HE WESTERN RATE CASE
Appllradon for IVrmimdon to In
create Freight Hates on Live
Stock and Farm Irodnrts
When the eastern railroads were
granted a general increase in freight
rates last winter, a good many people
conclu..ded that it would not be
long before the western roads would
be handed a similar present on, per
haps, a silver platter. On the other
hand, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission probably received more ad
verse criticism than praise for deal-
ng with the eastern roads on a more
liberal basis than public opinion was
ready to sanction. What effect the
attitude of the public had on the set
tlement of the requests of the west
ern roads for an Increase ln revenue
Is difficult to say, but it looks as
though it did not entirely fall upon
deaf ears. The commission has Just
given its decision upon the rate in
creases asked by the western roads,
but has refused to grant increases on
a good many important products. As
it stands, the railroads are probably
fairly well satisfied, for the new rates
provide for Increases estimated to
yield an annual Income of a little ov
er $1,600,000. Since this means
that much more net instead of gross
Income per year, it will be a consid
erable boost for the railroads after
all.
The commodities on which increas
ed rates have been allowed are: Car
loads of brewer's rice, fruits and veg
etabk-s, hay and straw, bltumniouB
coal and coke. On the following, in
creased rates were not allowed: Live
stock and packing . house products,
grain and grain products, fertilizers,
cotton and cotton goods. Farmers
should feel well satisfied with the de
cision because rales for the more im
portant commodities from their
standpoint live stock and grain and
products . made therefrom remain
unchanged. Farmer and Breeder.
Future Cost of Farm Ijabor
Farm labor is more expensive to
day than ever; in spite of this it is
less reliable and possibly also less
competent. The labor problem 1b al
ready causing considerable anxiety,
but what of the near future? The
great world war will bring about big
changes not only In Europe, but also
In this country, and the farmer is not
likely to escape their effects. In the
first place, millions of able-bodied
men will have been killed when
peace is finally restored and other
millions will be physically unable to
do the work they did before the war.
On the other hand, when the war is
over there will be an unusually
strong demand for labor in Europe,
Untold damages will have to be re-

paired, not in five or ten years hence,
but at once. This extraordinary de
mand for labor in Europe will un
questionably prevent emigration to
this country and bring about a labor
scarcity here. The great bulk of the
foreign labor that comes to this coun
try is unskilled and. for a time at
least, remains unskilled; and since
the labor that drifts to the farms Is
also unskilled, there can be little
doubt but that the wages of farm
hands will advance. Farmer snd

Get Seed for Our Next Year's Crop.
y PROP. P. Q. HOLDEN, Director
Agricultural Department Interna
tlonal Harvester Co. of New Jersey.
A good sized car is essential to a
good yield. It Indicates that the ear
comes from a strong, vigorous, healthy
stalk and that ln turn It will produce
talks and ears having a strong con
stitutlon and hardiness. No one would
think of selecting for seed small.
weak, puny-looking ears. Corn has
been bred for the grain or ear until
the proportion of corn to stalk is ab
normally high and consequently the
tendency Is for tte ear to become
smaller unless we select larger ears
than we expect in the average of the
erop.
Select Medium Sized Ears.
On the other hand, the greater dan
ger lies In selecting too large ears
and too large types of corn, and this is
especially true of the northern half of
the corn belt. For every dollar lost
by growing corn that Is too small or
too early there are ten to twenty dol
lars lost from growing corn that Is too
large and too late in maturing. If the
season Is late and cold, or the frosts
come too early, or If the seed is plant
ed lated in the spring, the grower has
a lot of soft, chaffy, moldy, light corn
In addition to this it is very difficult
to secure good seed from such corn
for next year's crop. It Is certain to
be more or less frozen, moldy and
weak, and to result In a poor stand
and a poor crop Large, sappy, im
mature ears fill the wagon-box rapidly.
and we deceive ourselves into think
ing that we are getting a large yield.
Corn of this kind often contains from
85 to 45 per cent of water. When the
corn dries it Is loose on the cob, chaffy
and Ught The little cells in the ker
nels are only partially filled with food
and are dull and chalky, or starchy.
Instead ot bright. . hard, heavy and.
rich in appearance.
The corn, is apt to spoil, especially
In the bottom of the crib, 1. e., burns
out, and it is unpalatable to stock. The
grower of such corn is required to sell
at a greatly reduced price, .What we
want Is corn that will be safe every
year. Remember that two small ears
weighing but ten ounces each, to each
hill will make 64 bushelB per acre, or
double the average yield. Three of
them will give nearly 100 bushels per
ere. - , i
This Indicates full maturity, good
quality, feeding value and yield.
- Large ears will generally have larg
er and deeper kernels. Short, bunchy
ears are certain to have deeper ker
nels than long, slim ears. As a con
sequence the planter cannot be ad
lusted to give a uniform drop.
If we have large and small ears.
bunchy and slim ears, deep kerneled
and shallow kerneled ears we shall
not only have unevenness in size and

some late, and some having high ears
and some low.

YIELD.
One small eight-ounce ear of
com added to each hill will
double the yield and value of
the crop and add $1,700,000,000
to Its total value.
CORN GROWERS' RULES.
1. Pick seed corn before October
1st, saving at least twice as much as
will be needed.
2. Select only ears that will ripen
and that are of good quality.
3. Select from strong, vigorous
stalks, ears thst bend over st medium
height on medium length shanks.
4. Hang seed corn in a dry, well
ventilated place, so that the ears do
not touch.
5. 8elect seed corn from your own
field.
6. If you must buy seed corn, buy
In your own locality.
7. In the spring, select the best
ears and test each ear.
8. 8elect 100 of the choicest of
these ears and plant In a separate
plot to select from next year.
