Railroad Goes to Farming.

President Brown OF the New YORK
Central railroad has announced that the
railroad would run at least three demon
stration farms. and ono already has been
purchased at West Bergen. near Roches-
tor, not far from the local railroad sta
tlon.
.'It is platform on which the New
York Central and the farmer can stand
together" said President Brown. Pros
creased traffic There is no altruism
about that. II simply means that 1t is
good business for the railroad TO do all
[, can TO increase the products OF tho
farm and better farming conditions. II
the railroad, by moderate expense and
thought, can make these conditions radi-
cally better for the farmer. II Is plainly
I'm it's own interest TO do so. That is
why we have planned the three farm
stations here In New York state
The Bergen property is one of the run
down farms OF western New York. In
lis present condition II yields small re-
Turns but the railroad intends to show
hy practical example how the land, with
"a reasonable expenditure and by fertiliZo :
ton and Intelligent cultivation. can be
made to give UP good living Tor man
and his family.
When tho farm is developed TO It's
highest degree Of efficiency. the railroad
will sell IT and start TO build up some
other rundown property along It's lines.
II has selected as It's farm superintend-
rnt T. IT, Martin, OF West Rush. y, Y.

Selling Railroad Coal.

Western railroads have asked the in
terstate commerce commission TO pass on
complicated problem arising from the
recent coal shortage. During the recent
severe cold weather when the coal sup
ply was limited, the roads In some in
stances disregarded the commodities
clause OF the interstate commerce law
and sold their own fuel TO industries
along their lines that needed il.
The roads preferred to take chance
and violate the law. rather than TO COM
pei the Industries TO shut down for lack
Of fuel The law prohibits a railroad
from transporting and selling CONNER
clally coal and other commodities in
which il is interested financially.
The western roads have boen affected
little by the law because where they own
coal mines the product Is sold at the
tipple. and so has passed out OF the pos
session OF the carrier before transpor-
tation begins.
IT is understood that the commission
has declared itself willing TO be lenient
regarding violations, where strict obser-
vance OF the law would work hardship.
To meet the situation in the future an
effort will be made TO secure the pas
sage OF an amendment to the law which
will permit a railroad TO sell its own
coal during an emergency. under the
supervision Of the commission

RAILROADS SAY THEY ARE
VICTIMS OF HIGH PRICES

The representatives of the eastern rail-
roads have Issued the following state
ment;
''At time when active efforts are be-
ing made To fix the responsibility for
higher prices II should be made plain that
the railroads have not in any way been
responsible for the Increase In the cost OF
living They. have been the victims OF
high prices without benehting from them
This statement is not one OF opinion
II is one OF fact. supported by the official
fgures of the United States government.
II beef. or pork, or flour. or any other
commodity costs more now than IL cost
ten years ago, not even the fraction of a
cent OF the increase can be charged TO
transportation.
THE figures gathered by the interstate
commerce commission show that the level
of freight rates has declined steadily. In
1897 ii cost a little less than four-hfths
mile; eleven years later, in 1908. the tom
mile rate was still lower. being about
three quarters OF n cent
'Bradstreets index numbers for 90 COM
modties show that the Increase In the
prices OF these commodities. on the aver
age, from Jan. 1. 1890, to Jan. !. 1909.
was PA per cent. II freight rates had
increased during the same period at this
ratio. the gross freight receipts for tho
year ended June 30. 1908, would have
been S2i3 526, ,i0T greater than they ac-
tually were.
This sum represents. then. what was
saved To the public In transportation
costs by reason OF the price OF transpor-
tation not advancing along with other
prices
While rates have declined. the price
OF everything that a railroad buys has
advanced. SO that the net earnings are
cut from both ends. Periodical advances
in wages have brought about large in
creases in the cost OF labor. The total
cost of labor for the country's railroads
was 2oS per cent greater in 1907 than
In 1897, though freight traffic increased
only 1 rs per cent and passenger traffic
only 12b per cent.
Railroads are heavy purchasers OF
everything in the market, from steel TO
butter and no corporation or individual
is more affected by a rise in price than
"A railroad company. \ few specimen In

cold were such as 10 reduce the freight
trains to 10 per cent OF their normal
