(
One hundred and twenty-two
farmers' elevators in five of the
important grain growing states of
the middlewest have signed con
tract! to handle grain for the Unit
ed States Grain Growers, Inc., ac
cording to a summary of organi
sation's work issued by the national
headquarters. The reports show that
10 elevators in Illinois, eight in
Oklahoma, 39 in North Dakota, 33
in Nebraska and 30 in Missouri
have become identified with the
movement.
"Special importance is attached to
reports from Illinois," said R. N.
Clarks, director of membership so
licitation in that state, "because of
' the effort now being made by agents
of the Chicago Board of Trade to
discredit the idea of co-operation
before farmers and directors of
county elevators. Flied solicitors
have been at work in Illinois for
only two days and thus far they
have been able to complete nego
tiations with every group cf direc
tors before whom our plan has been
explained. This fact strongly indi
cates that producers are determined
to try co-operative grain marketing
on a national basis."
In Oklahoma, in addition to eight
elevators signed up, solicitors ob
tained grower contracts from 132
farmers. In North Dakota, where 39
1'elevators have joined the movement,
bushelage represented by grower
contracts, already signed, is in ex
cess of 5,000,000. In Nebraska, where
35 elevators have been signed up,
solicitors as yet are making no spe
cial effort to obtain grower con-
, tracts. In Missouri, where 30 ele
vators have signed up, grower con
tracts have been obtained from 106
farmers.
"In most states," says the state
ment, "solicitors are confining their
efforts to obtaining contracts with
elevators. The plan of the United
Grain Growers, Inc., includes two
contracts, one with the grower, run
ning to his local elevator, and the
second running from the local ele
vator to the national sales agency.
Because the whole problem of co
operative grain marketing will be
simplified in sections where country
handling facilities are available, it
has been found advisable to com
plete negotiations with local eleva
tors before grower contracts are
circulated. This accounts for the
fact that few reports have been re
ceived as to the number of these
latter agreements that have been
signed.
"The national sales plan includes
a direct contract between the grow
er and the national sales agency, but
this will be used only in sections
wherei local elevators either cannot
or will not become a party to the
natifrnal movement."
First Bulk Shipment
Of Wheat Is Made From
Port of Australia
The first vessel ever loaded in
Australia with a cargo of wheat in
bulk recently took in a load of
4,500 tons at Sydney and was dis
patched to the United Kingdom for
orders, according to the Canadian
department of trade and commerce.
Australian wheat growers have long
been interested in the bulk handling
of wheat.
The first shipment of wheat in
bulk is largely experimental and it
will be the only shipment made un
til the results are known. The
varying temperatures encountered
during the voyage are a subject of
concern. The cargo, after leaving
the temperate climate of Sydney,
passes through the colder southern
latitudes, then through the equa
torial regions, and finally ' again
through a colder climate to reach
its destination How these temper
ature variations will affect the cargo
4S as yet undetermined.
As the dunnage required 'for lin
ing the holds is ' not available in
Australia, the timber has to be im
ported and the cost of lining is
tnereiore a large iiem. in xnis in
stance the cost was $12,745 for the
one ship, and as the cargo totaled
66,000 bushels, the cost of fitting
he ship was nearly 8 cents per
bushel. Although the cost of load
ing bulk wheat is ordinarily much
jess than loading it in bags, the ex
pense of lining the ship in this in
stance made the bulk shipment $2.51
per ton ftTgher than the cost of load
ing bagged wheat Shippers and
shipowners are therefore not espe
cially favorable toward bulk load
ing at present time.
New Zealand's Wheat Crop
Placed at 5,975,000 Bushels
The total production of wheat for
New Zealand should be approxi
mately 5,975,000 bushels compared
with an actual yield of 5.559,934 bu
shels for the season of 1919-20, ac
cording to the New Zealand depart
ment of agriculture.
The percentage of oats threshed
in 1919-20 was 34.79 of the total
area unaer mat crop. - Assuming i
that a similar proportion is threshed
this year, the total production of
grain should be approximately 5,
520,000 bushels compared with 6,
967,662 bushels for the previous sea
son; but from the information so
far available it would appear unlike
ly that the proportion of oats
threshed this season will be as high
as in the season 1919-20.
Mexico Imposes Duty on
Imports of Live Stock
t" By a Mexican decree, effective
Tune 17, an import duty of $4.99 in
United States currency per head is
imposed on live stock, with the ex
ception of males imported with fe
males for breeding, with a propor
tion of two males for each female,
reports the American consul at Mex
ico Citjrv
