taxes in propor- tion ,to her huge increases in valuation. Heretofore, she has been satisfied with put- ting np a stiff fight against the increases in her valuation knowing that she was bound to be defeated in the end, but now it looks as if she were in earnest and really intended to force the rest of the state to give her enough representation in the leg- Farm Produce Rates Drop Ten Per Cent ICHIGAN farmers will profit by the latest drop in ‘ freight rates an- ‘ nounced a week ago by the Ass ’n of Railway Executives. ,The,}teductjon amounts to ten per cent and applies to the entire, United States with the exception of trafiic moving wholly within‘ New England. '“ The new rates which were expected to go into eflect today are applicable to carload lots of wheat, corn, oats- other grain, beans, fld‘ur and meal, hay, straw and alfalfa, manufactured tobacco, cotton, cotton-seed oil and cottonseed meal; citrons fnuits, other fresh fruits, potatoes, other fresh vegetables, horses and mules, cattle and calves, sheep and goats, hogs, poultry, eggs, butter, cheese, and wool. While the actual savings to farmers and other shippers of farm products of this .state‘ as a result of the reduction cannot be estimated’ With any degree of accuracy, it is befiéved. that they will amount to up- wards of a million dollars. Farm Organizations Take Credit ‘ Credit for the freightarate drop is taken by several national farm organizations, I prominent “among; which is the farm bu- the time the announcement of f‘freightmfcuts in the western states was made, thé‘A. ’F.’ B.

Wayne county is entitled to some addi- tional representation and the legislature is already empowered to give it to her, but whenshe talks about submitting an amend- ment to the constitutiOn to wipe out the moiety clause which gives sparsely settled communities a voice in state government she is asking for something to which she is not entitled and which the rest of the state shOuld vigorously oppose her having. Many Counties Will Lose Representative The new census gives Michigan a popu- lation of 3,668,412. This increases the basis of representation in this state from 28,000 to 36,668, and the moiety from 14,000 to 18,334. Therefore, under the present Constitution no county having a population of less than 18,334 will any longer be entitled to a separate representa- tive. This means that many of the counties which have had One representative since 1905 will lose him and will be combined with some other county to make up a rep— resentative district. Such counties include: Emmet, Cheboy- gan, Antrim, Alpena , Osceola, Oceana, Newaygo, Mecosta, Midland. It also means that if the strict letter of the constitution is followed out the following counties which have had two or more representatives will be cut to one: Lenawee, Monroe, Ottawa, St. Clair, Allegan, Washtenaw, Berricn, Bay, Marquette, Houghton, Kalamazoo. Kent would have probably five; Saginaw two; Genesee, three; Oakland, two. Wayne’s share under this plan would be somewhere between twenty and twenty-five members. But this isn’t enough, she saysf She has one-third of the population and she wants one—third of the repfwentation, and that is the object of the constitutional amendment which she proposes to submit. It is needless to say that the rural coun- ties of Michigan want to be entirely fair They wealth. They recognize in Detroit a pow- erful asset to the entire state. They want Detroit~ and Wayne county to have their just representation in the legislature and they want them to pay their just share of the taxes. But they‘do not propOSe to give them the power they covet to dictate to the rest of the state. L The wisdom of protecting the small from the domination of the great has long been recognized. This is as true of local politi- cal divisions as it is of nations. In most of the states the pe0ple have wisely written theirjconstitution to give the sparsely set- , tled" communities a vote in the state gov- ernment and to prevent the larger indus- trial centers from usurping the politial Film! 91 the: . er communities.- Such is. thei-prifidplojouhe issue a stain.

J. FuWalker of Ohio, member of the executive committee of the bu-' reau, and J. B. Wilson of Wyom- ing, its vice—president, vigorously at- tacked the ad valorem feature of the Fordney Tariff Bill in their state— ments. to the Senate Finance Com- mittee, and asked that it be elimin— ated. ' ’ ' . They presented comprehensive ar- duty on the clean content rather than on the grease, and quoted the costs of growing wool here and in foreign” countries calculated to show that 33 cents per‘pound on the clean content basis is the minimum duty that will afford the sheep industry in the United States sufficient protection to prevent its destruction. _——-———t————— ‘ 7.- MICHIGAN GETS $5,000,000 IN WAR MATERIALS FOR ROADS PPROXIMATELY $160,000,000 . worth of surplus war materials, " turned over by the War Depart- ment to the Department of Agricul- ‘ ture,~have been distributed through ' the Bureau of Bublic Road to the various states for road-building pur; Under the Wadsworth-Kahn bill this surplus. war material is sent to the states with the sole provision, that it be used only for road—build- ing purposes, A vast accumulation of “machinery, equipment, supplies, K‘and-‘motor vehicles that was to have been used in France has thus been diverted tea useful peace-time pur- Included in the supplies distribut- ed among the states are 27,198 me- ‘tor vehicles, mostly trucks; 172 1000- motives of various sizes; 25,000 gross tons of rails; more-than 4,500,- , Hillsdale Closes Tuberculosis- Campaign OSCOW township, in Hillsdale County, Michigan, has the dis— tinction of being the first town- ship in the United States in which all breeding cattle have been test— ed for tuberculosis.

