SPECIAL MESSAGE
On Freight Rates By the Cover
nor of Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis. April Ex-Governor La
Toilette sent a special message to the
legislature today upon the freight COM
mission bill 1t is the most exhaustive
treatise upon the subject of railroad
freight charges ever complied, COM
prising 128 pages, and is intended to re-
fute the statements and arguments that
were made by railroad men and agents
before the general assembly committee.
The message says:
IF the legislatures of Illinois or Iowa
have given to the people of those states
laws which enable them to secure
rates lower than the Wisconsin rates for
like services, then the people of Wis
consin are W-Onged and it is the duty
Of the legislature to remedy that wrong.
These conditions furnish the strongest
comparison Of transportation charges in
and between Wisconsin, Iowa and Hi
NOS.
"A comparison of rates on cattle t.,
Chicago and Milwaukee from points in
Wisconsin. distances in both cases be-
ing about the same, shows Milwaukee to
pay an excess of 25.9 per cent A COM
parisOn of rates on grain from points in
Wisconsin to Milwaukee with rates
from points in Iowa to the Mississippi
river, distances being similar. shows the
percentage of excess for Wisconsin:
Wheat, 17-S; coarse grains, 342
The average rate for ten classes of
general merchandise in comparison
of rates prevailing in Iowa and Wis
consin shows WisconSin's rate to be
1856 cents per 100 pounds as against
14.10 for Iowa, or an excess for Wis
consin of 1924
Figured on what is known as the
tOn-lnile basis, the average rate on gem
eral merchandise is 1921 cents for Wis
4 consin and 21.62 cents per ton mile for
Iowa, showing an excess or overcharge
/ for Wisconsin amounting to 35-1 peg
cent
For agricultural implements there are
I IA comparisons and the average for
these shows that the rates in Wiscon-
sin We're 6.39 per cent higher than in
Iowa A table is presented comparing
the rates to Chicago ON wheat, flour,
etc, and on barley, corn, oats, rye, etc,
from % points in Wisconsin. with. the
rates from an equal number of ship
ping points in Illinois. the distances be-
ing the same in both cases.
The discrimination against the Wis
consin shipper in this case amounts tc
227 per cent.
Various other rate tables on different
commodities show similar comparisons

A PULL ALL TOGETHER
Is Recommended by Good Roads
Convention at st. Louis.

St. Louis. April 29-At the last days
session of the National and Internation-
al Good Roads convention, 7. C. Harper
of Burlington Ia, chairman OF the cosa-
mittee on resolutions presented the re-
port to the committee, which was
adopted. The resolutions declare:
First-That the building of good roads
in the United States is now of para
mount Importance to national prosperity
and commercial supremacy.
Second-That we recommend the hsar-
monious cooperation of the township,
county. state and national governments
in the furtherance Of this great end.
Third-That the association believes
that the appropriations heretofore made
for the building of railroads canals and
the improvement Of rivers and harbors
has been wise and beneficent, but an
appropriation for the improvement of
our common highways has now become
necessary to extend the blessings of in
telligence and to promote a high order
of citizenship among all classes of peo-
pie and to meet the ever growing neces-
stiles of the agricultural interests.
Fourth-That we recommend the
establishment throughout the United
States of q complete and perfect organ
ization from the nation down to the
township, which organizations shall
overlap each other and make a complete
national association.

The removal of the Topeka Industrial
institute from its present location in
South Topeka to a farm a short dis

sible by recent gifts of money of SUI
fcient amount to place the school, on
substantial basis Tor the future. There
is still required a thousand dollars in
cash which the mana cement of the in

While the securing of this amount
will not relieve the institute entirely
from the struggle it has always had for
its maintenance it will place it in a way
to do a much larger and more effective

Kansas Farmers Now Fear the Hes

sian Fly.
About the only fear the farmers have
concerning the wheat crop now is that
the Hessian fly may affect it, The Hes
sian fly has never really seriously in
jured Kansas wheat but it has become
great pest in some states further east,
and its presence is reported in a great
many Kansas counties. 1t is not prob
able that the fly VIII greatly Injure
Kansas this year, but it would be a
good thing for the farmers to De on their
guard against it and to do everything
possible for its extermina ton. An en-
tomologist of the United states depart
ment of agriculture gives the following
information concerning the pest.
The Hessian fly belongs to the same
group in the insect world as the mos
quito. IT flies about in September just
as the fall crop is coming up, and lays
its eggs. Although its average life time
in the adult winged stage seems to be
only about five days for the females,
and good deal less for the males. the
power of the former for laying eggs IS
prodigious- one industrious female will
lay no fewer than $50 eggs on six dis
tlnct plants while another may lay
eighty or more on a single leaf
The only way in which the presence
OF the pest is recognized is by It's char
acteristic breaking down of the wheat
after the plant has grown to some con-
siderable height. In feeding upon it.,

or reed of the plant at its base, which
causes il to break and die During the
late fall the Hessian fly deposits its eggs
upon the stubble wheat. on grasses and
upon TIE ground. The larvae having

sections lies until the middle Of April
or the first of May when it matches the
spring brood. 1t is this spring brood
that plays havoc with the spring wheat.
as they mature very soon after hatch

stalk, and by the time the winter wheat
is reaching maturity they have trans

THE Hessian fly presents variations

the latitude. but by retardation under

1T has long been known that this

weather favors it, Moisture favors the
