Relative Value of Wheat and Oats.

Relative Value OF wheat and Oats
Regarding the relative value Of wheat
and oats much depends on the soil and
conditions. The production Of stray
taxes the land, though straw is given
but little value as a portion of the
crop. Estimating yield Of twenty
bushels Of wheat and forty bushels of
oats per acre, the experiment stations
have shown that there will be about
PIT pounds of wheat straw to 100
pounds of grain and 1884 pounds of
straw to 100 pounds Of grain in oats.
According to such estimates wheat
would remove from the land 1900
pounds Of grain and 1904 pounds Of
straw, while oats would remove 1880
pounds Of grain and 1,643115 pounds Of
straw per acre. With wheat there
would consequently be removed from
the soil in the grain for each ton 1871
pounds phosphoric acid, 8.8 Of potash
and 342 pounds of nitrogen, the straw
removing 2 pounds phosphoric acid,
1915 Of potash and 9.5 of nitrogen.
With oats ton Of 1900 pounds would
remove, in the grain, 11.9 pounds of
phosphoric acid, 9.8 Of potash and 80
of nitrogen, the straw removing LIZ
pounds of phosphoric acid, q Of potash
and 7.6 of nitrogen. Wheat thus car
ries off the more phosphoric acid and
more nitrogen, while oats carries off
more potash.

TRAFFIC VERY HEAVY
THE LOADED CAR MOVEMENT EX-
CEEDING ALL FORMER RECORDS.
Big Four Shows Increased Earnings
An Anfi-Scalping Bill Introduced
in the Ohio Legislature.

Chicago roads had a record breaker in the
week ending March u. and Indianapolis
lines have theirs in the week ending March
10, receiving and forwarding at this point
last week 30s62 cars, 22,791 being loaded,
exceeding by nearly 1000 cars all previous
loaded car movement in the twenty-six
years the weekly statistical table has been
published. The Pennsylvania, the Van
dalia, the Big Four lines and the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton e. Dayton all contribute to
this heavy business. The Panhandle line
handled at this point 2,160 loaded cars, and
the evenness in the movement of freights
east ard west is shown in the fact that the
Panhandle brought in 1916 and forwarded
1854 loaded cars. The Bee-line division of
the Big Four had one of the best weeks
since the consolidation was effected, and
the St. Louis division is doing more bust
ness. During last week an average of 1928
loaded cars were handled daily on the Big
Four lines. Shipments of grain to the sea-
board are again very heavy, and in dressed
meats and live stock there was a heavy
movement eastward, but the most notable
improvement is in west-bound business. 1t
Is stated by freight officials that they have
never known the tonnage of the higher
class freights moving westward to be SO
heavy in a spring month as at present, a
considerable per cent of the business be-
ing for Southwestern, Western and trans
continental line points There is a daily
increase in tonnage of the lower class
freights-gass, nails, iron structural work,
railway supplies and heavy groceries.
North-and-south roads are doing the best
business in years In addition to the ship
ments of Southern lumber northward the
shipments of Southern produce have set
in earlier than usual, and already form an
important item. In miscellaneous freights
there is large movement, including ice,
Bedford stone cement, agricultural and
harvest implements Locally business is
reaching it's maximum, the stock yards, the
manufacturers of cerealine products and the
packing houses contributing their full share
to the highly satisfactory business, but the
Improvement is most remarkable with the
iron industries and the furniture manu-
factories. The iron industries are loading
five cars where they were loading but one
in March last year, and the Big Four, the
Panhandle and c., II. & D. find it i'm
possible to furnish cars enough for the
furniture men, the Big -Four in the last Few
days loading In it's lines fully 300 cars with
furniture, and could have loaded double that
number were the cars to be had. whole
sale merchants and commission men are
again large shippers, and were the country
roads settled it is believed local business
would be % per cent. heavier than 1T is.
Below is given the car movement for the
week ending March 10 and for the CORE