It is his belief that the great ma- ' jority of farmers in this state who are good for loans are having. no difficulty 'in getting their wants supplied througi their local metropolitan correspon- bankers and their dents. ‘ ' 'There is [no reason why-the farmers of the state should not be fully advised as to tl'llS source of credit, as the columns of the farm press have been full of articles upon the sud ~ ject.

The funds of this corporation are available only in cases where local banks cannot or will not loan to accredited farmers. g. .r’ bushel of wheat or corn or potatoes purchased about the same quantity of nails, binder twine, eta, one year as another. ' SuclkfluctuatiOns as occurred in the proportion were slight and unimportant.

Are Bahks Unfriendly? At the same time this need is net entirely absent. A‘few farmers have ; reported to us that their local bankers are not able to supply their wants and in many cases are ignorant of the War Finance Corporation and not at all anxious to become informed concerning it. One does not like to accuse the banks of in- difl’erence when farmers are suffering for lack of funds, and we do not believe it is fair to J t STATE HIGHWAY PLANS FOR 1 922 - OAD BUILDING will commence earlier next year than over before in the his- ’ tory of the State Highway Depart- 7 ment, and many of the roads closed for construction in' April will be ready for use during the summer instead of being closed throughout the season-as has been the us- ual condition in the past.

However, it may - be, and\ the evidence seems fairly conclusive ‘ that some banks are failing to take an interest in this matter because it means a certain loss of revenue to them. In many sections bank» ers have no hesitancy in charging farmersfl j twelve per cent or more for money. So long as they can put up the claim that money is scarce and they themselves have to pay high for it' they get by with their usury, but they ,' would not dare to borrow through the Finance * ' Corporation at the fixed rate of five per cent " and re-loan that money, at more than seven, . the rules of the corporation being that. no bank _ shall charge more than two per cent for its ser- vicesin this connection. The Business Farmer is anxious to see the. farmers of this state get their share of the War Finance Corporation ’s funds, if they need it. In any case where a farmer considers himself good afor a loan and his local bank refuses to take care of him at a reasonable rate of interest, the farmer should immediate— ly" report the case to us. With the funds of the Finance Corporation now available there is no reason why any farmer in Michigan should not be able to borrow up to the limit of his financial responsibility at a rate of in- terest not to exceed seven per cent.

BURTON’S published views on disarmament have inspired profound dis- appointment among many of his'loyal fr1ends throughout the state. The University head has been quoted as saying that while he be- lieves in limitation of armaments, he is not a pacifist and cannot support the theory of complete disarmament and a world forever free of war. Dr. 'Burton’s skepticism might be excused on the grounds that he is a pure intellectualist who finds nothing in historic precedent to warrant other convictions, were it not for the fact that so many other emi- nent educators are notoriously pacifist in their views and aggressively committed to to- tal disarmament. . o The essence of most arguments against dis— armament is this: “What has not been done cannot be done. The world has always been _.cu.rsed with war and it always will be. We may lessen the destructiveness of war by hm- iting the weapons of war, but we cannot do away with war altogether.” . . The answer is this: Precedent and tradi- tion are worthless guides to the solution of present day problems. Every year that goes ‘by proves man capable of performances theretofore believed impossible. If the de- structiveness of war can be lessened by lun- iting theJYeapons of war, why is it necessary to draw a line Where such limitation shall stap? Why not contine disarmament to the “irreducible minimum." Then, what mat- " tersv if the desire for war exists, how can it be waged when the means have been destroy- ed! . "The world ’51 thought has too long been tinged with militancy. The new spirit which ' .is rapidly permeating the hearts of civilized 'nations everywhere is the spirit of love and pacifism. Let us not say . peace is» only a lovely dream. Let us believe that it can be clothed with reality, and so be- lieving we will help to hasten the glad day when war shall be no more and peace Wlll rule the universe. .

