MISSOURI PACIFIC

Makes Reduction of Rates Which

The Missouri Pacific has put one
over on the other railroads that are
competitors for the Kansas and Mis-
souri, passenger business from
Omaha. IL has cut the rates from
Omaha to Kansas and Missouri
points and from these points into
Omaha. Its competitors are trying
to figure out how this was done. but
IL was done, and all day the city Of
flee in Omaha has been selling
straight commercial tickets at a cut
of very close to Il cent per mile.
Two days ago the local office re-
ceived a new passenger rate tariff, a
tariff issued from the general Of
fices at st. Louis February 20. This
tariff provided for the reduction of
rates and bore the announcement
that the rates would be effective

SOME INTERESTING FACTS AS TO AMERI.
CAN FARM PRODUCTION.

What makes up the production Of the average
American farm, and in what proportion? This
interesting question is in measure answered
by figures furnished the bureau Of crop esti-
mates in the department of agriculture Ten
thousand correspondents, widely scattered have
reported what they sold in the way of farm prods
ucts in an ordinary year. For statistical pur-
poses, the production ia classified into crops
live animals, animal products-such as butter.
milk and eggs-and miscellaneous items which
do not fall exactly within any Of the other three
classifications.
Taking the nation as a whole. every hundred
dollars worth of farm products includes, on an
average, forty dollars of crops, thirty-sx dol
lars of live animals, twenty dollars of animal
items This indicates that the average Ameri-
can farmer is more and more adopting the
shrewd practice of selling his output in the most
finished form. Less than half the average out
put, IL will be seen. is sold in unfinished form
as crops. Considerably more than half is IMAM
ufactured" to the further stage where il can be
classified animals or animal products. This
is good farming. The crop sold direct in most
instances represents some depletion of the soil
The farmer who converts a large portion of his
crops into animals or animal products maintains
and in most instances improves his soil values.
OF course, the proportions vary for different
sections of the country In the cotton belt, each
hundred dollars worth included seventy-five
dollars in crops, fourteen dollars live animals,
seven dollars animal products and four dollars
miscellaneous. In New York out Of each hun
dred fifty-three dollars was animal products,
fourteen dollars live animals, twenty dol
lars crops and six dollars miscellaneous In Yer
mont only ten dollars out of the hundred repre-
scented crops. Iowa made a good showing with
sixty-three dollars live animals, twelve dollars
animal products and twenty-five dollars crops.

PORK BARREL STATESMEN ARE STILL
VERY MUCH IN EVIDENCE.

IL is everybody's business TO be interested in
what the congress Of the United States is doing
OF course, few can follow all its moves in detail
but all can come TO pretty accurate conclusion
Of its tendencies by watching for results. Just
now preparedness is the big live issue. But IL
is being becouded by the Unsuitable appetite of
many congressman for what is generally termed
pork" or appropriation for the development Of
various streams and creeks ito aid commerce.
but in most instances merely TO induce congress
TO spend money in a congressman's district TO
enable him 90 show his constituents how good
a congressman he is There is a huge demand
for pork in this congress- and as IL probably
would be nadvisabe 10 eXpend large sums on II
and on preparedness at the same time, one or the
other has TO suffer. II is likely the preparedness
will suffer.
Chairman Stephen NJ. Sparkman of the rivers
and harbors committee is framing another river
and harbor pork bill. one of greater dimensions
than ever before. II Is TO be for forty-siX million
dollars and he believes IL will be passed. The
last congress, ut time when the pork barrel
was an unpopular institution among press and
public, appropriated lump sum Of thirty mil
lion dollars for rivers and harbors, and inserted
in the sundry civil bills twenty-seven million
dollars for the same purpose. Most Of the money
was TO be wasted on projects OF no permanent
value.
People do not object TO internal improvements
of a bona fide character, but the present system
is wasting millions in money, and finds no de-
tenders except congressman and the isolated
sections who benefit through government money
being put in circulation" in the vicinity.

Four billion acres of land are owned in the
United States. OF this vast number, fully four
hundred million acres of arabic land is not used,
according TO the secretary of agriculture With
people owning so much unused land and mil
lions ready to till it if they could get at it, there
is something radically wrong with the system
that develops such conditions. 1t is within the
law, of course, but something should be done TO
encourage increased agriculture. The Sun does
not believe so much land is being held for specu-
lation exclusively though undoubtedly large
proportion of it is held merely "for rise"
Either the secretary of agriculture is wrong or
something else is wrong.
