AGRICULTURAL TRAINS.
Southern Railway Is heetirg With Success
In Its Work In Virginia.

Atlanta, Ga.-That the farmers. OF
the southeastern states are anxious
to take advantage of every opportuni
ty offering them Information tending
to bring about better methods vi
farming and more profitable agricui-
mre, such as the agricultural trains
. .4.ch it has become the policy of the
southern Railway company to run
over its lines in the various states
which it peneuates through its land
and industrial department connection
with state departments of agriculture
or agricultural colleges, is shown by
the interest displayed by farmers in
Piedmont, Virginia, over 1900 ol
-hom attended the meetings along
the route OF the train which recently
spent a week in that section. The
train was in charge of Hon. G. w.
hoiner, commissioner of agriculture
ior Virginia and bore a corps of ex-
perts who gave instructive lectures
on subjects of particular interest To
farmers of the various communities
visited. Ihe IraIn was OUT siA uayS
and sixteen meetings were held be-
tween Alexandria and Danville.
1t nearly every stop the two pas
senger coaches which were used as
lecture rooms were filled and at some
places 1t was necessary TO nod cut
side meetings to accommodate Ia
c.owds. Farmers Wives turned out
in large numbers and showed as muca
interest as the men.
Immediately after the tour OF the
train letters began coming to Com
missioner Koiner and the land and in
dustrial department OF the Southern
Hallway company, from farmers re-
duesting that information be sent
them.
Twelve months ago a similar train
was operated over the lines of the
Southern between Richmond and
Danville and Norfolk and Danville, at
which time large number OF farmers
attended the meetings held. A SIM
liar train wOs operated with success
over the Mobile and Ohio railroad, in
West Tennessee a few weeks ago un
der the auspices of the Southern
land and industrial department.

STUDYING MAIL PROBLEM.
Hitchcock Has Experts at Work In
Vestigating the Railroad Rates.

Washington, D. c. - Postmaster
General Hitchcock will spend the
greater part OF his summer vacation
figuring on a way to reduce the cost
of hauling the mails. In a few weeks
the postohice department will be able
to determine definitely what it costs
to handle the United States mail.
The work of compiling this informa-
ton is under way now. When the
postmaster general recently announc-
ed that an increase i'll postage would
be a good thing for certain classes of
mail matter, newspapers and maga-
zines commenced crusade, giving
figures to show tnat the postofice de-
partment was being run at loss
where a profit could be made If it
was run ON business basis.
A fight was made in congress to
have the matter for railroad mail rates
investigated, but those behind the
movement were not successful. How
ever, it is possible that q congress
sional investigation may be urged at
the next session. At any rate, con-
gress will likely be asked to adjust
the rates and lower the tariffs which
railroads have been demanding for
the hauling of the United States
mails
