GAR SHORTAGE DUE TO WATER
4s6, ss2 TONS OF USELESS WATER
IN CORN SHIPPED ANNUALLY.
On This, Excess Freight Was Paid
and In Addition the Corn Deter.
orates Before Reaching Market.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 15.-More
than 4S6,O00 tons of useless water Is
shipped annually in conjunction with
one product, alone scientists of the
department of agriculture have dis
covered, and they attribute to this
wasteful practice much of the hign
cost of living and the distressing
scarcity of freight cars each year
during the crop shipping season. The
experts, who have been making an
investigation of shipping methods, to-
day made public their findings.
In corn shipments from the fields
to the centers of consumption, the ex-
perts found that because of the fail.
iire of shippers to dry the corn before
loading it. just 436,6S2 tons of water
were hauled to market each year. On
this, excess freight was paid and in
addition the corn deteriorates before
il reaches the market.
AS result, the scientists declare.
food is started on long journeys in
such condition that heavy freight
charges must be paid on elements
which have to be taken out of the

food at the end Of the trip before il
can be used as food.
: THE waste water now being, ship
ped in corn in the United States has
serious bearing on the actual cost
of corn and also is one explanation for
a great shortage of cars. there is in
the shipping season. At time when
there is great shortage of cars, there
is the equivalent of over IA. $50 freight
cars of 10000 pounds capacity each
loaded with water which is RESPONSE
BILE for the enormous losses resulting
from the deterioration in corn before
it is tinall consumed"
The experts found that potatoes a.
so We're costing the nation heavily
through the failure of shippers to dry
them before shipping.

the matter, Hobssn does not intend to
drag Bryan openly into the contro-

Il do not see how Mr.. Bryan can

Underwood has not yet replied to
