WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-Senator Elkins,

the senate today in support of the COM
mittee's adverse decision on the Fulton
bill, which would authorize a suspension
by the Int state Commerce commission Of
a proposed change Of rates by a railroad
upon protest from a shipper.
The report says:
The comforting upon the commission the
power to suspend a rate advanced either
upon the filing of a protest by a shipper
or in the discretion of the commission,
taken in connection with the provision
of the statute which gives TO the commits
sion the power to fix a rate and to desig-
nate the time. not longer than two years,
that IL should remain in force, would ulti-
mately turn over to that administrative
body the function of initiating the rates
of the entire country. 1t would offer a
premium to every shipper to enter a pro-
test TO the advance of rates. whether they
were reasonable OF unreasonable even II
discretion was vested in the commission.
If a protest, prepared by skilled attor-
news. presents a prims facie case OF un-
reasonable advance of the rate and OFFERS
no opportunity for an Investigation before
il must be acted upon, an official body on
which was imposed the responsibility to
act would be constrained TO suspend the
rate until a final determination of the
camn1afnf

Good Roads.

There were some features of the
Governors speech on good roads at
Baton Rouge that met with public
notably the following re-
marks:
Enough money has been spent on
public roads in Louisiana during the
past twenty years to build permanent
highways from one end of the State
to the other, and yet no roads, despite
honest spending.
| would rather see the Board of
Control sell every piece of farm land
it has, save one, keep it as a receiv-
ing station and put all the able-bodied
convicts in Louisiana on the plan here
outlined. If this is done, then we can
expect to see Louisiana put upon a
permanently lasting basis. 1t is the
purpose of the Board of Control to
sell some of the farms it has, not to
buy any more, thus enabling US to use
the entire bodied convict force of
the State m the carrying out the
good roads scheme.
The ultimate desire of we who have
taken this matter up is to connect
every county seat in the State with
every other county seat by macadam
road. Road-building, as a national
question in the United States, is al
most in it's infancy. | believe that
perfect system will be developed
whereby the nation, the State and the
county will each construct and main
tain its own roads. A broad and COM
prehensive good roads project should
be inaugurated by the government,
| and it should be some such scheme as
this. ...

colored rag string may be tied to the
ear to call attention to it in the gen
eral gathering, when it can be thrown
into special receptacle provided for
the purpose in the wagon. Some pre-
fer to gather these ears in advance OF
the general crop. The quantity to be
selected should be sufficient to allow
liberal culIing when grading the ears
after the shuck has been removed.
Rules governing the selection OF
choice ears are practically the same
as selecting ears for exhibition pur-
poses.
The factors thus far considered are
apparent on examination of ears and
stalk. A most important feature is
the ability of the ear to give large
yields the following year.
Methods of determining the pro-
ducing power of different ears is much
simpler and easier than most corn
growers think it to be, and the pro-
ducing power much more variable
than they can realize without a de-
monstration. Various experiment sta
tions have shown that there may be
difference of more than a hundred
per cent in the yields secured from
ears of similar characters graded on
the score card.
