RICHMOND SHIPPERS
|. FAVOR HIGHER RATE

The Commercial club will 60 on
record as favoring five per cent In
crease in freight rates at the meeting
OF the board Of directors tonight II the
expression of the railroad committee
is cOncurred in. At a meeting held
this afternoon by members Of the com.
.mittee together with officials of the
Pennsylvania and c. and o. railroads
several matters came up for adjust
ment but nothing final was consum
mated.
I John Lontz of the F. and N. Lawn
Mower company, In behalf of his firm
asked to go on record as favoring the
increased rate, and declared the rail
roads have been prosecuted by legis
lative bodies and the public as a re
suit of agitations started by yellow
journals"
"We do not appreciate enough the
service we are receiving from the rail
roads here" Mr.. Lontz said. I'VE are
willing to pay that five per cent. The
facilities have been improved, labor
has gone up, but the freight rates have
not increased although the two cent
passenger rate bill was made law by
legislators without even an investiga
ton to show whether or not this would
make a losing or a paying invest
ment."
S. w. Hayes of the Hayes Track Ap.
pliance company said:
Believing that flOurishing condi
tion among the railroads will mean a
financial uplift of the whole section
of the country, we stand in favor OF an
increase in freight rates."
Among the officials at the meeting

agent on the Pennsylvania; C. L.
Sprague. division freight agent, Penn
sylvania; Division Freight Agent
Shaw, of Muncie, c. and o.; and
Freight Agent Greenstreet, Of Rich
mond, c. and o.
The matter of securing an addition
to the freight depost Of both railroads
was brought up. Mr.. LeBoutilier stat
ed that since the Pennsylvania freight
depot was built ten years ago, the
business has increased seventy per
cent and admitted that in any abnor'
NAL business times, the facilities were
taxed beyond capacity.
Both the C. and o. and the Pennsyl
vania officials said that plans had
been made for increasing the rooted
depot space, but there is no definite
arrangement as to when this can be
afforded. Neither railroad is making
extensive changes along the lines.
The committee report will be
brought before the club tonight.

ENJO|NS AGAINST CARNIVAL
TO Open IN BEA[LHEW

Henry II. Johanning, 1922 South 9
street, today announced his intention
of taking every step toward prevent
ing the holding of carnival on the
South Side improvement association
grounds in Beallview unless the i'm
provement will agree to donate the re-
ceipts for use in improving the park.
Johanning bases his fight on the
fact that the abstract Of title last
issued in 1907 dedicates the ground
between L and NJ. streets from Eighth
to Ninth streets as public park prop
erty and Johanning claims that this
clause makes it the property of the
county and therefore not attachable
for use for carnivals, baseball games
or exhibitions. s~.
He says he will first have an ex-
ecution served against the improve
ment association If the carnival opens
as scheduled this afternoon and If the
injunction of Judge Fox entered in
December 1911 is not obeyed, the
association will be, prosecuted for. con-
tempt of court. ..t
See Private Quarrel.
Officers of the South Side Improve
ment association are much wrought up
over Johanning's announcement that
he will enjoin them from holding the
carnival and say that Johanning is
prosecuting the association because
of a private quarrel of his with an in
dividual member, Adolph sBlickwedel,
the president Johanning himself is
a large stockholder in the organiza-
ton.
The same matter came up In 1911.
Johanning owns lot No. 121 on South
Eighth street between M and N
streets. At that time, through his
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1914-05-04

efforts, Judge Fox issued an injunc-
ton and restraining order preventing
the improvement association from
maintaining a high board fence around
the park ground and obstructing the
view of the tenent on Lot 121 who Is
now Fisher Scott.
Threatens Exposures.
The fight now hinges around the
company's claim to the property and
legal technicalities involved in the
1911 Injunction. 81
Adolph Blickwedel stated that the
association has no intention of putting
stop to the carnival and any action
on Johanning's part will embroil both
the corporation and -Johanning in a
legal battle. He claims that the
ground belongs to the Improvement
association, which it does, II the order
of the court can be maintained. .-
Court officials believe Johanning
can do nothing by making use of the
Injunction now existing against the
association to prevent the fencing in
of the streets and alleys and of
grounds opposite Johannings Eighth
street property.
After get through with this, I am
going to make some more startling in
vestigations." Johanning said to a
Palladium representative. 'They are
running the Indianapolis Glove COM
pany like certain hardware store
was run and they are operating a
booze joint in Beallview park that we
will show up later"
He said he will leave no stone un-
turned to bring about his end unless
the money realized from the carnival
is placed in fund for the improve
ment of the property.

