Klein of the Field Crops De partment of the University Farm spent tl day? inspecting Kanred wheat, Hurt Oats and Nebraska Number 21 Oats. Thirty-five fields of Kanred wheat was Inspected a total of 1200 acics. This will give Webster County ovei 15,000 bushels of certified Kan red wheat. Webster County has 1G0 farmers uiisirg over 8,000 acres of Kanred wheat. Webster County's wheat uvcr pge ib C0,000 acres. This will mean that every acre of what can be plant ed to Kanred and wo will still have a surplus of over 20,000 bushels. Kanred wheat is looking fine, will be good quality and several fields were inspected that will yield around 40 bushels per acre. Kanred will out-yield turkey red and in most instances the straw is taller and the heads aro filled better WHEAT INSPECTION TOURS The- wheat inspection tours were hold the fore part of the week as per schedule. Farmers were very busy gcttir.g ready for harvest and plow ing com. Those that took part were very much interested and all thought they were well paid for laying aside their work and attending the tour. Smut treating demonstrations were given, showing the dry method of tienting grain for smut. Field of wheat where Kanred was growing alongside of the Turkey Red were visited and in each case the Kanred wheat looked the best. Fields where part was treated for smut alongside of wheat not treated showed that it payed to treat for smut. One farmer where wheat con tained 10 per cent of smut, this seed wn" treated and planted back on the same field and no signs of m smut could be found. Fields of wheat on summer fol lowing; showed that it would pay big this year. Uno Held where three vari eties of oats wore grown was visit ed and after threshing one will know the results. HENRY R.

No. 5 Increasing limit federal land mortgages from $10,000 to ?25,- "Thcrc never was a time when the principle of n multiple or hypothetical valuation of railroad right of ways find terminal facilities has been so thoroughly disproven as at present," declared Gray Silver today in testi fying before the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce on a bill which provides for an amend ment to the railroad valuation act. The bill would db away with the method of valuing right of ways and terminal facilities in excess of their present valuation by tho application of a multiple based upon a previous ratio between. the adjoining land val ues and those ascribed to tho right of ways. "The farmers' position In regard to the railways is unique," continued Mr. Silver. "Most of his product is hauled over them, and for practically every thing ho buys, he pays the freight. His product is not sold f. o. b. factory but at prices delivered. This means he pays tho freight. Right now his products aro bringing 27.8 per cent below the ten year average and he pays v freight charge 101 per cent grcatci than on Juno 1, 1918. And we must not forget that these addi tional freight charges come out of the products which he sells at 27.8 per cent below the ten year average. The lcsult has been, as many of tho committee must know, that in many places throughout the country where farms aro located some distance from market the products have been left to rot In many instances farm pro ducts have not sold at destination for enough to pay for the freight and farmers actually have received bills for freight instead of returns on their labor. Examples of those losses are I'lmost too numerous to mention. In the fni west much of tho fruit rotted on the ground. Farmers labeled their product "Too Cheap to Steal. Help Yourself." The produce shippers from the Pacific cost, tho Gulf states and the Southeast have suffered un told losses from high freight rates. In the West bulky and heavy com modities have been left in the fields or storage houses. Thousands of tons of hay in the west cannot be moved by rail for the rates exceed its value if carried to market. "Tho Valuation Act as it now stands, we believe, will not relieve the situation, but will aggravate it and in short, that is why farmers pro test earnestly against it and wish to see the bill under consideration pass ed. They do not consider this bill a panacea for the present ills of trans portation and agriculture, but they do not wish to seo the situation bceome more complex. "The farmers are willing to pay their share, and it is a big one, on a fair valuation of railroad property, but not upon values which are crea ted bv fiat of law. Wc realize also that rates based upon such a basis would be unjust impositions. "Wo do not believe that Congress in passing tho law had in mind the addition of a multiple valuation in addition to or in excess of tho pres ent value which is purely a gift to the railroads by Congressional man date. Tho question of replacing tho right of way, as far as tho land is concerned, is not involved in "tho val uation, for the right of ways arc not to be reconstructed or laid out again. Most of them have been in existence for yenrs and therefore tho recon struction theory falls of its own weight." Nebraska' Farm Bureau Review.
