GRAIN PRICES. 
It looks to us ns If hay must conic down 
or oats go up. We think corn and feed* 
stuffH arc high enough, though think it pos¬ 
sible they may work higher as season ad¬ 
vances. HKI.IA.NCK M KUCAN'J'ILB CO. 
Saginaw, Mich. 
The question of grain prices is a pretty 
hard one to settle. We do not think prices 
on grain are high compared with what 
they have been the last few years. The 
tendency of the market so fnr has been 
downward until the last few' days, when 
oats and rye are doing a little better. We 
think the price on hay is undoubtedly In¬ 
flated, and we should sec lower prices as 
the season advances. J. i>. mVi.aukn co. 
Plymouth, Mich. 
It appears to me that the Government es¬ 
timates have been decidedly "off.” While 
grain has moved apparently very freely, in 
reality only a small percentage of it has 
moved from this section. The farmers are 
independent, having healthy hank accounts, 
etc., and are holding. This, I think, is true 
of hay as well, many of the farmers hold¬ 
ing their hay at tills time for .f. r > per ton 
more than they can realize on the basis of 
the present markets, iuvin t. kangbonkh. 
Bellevue, O. 
It is not an easy matter to judge the 
future prices of grain and feed markets 
fills year. However, without going into de¬ 
tail it would seem as if feed will rule at 
higher prices toward the end of tills year, 
and of course during the Winter months 
and early part ol next year. Oats seem to 
imvc been hammered down to a basis where 
they resist further drives pretty Well, and 
we would not he surprised to see oats work 
gradually higher from now on. Corn is a 
debatable proposition. Considering prices 
obtaining on other grains, corn Is cheap 
now ; however, all indications are for still 
lower prices during the next couple of 
months. Huy, we think, will sell at higher 
juices later on, as the demand for tins 
commodity Is pretty fair and supply not any 
too much. THE FItANKK CJKA1N CO.

SHREDDED CORN FODDER. 
Several people have asked if it would 
pav to hale shredded corn fodder and ship 
It to market. The theory Is good, but the 
practice would fall. The fodder is not 
found in any hay markets that we know of. 
The writer lias not known of any 
shredded corn fodder being put up or sold 
In this market. He has made Inquiry or 
all retail dealers and learned that it is an 
unknown commodity to thin trade so itti 
as handling If here Is concerned. 
Nashville, Tcnn. chas. oouzke. 
There will he no corn fodder dr any¬ 
thing of this kind this year from the State 
of Minnesota on account of shortage In 
hay crop. Wo have* been receiving nay 
practically all Summer from other State's, 
and will be obliged to look to other States 
for forage until new crops next year. 
•St Paul, Minn. c. a. hank & co. 
There is no market here for shredded 
fodder; six or seven years ago there were a 
few curs slilpjH'd to tills market, hut we do 
not think it sold for enough to pay M- 
proses. We know of one ear being sold to 
warehouse man for $5, and he held It for 
two years, and may have some of it yet. 
St I aiuls. PA NIKI, V. BYUNK COM. CO. 
In regard to shredded corn fodder will 
state that none of this was ever offered for 
sale in this market to our knowledge. A 
IVw years ago an attempt was made to sell 
It, but without any success whatever. We 
do not think there Is anyone in this part 
of the country that Is haling and shipping 
corn fodder. w. J. ahmsthono co. 
Milwaukee, Wis. 
Shredded corn fodder is a good feed In 
our estimation If used upon the farm. Jr 
it is cut and stored in the hayloft It keeps 
in good condition as fnr as our Information 
has gone. However, as receivers in a large 
market, our experience was not satisfactory, 
nor wen* the retailers or dairymen satisfied 
with it. Therefore, we never advise the 
shipment of It to this market in any ease, 
nor is there any call for it or any estab¬ 
lished price. It does not keep nice ana 
sweet in the center of the hale when it has 
been haled very long. We frequently found 
a moulded center in the hale. Moisture 
seems to have gathered in the pith. H it 
were not for flint we believe it would he 
a line feed, and valuable. We never advise 
anyone to bale or ship if, and space is too 
valuable in the large cities to handle it

There Is no haled shredded corn fodder 
coming to these markets, but it Is hard to 
say what they will put on the markets, 
1 m* fore the Winter is over. The hay crop 
Is a failure In this State this year, owing ( 
to the drought, except the* sloughs and river 
bottoms which wen* cut this year, the first 
time in twenty-live years. There Is very 
little hay, not enough for the farmers 
stock. We are being supplied now by Kan¬ 
sas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. We doubt 
whether they can furnish enough to see us 
through to the harvesting of the 1911 crop, 
Wisconsin Is a little bettor off than we are. 
In some localities they cut about 20 per 
cent of a crop of Timothy, as well as hav¬ 
ing a larger area of sloughs to cut.

APPLE NOTES. 
The apple crop is very small around here. 
1 have not heard of any offers on them 
yet, hut I am getting $1 per bushel In 
the Trenton market, and they will go 
higher. All farm crops are very good. 
Taylorsville, Pa. k. J. 
We have the largest crop of apples ever 
grown In this valley, Kittitas, on the upper 
Yakima: trees all loaded to their capacity 
and fruit coloring nicely. A great deal or 
thinning of the fruit has been done, hut 
still not enough. I tell you It fakes nerve 
to get. them thin enough while they are 
small. il. G. o. 
Washington. 
We began tutting corn yesterday, planted 
May 2d. Owing to dry season we have 
about 75 per cent of a crop; it may be a 
little more thnn that: sold two loads of 
old corn at 05 cents a bushel. No peaches. 
Apples 20 per cent of a crop. Hay scarce 
and high In price; Fall pasture doing nicely. 
A year ago we seeded clover in the standing 
corn in a young peach orchard. We cul¬ 
tivated the tree rows only this year and 
have a flue crop of clover to turn under 
next year. The seed cost ine $1 an acre; 
a cheap fertilizer and a good one.

Some owners report a full crop in fine con¬

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. 
You remember how the President and 
Congress labored all last Winter so the 
people could have postal savings banks. 1 
suppose you have noticed how the people 
arc* rushing to deposit their money In the 
postofliees. Now, when the men that own 
the express companies and own the rail¬ 
roads and own enough of the- .Senators to 
control legislation consent to giving us 
parcel post. Imagine what a different kind 
of a rush there will be to the postoffices.

Blasting a Woodchuck.— In n recent 
Issue J notice an Inquiry touching ways of 
getting rid of the wooden tick. Perhaps this 
method, suggested by a neighbor, will be 
of use to your readers: Buy some black 
blasting powder and a few feet of fuse. Put 
several ounces of the powder in a bottle, 
connect with sufficient fuse, drop the bottle 
as fnr down the woodchuck's burrow ns pos¬ 
sible, plug the openings with earth or rock, 
and light the fuse. As the neighbor who 
employs this remedy puts it, “You will 
have some Interesting fireworks, and that 
woodchuck will never do any more damage.” 
JAMES H. COLLINS. 
Massachusetts. 
K. N.-Y. If properly applied we should 
think the woodchuck would be reduced to 
a high-grade fertilizer.
