FEELS HURT OVER
2-GENT Law.
Pennsylvania. RAILROAD SAYS
SUCH A LAW is coNFls-
cAToRY.

PHILADELPHIA, Jlly 15.-John G.
Johnson, chief counsel for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, in the suit
brought by the company to test the
consitutlonality of the 2 cent rate
bill in court scored the law and pre-
scented the railroads side Of the case.
His contentious were based on four
grounds.
First, that the new law is confsca-
tory legislation and therefore in yio-
lation of the constitution of the United
States; second, that it infrInges on
the charter rights of the company, and
for that reason is in violation of the
constitution; third, that it affected
other corporations existing prior to
the Act Of 1874, whose charters were
not receivable, and fourth, even If they
were subject to alteration, amendment
or revocation, the same must be only
in cases where the corporation Is
found to be injurious to the citizens
OF the Commonwealth and that the
charters cannot be revoked where IN.
Justice is done to the incorporators.
After this Grief summary Of the
points which he elaborated Lawyer
Johnson declared should the new 2
cent rate go into effect the company
would suffer great losses and its bust.
ness will be placed in a precarious con-
dition, so far as the passenger traffic
in the State is concerned.
He argued that confscatory rates as
to passenger business cannot be justl.
fed by the contention that whatever
losses are thus incurred can be more
than overcome by the large profits in
the freight business. The United
States Court had rendered a decision
to that effect, and Mr.. Johnson said,
that while a railroad might make 8
per cent, on its invested capital in
the passenger business and per cent.
on its freight, it would be an Inconstl-
tutional act for the legislature to en-.
act any law that confscated the 8 per
cent. profits because of the larger
earnings in the freight business.
Mr.. Johnson said 1t would be ruin
GUS to the company If the case was
not decided before October 1. the time
fixed for the new rate law to become
effective. The company would b sub.
jected to fines amounting to over ST.
900 ,O0O,00O per month II 1t violated
the new rate law by continuing with
Its present rates of fares. He said he
proposed appealing to the sense OF
justice of the Supreme Court in asking
that tribunal make every effort to hear
and decide the question before the
time set for the operation of the 2
cent law.
Attorney General Todd confined his
argument principally to the right of
the legislature to regulate the rate Of
fare to be charged by the railroad COM
pany, or otherwise. add to, alter or
amend its charter, and he cited case
after case in which this right had
been affirmed by the Supreme Court of
the United States.

Imnnrtanee Of Uniformity.

The fact that the eastern fruit grow
ers and truck growers are not as well
organized as are the western and more
distant producers is very largely due to
the fact that they have the advantage
OF lower express rates and that the
merchants will handle their goods In
small conslgnments. By this method
of small Individual shipments the prod
uct upon the market Is less uniform In
character both as regards grade and
method and type of package than Is the
case when the product is marketed
through the exchange and in carload
lots. In order to handle CARLOAD ship
ments successfully vegetables must be
uniform In character and size and the
product well graded. These are ad-
vantages which have been learned by
distant shippers and which have In a
great measure been forced upon them
By the necessity OF shipping in carload
lots.-Professor L. C. Corbett.

The seed used in growing my fields
Of seed corn was secured originally In
1904 from Mr.. Reid of Illinois and was
called the Reds Yellow Dent variety,
writes a Connecticut man in New Eng
land Homestead. At that time l Sc
cured dozen select ears Of the variety
for the purpose Of breeding dent corn
adapted for New England conditions
by seed selection. With this idea In
view. I planted small field with this
highly selected seed In 1905. from
which the earliest and best ears were
saved for planting the fields In which
my experiments were located in 1905
Land In Poor Condition.
The land used for my fields was in
rather poor condition, being naturally
wet. The land was plowed in the
spring and thoroughly narrowed. The
seed was planted May II, 1906, with a
one horse corn planter. dropping four
kernels three feet apart; also about
5000 pounds Of fish and potash fer
tlllzer to the acre. 1t was soon up.
and had nice even stand. I Imme-
diately went over 1t with a weeder.
Then every week until 1t filed the rows
1t was cultivated, being boed only once.
Tagging Stalks and Ears.
Before cutting, all stalks Of even
height and all well formed ears sltuat-
ed well down on the stalk were tagged.
The average height Of the corn was
about eleven feet. 1t was cut and
stocked with about thlrty.slx to forty
two hills In shock. When cutting the
tagged stalks were left standing and
afterward cut and put In separate
stocks. After the stalks aud corn were
thoroughly dry 1t was husked md put
into cribs, the yield being 122 bushels
to the acre. saved many Of the best
and well developed ears for seed selec-
ton. The remainder Of the selected
ears were sold for seed. Financially
this corn can be grown successfully BY
New England farmers.
