SEED INSPECTION
P. D. 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.

"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.
