WISCONSIN BARLEY CROP
ENOUGH TO SEED WORLD

Wisconsin grew approximately
10000 bushels of pedigree barley in
1911, according to Prof. r. A. Moore
Of the agronomy department OF the
College of Agriculture Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Through the
work of the Wisconsin Experiment
Association and the grain breeding
work at the experiment station, Prof.
Moore says, the average yield OF bar
ley has been greatly increased dur
ing the past few years. During the
past ten years pedigree barley has
yielded an average Of 50.7 bushels
per acre at the experiment station
while the average Of the state for
common barley has beeen 28.7 bush
els.
wisconsin will probably raise
enough pedigree barley in 1914 to
seed all of the barley fields In the
says Prof. Moore. One
eighth of all of the barley grown In
the United States is now produced in
Wisconsin.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE scandal
which has arisen over the sale of the
tickets for the worlds championship
series of baseball games threatens to
to do irreparable damage to the in
terests of the national game. On all
sides condemnation is heard of the
manner in which the New York
National League club withheld tick
cts for the contest with the Athletics
from the general public, thus operat-
ing to the benefit of the spectators.
Assertions are made by the public
and in the daily papers that $50, 600
was paid for the control of the issu-
ance of tickets in New York and that
the person who paid that sum reaped
q fortune by selling the tickets to
sepeculators and hotel stands. Com
plants have been made to the ma

Opponents OF Scidel say that the only

fact that 1t is in the hands of nom

The charge has been made that

sixty years ago. but the capitalization
would not represent the rental value
of the property. nor, in the case OF
the railroad. docs the capitalization
represent the rates that are charSc-
able for services.
Going further along this line, tho
commission declares that physical
valuation is not necessarily CONTROL
ling factor in the cost OF producti ion.
Again the question of wise location
and farsighted choice of routes comes
in and il Is the opinion OF the COM
mission that the railroads that build
wisely for the future arc entitled TO
their just returns for that foresight.
Looking towards the future growth
and development OF railroads in this
country, the commission makes com
parison OF the capitalized value per
mile of the railroads of this and for
elgn countries.
The total capitalization per mile for
railroads in Amcrica, as found By the
commission, Is less than 100000 as
against 100000 per mile for Germany,
sl$7.op0 per mile for France and $685.
200 per mile for Great Britain.
In order to raise money for the flu
turc development of railroads the
commission strongly advises the sell
ing of stock at less than par in pre-
ference to the issuance OF bonds for
the reason that when the railroad does

inability TO sell stock At par, may re-
suit In intensifying the acuteness Of

All Of these recommendations of tho
commission have long been familiar to
the students of political economy, and
one OF the greatest blessings that
could befall this country from com
mercial standpoint would be the
spread of these principles among the
investing public and the politicians.
Nothing can do more TO prevent com
mercial and financial depression than
clear appreciation of the causes that
bring about these crises

NOR MAKING M1LwAuI1Br, FAMOUS

Milwaukee, is the largest municipal
stronghold yet taken by the Socialists
in this country. Its Socialist admin
istration is viewed by the country at
large as sort of test or experiment
as TO tho comparative value of So
cialism in governmental methods.
However, the progress made SO far is
ncithc: remarkable nor promising. The
Albany Evening journal says that Mil
waukee's lesson Is that "a Socialist
city administration is costly without
adequate return"
Mayor Scidel and the Socialist Board
of Aldermen I'm Milwaukee have in
creased the city budget 100000 in
two years. y citizens movement is
now on foot in the city to overthrow
the Socialists, and 1t is the conten-
ton of the former that the increase
in the budget would not be so bad IL
the city had secured adequate return
for the increased expenditures. They
assert that the city's interests have
suffered under the Seidel admfnistra-
ton because of lack OF efficient bus
mess methods. One complaint Is that
the pay roll in a single city depart
ment has increased $4,000 the year.
