saws the commission, that the propos-
cd revision was made solely for the
nurpose of bringing about a readjust-
rent or realignment of the lumber
rates to place all sections of the terri
tory involved upon a uniform basis
and that it was at no time intended to
advance rates to secure additional
revenue. The record discloses, how
ever, that the advances are much more
numerous than the reductions, the
ratio being approximately IL to l..
It is also evident that the advances
affect principally lumber classified as
oak and other kinds which comprise
the larger perC 4ntage of the timber
cut, and that the reductions apply
principally on hemlock and spruce
Spruce lumber is obtained at COM
paratively few points the principal
tracts being located on the two lines
of the Tennessee and North Carolina
Railroad at Crestmont and Canton and
are owned by the interests in control
of that railroad. approximately 80
per cent of the lumber shipped by the
Tennessee and North Carolina Rail-
road is said to be hemlock and spruce
and of this amount by far the greater
portion is produced by the owners of
IL e railroad.
"The propriety of the allowance
made to the Tennessee and North
Carolina Railroad is not an issue here
but apart from that it is certain that
the revision of the rates proposed was
made at the suggestion of the owners
of that property which are in Compel
tftion with other operators in this ter
titory and the record discloses a SER
1ous charge OF discrimination in favor

Culture Legumes in Demand,

Orders are pouring in on the state
department Of agriculture for culture
legumes for incubation lands with
peas, cloVers, vetches and other leg
Cnes that are so largely taking the
place of nitrate of soda in farm land
improvement. One order received
from a single farmer was for enough
to inoculate 600 acres of land and he
wrote that he proposed to put 400
acres Of this in crimson clover early
IN September. This order is made by
Il. V. Pate of Laurel HILL
Although there are in hand orders
10 rculture sufficient to inoculate 1,439
acres. 1t is supplied by the depart
ment at actual cost, which is so cents

VINO ls IN charge of the manufacture
-of this culture for the department., is
Just getting in order one Of the most
complete laboratories for it's manufac-
lure to be found anywhere IN the
country. The laboratory will within a
lew days be in operation to its utmost
capacity, which will, it is thought be
equal to the demands in this state for
some time to come. The charge of so
cents for sufficient culture TO inocu-
late one acre means a great saving
