A New Forage Crop

A bulletin issued by the department
Of agriculture says hay and forage
production has been greatly increased
by the important and adaptation of
several plants. the cultivation of
": ich has been experimental with
and fostered by the department Of
agriculture through it's bureau Of
plant industry until their suitability
for the desired purposes has been
demonstrated and their cultivation
established.
Two of these are treated in two
pamphlets, entitled "Sudan Grass: A
Drought Resisting Hay Plant" Farm
ers' bulletin 529.
In the semi-arid west, where no
perennial grass has been found suit
ed to the conditions, Soudan grass
promises high value for hay, says the
department. Indeed, it is not too
much to predict that there it is des.
tined to become the leading grass for
hay production. Under more humid
conditions it also succeeded admirab-
ly and will probably replace fox-tail
millets to a large extent, as it, pro-
duces better hay and usually larger
yields.
There is still much to learn in re-
gard to the crop, but it has been test
ed carefully in Texas as we'll as at
Arlington farm. Virginia, and has had
at least a years trial at many places
on the great plains and at various
agricultural experiment stations, and
the data at hand indicate approx
mately the best methods of culture.
Horses and COWS eat it greedily,
none of the stems, which contain a
great deal of sugar, being wasted, as
is often the case with the coarser
grasses.

VALUATION OF RAILWAYS

Seven years have passed since Rob-
ert M. La Toilette Of Wisconsin took
his seat in the intel States senate
and introduced a measure providing
for the physical valuation of Ameri-
can railways. At last a measure for
such valuation of lines engaged in
interstate commerce las been enact
ed by congress, with such amend
ments only as bring the idea down to
date.
The undertaking is a ~stupenious
task. Experts estimate that it will
cost the government $4,000, 900 and
the railroads at least as much more
and four years of the time and the
strength of the interstate commerce
business. The scope of the work is
enormous and calls for the services
of an army Of experts and assistants.
The motive that inspired the effort
to have such an investigation made
is the assumption that the roads gen
orally are overcapitalized and that,
since they partly fix their rates to OBJ
tain profits on excess capitalization,
the public is overcharged. The trans
portation companies for years resist
ed the proposal, but o they indicate
that they do not fear the issue of the
impending inquiry. They hope that
physical valuation will show that
their present capitalization is not
water and will enable them to obtain
the sought permission to raise their
carrying charges.
In Wisconsin, when a like law was
enacted, it was predicted that physi-
cal valuation would ruin the roads.
1t did not. Now it is confidently
forecasted by experts that the pro.
posed national valuation will disclose
facts to the credit of the companies
The railroads expect to show that
their property represents more than
their capitalization and that it would
be impracticable to reproduce the ex
listing properties for the money repre-
scented by the securities issued.
Whatever the outcome, the valua'
ton, when completed, Will at least
help to educate the public and clar
ify the relations between the people
and the railroads. 1t will be worth
all it costs to know the judgment OF
the interstate commerce commission
as to whether these common carriers
are fairly fnanced.-Spokesman-Re

Will Aid Drouth Sufferers

Kansas City, Sept. 30.-The banks
of this city will contribute $4,000 to.
ward a fund to purchase seed wheat
for farmers in the ten western coun.
ties of Kansas that suffered most from
the recent drought, according to Nh
announcement made today by Jerome
Thralls, manager of the Kansas City
Clearing House Association, who has
been chosen to collect the fund from
the Kansas City bankers. A move
ment to raise a fund of $4,000 to aid
the farmers of the drought-stricken
region was started by state officials
in Topeka several days ago.

INCREASE CATTLE SUPPLY

At the meeting of the American
Meat Packers association last week
it was determined to undertake a
propaganda among the farmers of the
country having for it's object the in.
crease of the cattle supply of the ma
ton. To accomplish this a fund of
$500, 900 is to be raised by the pack
ers with which to carry on a nation
wide educational campaign, with the
view of inducing o agriculturalists
to breed and raise cattle. 1t is de-
clared If the number of cattle de-
creases in the same proportion in the
next ten years as it has in the past
ten, a most serious condition will be
the result.
Many suggestions were made at the
packers meeting. Among them it was
set forth that the slaughter of calves
be checked, that there be a more Wig.
orous fight against disease IN ell food
animals, that every small farmer be
encouraged to raise at least two
steers a year, that the New England
hills with their bountiful springs and
ample shade be developed, that south
ern states be encouraged to substitute
corn for cotton so as to feed hogs
and cattle, and that the remaining
ranges of the west be cut up into
farms to effect equality of opportun-
ity among farmers.
1t was not long ago that the supply
of meat animals exceeded the demand
and the small farmer had little in
centive to produce meat animals.
Prices were low. Now demand ex-
ceeds supply and prices are not only
high, but they keep soaring. The
beef trust, while it had the situation
in hand, pursued methods that arous-
ed the resentment of producer and
consumer. But the time appears to
be ripe for farmers, big and little,
to get in and reap the profits of a
condition which is essentially in their
favor. Natural increase in popula-
ton will provide an outlet for any
increase in production they may be
able to achieve. The experiments
proposed by the packers are worth
trying.-Helena Record.

It's presence is due the growth, during
the past several centuries, of two