Banks Reaping
Benefits From
Wheat Harvest
Threshing Well Under Way in
Southern and Central Parts
Of State Yields
Spotted.
Already banks and mortgage com
panies of the middle west and es
pecially of Nebraska and Iowa, are
beginning to feel the effects of the
wheat harvest in the liquidation of
loans and mortgages by farmers.
Threshing is well under way in the
southern part of Nebraska and ma
chines in the central and northern
sections of the state are beginning to
hum. Harvest hands are reported to
be more plentiful than for several
years and an abundance ot lahor can
be had at $3 a day.
While the movement of wheat to
market is not yet at its height, it is
well started, and a large increase in
receipts at the principal markets is
looked for during the present week.
Wheat receipts at Omaha last week
averaged from Mi to oUU cars a day.
Receipts at Chicago last Saturday
were reoorted to be the largest in
some time and a rally in the market
came, after big receipts at the lead
ing terminal points had forced the
price down at the start.
Reports of crop failures in Russia
also have lead to stronger selling on
the Chicago market of late, and both
Belffium and Germany have been re-
Dorted as being in the market for
large purchases ot late.
Wheat yields in NebrasKa are
rather spotted, according to reports
from a number of sections of the
state. Yields are said to range xrom
as hieh as 25 to 30 bushels an acre
to as low as 12 to 18 bushels. Prices
paid at the farms rtm from w cents
to $I.UJ.
Grain Consortium In
Bulgaria Successful
The
activities of the Bulgarian
consortium established in
grain
1919 to control the exportation of
surnlus crain have met with consid
rrahle success, according to the
American consul at Sofia. The con
sortium collected 166.000 metric
tons ( a meric ton is 2,204.6 pounds)
of grain during 1920. almost entirely
from the croo of 191V.
During the first 10 months of 1920
the consortium exported uy.oii tons
of grain to the following countries:
Austria, 39,134; Belgium, Jtvj;
Italv. 17.963: Czechoslovakia, 8,433;
Poland, 1,100; Greece, 281, and
Fgypt, 100. The greater part of this
erain was corn.
The total grain crop of 1920
amounted to about 2,738,473 metric
tons compared with 2.527,317 tons in
1919. A small part of the 1920 crop
has already been exported by the
consortium.
Numher of Live Stock in t
Quehec Is Decreasing
The number of live stock in the
province of Quebec, Canada, appears
to be decreasing, according to fig
ures supplied by the provincial bu
reau of statistics. Holdings of sheep,
however, have shown a moderate in
crease during the past few years. The
continual decrease in the number of
milk cows is attributed to high feed
ing costs, and that of horses to the
increasing use of automobiles and
farm tractors.
Despite efforts made by the" gov
ernment to encourage . hog rais
ing, little success has resulted, as
farmers maintain that it is an un
profitable business. The government
is also endeavoring to improve the
breed of sheep, by establishing a
number of grading stations.
Australian Wool Situation
The enormous accumulations of
wool in Australia are causing great
uneasiness and may precipitate se
rious financial results, reports the
American consul at Melbourne. An
effort is being made to regulate the
sale of wool in such a manner as to
maintain prices. Some of the own
ers of wool find it necessary, how
ever, to dispose of their stocks and
serious breaks in market prices arc
anticipated.
'Dry' Agents Harvest
Bumper 'Wet Crop on
Farm in Sucker State
Surprising products are being rais
ed on farms this year. For instance,
prohibition agents went to a farm
near Barrington, 111., recently," pump
ed water out of a cistern with a false
bottom and then from the second
cistern beneath, they raised 75 gal
lons of alcohol. The farm also yield
ed five barrels of whisky, 34 cases
of pint bottles of whisky and 35 gal
lon jugs of booze.
Authorities for some time have
been puzzled over the source of sup
ply of booze to students of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and various
points in northern Illinois. It is
believed the raid solved that problem.
'De Ducks" Get Crops
Iowa Farmer Says in
Asking for New Loan
Some of the problems now facing
farmers were outlined by an Iowa
man. in attempting to explain to a
banker at Dubuque, just why it was
necessary to receive a loan to tide
him over a lean period.
"But." said the banker, "I don':
understand why you should want to
borrow, money when you have just
shipped your crop. What did you
do with the money?
"De ducks rot it," replied the
farmer. '
"What do you mean by de ducks?"
"We l. explained the Jarmer. i
shipped the car to market and sold it
for 52 cents a bushel. "They 'de
duck' freight, that left 31 cents; 'de-
duck 1 cent commission-, which lett
30 cents: 'deduck elevator charges,
that left 27 cents: deduck husking,
that left 15 cents: 'deduck' hauling,
that left 5 cents; 'deduck' the hired
man's wages from that and you are
a darn sight better farmer than l am
if you can hnd anything lett.