I Better Late Than Never T HE RAILROADS iiiade a tactical blunder when they deferred their freight rate reduction until after ‘ most of the__.19.21 crops had passed from the farmers’ hands. They must have knOWn months ago that they could not much» longer withstand the , public insistence that freight rates be reduced. Par- ticularly must they have been impressed with the plight of the farmers, millions of whom were practically isolated from their markets because of the prohibitive freight rates. But they argued long and ,vociferously"‘that rates I could not be reduced, knowing all the time that a reduction had to come sooner or later. It looks like another case of having the penny so close to the eye as to obscure the vision of the dollar beyond. The roads made a few mil- lion dollars by not cutting their rates ninety days ago when they should have been cut, but what they have lost in the good will of the public is beyond estimation. Lower freight rates will help the farmers some on the 1921 crops but most of the benefits will go to the dealers in farm products who now hold a large percentage of the crops.

Not a'bird twittered in thetrees. There was no flutter of life in their crowded brauches. ‘ was so still that Mild heard the ex. ted throbbing of life in his own body. He looked at Neewa, and in the gloom the cub’s eyes were glistening with a strange fire. Neither of them was afraid, yet to that cavernous silence their comradeship was born anew, and in it there was something new that crept down into their wild lit- tle souls and filled the emptiness that was left by the death bf Neewa‘s mother and the loss of Miti‘s mast- er. The pup whined gently, and in his throat Neewa made“ a" purring sound and followed it with a squeaky gruntkthat wastlike the‘ grunt of a little pig. They edged , and stood shoulder to r shoulder facing their world. They _wehton_afteralittle, liketwochildé ren «poring the mystery of an old and. andoned house.

They are badly stung but continue their bunny. stinct that had been fighting to reuse itself within him flared up like a powder—flash. Instantly be sensed the nearness of an unknown and appalling danger. There was sound about them now —-—movement in_ the trees, ghastly tremours in the air, and the crack- ling, metallic snap—snap—flap over their heads. Again Miki saw the shadow come and go. It was allowed by a second, and a third, until the vault under the trees seem- ed fllled with shadows; and with each shadow came nearer that grat- ing menace of powerfully booked jaws. Like the wolf and the fox he cringed down, hugging the earth. But it was no longer with the whimpering fear of the pup. His muscles were drawn tight, and with a snarl be bored his fangs when one of the owls swooped so low that he felt the beat of its wings. Neewa responded with a sniff that a little later in his life would have been the defiant whoof of his mother. Bear- like he was standing up. 7 And it was” upon him that one of the shad- ows descended—4. monstrous feath- ered bolt straight out of darkness. Six feet away Mlki‘s blazing eyes saw his comrade smothered under a gray mass, and for a moment or two he was held appalled and lifeless by the thunderous beat of the gargan- tuan wings. No sound came from Neewa. Flung on his back, he was digging his claws into feathers so thick and soft that they seemed to have .no heart or flesh. He felt on him the presence of the Thing that was death. The beat of the wings was like the beat of clubs; they drove the breath out of his body, they blinded his senses, yet he con- tinued to tear fiercely with his claws into a fieshless breast. In his first savage, Weep Oohoo- misew,’ whose great wings measured five feet from tip to tip, had missed his" death grip by. the fraction of an inch. His powerful talons that would have buried themselves like knives in Neewa’s vitals closed too soon, and were filled With the cub’s thick hair and loose hide.

It was the fact that Neewa made no sound, that no cry came from him, that brought Niki to his feet with his lips drawn back and a snarl in his throat. All at once fear went out of him and in its place came a wild and almost joyous exultation. He recognised their enemy—a bh'd. To him birds were a prey and not a menace. A dozen times in their journey down from the Upper Coun- try Challoner had shot big Canada geese and huge-winged cranes. Mlki had eaten their flesh. Twice he had pursued wounded cranes, yap- ping at the top of his voice, and they had run from him. He did not bark or yelp now. Like a flash he launch- ed himself into the feathered mass of the owl. His fourteen pounds of flesh and bone landed with the force of a stone, and Oohoomisew was torn from hishold and flung with a flutter of wing upon his side. Before he could recover his bal- ance Miki was at him again, strik- ing full at his head, where he had struck at the wounded crane. Oo- hoomisew went flat on his back— and for the first time Miki let out of his throat a series of savage and snarling yelps. It was a new sound to Oohoomisew and his blood-thirsty brethen watching the struggle from out of the gloom. The snapping of beaks drifted farther away and 00- hoomisew, with a sudden sweep of wings, vaulted into the air. With his big forefoot planted firm- ly and his snarling face turned up to the black ~wall of the tree tops Miki continued to bark and howl de- fiantly. He wanted the bird to come back. He wanted to tear and rip at its feathers, and as he sent out his frantic challenge Neewa rolled over, got on his feet, and with a warning squeal to Mild once more set all in flight. If Miki was ignor- ant in the matter, he at least under- stood the situation. Again it was the instinct born of countless gener— ations. He knew that in the black pits about them hovered death—41nd he ran as he had never run before in his life. As Miki followed, the shadows were beginning to float nearer again. Ahead of them they saw a glim- When every man thinks that his own home's best. And his own. wife’s sweetest, why then We’ll swing back unto the golden dream Of a heaven on earth again.

