ritory includes Ohio, Indinana Illinois
Michigan. and western Pennsylvania, in
cluding the Pittsburgh district, and
western New York, including the Blffa-

The denial of increases in New Eng
land territory skaters the hopes of
the New Haven road. which urged the
need of an advance as one means OF
permitting rehabilitation.
More economical and efficient man
agement, the elimination of free serv-
ices. and the curtailment of free passes,
which. the commission holds, cause an
annual loss Of S1S,0oo 900 to the roads,
are urged as means of increasing rev.

port are devoted to the question OF in

rates.
The commission pointed to the need

was earned last year on freight service,
the passenger service netted less than
one-haf of per cent earnings.
Dissenting Report Filed.
The opinion, written by Chairman
Harlan, is concurred in by Commits
sioners Clements. Clark, Meyer. and
Hall. Commissioners McChord and
Daniels fled a separate opinion, differ
ing from the majority as to a part of
the findings
Discussing passenger fares, the ma
jority report says:
THE travelling public is giving ex-
preston to its demands for LITTER serv-
ice better accommodations and for the
adoption by the carriers of all the de-
vices that make for safety. A public
that demands such service cannot rea-
sonably object to the payment of a
reasonable compensation therefor
Criticism is made of the publicity
campaign which sought to make II ap-
pear that a crisis" existed. OF this the
commission says:
There appears to have been a set
purpose TO convince US that the people
were of one mind respecting the very
important questions in this case, and
that, in order to satisfy every public
requirement, there remained nothing

STORAGE OF SOIL MOISTURE
Several Factors Ars Cited In Bulletin
Issued by the Nebraska Expert
+ ment station. -

The Nebraska experiment station
has Just recently issued q bulletin on
~Ths Storage and Use of Soil Mofs-
turs." This bulletin Is brief discus
sion Of work done at the North Platte
substation relative TO the storage and
use Of soil moisture. It treats Of the
possibilities Of storing water In the
sod during certain periods. to be Used
Later In conjunction with the rainfall.
Several of the factors influencing the
storage Of water In the soil are dis
cussed.
Summer tillage has been the most
effective method of storing water. but
even by this method only from 10 to
50 per cent of the seasonal rainfall
has been stored In the soil. A discus
sion of the amount of water retained
by summer tillage during each Of tho
past several years shows that the
amount Of water stored varies with
the amount and distribution Of the
rainfall during the period covered by
the summer tillase. 1t has been found
that water stored in the soil before
seeding IL . safeguard against drought.
but II has not been found possible to
store enough water In the soil before
seeding to mature crop without sub
seQuent rains.
Disking small grain stubble has
proved beneficial by preventing weed
growth, whenever there has been suf-
dcient moisture in the soil at harvest
time to produce crop Of weeds. or
where rains have come early enough
to start weed growth.
Flowing has bean better than disk
ing. In that 1t more thoroughly kills
all weed growth. and in the case Of
heavy rains plowed land will absorb
more water than disked land, because
1t ID more thoroughly stirred.
Artificial mulches OF straw or hay
have proved more effective than soil
mulches In absorbing and retaining
water from rains.
Spring wheat, oats. barley and corn
feed to an average depth Of four feet
In this soil. Winter wheat feeds to .
depth Of sig. or seven feet. Alfalfa
and grasses use water from greater
depths.
Weeds are the greatest agency for
the loss Of water from the soil. Pre-
venting weed growth has been more
important from the standpoint Of stor-
ing water in the soil than cultivating
the soil TO produce any kind Of .
mulch.
