ter have all tilings prepared for a.

our advice to fanners last Novem-
ber not to i,ell grain at tile ridicu-
lously low prices then prevailing
had wonderful effect. Fully half the
farmers of this continent held their
grain, the great central markets
never were known to have such a
shortage and millions of dollars
have been saved to the farmers who
ill III their grain. That kind of ad-
vice is about all we can publish on
the subject of grain dealing.
If we were to publicly advise
farmers when to sell it might affect
the markets agalnsl their Interests.
Wi also forecasted the great frosts
that ruined so much corn but the
agricultural department of the gov-
ernment failed to give even a hint of
Hie vast damage till leiig after the
big speculators hllil bought up the
corn options at very low prices We
are not censuring the speculators
but (lie agriculture department
should have given earlier informa
Hon about the frost damaged corn.

Throughout the lecture, occasion
