CUSEY TELLS OF REBATES
Tramc Manager of Chicago Packing
House on stand in Alton
Case.

CHICAGO. July 3.-B. S. Cusey, traffic
manager for the packing concern Of
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, was the first
witness called today in the hearing of
charges of rebating made against the Chi
cago & Alton railroad and John n. Faith
orn and Fred A Wann, former officials of
that company. He said that whenever an
employe of the packing house purchased
ticket from the Chicago & Alton road
he would be given receipt for the money
paid and that he went to Fred A. Wann,
then connected with the road. and de-
manded that a settlement be made for
$4,000 Of the ticket receipts. Wann re-
fused to pay the receipts and he then ex-
planned to Wann that other lines had is
sued transportation to other Industrial
/ companies which sent freight to them.
The claims, the witness said, covered
fares of inspectors, mechanics, superin-
tendents and the fares of men returning
from accompanying shipments of cattle.
The claims covered by the receipts, he
said, were later paid by Wann.
During the questioning Of Cusey the
court held that no evidence could be ad-
mitted which tended to show that the
Alton railroad had Disseminated in favor
of schwarLschild & Sulzberger in hand
| ling freight.
: After Cusey left the stand the govern
ment said that It had no more testimony
! to offer and the attorneys for the defense
! declered that they had no evidence TO in
| troduce. They made a motion that the
| court direct the jury to return a verdict
| of not guilty and arguments followed.
/ The attorneys for the defendants claimed
| that the payment of claims by the railroad
/ was made under pressure and that the
/ packing company could legally enforce
| them in court. In the matter of the pay
ment of 81 on each car Of meat shipped by
! the packing company it was claimed that
this was legitimate because the packing
! company owned the tracks near it's plant
and charged that amount up against any
company using those tracks to ship pack
/ ing products.
The legal arguments continued through
: out the afternoon and before they were
finished court adjourned until Thursday

time the fire started. The flames communi-

for all summer, yielding nothing in
return.
Second: Because there are many
thousands of stalks in our fields that
are barren, producing no ears, and
then there are many thousands OF
other stalks producing only small,
inferior ears, yet they must receive
the same care as the productive
ones.
After having studied thousands Of
corn fields throughout the corn belt
turing the last nine years, l have no
hesitancy in saying that "poor
AMI" d "w.ak and barren stalks
are responsible more than anything
else for the low average yield in the
Central West. The ground may be
rich, the preparation good, and the
corn receive the best of cultivation,
but if the stand is poor and the
stalks weak and sickly the yield will
be correspondingly poor.
COUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF FIELDS
Careful counts eff the number of
stalks per hill have been made dur
ing the last three years in thousands
of different corn fields, and 1t is safe
to say that there were not to exceed
sixty-slx per cent. of perfect stand
on an average, and in many cases it
fell as low as forty per cent. This
means that Iowa alone devoted nine
million acres to corn and produced
only a six millionaire crop, or, to
put it another way, with a perfect
stand the present average yield of
thirty-two bushels for the past ten
years would be increa sed to fifty
bushels per acre, or an increase to
the state of one hundred and fifty
three million bushels. This does
not take into consideration the in
creased yield made possible through
the use of improved varieties, better
bred seed, elimination of barren
s'alks, by means of breeding, better
neteods of cultivation, etc.
