IOWA RAILROAD COMMISSION
ASKS CO. OPERATION IN NOV.
ING CROPS.
POINTS OUT six WAYS
TO ASSIST RAILROADS
Suggests Loading Of All Grain Cars to
Maximum, Capacity, Use Of All Cars
Within Twenty-four Hours After
Receipt, and Unloading Promptly on
Receipt.

Des Moines, Sept l5.-The TO,1arail-
road commission yesterday issued a
call to Iowa shippers to cooperate
with the railroads in keeping cars
moving during the car shortage.
Six ways TO aid in preventing con-
gestion of :raffic. are contained in the
statement which follows:
During the winter of 1865 the
country as a whole experienced very
severe car shortage due principally to
the decentralization Of terminal and
storage facilities at the eastern sea-
board owing to the unprecedented de-
mands caused by the European war
and the lack of vessels in which to
ship. Because OF crop conditions IN
lowe, this shortage was not so seri-
cusiy felt In this state as in some OF
the surrounding states. The condi"
lions at this time are very different.
The crop outlook is good which of 1t
self in normal times tends to produce
a shortage of equipment unless the ut
most care and cooperation is exer-
cised by the railroads and shippers;
and the conditions at the seaboard are
very little. II any better than formerly.
A car shortage benefits no one-on the
contrary 1t is a decided hindrance to
all forms of business and may produce
actual suffering for lack Of equipment
to ship sufficient quantities of neces-
stiles For these reasons the l2wa
railroad commission most urgently
recommends that the following sug-
gestions he rigidly observed:
"First-All cars, with especial refer
ence to grain cars. should be loaded to
maximum capacity. This will mater
ially increase the maximum capacity
of car equipment.
"Second-No box cars should be or
dered which will not be used within
twenty-four hours after they are fur
nished.
"Third = Consignees should unload
promptly on receipt of loaded cars.
.Fourth-Carriers should place cars
promptly for loading and unloading. \
"Fifth-Carriers should pick, up cars
on first available train after shipping
orders are given.
sixth - Carriers should move cars
expeditiously after they are placed in
trains.
while it may not be possible to en-
tirely avoid a shortage of cars during
the coming months, the commission
believes that if the above recommen-
dations are faithfully followed, the
shortage will be materially reduced.
In order to do this. the strittest and
heartiest cooperation must be prac-
ticed between the carriers and the
shippers"

WATCH OUT FOR SOW THISTLE.
One Of canada's Most Feared Weeds
Annaars in Mitcheil County,

One OF Canada's MOST r cared "eeos
Appears in Mitchell County.
Regarded as one OF the most PERM
cious weeds Of Canada, sample OF
the SOW thistle. sometimes known as
the Creeping Sow thistle, has recently
been sent to L. H. Pammel, botanist
at Iowa State College, for identified
ton from a farmer in Mitchell county.
who. states that it occurs in large num-
bers on his farm.
The thistle is deep rooted peren-
NAL, with large, vigorous running
roots. stem with milky juice and bright
yellow flowers
There is nothing that-the farmers OF
Saskatchewan and Manitoba fear more
than this sow thistle and everything
should be done to exterminate it in
Iowa at once" says DR.. Pammel.
The method suggested is to pillow the
field as soon as possible after the crops
are removed and plow frequently with
broad shared cultivator This method
of treatment should be kept up until
frost and early spring. Plow and SOW
with some thick growing crop as
millet, sorghum or rape.

STANDARDS FOR CORN.
Secretary of Agriculture Establishes
U. S, Standards For Shelled Corn.

w. S. Standards For Shelled Corn.
The official grain standards Of the
United States for shelled corn, TO be-
come effective on and after Dec. J.,
1916 were fixed and established Sept.
l. 1916, by the secretary Of agriculture
under the authority contained in the
United States grain standards act,
which became law Aug. II. 1916. The
use Of these standards after they he
come effective is required for shele,'
corn shipped from any point in the
United States in interstate or foreign
commerce and sold offered for sale. or
consigned for sale by grade. The act,
however. permits the interstate or for
eign shipment of grain sold by sample
or type under any description which is
not false or misleading and does not
include any of the terms Of the official
grain standards. ......
The standards for shelled corn p-o-
mulgated today are, with the exception
of slight changes. substantially the
same as the permissive standards for
such grain promulgated by the acting
secretary of agriculture Jan. 3. 1914.
to take effect on July I, 1914, These
standards already lad been accepted
voluntarily by many OF the leading
grain exchanges -
The only important changes from
the old standards are the addition Of
a test weight to grades No / and No.
. for all colors Of corn and The suhsti
tuition OF one testing Green with uni
holes fourteen sixty -fourths Of an inch
10 diameter for the two screens, enc
nine sixty -fourths and the other six :
teen sixty fourths as required in the
old standards.

About Fall Pius,

More fall pigs can be raised in Iowa
with profit-but it is well to market
them in April. says the animal hus-
bandry department at Iowa State Col
lege.
September fall pigs rightly handled
may be made to weigh better than 22a
pounds. a handy. demanded weight, by
April of the following year. 1t is be-
ing done.
simple ration of corn. meat meal
tankage and skim milk or huttermilk
is excellent. Allow rock salt at free
will. Feed all feeds according to the
free choice system, that is. put each
in compartment and let the pigs eat
at will. Oats for fall pigs do not pay
if one has plenty of meat meal tank
age and milk or plenty of either.
With 70-cent corn the Iowa station
has made gains on fall pigs for s5.14
per hundred spounds. This compares
favorably to spring pig costs.
return of s1.1O bushel of corn
after crediting other feeds. when hogs
sell at SIS. makes a fine showing for the
fall pig and for the free choice system
of swine feeding.
Why not feed some fall pigs as out