The trees gr] . taller, and soon the day began break" ing through so that there was n'; longer the cavernous hollows off gloom about them. If they had gone on another hundred yards they; would have come to the edge of the]; big plain, the hunting grounds of the? owls. But the flame of self—prom; vation’ was hot in Neewa’s head; boil.a was still dazed by the thunderOU* beat of wings; his sides burned} where Oohoomisew’s talons had scar- red his flesh; so, when he saw» in path a tangled windfall of trunks he dived into the security of it so swiftly that for a moment or two Miki wondered where he had ' gone. V crawling into the windfall after him Miki turned and poked out his head. He was not satisfied. His lips were still drawn back, and he continued to growl. He had beaten his enemy. He had knocked it over fairly, and had filled his Jaws with its feathers. In the face of that tri- umph be sensed the fact that he had run away in following Neewa, and he was possessed with the desire to go back and have it out to a finish. It was the blood of the Airedale and the Spitz growing stronger in him, fearless of defeat; the blood of his father, the giant hunting-hound Hela. It was the demand of his breed, with its mixture of welfish courage and fox-like persistency backed by the powerful jaws and Herculean strength of the Macken- zie bound, and if Neewa had not drawn deeper under the windfall. he would have gone out again and yelp- his challenge to the feathered things from which they had fled. Neewa was smarting under the red-bot stab of Oohoomisew‘s tal— ons and wanted no more of the fight that came out of the air. He began licking his wounds, and after a while Miki went back to him and smelled of the fresh, warm blood. It made him growl. He knew that it was Neewa’s blood, and his eyes glowed like twin balls of fire as they watched the opening through which they had entered into the dark, tangle of fallen trees. For an hour he did not move, and in that hour, as in the hour after the killing of the rablrit, he grew. When at last he crept amountiou- ly from under the windfall the sun“ was sinking behind the western for- ests. He peered about him, watching for movement and, listening for sound. The sagging and apologetic posture of puppyhood was gone. His overgrown feet stood squareb‘ on the ground; his angular is; were as hard as if carven out of knotty wood; his body was tense, his ears stood up, his head was rigidly set between the bony shoulders that already gave evidence of gigantic strength to come. About him he knew was the Big Adventure. The world was no longer a world of play and of snuggling under the hands .of a master. Something vastly more thrilling had come into it now. After a time he dropped on his belly close to the opening under the windfall and began chewing at the end of rope which dragged from about his neck. The sun sank lower. It disappeared. Still he waited for Neewa to come out and lie with him‘ in the open. As the twilight thick- ened into deeper gloom he drew him- self into the edge of the door under the windfall and found Neewa there. Together they peered forth into the mysterious night. For a time there was the utter stillness of the first hour of dark- ness in the northland. Up in the clear sky the stars came out in twos and then in glowing constellations. There was an early moon. It was 9‘1- ready over the edge of the forests, flooding, the world with a golden glow, and in that glow the night'was filled with grotesque black shadows that had neither movement nor sound. Then the silence was bruit-s en. From out of the OWE-infested .' pits came a strange and hollow sound. Miki had heard the shrill . screeching and the tu-who-o-o, tu- who-o—o, of the little owls, the trap- pirates, but never this voice of the strong-winged Je ' ‘ ._.. hide. or other skin or hugs. and makerthem, m and we . , m whenso er ~ahot troubles. m oar-slur attention and be M _ for. interdiction ul- ‘ MI mun-I, I -‘m (noted-Mg sweater mm , , one-ed to summon-w. no he» to lull name on ,7... nearer a. school » in * oAN‘ YOU THIS than to the school ' a ‘Howeverthere i the h’oard. e law governing this 1919 General School section 512."-——T.‘ E- Public Instruction. children livin another distri‘t ,in their own district. is no compulsion in the is left to the at .You will find “point in the 1m page 2,22, STARTING GRAPE mm mm 'j .

