Washington, Nov. 2S.-Government
operation Of railways, il the pooling
plan does not afford relief from the
present situation, was being considered
here today as the committee Of vice
presidents of eastern lines gathered to
perfect general plans to put the pool
ing arrangements into effect.
Congressional action would be neces-
sary X government operations were to
be decided upon. but that has been
discussed by officials who have been
considering what steps are necessary
If pooling plans would not relieve the
congestion. The operating committee
Of vice presidents met today with the
war board to work out details Of the
plan Of pooling trackage and equipment
OF the eastern lines. They expected to
announce a general plan Of operation
later. Adopted as the most practical
suggestion advanced tn pooling opera
ton will be conducted by the railroads

SOFT CORN MAKES GOOD FEED.
II Has More Moisture But it Makes
Gains.

That hogs make gains On soft corn
just as quick as on dry corn. but that
more tankage will be eaten during the
time the feeding Is going on, was one
OF the results OF an experiment carried
on by the Iowa experiment station.
One pen OF hogs fed a good grade OF
dry corn made an average gain OF 1.5S
pounds for a period OF l0S days. An
other on new soft corn gained l.oi
pounds daily. For 100 pounds Of gain
with the old corn pigs it required 426
pounds Of corn and EOS pounds Of meat
meal tankage. The new corn pigs ate
1912 ponds Of corn and 32.2 pounds OF
taukage The total amount of feed was
thus 446.s pounds for the dry corn
hogs and 1926 pounds for the soft
corn hogs.
These figures were based on the &C
tual amount of dry matter. There is
IA per cent of moisture in average
corn. much old corn is as low as 10
per cent, while much OF the soft corn
will run as high as so per cent. A bushel
of Sc pounds Of shelled corn, If it con-
tains 10 per cent moisture, will contain
50.4 pounds of dry mhatter, but only %
pounds of dry matter If it is so per
cent moisture soft corn. This means
that measured in ordinary bushels,
more soft corn will be needed to make
the gains.
These gains were made with the
self-feeder. A good way to feed soft
corn is to self-feed on concrete plat
form. II frozen enough it can be shell
ed and settled in a feeder. In all feed
ing opera tons with soft corn, the hogs
should be fed in a warm place and
under sanitary conditions. Pigs that
are fed out in the open, where the cold
winds chill them, will be inclined to
huddle in their nests instead of eating.

RAISE VALUABLE CROP.
Two Men Raise 100 Bushels Of Beans
on Ten Acres.

One hundred sixty bushels Of beans.
which represent $1,000 in U. S. cur
rency at the present market prices,
were raised on ten acre tract of land
owned by H. NJ. Shively northwest OF
Perry this summer. Mr.. Shively and
Howard Moody were interested in the
venture jointly and their efforts have
met with success.
The culture of beans was something
of an experiment for the men, but 1t
proved to be a paying one, in spite OF
the fact that they had much to learn
and considerable expense which they
will not have another year. A tract OF
1OA acres was planted last spring ana
it averaged about Is bushels to the
acre. The beans are of fine quality ana
have found ready market at $40 per
bushel. They required considerable
care and attention but when the
th-eshing was completed the returns
more than justified the time and
money spent.

quotations ranging from s1.40 for "cool
and sweet to so cents for hot and
decayed." He told how farmer came

$500 bushels for sale, mentioned tele-

ing 10 put II thru that price when
word was received from the food de-
partment that the machinery Of that
department was now in operation 10

corn and oats the preference. Oats
broke sharply, and. as they had been
the principal support to corn, the latter
sympathized and the active delivery
promptly lost about cents. The
weather outlook is better, and, with
more cars available. a period of &C
emulation at terminal markets is not
far distant
Oats-New record levels were made
in oats early today but after the break
above referred to, the May delivery
was lower than last night, while the
December showed a small advance.
Country offerings increased somewhat
on today's bulge. Based on present
prices of futures oats are selling at
a higher price per pound than corn.
Stocks-There was a less optimistic
feeling in the securities market. The

ties, there IS unquestioraoly long

The best demand Is for heifers and

better range cattle will be hard to hnd.
These cattle are Of course thin due to

Thousands Of these cattle are going
