Thursday was a record breaker for

106, while the thermometer on the hill
nearby where the weather bureau station

seemed little improved. The ex.

Better Wheat" Campaign In Okla
homa Means Millions To
Farmers.

The enthusiastic reception accord
ed the Better Wheat" train which Is
being operated in Oklahoma by the
Rock Island Lines Agricultural Com
missioner. Professor II. M. Cottrell,
In conjunction with the Oklahoma
Agricultural College marks an epoch
in modern agriculture.
At each station large crowds await
the coming of the train with samples
Of seed wheat to be tested by the ex-
perts.
Lectures are given by Prof. Cottrell
and a corps of able experts on every
phase of wheat growing. At some
points more than q thousand people
were in attendance pledging the plant
ing of pure wheat.
The use Of mixed seed last year re-
suited in a loss OF more than $1,000
900 in Oklahoma.
Boards Of trade, grain dealers, bank
ers, merchants, in fact every interest
has co-operated to avoid repetition
OF this condition and the estimate that
the campaign will have the direct re-
suit of adding several millions to the
value Of next years wheat crop In
Oklahoma, Is conservative.
Professor Cottrell announces some
what similar campaigns with refer
ence to other crops and sections for
the future, and this Better Wheat"
plan has served as q stimulus for the
sort Of widespread cooperation that
means far-reaching benefits.

WITNESS TELLS HOW STOCK
PRICES WERE INFLATED
Controller For Illinois Central Rail-
road Explains System At Inquiry
Into Rates.

CHICAGO, Sept 2O.--Stock infia-
ton and manipulation, designed to
turn over to stockholders large sums
OF money without putting in the COM
pany's record any evidence OF more
than passing fair dividends, was the
subject delved into yesterday by the
interstate commerce commission at
the continuation of its hearing follow
ing the suspension Of the general ad-
vance of freight rates of western lines.
which had been scheduled TO take ef-
feet Sept. /.
The stock manipulation feature Of
the inquiry. which aims to bring out
what grounds the railroads have for
asking the increase, was suggested by
Commissioner Judson c. Clements.
Controller NJ. p. Blauvelt, of the ILL
nois Central railroad. was the witness
from whom the startling disclosures
which followed were obtained.
Mr.. Clements called the witness at
tention to figures he had furnished on
direct examination by the railroads
counsel. W. II. Horton. The commits
sioner said:
You say, Mr.. Blauvelt, that in 1891
your capital stock was $40,000,000 on
2,S75 miles of road, and in 1910, on
only about LOO miles more, 1t was
y1O9 100000. Also. that In 1891 the
bonded Indebtedness was only $62,-
600 900. while In 1910 1t had reached
y176 100000. Why is this?"
Well" was the answer, what
would appear to be the excess went
to improve the roadway, and to equip
ment and purchase of other roads"
And how was the stock raised for
these purposes sold?" continued the
commissioner. Was II on the open
market?"
part OF II was. But most of Il was
sold TO the stockholders at par"
IF your stock sold at $50 in open
market" asked the attorney, land you
gave II TO your stockholders at 100.
what became of the extra so per cent
of its value?"
why, 1t went to the stakeholder. 2"
was the answer.
Then the upshot OF It was your
company added to its capital stock
by letting stock go at par, when II
needed money, when II could have
sold less stock on the open market.
satisfied its need and kept the capital
stock down, giving less capital to fig
ure dividends upon; isn't that so?"
was the next query.
Mr.. Blauvelt was unwilling such an
impression should prevail, he said, and
he explained by saying
Suppose we dumped $4,000 900 in
stock on the market at once; II would
send its value way below par I con-
slider II good business policy to sell
where we were sure IL would bring
par, and keep control OF the road
where II was"