For bedroom cretonnes and organdie are both used. In choosing your materials hold them over a light to get the effect of colors and patterns, otherwise you may be much disappointed in the completed shade. Choose your frame and cover the wire tightly with ribbon, winding it very tightly. This gives you some- thing to sew on. _ Cut a piece of ribbon three times the length of the wire to be Wound, begin at the top and tie in. a hard knot, then wind tightly to the end of the wire and fasten neatly and securely. Do this with all wires, then your frame ‘is ready .to cover and silk twist is best to use for fast- ening the materials as it is strong. If your outside cover is to be put on plain, not plaited, put the‘lining in first, lay it on the inside of the frame holding it in place with pins. flow around the top leaving a half- ‘inch of the goods to be turned over onto the right side of the frame, earns around the bottom. Then put on the outside in the samo manner, turning the raw edges in top and bottom so that all edges are smooth. Seam your terial together care- fully before ginning operations. The edges may be finished with a silver or gold braid or the bottom edge with a fringe. I saw a very attractive cretonne shade with a fringe. of white beads around the bottom. fringe would also be pretty. ‘ , One cannot be too carerul in choosing colors. Rose and pink are the most cheerful, next comes yellow and then shades of tan and/rose or blue combined. ’ For 'el trio fixtures. painted bulbs are ingused but it is hardly work for the amateur. connmommt ~ Mrs. A. .8. of Memphis-sfltgm ' isthebestknown'mfi,.,_.h A White silk‘ ' very thankful for it.

R, Beavers ton, Michigan. > . The’ symptoms of tuberculosis h cows vary according to the location of the parts of the body affected. There is probably no organ or tissue lot the body that is not susceptible to the infection. Since we have (tn- berculosis of the lungs. liver, intes- tines. spleen, heart, kidneys, lymph glands, bones, joints, udder, repro- ductive organs and skin. One on roadin perceive that since the lee- ions of this‘diseese may be widely scattered throughout the body al- most any symptom shown by a cow may be a symptom of tuberculosis. For instance, ‘unthriftiness in\spii:e of a good appetite, a. chronic cough. chronic diarrhoea, frequent bloating. chronic. lameness, hard lumps in the udder with occasional preSence of bloodmr curd in the milk may be in- dications oi! the disease. However, in a quite large number’ of cases there are no apparent lesions at All. In fact some animals show a tend- ency to lay on flesh, especially dun- tng the first’stagos of the disease. The diagnosis of this disease by sym— ptoms alone is not possible except in some very advanced, cases. Sub- jecting suspicious animals to the tuberculin test is the most reliable method of determining whether they 9 affected.

An improved deb mand for many basic, products, such- as wool, cotton, hides and lumber is one of the features 'of a {ire-holiday trade that ioreshadoWs "a good win- ter’s business in the products Amanu- factured from the materials reflerred to. ‘The cotton and woolen goods “situation is being complicated, it is -. "true, by the garment makers’ strike ‘: which now bids fair to be a long. drawn out affair. There are certain facts, connected with the business revival now going on,. which indi- cates that the demand for nearly all ‘ of the necessaries of life except food products is growing stronger, every day. The buying movement, which is developing at this time, is the di- 'rect result of a growing conviction that times are going to improve and that the only way to secure a supply and a comfortable surplus, for fu- ture emergencies. is to go out and buy before thelgeneral public “gets next” and values begin to soar. ‘ ' ~Wool is growing strongen every day, under pressing demand from . fabricate 5 upon ‘ whom the convic- tion, tha there will not be' wool enough to go around, is just begin- ning to dawn. The'trade in all kinds of construction lumber is ac- tive but, just‘now, hardwood seems to have the preference in the de- ’ mand. 0n the Pacific coast, the lum- ber trade has been booming for some time past but‘ at the Atlantic sea- board, a dependable demand is, ,just _ beginning to develop. In New ~York City and state, the trade is gaining momentum, rapidly and many good judges of the situation are looking for a“ winter building boom as a di- rect result of the working of the state law that exompts all homes that are begun before “May, 1922, from .payingtaxes for 10 years. The steel and pig iron trade is 7 arking time, probably, because-of 0" "L e uncertainty concerning the out- come of the arms conference. Corn wheat, cattle and hogs are selling son’s business. The lowering of the freight rates on farm products ' certainly soon begin to hawk a fav- ; orable efl’ect on business in the ex- clusively agricultural districts of the country. Bank statements and clearing- house reports show that the finan- cial situation is growing stronger, every day and, as naturally would be ted. the accumulation of funds tends to weaken interest rates for both cell and time money. On , the New York Stock Exchange call money has, of late. ranged between 4 1-2 and 5 1-2 per cent. Profit tak- ing has been the leading feature of ' the week’s business insecurities of all kinds but bonds have been in w tive demand. The week’s bank clear- . 11138 were “5,982,792,000. .