The first Shorthorn imported into
the United States were no doubt super
ior milk producers-in fact they were
known in Kentucky as ''the milk
breed" SO the dual-purpose idea is
not knew. Along with the dairy
breeds came the beef breeds, and it
was during this period that the
''double-decker' was neglected by the
American breeders.
1t is not my purpose to quote at
length from the work of the breeders
on the other side of the Atlantic, but
we cannot get far away from the con-
viction that our English neighbors
have taught us much that we know
about constructive breeding English
breeders stayed by the cow that pro-
duced both milk and beef, and it Is
from them that we must draw insplr-
ation-and foundation stock-with
which to build up our dual-purpose
herds
Recent sales of these cattle, espec-
tally milking Shorthorns, both in Eng
land and in the United States, furnish
ample proof of the esteem in winch
they are held. 1t cannot be said that
these high prices are due to booms
or red-t1re methods of advertising.
The great bulk of the dual-purpose
cattle of England belong to farmers,
and the majority of these farmers are
tenants.
/ believe it is true that milking
Shorthorns in England are today COM
manding higher prices and more ready
sales that any other breed of cattle
Leading breeders of the United
States write me that they are sold

There must be a reason for this, and !
believe the reason is the condition or
the part of the average farmer that
| the "double-decker" will best fit the
| farm.
Prof. G. l.. Mckay, writing of the
milking Shorthorns in England, tells
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1914-04-03

of visit to the farm of R. W. Hobbs
& Son in Gloucestershire The farm
consists of 1900 acres and carries
about 500 cattle of all ages, besides
sheep and other stock The owners
have been breeding milking Short
horns for more than thirty-five years
and they keep about 200 COWS in milk
The average milk production of these
COWS from September 80, 1911, to Sep
tember30, 1912, was 6,400 pounds each
and the average butterfat test was 3.S
percent. AS this includes many heif-
ers with first calves, the record must
be recognized as exceedingly credit
able.
Mr.. Hobbs does not contend that his
COWS will produce milk more econ
omically than the special dairy breeds,
but he claims that they will give pro-
fitable returns in milk and that each
one produces calf year suitable
either to dairy or to beef purposes.
Steers from the Hobbs herd have more
than once topped the English market.
The English farmer places high val
ue on the calf.
ProfessorMcKay tells also of having
been entertained by the faculty of
the Royal Agricultural College, and
he says these men "are universally in
favor of the dual-purpose animal and
express themselves quite radically on
this point"-a different attitude from
that of many of the men in the agri-
cultural colleges of this country
1t is said that eighty per cent of the
milk used in England is from COWS
of dual-purpose type, and that fully
seventy per cent is from milking
Shorthorns. With the homes of the
Holstein, Guernsey and Jersey in such
close proximity to England, it is but
reasonable to presume that unless
these dual-purpose cattle had amply
demonstrated their superiority for the
purposes of the English farmer they
would long ago have been Implanted
by other breeds.
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1914-04-03

In writing of the performance of our
English neighbors with the dual-pur-
pose COW, am not going SO for afield
as might seem. Agricultural condi-
tons in this country are gradually APP
preaching conditions over there as
regards the price of lands and the re-
turns that must be received from the
farm. The selling price of lands in
England does not greatly exceed the
price of our own good farmlands, but
have to pay annually from six to
twelve dollars an acre. The English
renter is economical and long ago
learned that it pays to give consider
able attention to sanitation and breed
ing, especially in his selection of sires.
Prices for milk and butter have long
been lower In England than in this
country and lately beef has been not
little cheaper there than in the Unit
ed States. Most of the beef of England
comes from dual-purpose cattle.
In the light of all these facts it
would seem that if dual-purpose cattle
can be kept profitably in England we
should be able to keep them at great
er profit in this country. The time
is now here when farmer cannot af-
ford to keep a cow a whole year to