A Boston newspaper of recent date pub
fishes an article from the London Times on
American railways in which the writer
says: IF one desires access to a railway
library, one cannot find such thing in Lon
don, nor indeed in England, but the Leland
Stanford University. in far California, pub
lisnes catalogue of its special railway Ii
brary in a portly quarto." The inference
from this is that there is no railway library
in America, except in the Leland Stanford
University. The Engishman should have
his attention called to the fact that the
Investors Agency, Nj. l.. Scudder, proprie-
tor, 80 Liberty street, New York, has a rail
way library open to the public, which is as
extensive as that of the Leland Stanford
notably in its collection of recent railway
publication and It's scrapbooks of newspaper
clippings, is superior. A number of railway
officials have large Libraries full of informa-
ton concerning the railways of this and
other countries. The late H. B. Hammond
was credited with having the largest library
treating on railroad matters in this or any
other country, and was very proud of hav-
ing railroadmen visit his rooms and note
the extent of it's contents, running, up to
several hundred volumes, most of them
very handsomely. bound.

ROUTINE OF PENSION OFFICE.
How the Government Clerks Put in
Their Time.

G. C. Kniffin, in the Independent.
What occupies the time of officials and
clerks? An application for pension Is doc
ument which requires careful consideration
from the date of fling until Its final adj
Indication 1t Is subjected to the most rigid
scrutiny to see that the attorney who files
il is entitled to practice before the bureau,
that the magistrate whose Jurat is attached
has a certificate as such on lille, that the
two are not Identical, that the claimant
has two attesting witnesses, and If either
of these conditions is lacking the defects
must be remedied by correspondence. The
application must be recorded, Jdcketed ana

having been received the claimant or his
attorney is called upon for evidence TO sub

all the evidence has been furnished in re-
sponse to the calls of the bureau the claim,
with all the testimony attached, is sub

Indication. Here the evidence Is weighed
from legal standpoint, and If found to be
sufficient to entitle the claimant to pension

Of the medical examination many claims

accuracy in preparing claim for adjudi-

1t may we'll be imagined that there are
few idle clerks where such abundance OF
work awaits action. In a somewhat ex-

the habit of the clerks in the Pension

NEW YORK. March pa dispatch to
the World from Madrid says Captain
General Blanco, from Havana, has given
proof that he is as anxious for peace as the
Madrid Ministry. He cabled from Havana
advising the government to postpone the
departure of the Spanish flying squadron of
torpedo boats. He advised that it should
not, on any account proceed further
towards the United States than the Canary
islands The order to hold the fleet there
was not, however, sent wholly at General
Blancos request. The United States gov
eminent made no official representations on
the subject But Admiral Bermejo, the
minister of marine secretary of the navy,
wanted the torpedo hotilla held at the Ca
nary Islands until it could be joined by the
frst-class armored cruiser Infanta Maria
Theresa, sister ship to the Vizacaye, and
the Almirante Oquendo, because the tor
pedo vessels and destroyers started on
such short notice that they were not in full
war trim. They were not supplied with
adequate ammunition Holding the fleet
half way across the Atlantic until the big
cruiser OF Spain could join it with fresh
ammunition and act as escort and protector
was, therefore, probably the real reason.
Marshal Blanco complains that Madrid
lingo newspapers have hampered him In
parleying with the rebel chiefs.

NEWPORT. r. l., March 19.-Great activ-
ity is displayed at the torpedo station here,
due to an order from the Navy Department
to get in readiness for shipment shells for
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, and to fill
at once the war heads of all torpedoes on
the island and others that would be
shipped to the station daily until the out
fits for all cruisers and battle ships would
be completed
In addition to the torpedo outfits the men
at the torpedo station are working on a
death-dealing engine in the shape of a
buoyant mine, whose discharge is equal to
four service torpedoes, of sufficient power
to blow out of the water the largest battle
ship. AS soon as the rush torpedoes are
completed the whole force at the station
will be put upon the buoyant mines. The
entrances to Narragansett bay. both east
and west, have been plotted for mines
There has just arrived at Fort Adams for
this purpose three thousand pounds of