more than 1,000,000 plows with a
value of over $40,000,000, $225,000
farm wagons with a value ot nearly
$25,000,000 and 41Z.UU0 haying ma

United States during the year of
1920, according to detailed reports
from 583 manufacturers summarized
by bureau of public roads, United
States Department ot Agriculture.
The total value of implements
manufactured was $537,000,000 and
gas tractors constituted more than
one-third of the total.
Spanish Crop Estimates

Progress of the Crops.
Weekly Crop Bullotln of the Arlcultnrl
Bareaa Omaha vtuunDer oi uraunww,
The third week In July te probably the
most Important week or the aeaion in
tt fft on crooe. Thii ! became It li
the climax of the season throughout the
main part of the corn belt and the "fin.
ishing off" period in the spring wheat
country. This condition emphasizes the
surpassing value of a great fall of ra!
euch as came to the lower Missouri val
ley on July 17 and 18. Those midsummer
showers almost assure the corn crop In
an area of 60,000 square miles in wnicn
corn Is the leading crop. Unfortunately
all parts of the corn Belt aid not snare
In this solendid rainfall, ana mere are
very considerable areas on the west wa
tershed of tbe Mississippi river arimw
area, the head of Lake Michigan ' and
tbn lower Ohio valley where the extreme
heat continued till late In the week, with
the prevalent drouthy conditions becom
ing daily more serious. Doubtless west
ern Kentucky ana Tennessee ana souin-
orn Indiana have suffered most of any.
Pastures have failed in much of that
territory so that feeding live stock Is
necessary. A similar condition exists In
southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois,
northeastern Missouri and a consideraDie
area adjoinlnng In Iowa is very much In
need of rain. The corn crop in mose
districts Is not seriouely damaged as yet,
though it is below normal as a prospect.
The Injury is most apparent In the yield
of oats, potatoes and hay, and the fail
ure of pastures.
Harvesting and threshing made rapia
nrocress In all districts except in ine
area of Kansas and Nebraska, where the
work was stopped by the heavy rain of
Sunday last. Western Nebraska and
eastern Colorado had fine weather fo
winter wheat harvesting and report some
very good yields. This week will pronaniy
complete the winter wheat harvest In
the high altitudes, with generally a very
good crop and less than normal loss from
hall.
The cotton states have had very sat.
Isfactory weather conditions. The west
ern district had ample ehowers m the
Red river valley and while Texas got
but little rain its farming areas are not
much in need. The eastern cotton states
have had full relief from the drouth ex
cept In small areas and all growing crops
show improvement. The slow growtn or
cotton and tobacco through the drouth
period gave opportunity for much Insect
damage, and the cotton boll weevil, not
heretofore found in the uplands of the
Carolina, is doing some damage In that
district. In considerable areas of both
the gulf and Atlantic coast plains, where
there has been much rain lately, cotton
a not fruiting heavily, and upon the
whole the cotton crop promises only a
moderate yield.
. New England and tbe north Atantto
states have had showers generally, and
In many districts enough rain to ma
terially Improve conditions. The Lake
Ontario district and the St. Lawrence
valley, however, report the drouth un
broken.
The Paclflo coast and most of the In
ter-mountaln states have had nothing to
Interfere with their harvesting opera
tions. The Puget sound country had
temperatures below normal, which fur.
ther benefited Its large orchard Interests,
as Botn apples and pears are growing
well and maturing slowly. They promise
largely to supply the fruit failure ot the
com belt states. New Tork state and
Michigan report promising fruit prospects.
All the range statfa report abundance
of feed on the ranges except the extreme
southwest. Grass la rapidly curing un
der prevailing weather conditions, and
ive etock is doing better than usual. A
arge second crop of alfalfa Is being
harvested, and all other Irrigated ctods
are making fine progress, with generally
ample water for Irrigation. -

Hogs Tne week is closing wun a eai
urday run of hogs estimated at 6,400
head. Trade was featured by a good de
mand for lights and an easier tendency
to prices on heavies and common mixed
packing grades. Desirable hogs sold early
at an advance of about lOo and trade
weakened to a steady basis on the re
mainder of supply with the closing mar
ket slow, 1016e lower. Best light hogs
topped at 310.50, and bulk of the receipts
sold from 33.7610.26. Hog trade during
the week has been rather uneven but is
closing at an average advance of about
10c over a week ago.

Twenty Per Cent
Larger This Year
According to reports to the slate
department of agriculture from the
26 field inspectorr in the potato in
dustry, the acreap, ' this year will be
an increase of over 20 per cent of
that of last year.
With a normal yield, the crop
ought to produce 10,000,000 bushels,
Cr equivalent to the banner years of
1917 and 1918. The yield last year
was 8,000,000 bushels.
Acreage in the Kearney district
where digging for early shipments
will soon begin, is about double that
of last year, according to reports.
The condition is reported good.
Nebraska ranks fifth in potato pro
duction, and early potatoes have at
tracted attention in the south, where
they are used extensively for seed,
says the department statement.
The department of agriculture has
just ruled that potatoes shipped for
seed must grade No. 1, except as
to size.
