This years crop will amount to about
1851 million bushels, about ga hll-
lion bushels less than last year. The
greatest scarcity of corn in the sur
plus states is in Kansas and Missouri
Strong Winter Market for Hogs
Short corn crops always hit pork
production hard and the tendency this
winter will be to market hogs early
and at lighter weights than usual A
decrease in weights of hogs, together
with no surplus supply in sight will
tend to effect a series CT strong mar
kets for the winter packing season.
Practically every October in the past
ten years packers have lowered hog
prices preparatory to opening the win
ter packing season in November. This
year will probably prove no exception
to that rule.
Stock Feeding
By the middle OF October not only
will farmers and cattlemen have an
inventory Of their feed and stock, but
they will be prepared to sell or buy
according to tlleir individual circum-
stances. Missouri and Kansas will en-
ter only meagerly nto beef making
this season, while Iowa and the Mis-
sissippi valley, east, will do full time
in feeding. Light supplies of fed beel
at river markets and liberal early win
ter runs in Chicago seem foregone
conclusion. River markets can depend
on good supply of grass fet beef vi
to the middle of December and cottor
seed feeds may land q fairly large
number of summer grazed steers into

CAR SERVICE

When the new time card goes into
effect on the Katy the fifteenth Of this
month, there will be two trains a day
less than now, operated through pu-
rant, which will make local service
materially poorer. Train No. AZ, which
has been running south through here
at 6:12 p. m. and train No. 4, running
north through Durant at 4:07 p. M,
will be discontinued.
No. 2, the Kansas City special, will
arrive from the south at 6:33 p. m,
instead of 7:43, and will do local work
that is now being done by No. 1. A
new train will be placed on between
Parsons, Kansas, and Sedalia, NO., to
dc local work between those cities.
A new feature will be the installa-
tion of dining cars on Katy Flyers Nos.
and 6, and the time spent at dining
stations will be taken up, which will
give the trains about one hour shorter
time between Texas and Missouri
points.
1t is reported that the Katy limited

High prices for rough feed make
saving methods of handling corn fod-
der important this season. We do
much of our huslking in the barn III
the autumn. We draw in loads from
the field on this low wagon and Oh
dry, windy or stormy days husk it out
shatterings and shelled off grain. This
fodder is bundled and stored in a.
empty NOW. AS the barn becomes full
we husk in the lot smear our feed
hangers and stack the fodder in ricks.
We build the bundles into a rick form,
keeping the middle well filled, so the
bundles settle with outside stalks in
clined in watershed. When done We
can start at one end and feed the
rick without opening the entire top.
AS freezing weather comes on we haul
from the field a hundred or more
shocks and have shredder come in
and shred this fodder into one of our
mows. AS we shred the fodder we
pitch into the blower vent load or
two of bright oat straw, mixing It with
the fodder. This makes fine horse
feed. Corn fodder is not of much value
for feed when left to stand in the
open field all winter and is difficult
to handle for feeding, SO we aim to
get our fodder all under cover, or
in ricks as early in the season as pos
sible. G.. w. BROWN.
Corn Prices May Go Lower \
In creased yields of forage and prosl
poets for fairly good fall pastures
have in the last ten days lowered
corn prices to "a cents and the
movement Of new corn has not fairly
started. When the movement becomes
more general 1t is believed prices VIII
so still lower but at no time will theN
fall much below 20 cents. The econ1
omy with which this years corn cro1
will be used will amount to the equiy1
alent of a good many hundred thous-
and bushels in year when a bumper
crop is grown and prices are lower.

Receiver for The Frisco.

In the United Circuit court of
appeals at st. Louis, Judge San
born, on Tuesday, granted a pc
tition asking that the st. Louis
and San Francisco R. R. Co., be
placed in the hands of a receiver.
Thomas H. West, of St. Louis,
and B. L. Winehell, president of
the Frisco lines. were named as
receivers.
The road has met with adverse
conditions for some time and pa
per falling due could not be met.
The floods of the past two years,
the war in Mexico, and deals
which imposed unusual obliga-
tions on the road are assigned
as the causes that led up to the
present embarrassment. There
will be no interference with the
regular business Of the company.

The much heralded speech Of
Representative Sisson in Con-
gress was not so rabid as the
country was led to expect. Mr.
Sisson occupies the same position
that all patriotic Americans oc-
cupy. No foreign nation should
be permitted to dictate to us any
of our internal laws. The states
should be left to themselves in
dealing with titles to land and
when the Federal government
undertakes to declare a treaty
with a foreign nation not in har-
mony with this view. the
Senate should promptly refuse to
ratify it.

