might be made TO this report is, that
appropriations were made year after
year during the twelve or thirteen
wears that he was chairman Of the
Rivers and Ilarbors committee for the
identical improvements which the
senator now condemns. The reports
accompanying these bills were made
by the present Senator Burton, who
always defended with all of his un-
questioned ability any and every item
in The bills presented by him when
ever and BY whomsoever they were
attacked.
While possibly 1t would be impcr-
tinent to call attention 10 the change
In the senator's views after he has
lost his commanding position as
chairman Of the Rivers and Harhors
committee Of the House, Il is entirely
pertinent to ask why the fact that
many railways have been built in the
United States which We're and are
Improbable, does not constitute as
good an argument against the build
in OF any more railways as the fact
that certain selected waterways have
mot proved profitable constitutes for
the cessation of waterway improve
ments. II Is sngilicant fact that
more than ~ per cent Of railway
stocks in the year 1905 (being rail-
way stocks amounting to almost . =
| billions OF dollars. being 3716 pen
cent Of tie totnD paid no dividends.
However, it is wen known that
there are many roads which are now
profitable Which rvere Improbable
for many years. A very large number
OF the roads which are profitable now
have been through receiverships ana
reorganizations that wiped out a
large portion Of the capital originally
| invested. Thus, some waterways
which are not profitable now may
| produce great benefits in the future.
The presen, capitalization Of the
railway of the United Statcs is 30
times as great as the entire amount
which has been expended by the
United States government on water
| way improvements of every class from
the foundation of the government 10
the close Of the fiscal year 1909.
Nobody can deny that the expend-
lures on the Great Lakes and the
great tidewater harbors of the coun-
TRY have produced enormous benefits,
but If we should consider that the
whole of these expenditures had been

than that which has been taken out
OF the pockets of the people by rail-

In the following order: White cedar
Usage orange, red cedar, willow, black
walnut, locust, butternut and catalpa
few posts are cut from other woods
Nearly or quite one-half of all the
posts were round, indicating that most
of the trees were cut too small to
split
The low price attained by black
walnut and butternut, generally rated
high in lasting properties, is probab-
ly due to the fact that the posts
were round and small, and therefore
largely sapwood which decays quick
ly The life of such posts would be
much extended by giving them pre-
sentative treatment. Preservative
treatment increases the life of all
wooden posts and more than doubles
the period of usefulness of those
which are mostly sapwood. The
100000 spent yearly by Iowa farm
ers in buying and setting fence posts
might be materially lessened by put
ting into practice the known
methods of wood preservation. 1t
costs much less ito treat a post than
to buy a new one and set 1t in the
ground, and in addition much wood
coul be saved for other purposes. The
department of agriculture has made a
special study of practical of preserv-
ing farm timbers; SO that 1t Is able
to inform inquirers how to do this

The price of materials has dropped.
1t had to drop because we had been
having inflated values. In producing
a perfected car in large quantities
the manufacturing cost has been re-
duced and we found that for 1911, we
could reduce the price and maintain
the standard.

Announcement is made from the
Detroit Office that the EMF thirty
which has heretofore sold for $3.50
has been reduced to $1,000 and the
Flanders twenty" has been reduced
from $3.50 to $500. 1t is the under
standing that this reduction from the
list price will in no way affect the
dealers discounts. In view of the
bargain sales offered by some other
manufacturers to reduce their stock
of old cars, this move upon the part
of the EMF Co. cannot but have a
marked effect upon other companies
and the automobile trade in general.
Among other things it shows that
there has been q decided drop in the
cost OF materials and that cars of
proven durability and Workmanship
can be sold for reasonable prices. For
the last two years the industry has
been afflicted with inflated values,
brought about by the rush for ma
terial, which reached the stage where
companies were willing to bid against
each other in order to secure prefer
ence. The reaction has set in; in fact
1t began settling some time ago, and

Pig iron is cheaper and there will be

panies which have the manufacturing
facilities are able to take advantage

The fact that the EMF Co. is able
to loD off $3.50 from the price of it's
thirty" car Is regarded as little less
than sensational and can only be ac-
counted for by the fact that the com
pany manufactures the car complete.
There have been very few minor
changes in this car and instead of a.
new model every year 1t has become
a standard, and Is so recognized. An
other pertinent fact is that the COM
pany is backed by the Morgan inter-
ests, and the reduction in the price
OF cars can be taken to mean that

FENCE POSTS OF IOWA
~-~-~-"~N%-~-~-~-A

The u. S. department. of agricul-
ture in a recent bulletin estimates that
the farmers of the single state of
Iowa use every year s1,4O0,O00 worth
of fence posts which cost the equiv
alent of 100000 for setting them in
the ground. Further the department
officials believe that apart of this ex-
penditure might be saved
The opportunity for economy is
found, first, in using the kinds of
posts which, taking into account both
cost and durability, are cheapest in
the long run, and, secondly, by treat
ing the posts to prevent decay, par
ticularly those which decay most
quickly. When a farmer sets a post
which will have a comparatively short
life, he loses not only through having
to buy new post but also of the ad-
ditional labor involved in setting il.
1t is true that in both cases no mon
ey outlay may be involved, for he
may set his posts himself, after get
ting them from his own woodIot. OF
the posts used last year in Iowa
20 per cent 1t is estimated, were
grown on the farms where they were
used, or were obtained from other
farmers or woodlot owners, and only
30 per cent were bought from Ium-
Der dealers. Nevertheless, the farmer
is out his labor and the part of the
product of his woodlot which is used
up, even though he does not pay out
any cash.

cording to these totals about ID. 0OO.-
