FARMERS, RANCHfRS' and
FRUIT GROWERS COLUMN

In these days when anything trans
pires connected with the development
of the cattle industry and thereby
causing lowering of the prices, it is
watched with interest. The Depart
ment of agriculture deserves much
credit for its efforts on behalf Of the
nation as a whole. Its branches reach
out and embrace everything that will
lead to the betterment of the farmers
life in his continual struggle, not only
for existence, but for the betterment
of his surroundings. With this end in
view the Department has taken up the
question of the depleted western gra-
zing lands with their greatly reduced
areas, consequent to their being thrown
open for settlement. To discover what
is the best vegetation for grazing pur-
poses extensive experiments have been
carried on in these states from Canada
to the Mexican border. AS the re-
suit OF these experiments timothy is
shown to be the best adapted as well
as the cheapest of the twenty-five va
rieties tested under this great diver
gence of climatic conditions. Only
forty-two per cent Of the alfalfa. and
fifteen per cent of the alsike clover,
respectively, gave partly or wholly sat
isfactory results. No species yet tried
can be economically introduced in the
hot dry foothills of California, Arizona
and New Mexico where the land is
distinctly arid.

BOIL WEEVIL BEATEN.
President Finley Of the Southern
Tells of Planters Success.

That farmers in the territory into which
the Mexican boil weevil has spread, after
having taken the advice of agents Of the
Southern railway, were able to produ ce
cotton successfully, in spite of the weeyiI.
has been demonstrated, according to Pres
ident Finley Of the railway company who
has Just returned from trip in the
south.
The practical demonstration of the
possibility of controlling the weevil in the
territory east of the Mississippi river he
said. lis one of more than incidental i'm
portance. 1t means that the cotton is
still to be the leading crop in that terri
tory. Special attention is being given to
forage crops and to corn. Formerly
southeastern farmers bought large guam
titles of western corn for their farm ami
mails. Now there are many who have
corn for sale. The cotton crop in the
southeast, while not as large as in some
years. is good, and is being sold at an
unusually good average price,
He declared that the general prosperity
of the section is largely dependent upon
agricultural conditions and that farming
in the southeast Is so distinctively pro-
gressive that there is every reason to look
to the future with confidence.

LEFT TO THE SOLICITOR.
Question Of Shipping Ether Submit
ted by Commerce Department.

Whether the Department of Commerce
has the power under the law to permit
passenger-carrying vessels to ship ether
in the cargo was left for decision yes
terday to the solicitor of the Department
of Commerce by Acting Secretary Sweet
The question was submitted following a
public hearing in the Office of Acting
Secretary Sweet, at which representatives
of a New York chemical company pro-
tested against the recent ruling of the
department prohibiting the practice of
shipping ether on passenger-carryingv es-
sells on account of its highly explosive
character.
The chemical Representatives declared
that the ruling worked severe hardship
upon them, as the greater part of their
trade was with South and Central Amer
lean countries. where only passenger
carrying vessels visit. At the conclusion
of the hearing it appeared that the Com
merce Department officials sympathized
with the merchants. but the law seemed
to stand in the way.

VALUATION
COMMISSIONERS THEME
Discussion Follows Presenta-
ton of Report of Commit
tee on Taxes.

Railway valuation was discussed in
all its angles today by the delegates to
the twenty fifth annual convention of
the National Association of Railway
Commissioners, in session at the inter-
tate commerce commission. The discus
sion followed the presentation Of the
| report of the committee on railroad
taxes and plans for ascertaining fair
valuation of railroad property.
Commissioner H. D. Loveland of Cali
fornia read the paper of his associate.
Max Phelan. Other papers were pre-
scented by George A. Henshaw of Okla
homa. DR. A. F. Weber of New York.
DR. Edward w. Bems Of Chicago. Com
missioner Forrest L. Barker of Massa-
chusetts. Commissioner Halford Erick-
son of Wisconsin and DR. r. H. Whit
ten of New York.
The discussion following the papers
was long. and went into every branch
of the valuation question.
View Of Statistician.
The public will willingly pay rates that
will enable railroad company to keep
its original investment intact. provided
the money it sets aside for the deprecia-
ton of its property is not excessive and
was the opinion expressed today by DR..
\. r. Weber, chief statistician of the
public service commission of New York,
first district. in an address.
THE element of depreciation in arriv-
ing at valuation of railroad property has
been recognized by the COURTS" said DR..
Weber, and for a road to set aside an
excessive amount for depreciation is un-
justifiab BILE, because it is unfair to tax
consumers in order to swell dividends.
while admitting, he added, that
there are many problems still to be solved
in connection with overhead expenses at
tending the installation of fixed capital,
and that there are difficulties in handling
depreciation and fixing rates during the
development period, where companies
have entered the stage of reasonable
profits, ii is clear that the annual allow
ance to be made for depreciation as an
item of operating expense should be what
ever amount the company regularly puts
into its depreciation fund, provided that
amount be found after careful investiga-
inn f<,l In ~ nvr i've

TEST IN AGRICULTURE
FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
Examination Required in Nine
teen States as Requisite
for Certificates.

Nineteen states now require that an
examination in agriculture must be passed
before teachers may obtain their certi1-
Gates, according to bulletin just issued
bv the Department of Agriculture en-
titled agricultural Training Courses for
Employed Teachers This the bulletin
says Is an indication of the impetus that
has recently been given to agricultural
education throughout the country. In
the two years ending March, 1912, the
number of institutions giving courses in
agriculture increased at q rate of more
than seventy-six a month. and the total
number grew from 1853 to 2.575
Now that nineteen states require. by
common schools, the demand for teachers
of the subject is constantly growing.
Normal schools" the bulletin says, are
introducing courses of agriculture. and
many agricultural colleges are offering
special lines of work to meet this de-
mand Still, there are hardly enough
teachers for the secondary schools and
the special schools of agriculture. 1t has
been the object of the office of expert
ment stations to discover. by investiga-
ton, Just how teachers already employed
may acquire the training required to
enable them to teach the elementary
phases of agriculture"
Summer Course Popular.
The most popular, as well as the most
efficient means of giving this training is
the summer course offered by a college
or normal school. The instruction Is
usually of high class, and adequate
equipment and apparatus for laboratory
and field work are usually available.

Rates of Utility Corporations.

The rates which public utility corpora
tons are entitled to charge the public
should be based on reasonable return
upon such money as they honestly and
wisely expend for the public" not upon
the increased value of their property, as
serted Max Thelan.
Mr.. Thean. who Is a member of the
California railroad commission, declared
that the use of the present value or
reproduction value theories as a basis
for determining rates was wrong. Point
ing out that the courts had not yet def
nitely established a basis upon which
public utility rates are to be calculated,
Mr.. Thelan proposed that the basis
should be fixed on fundamental prin-
cples," a relationship of principal and
agent between the public and the public
utilities.
r. 1t seems clear" he said, that public
utilities are entitled to a reasonable re-
turn upon such money as they honestly
and wisely expend for the public. but
that they should not be allowed a return
on the increased value of the property
used in the agency. If the agent has
expended money dishonesty or has ex-
pended it injudiciously he is not enti-
tied to return thereon.
