CUT BEKalvBEB
Railway Commission Direct Cut
Charge on Short Haul for 100
Pound Packages.

st. Paul, Feb. 11.-Efective April
1, the state railway and warehouse
commission will shortly issue an order
directing material reduction in ex-
press rates throughout:the state. For
the present thea interstate commerce
express rates, which went into effect
Feb. 1, will prevail.
The reduced rates, while being pre-
pared by the commission, will, in a
measure, be a test, and while in effect
the express companies will be requir-
ed to keep careful account Of their
earnings in order to determine the
reasonableness of the rates. The COM
mission at the same time will reserve
the right to modify the scale.
Under the new interstate commerce
rates, reductions are made on small
packages and increases In the rates
on heavy packages. This applied to
both merchandise and to second class
express, formerly known as general
specials, and includes all food prod
ucts. Generally speaking, the reduc-
ton is on shipments of packages un-
der so pounds.
The changes contemplated by the
commission for Minnesota provide for
a practical adoption of the interstate
rates with certain notifications in the
sub-block territories, which will have
the effect Of reducing the rates for
short distances from 20 cents per 100
pounds, the maximum fixed by the in
terstate commerce commission, to a
basis of SIS, 60 and IS cents per 100
pounds.
Commissioner Elmquist of the Min
nesota department said that express
operating in Minnesota had
been notified to publish scales Of rates
with the notifications suggested by
Ehe Minnesota commission, and this
will be done as quickly as possible.
Sixteen other states, he said, have
adopted a similar schedule, and in
order to meet the demands Of all the;
express companies have asked until
April I to prepare their schedules.
Bstween Feb. and April 1, Mr..
Vasaly states, there will be a notice
able change between the rates charg-
ed upon state and interstate. ship
ments. On small packages the inter
state rates will be less, while upon the
large packages and food products the
Minnesota scale will be lower. Until
April 1 the classification will remain
as at present

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR 1914

In commenting to-day on prevailing
conditions in business circles, Mr..
Sprague of the First National Bank
said:
The optimism that prevailed at the
first of the new year is found by the
end of January to have been based on
something more substantial than sun
shine. Business in general is better
and confidence in the future has
grown correspondingly, although
there is still plenty Of room for i'm
provement with expansion healthful-
ly progressive.
Fall crops continue to be viewed
favorably. Danger the next month
will center the possibility Of winter
killing by cold wave as the fields
are inadequately protected by snow
but even should this. occur it is well to
remember that the acreage is the
greatest ever seeded and that what
ever amount Of winter wheat area is
abandoned will go into spring grains.
The live stock situation has been
complicated by the imports of beef.
Chicago notes the arrival of ''half fat"
steers which indicates the desire to re-
duce holdings. The effects of these i'm
ports are easily exaggerated and it
is likely to be found in the end that
this competition will result merely in
preventing further rise in prices
which has already reached a level that
is actually checking meat consumption
in this country.

no saving to the ultimate consumer

Rations Ordered by Bliss.

Fl PasO, Jan. 19.-Rations for Mex

Of coffee.
The refugee camp will be inclosed

makes plant food available and fur
nishes proper conditions for seed
termination and rapid growth. The
hest farmers will tell you that thor
ough preparat on is more than half
the expense of making a good crop.
The spring preparation is never as
deep as the land was when broken
in the fall or winter. With nearly
all field crops a firm seed bed is
preferable. Only the first few inch
es need to be freshened and pull
verified at planting time. When the
cover crop is drawn under, the
plowing should be just deep enough
to turn the crop under well and
the usual narrowing and pulveriz-
ing to get fine soil before seeding
Where there has been no fall and
winter breaking done, as is the rule
in some sections, 1t is not advisable
to break as deeply in the spring as
in the fall, usually not more than
two inches deeper than before, and
then the clay subsoil should not be
turned to the surface. The plow can
be set to edge the furrow 1t is
found more necessary to get spring
broken land finely pulverized and
thoroughly prepared before planting
1t is better to delay planting several
days rather tran put the seed in
poorly prepared bed.

SPRING PREPARATION ON !;
SOUTHERN FARMS. :;


Washington, d. c. Jan. 20.-In
no section of the country does a
well prepared seed-bed give better
returns than in the southern states.
The best spring preparation of the
soil is practically impossible unless
it has been properly turned and
deeply broken during the previous
summer or fall. The necessity for
deep plowing in the south is prob
ably not realized by those who are
not familiar with the heavy rain
falls in this section, which frequent
ly packs and runs the particles of
soil together so as to exclude air
and sunshine. The absence of freez-
ing prevents any loosening-up of
the particles, besides in many plac-
es there is an almost imperyious
hard-pan of subsol, either natural
or brought about from a continuous
custom of shallow plowing. In other
sections this deepening and loosen
ing of the soil is done partly at
least by the forces of nature but can
only be accomplished by the plow
in the south. Such are the findings
of the department of agriculture.
The best implement for deep
breaking of the soil is the disc
plow which turns, pulverizes and
mixes at the same time. When
properly adjusted the disc breaks
the land deeply and thoroughly
lOosens it, mixing this soil and the
subsoil to some extent but does not
turn to the surface enough OF the
inert subsoil to injure the succeed
ing crop The next best method
for deep breaking is moldboard
plowing, set to turn burrows on cage
and this is followed by "a subsoil
plow in the same furrow as deeply
as desired
If the cover crop is to follow the
ldll breaking JlOIOltSW pltpdld dIlOH
of the seed-bel should be made be-
fore planting the seed. If no cover
crop is shown the disc harrow or
spring tooth harrow should be run
over occasionally to crush clods and
keep surface crusts broken for the
admission of air and sunlight. The
usual method is to flat break and
where this is done it is best to
throw up into beds before planting. |
Planting may be done with small
plows or just is effectively and
much faster tn a disc cultivator
set at the proper angle Should
there be clods a roller may be used
and this is followed with a section
harrow.
Too much care cannot be given to
the preparation of the seed bed.
1t not only saves cultivation but
