School is out--for nearly year-for
farmers and their wives who attended
the twelfth annual farmers week con-
ference that closed at noon today. The
last of the visitors started for their
homes after spending four days study
ing agricultural lore within the classic
walls of state College. Eager as they
were TO learn about modern farming
methods, they departed still moro eager
to put into practice the information
they had CLEANED from lecturers who
talked on 170 topics of the farm.
Vegetable forcing IS one of the
favorite subjects with Dean Watts, head
of the states agricultural school. and
he held the farmers attention when he
discussed the outlook in that industry
for this winter.

slogan that the railroads shall not be
hrned b lck to private ownership, the
brotherhood leaders arc planning legis-
lation to clear the way. The 'abor eie-
ment in Congress is lining up for the
fray.
Railroad executives are afraid that
public ownership will grow from the
present situation. But they admitted
their in ibility to cope with the problem
facing them before and urged upon the
President Federal control to prevent
complete collapse of the privately op-
Grated regime.
Should ownership eventually come by
act of Congress the Government Will be
ready. even TO the point of having es-
tablished reasonable compensation for
the roads. Eighteen hundred men are
now at work throughout the country es-
| tablishing the physical valuation OF
different roads. Work has been COM
pleted on six lines.
VALUATION IDEAS CONFLICT
| In valuation hearings constantly being
/ held by the commss on two conflicting
| plans have been disclosed. The railroads
/ seek the highest value, the railway
| brotherhoods the lowest. The latter
will consent only to paying the private
| owners "the total amount of money on
| which the carrier is entitled to earn q
return under the provisions of its char
ter"
The railroads today would ask s20.-
600, ,OOO, 900 compensation II the Gov
ernipent decided to own the lines per-
manently.

The brotherhoods' demands for higher
wages are intimately associated will

ownership. In the vicious circle,
around which the employees say they ar,
constantly running to obtain higher pay
and the railroads higher freight rates
the employees are generally pictured a
