(Sonl) ' - s ' LOWER FREIGHT RATES The center of production as far as agricultural products are concerned is somewhere in the Mississippi valley while the center of consumption is in the populous areas of tho cast, many hundreds of miles away from tho cen ter of production. Ocean rates from competing countries where land is cheap and farming is done with peon labor arc so much lower to the con suming centers than are the exhor bitant and increasing freight rates from our own farms to the consum ers, that the agricultural welfare of the middle west is seriously menaced. The American Farm Bureau feder ation in its legislative program re cently adopted, therefore, believes that the carrier charges for farm products in this country should be at least be placed on a competitive basis with the products from foreign countries. This can only be done with lower freight rates. The Transportation act of 1920 con tained a provision which attempts to compel the Interstate Commerce Com mission to make rates sufficient to produce a minimum net return of 5 per cent or more above all expenses, and taxes on tho present value of American railroads. The Farm Bu reau believes this .provision is pater nalistic class legislation as it at-J tempts to make government guaranty, on the cost plus basis. This provision has caused tho Commission to estab lish excessive increases in rates which have served to paralyze American in dustry. A time has come when other lines of business are reducing their charges. Tho Farm Bureau, therefore, has pe titioned Congress to repeal immedi ately the guaranty provision in See tion 15 A of the Transportation Act and to instruct the Commission to make a readjustment of railroad rates back to pre-war basis in har mony with other business. Agriculture asks nor demands, any special favors in the reduction of carrier charges and will tolerate no unfair discrimination against it for tho benefit of other branches of in dustry. Tho farmers of Nebraska would raise no objection to paying .30 cents in freight for n bushel of S1.50 or $1.75 com but they raise n rigid protest to paying 30 cents in freight for a 35 or 40 cent bushel of corn to have it sent to the consuming cen ters, especially when this corn cost in tho neighborhood of $1 a bushel. In making this official protest to tho Congress of the United States the farmers of the middle west further realize tho need for complete organ ization. Nebraska Farm Bureau Re- Farm Bureau Notes IIOLSTEIN BREEDERS MEET Tho Ilolstein Breeders held their ;ocond meeting Saturday. JohnLuith ly from the Dairy Department of Lincoln was present and gave a talk on cheese making. Ho explained fully the amount of equipment neces sary for tho manufacturing of cheese, the making of tho different kinds of cheese, etc. There is a possibility of starting n cheese or ico cream fac tory or possibly both in this county, in that way the farmers can dispose of their surplus milk and sweet cream to a better advantage. For the first time in the history of the milk industry, there is an over sup ply of milk and farmers are at a loss to know what to do with their milk products.
