 The decision was delayed eight hours in order to prevent it's publi. cation until after the stock market had closed
 Verdict of Commission Unanimous.
 The decisions were unanimous They state in vigorous terms that there is no reason in the commis- sion's opinion why the railroads. eith- CT of the east of west, should in- crease their rates a single penny over the present tariff.
 Since it was claimed by railroads that advances of approximately Is per cent in the east and 16 per cent in the west were necessary in order to enable the interests of stockhold- CTS to be considered, attorneys for the railroads declared. after reading the decisions, that the commission had dealt a blow at the very yitals of the railroad industry.
 No Increases for Two Years.
 The decision prevents increases in rates from becoming effective for term of two years after March 10. Freight increases totalling more than $20,000000 annually have been fore stalled
 The sweeping character of the yer diets came as bitter disappointment to the railroads, who expected that the verdict would be a compromise one and permit increase of rates on some of those commodities in which the traffic is the heaviest.

variation in the time of ripening
Barley requires more judgment in

cal. If harvested too early the ap-
pearance and value of the grain are
injured by shrinkage. If allowed to
become over-ripe the heads bend over
and shatter badly during harvesting

comes discolored.
The hardness of the grain when
pinched between the thumb and fin
ger will indicate when the crop is
ready to harvest. If the grain can
just be denied with the nail, it is in
the hard dough stage and should be
cut at once.
In unfavorable seasons, when the
grain ripens unevenly, it is better to
cut when most of the heads are ripe,
even though there is some loss from
shrinkage. If the grain is intended
for brewing purposes it should not be
cut too early, as it increases in value
until the grain is dead ripe. Barley
should not be cut when wet with dew
or rain as the bundles dry out slowly
If weather conditions are favorable
it is best to let the bundles dry be-
fore shocking. They should then be
set up in oblong rather than round
shocks, as the oblong shocks allow bet
ter ventilation.
Barley is frequently injured by
heavy rains which in the shock. Mois-
ture not only discolors the grain, but
If excessive, may also cause it to
sprout. Opening the shock is the only
remedy. The common method is to
scatter the bundles on the ground,
but as there is danger that the grain
in contact with the soil will absorb
sufficient moisture to cause further in.
jury, the method practiced in Germany
and by farmers in some localities in
the United States is recommended
When the shocks are opened the
first bundle is laid fiat on the stubble;
the second and succeeding bundles
are then laid across the middle of the
projecting ones, the butt ends rest
ing on the ground and the heads pro-
jecting beyond the bundles upon which
they rest, the object being to keep the
grain off the ground, as shown in the
illustration, the numbers indicating
the order in which they are laid. BY
tapping the bundles in this way the
heads are kept of the ground and
are exposed to the action of the air,
SO that they dry out quickly. Even
though rained on while in this posi-
ton. they will soon dry and will be
damaged less than if lying on the
ground.

Charleston, S. G., via Summerville,
s. CAS- the result Of a freak storm
which struck this city and Savannah
Sunday night, and which reached
hurricane proportions, Charleston
virtually has been isolated for "a
hours. Five persons are known to
have been killed near here and prop
erty losses, it is estimated, will reach
81, 0O0,0 900.
The storm reached the proportions
of gale about o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon, the barometer falling stead
lily all day. The wind velocity in
creased from As miles an hour at
lbs p. M. to "a miles at 1920 r. M,
when the wind gauge was put out of
adjustment. At noon, Monday the
wind was only brisk and the sun was
trying to shine. The rainfall was
more than two inches. The disturb
ance was reported to be west of
Charleston and working away. The
tide was something over eight feet
during the storm, three feet short of
the record of 1893. Considerable
damage was done by the water in the
low sections of the city, necessitating
the removal of many persons from
their homes.
The waters have caused washouts
on the approaches to the Union Sta
ton, preventing the operation Of
trains. Alonzo Coburn, an engineer
on the Charleston division of the
Southern Railway, was instantly kill
ed by flying timbers. A Mr.. Smith,
Of Columbia, and Motorman Cutter,

were killed, and L. D. Klintworthy,
of St. Stephens, and e. B. Hill were
seriously injured when a trestle coll
lapsed Two unidentified women
were drowned when their home was
flooded and several negroes are re-
ported among the storm victims.
Great damage is feared for the rice
and Sea Island cotton industries by
the rise of the tide. Not since the
cyclone of 1885 has the waterfront
here suffered SO severely.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS
Value Is Often Not Appreciated by the
Farmers as II Should Be-
Cost Of Hauling.
lRv WI. q. PALMERl


The value of good roads is often
not appreciated by the farmers as
much as it should be. OF course the
burden of making better roads falls
directly on them, which is another
side to the problem. The average
cost of hauling a ton one mile on the
ordinary country roads is $.25, while
the average price of hauling one ton
one mile on the railroads is y of 1c.
In other words, the cost of hauling is
33 times as much. with teams and
wagon as with steam. This has been
accomplished by number of factors.
Some of these can be and must be
considered in making good roads, that
is, to have good hard road bed and
to eliminate grades. The railroads
do not as rule have grade Of more
than 3 per cent, some of them have
adopted per cent. as the maximum
grade. Two per cent. would mean a
rise of feet in 100 feet.

Use of Lime.

Any land which, when sown to Glow
er and timothy, produces in their
stead chiefly red-top and sorrel, will be
benefited by the use Of lime. Apply
anywhere from 1000 to 1000 pounds
or from Is to so bushels. The chief
thing is to get finely-divided lime in
to the soil.
Lime cannot take the place of fer
tilizer nor can fertilizer take the place
Of lime. Lime with manure will in
crease the yield and the use of lime
without manure may decrease it.
