CORN CLUB PRIZES
offered FOR 1915
Scholarships and Cash Given by H. G.
Hastings in Georgia and
Other States

Atlanta, Especial. Corn club
prizes for Southern boys in Georgia
and nine other corn growing states Of
this section, have been renewed for
1916 by II. G. Hastings, general chair
man Of the Georgia corn show COM
mittee and chairman Of the Agricul-
tural Committee of the Atlanta Cham
Ter Of Commerce. The prizes amount
in all to $1,000, in cash and scholar
ships, and viii be awarded under the
direction of the government corn club
agents in each state.
In Georgia there are three prizes;
a one-year course with all expenses
paid, amounting to $3.50, in the State
College of Agriculture at Athens; a
second cash prize of $780, and a third
cash prize of $40 Last year the Geor-
gia scholarship prize was won by Cor
don Lee Hasty, of Walker county, with
14S bushels and As pounds to an acre.
His success was noteworthy exam
pie Of perseverance, as it was the
third year he had tried for the prize.
In Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and
South Carolina, Mr.. Hastings offers
scholarships according to local ar
rangement.
The great educational value and
constructive force of the corn club
contests, in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn production, are emphasized in an
interview given out by Mr.. Hastings
in connection with his announcement
Of prizes.
"The interest now being taken in
corn production, by the federal gov
eminent, by state officials, by leading
organizations and individuals says
Mr.. Hastings, SIS, in my opinion, the
greatest constructive force now oper=
alive in agricultural affairs in Amer
lea. For too long the tendency Of edu-
cation in the rural schools was to
draw boys away from the farm, but
the corn clubs are now combining
with true agricultural education to in
fiuence the boys to form new ideas
and new ideals Of farm life. The corn
club work is growing In value and i'm

RAILROADS EXPLAIN
FREIGHT RATE CHANGES

+r;hnted to the commercial and In
dustrial development of the interior
sontb and. while they resulted In
more frequent departures from the
long and short haul principle Of the
Iaw the carriers had every reason
70 believe that their practice had the
approval Of the public, even when It
was not directly the result Of puD-
lie demand.
Now, the Interstate Commerce
commission, pursuant to the require
ments Of an amended law, has con-
cluded an enquiry into rates from
the eastern seaboard, including the
Virginia cities, from south Atlantic
and gulf ports, and from ONO ana
Mississippi river crossings, into the
southeast and Mississippi valley ter
ritorv AS result the commission
has in large measure condemned ex-
listing departures from the long and
short haul requirement, except where
justified by competition beyond the
control Of the rail carriers, phase
which came to be restricted TO meamE
direct or indirect water compet1tlon-H
Obviously, the removal of nequad-k
ties condemned by the commission
by reductions only, would result IN
disaster to the carriers. This fact
is recognized by the cemmissions
which, in its review Of the situation.
stated:
ut is entirely clear that the Feve-E
nues Of a large percentage OF theE
lines in the southeastern territory
would be SO impaired by such a pro-
cedure as to make it impossible fOrl
them to meet their operating ex-
/ penses, taxes and fixed charges andl
leave their stockholders even mod
crate return"
1t is equally obvious that it would
be unfair to punish the carriers, inE
conforming to a. changed publieE
Ipolicy, for acts which at the ttDEeE
of commission were approved by pub-
lie opinion.
Hence in working out the order
J. of the commission such elevation Of
rates to the depressed points must
accompany reductions to, the much
larger number of intermediate points
as win at least preserve the revenues
of the carriers.
The task of revision is ne easy one.
It has been undertaken in loyal eff
fort to conform to the law, as now
interpreted, and to be fair to oil.
+ Departures from the long and short
haul principle in the south are not
confined to interstate traffic. There
are in the south great many intra-
state rates that do not conform to
the principle. If undue discrimina-
lions are to be avoided, these intra-
state rates/must be brought into hav~
mony with the revised interstate @ds
i iustment being made under the di-
rection of the Interstate Commerce
commission. 1t is the purpose OF the
] railways OF. the south to take up each
. interstate revision with the several
. state railroad commissions.

To the People Served BY the Rail-
roads Of the South:
An order Of the Interstate Com
merce commission, pursuant to re-
quirements 81 Federal law, compelsl
d general revision Of Southern freight
rates. It IS proper that the people
Of the south should be Informed as
to the reasons Tor this revision and
tie principles upon which it is be-
ing made.
Excepting the Norfolk & Western,
chesapeake & Ohio and Virginian
railways. which lie in official CLASH
fcation territory, the railroads Of the
southeast receive virtually no part of
the five per cent increase in rates re-
Gently acquiesced in by the Interstate
Commerce commission. While the
need of the carriers of the south for
increased revenue is certainly no less
than is that Of the northern and east
ern roads, that need is in no way
related to the revision of rates now
In progress which arises solely from
the necessity of more nearly con-
forming to the so-called ''long and
short haul clause" of the law as
amended in 1910, and as now con-
strued by the Interstate Commerce
commission.
The original act to regulate COM
merce forbade the making of lower
rates for longer than for shorter
distance within the same line or route
under substantially the same cir
cumstanees and conditions. The car
riers were free to meet competition
as they found it and were required
to answer only upon complaint as to
the reasonableness of their acts.
The amendment of 1910 deprived
the carriers of the right to initiate
departures frona the long and short
haul requirement, and they may no
longer meet competition as they find
it if the long and short haul re-
cuirement Of the law is involved, I'M
less they can first obtain tie approval
4 Of the Interstate Commerce com
mission.
They were furthermore required
by this change in The law, to apply
to the commission for authority tC
continue in force rates existing at the
time of its passage which contrayenet

Water competition, the nest i'm
