$1 in Agricultural Products
Purchases Only 25 Cents
Necessities.
A lost of (75 a head on every head
of cattle, 4 to S on hogs and from
60 to 75 cents a bushel on wheat, 50
cents oil corn and enormous lessen
on all other farm products has been
brought out by an Investigation of
larin prices In Saline county, Mis-
souri, by the local county agent lu
compiling Information for congress.
"We find," says the report, "that $1
of agricultural products purchase
only 25 cents In agricultural necea-
BltlCS."
The cost of producing certain farm
products as found by tho Investiga-
tion was as follow*:
A bushel of wheat. $1.75.
A bushel of coru, 00 cents.
A ton of hay, $20.
A pound of pork. 9 cents.
A pound of beef from 13 to 17
cents.
"None of these product* lmvu
shown any stimulation on the mar-
ket but have decreased from 20 to *' 0
per cent within the last year, while
tho cost of production has shown
very little downward trend." says
the report.
A:t a eoncrete example of how corn
has exceeded shoes in the drop in
priee, Eli Daniel of Gilliam, president
of the Saline County Breeders' Asso-
ciation, said:
"I always wear the same kind of
shoe. l«ast year five and a half bush-
els of corn purchased a pair and this
year the shoe cost me twenty-three
bushels."
These five reasons were Riven by
the meeting for present conditions:
1. Gambling on the board of trade.
2. Packer domination of the meat
sources.
3. I*ck or foreign markets.
4. Difference In monetary ex-
change.
5. The Inclination on the part of
the manufacturer, jobber and retailer
to make a profit In spite of the fact
that the farmer customers have been
sustaining severe losses in nil their
products.
A part of the figures in which the
findings were based came from the
records of Harry Orr of Mount Leon-
ard, who has a wide reputation as a
farm statistician.

The Markets
Muring Wheat.
Many fanners over the country are
storing their wheat in anticipation
of better prices. This applies especi-
ally to the old crop as it is generally
supposed last year's wheat is gen-
erally much better having been har-
vested under Ideal conditions while
rain and unfavorable weather this
season has made the wheat grade
lower.
One farmer who has held 2.500
bushels of wheat in his granary near
Yukon, has recently hauled it to the
mill and placed it in storage at a
cost of one cent a bushel each month
it remains in the mill. He may sell
it at any time. He believes that old
wheat will brln;, a premium for the
reason that it is much better than
the new crop.
Of course this farmer Is dis-
couraged. At one time he could
liute sold this wheat ut a
hushe: aud intended to do so but
owlni? to the ear shortage and
later due to bad roods he passed
by the opportunity aud then
when wheat took the stead\ de-
cline he thought that sooner or
later the price was sure to
stabilize aud he naited.
He does not want to sell now for
he feels the loss of $1.25 on every
bushel and is hoping to recuperate
some of the loss which is very
natural. He argues that surely
wheat can not go much lower when
there is a shortage in the crop gen

wire for windows, hinges, and nails.
Common boards one Inch thick may
be used instead of matched flooring
for inclosing the house, but in that
cane battens should bj used over the
cracks. Boards as wide as possible
should bo used, as the wider the
boards the fewer the battens re-
quired. The battens are somewhat
cheaper, and just as satisfactory, al-
though the house will not be quite
so attractive.

She started to tell what Judge 1 resenting the company, declares s
Wright told Smith, but counsel fnr | checkrows him approximately 40,-
the defense objected and Judge Piltz
sustained the objection.
While Smith was talking Mrs. M.
Boarman said that Detective McCloud
and two other men were listening in ;
the next room.
Mrs. Boarman testified she got
$1,500 from Judge Wr ht on June 1.
"It was for my home," she said in
response to a question from Attor-
ney General Freeling.
She said $1,000 was from Judge
Wright in a certified check he had
not signed and that later a Mr.
Watchorn, whom she had heard
called "Hank" Watchorn brought in
place a!? personal check for $1,000
and that he came to get back a deed
Judge Wright wanted.
Ernest Withers took the stand to
testify that he has known of alight
difficulties existing between Judge
Wright and Mrs. Boarman concern-
ing the house in which Mrs. Boar-
man lived at Oklahoma city.
Bill McCray, Tulsa oil man, was

Boyd, it is said, was given until
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to set-
tle his accounts when he suddenly
became ill. He was rushed to a hos-
pital by members of his family and
| physicians announced he was suffer-
ing from nervousness.
A check was made in his accounts
by the home office in Gal ion, Ohio,
when warrants from counties in
Oklahoma ceased to come In, in pay-
ment for supplies sold. It developed
that the warrants had been paid hy
Enid banks with Boyd's endorsement,
Derfkoff declared.
Civil action against two Enid banks
will be taken, asking recovery of
these funds. Boyd was unauthorized
by the corporation to cash any
checks. It was staled. Bond on each
of the four charges has been placed
at $5,000, a total of $20,000.

McCray testified that Wr'^ht told

Two witnesses cnlled by the state

they said he spoke to them of his

by the six policemen loaned him by

purpose of patrolling the county
roads.
"While Glitsch has offered to 'turn

lice worked in co-operation on the
