RAILROADS
GRAIN RATES PROBLEM
RAILROAD OFFICIALS A RE
WRESTLING WITH THE CUES
TON AT. CHICAGO TODAY.
New York Sun Special Service,

Chicago, March l4.-Executive Off
GERS of lines from Iowa to Chicago and
Minneapolis are wrestling today with
problem in grain rates. When the
presidents recently met and settled the
rate war from Missouri river points
they did not go into the question of
rates on grain from points east Of the
Missouri river. Last week the general
freight agents Of the roads met, but
failed to reach an agreement on grain
rates from Iowa. -,
Before the war the rates on grain
from points in northwestern Iowa were
about S cents higher on local and 3
cents higher on thru shipments to Chi
cago than to Minneapolis. The Chicago
Board of Trade and traffic officials of
the direct lines to Chicago always con
tended that the rates from Iowa to Chi
cago were too high in comparison with
the rates to Minneapolis. During the
war the basis of thru rates was changed
from the Mississippi river to Chicago,
and the effect of this was to slightly
decrease the advantage of Chicago over
Minneapolis in rates Of grain.
The railroad men declare that it is
really fight between Chicago and Min
neapolis for grain trade, rather than
between the railroads for. traffic.

FOR HEAVY SHIPPING
Ore Carrying Roads Undergoing Double.
Tracking Improvements.

Special to The Journal.
Eveleth, Mimi, March 14.-The plans
of the United States Steel corporation
for double track system on both their
ore:carrying lines between the Mesaba
and Vermilion ranges and the ports Of
Duluth and Two Harbors will undoubt-
eddy be. accomplished inside of twelve
double tracks exist from Vermilion to
Two Harbors. The same will be true
of the Mesaba range branch with the
exception of six miles between Sum.
NIT and Colby, when track now being
laid between Colby and. Wyman is com.
plete. It is over the portion now being
built that the ore of the Stephens mine
will be sent. At Eveleth the Iron
Range has nearly completed commo
dious yard which involved cut thru
an old dump Of the ,Fayal mine and
to the passenger depot, and to the
Misabe yards. The last named connec
ton is to facilitate shipping Of the
total ore production of the Adams
Spruce mine over the Iron Range.
New mines are being added and ole
ones are to ship more heavily. It is
only necessary to 60 over the Missabt
road to be convinced of the expanding
volume of the ore business. There il
to be double track between Mitchell
and Scott, eight miles: An eight mile
cutoff between Scott and Shaw is near
ly finished. Grading for double tract
is being done between Payne and Al
born, eight and one-half miles. A ff
teen mile stretch between Burnett ant
Carson is being made ready for doubl
track, while double track already ex
lists below Carson as far as the. docks
Much steel was distributed along tn
road last spring but the general depres
sion in the ore trade was sufficient t.
prevent further prosecution of the wor]
at that time. ;"

bushels an acre in favor of No. "a, the
yield being So bushels, against 1876
bushels for No. 10.
In five years the No. "a being planted
consecutively without particular selec-
ton, has run down to 1919 bushels. The
No. 10 by process of selection has in
creased to $40 bushels, the gain being
Is bushels an acre over first results, and
1863 bushels as the result of the inverse
ratio between the decreasing yield of
the neglected variety and the increase
| in that carefully selected each season.
Such illustrations as this strike the
| farmer hard, and open up new field
of thought. He begins to see that he
can do wonders by giving greater atten-
! tion to seed. j. E. Neville.