Expect v» bu’ll story brought out enough wheat to ease up the market again. Wheth- er of not the report was, entirely rumor. or had some foundation. in fact has not yet been clearly estab- lished. Condition of tall sown grains the world over is nOne too encour- aging. Dry weather prevails in many sections and of both the Unit- ed States and Europe, but as point- ed out by a Chicago authority, this, condition cannot be taken as a bull factor for "Kansas has sown wheat in the dust and harvested a. bumper crop." This same, authority estimates that the “thebretical “surplus” of wheat in this country willnll be cleared by January 1st. He points out that clearances from July 1st to October 1le aggregated 162,000,000 bushels, and for November promise to be around 20,000,0‘00, which will leave only 18,000,000 bushels for December clearance. This would leave the United States upon a pure- ly domestic basis somewhat earlier than usual. The’ ,sffect of this situ- ation will not be’seen until the sur- plus crops of the other export coun- tries like Canada, Anstraiia and Ar-, gentlne are cleared. Cdnada‘ will, it is believed will make the”Ameri- can price for wheat for some time to come.- Despite the fact that she. has cleared for an export a. very large percentage of her crop, great “quantities are yet to be marketed and a good many million bushels are in transit to foreign ports. One very important factor which will affect all grains. must not" be lost sight of. The War Finance Cor- at the extreme low point of the sea- » porafion is loaning money to farm- ers through banks and co-operative societies with incredible speed and prodigality. -' Farmers who avail. themselves .01 these funds will not ‘ ' room. he, in, such a hurry to maer fiheir surplus/grains. considerable hold- ing movement is therefore looked ,.for, and if this develops we ‘can‘most certainly expect a stronger market ,_ in consequence. The current week opens with the " market easy and prices slightly high- er than a week ago, We do not an- ' ticipate any important changes in the wheat market this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Any gains which may be made the fore part of the week are quite likely to , be lost by the close, .. CORN . .

U LIVE STOCK MARKETS The cattle trade is certainly on the rocks for ‘sure with‘very little prospect of ‘any material improve- ment before the advent of the Christ- mas holiday. A set of. circumstances and conditions have combined to drive the demand for live cattle and dressed beef‘down dangerously near the vanishing point; Jn Chicago, the packinghouse crowd is playing the game in the usual way, banking on the farmer’s need for tax money to keep the hopper full of .both cattle " and hogs», In the cattle end of the market, the competition is strong, between the grass cattle cleanup and the; generous run of shortfed cattle that is coming to hand. The weath- ' er of late’ has been badly against ac- tiVity in either live or dressed ani— mals and the week‘s decline in the steer division of the Chicago market equals right around 75 cents per .cwt. ~ ‘ The slump in fat cattle values has had a deadening effect on the trade in stockers and feeders and selling prices eased off from 25 to 5.0 cents ‘ in all of the leading markets of the country. - Very few cattle have gone east for feeding purposes during the late summer and fall months as‘the .50 per cent cut in live. stock rates did not apply east I'o’ffClrlcago. So far this fall, Pennsylvania has taken but very few feeding cattla"1rom the west because «fracturing/W rateaandthefacttbatthelocalm. , floss is just about equal _ and; tor the ‘ . flockiieumr" higher especially. in the ._ «ment A I SIG!“ feeding. lambs): Groping .11!

It is an en- . couraging fact, however, that every ' time the market eases off a strong wave of buying develops and a mod- erate reaction takes place. Grow- ers are finding no fault with the» prices they are getting, they need the money and they knew that what they have to sell will bring it if the amount is small. The current mar- ket for all kinds 'of meat, except poultry, is adversely affected by the over‘supply of the latter which every Detroit dealer has on hand. Cooler weather is in prospect and, as a re- sult, a better trade in meats is look- ed for. P—i "-1 Wigwam“ . .