THE TAX.

The Supreme Court of the
State. on Monday, handed down
a decision declaring the act of
1912 imposing a privilege tax or
automobiles as void. During the
year 1915 more than $28, 900
was collected from automobile
owners and turned into the state
treasury. At its January sitting
1914 the legislature will be called
on to refund this amount by a
bill setting aside the amount col
lected. We predict that a meas
ure of this kind will not meet
with much favor. The automo-
bile owner who has paid his
money will be the loser.
A privilege tax should be levied
only in rare instances. The nom
resident lightning rod agent and
sewing machine company who
come in the state and by exorbi-'
tant prices and fake schemes rob
the people should be made, to pay
a heavy privilege tax.
1t is not possible to reach this
class by an advalorum tax.
A citizen of the state should
be permitted to engage in any le-
gltimate business without the
imposition of a privilege tax.
The advalorum system Of assess
ment is the only equitable way
Of imposing taxes and the state
should adopt only this means of
collecting taxes from her citi-
zens. The increasing demand
upon the state makes it impera-
tive that the legislature raise the
present six mills State levy to at
least z mills. Frequently deficits
occur and the Governor of the
state is called upon to go out and
borrow money. We had just as
we'll look the matter squarely in
the face and make the levy. 1t
is a necessity and the sooner we
recognize it the quicker will
come the relief in our state fl
nanceS.

In a letter to Hon. P. E. Car
others, Gov. Brewer states that
it is his purpose to adhere to his
original idea of bringing nothing
before the extra session of the
legislature except the drainage
laws that will give relief to the
Delta. The governor expresses
himself as in favor of adequate
banking laws and a state refor-
matory but believes that these
matters should be taken up at
the regular session in January.
We endorse fully the suggestion
made by the governor and hope
to see the next legislature get
together on some wholesome
banking law and pass 1t. Poll
tics should cut no figure in con-
sidering 80 important a measure,
but wise counsel from exper-
fenced business men should pre-
vail. A state reformatory has
been needed many years and
there should be no further de-
lay in establishing it.

DAMAGE SUITS
AGAINST RAILROADS.

y -
against railroad companies where
the railroads mutilate and kill
individuals and destroy property
by theirnegligence will meet with
little favor from the public.
Before the Bankers association
at Greenwood, Blewett Lee, Gen.
Counsel for the illinois Central
railroad, deprecated the fact
that the assessment of damages
by juries against the roads were
growing more frequent each
year and furnished a comparison
to show that this tendency was
greater in some states than in
others.
President Markham of the
same road, before the press as
soclation of Mississippi at Match
ez, last week made a speech
along the same line, urging
friendlier relations between the
press, the people and the rail-
roads.
The railroads have received as
great consideration at the hands
of the people and of the press in
Mississippi as in any of the
states. The people are never
disposed to impose unnecessary
burdens upon the railroads and
in a large measure sympathlze
with them in their misfortunes
which frequently come. A few
years ago when there was a bill
before the legislature to make
the passenger rate two cents for
all service, the press and the
people practically took the side
of the railroads and urged that
the legislature should not pass
such a bill. The people of the
state have never demanded rates
that did not show a profit on all
freight handled inside the state.
The commission of the state has
been extremely liberal with the
roads and has never imposed
burdens upon them by demand
ing the construction of station
houses and improving their
equipment. but on the other
hand have failed in some instan-
ces to demand the accommoda-
ton, both in service and depot
facilities, to which the public is
entitled. In the states of Ar
kansas and Texas, the roads are
forced to furnish the public SER
vice regardless of wrecks and
accidents. Where a train is de-
layed. state laws compel the
roads of the state to make up
other trains and send them out
to meet the schedule of the de-
layed train. No such extreme
measures have been demanded
by the public in Mississippi.
The charge made by one speak
err at the press association, that
these damage suits were Matched
up by shyster lawyers is not
borne out by the facts. Railroad
damage suits are legitimate and
the best lawyers eagerly take
them. Their motives are the
best and no charge should be
made against attorneys because
of these damage suits. The only
redress that the people have
against the railroads, or any cor
poration, is through a damage
suit. The roads violate the laws
of the state every hour of the
day. They should be held &C
countable for infractions of the
law just as individuals. The on
ly way to make them feel the
hand of the law is by levying
damages at the hands of the
juries. The lives and property
of the people should be protected
and this can only be done by the
courts. The railroads have no
just complaint against the peo.
pie of Mississippi.
