death. In 1906 Reinhart Schwemmer emigrated with his family to the U. S. and settled in (Minnesota, but left a year latter to locate in this neighborhood, residing near Hillsboro, and lately in Tampa. He 18 mourned by his widow, nine children and nine grand-children.

Requiescat in CAMPBELL CAMPBELL, Pubs. Entered at the Postoffice at Tampa, Kansas, as second class matter. Tersely summed up, the grain market is worse and more of it. The wheet prices hove persistently declined, with some rallies, but each time it has declined it has reached a new low point. There is nothing in sight at this writing to cause wheat prices to advance, very much.

And I firmly believe the only thing that will be much of a factor is the chance for dry weather. There is practically no snow in the mountains this year. We have had such a mild winter that it is hardly probable that we will have acold wet spring, and should we have the reverse, the wheat crop in the great wheat belt can be almost a failure. The wheat this year is estimated to be about tree weeks earlier than normal, and the chances are that we can easily have a hot, dry spring. And to you farmers who are holding your wheat for higher prices you are holding it against the elements.

On the other hand, if the farmers would rush to sell their wheat, it could easily slump to a dollar a bushel in a For the comsuming demard is amply supplied and were it forced on the market there is no one only the speculator to take it up. So all in all the best for the greatest number is to allow this wheat to go on the market as it can be consumed. The ern situation is no beter. There is a record breaking crop. There is today about 13,000,000 bushels of corn held in elevators in.

Chicago, and 3,000,000 bushels in Kansas City. It has been bought on the cash market and sold to the speculator. There is plenty of corr. to supply the consuming demand with a good bit of surplus to go in to storage, and each week there is about or better than 300.000 bushels' increase in storage. To those of you who desire to hold your corn.

and are nt in a position to do so, it may be well to sell your cash corn and buy in the July or the September futures. I may be wrong but by doing so I believe it will have a tendency to sustain the prices; for I firmly believe that if the future trading was absolutely stopped, that corn could easily drop to 25 cents a bushel. Some of our correspondents think better for the farmer to sell all his stuff as soon as he can for they claim that if we have a good crop this year there will be a big carry-over and would have a tendency to depress the market for the next crop; but would it have the same tendency if it were sold and placed in the speculators' hands? It might be well for one small locality if they could and would sell now at these prices but should it be general it would certainly depress the markets to disastrous degree. So my advice is to hold all the corn you can in the ear, and if you have any shelled that will deteriate better dispose of it before it does so. For oats there is absolutely no demand and farmers had better keep what they have in their bins, as it is almost foolish to ship them to the eastern markets.
