Definition of what his committees will strive to accomplish to relieve the pres- ent acute situation caused by the car shortage was the substance of a speech by H. E.

 The objects sought, MT. Hutchens de- clared, to be to reduce accumulations, to administer embargoes, to regulate car supply, to promote intensive loading, to obtain comprehensive cooperation and to otherwise assist the commission on car service.

 MIR. SCHWAB'S PREDICTION
 Shortly before Charles NJ schwab ap- peared as a witness fin the proceedings brought by the government for the dis- solution of the United States Steel c0po- ration, he vas quoted as having said that the corporation in normal times ought to earn not loss than $300,000 900 a year. Mir. Schwab's testimony was regarded as Of the highest value. because he, as pres ident of one of the greater industries occupied in the manufacture of iron and steel products was presumed to be brought in one way or another in com petition with the United States Steel cor poration. But his intimation was that there was business enough in the United States in normal times for all the steel and iron industries, and that while a certain amount of reasonable competi- ton might be inevitable, nevertheless that would serve to stimulate instead of to restrain trade. MT. Schwab's view was understood to be that of all of the great forces who are occupied with the iron and steel industry, and who are in control of corporations that are abso- lutely independent of the United States Steel corporation.

SUMTER FARMER
 BEATS THE WEEWL
Despite the Pest and Floods He Makes 15 Bales Cot
 ton on 30 Acres

Auburn, May 29-(Special)-A proni nent farmer of Sumter county last year made 15 bales of cotton on 30 acres of land in spite of the July floods and heavy boil weevil infestation. As this was in q section where the cotton crop was gen. erally failure, and as the soil of that part of Sumter county is stiff and espe- cially favorable to Q fight against boil weevil, Prof J. F. Duggar, director of Alabama extension service, asked the farmer to state his methods, for the ben eft of other farmers who are fighting the boil weevil. In response to this re- quest the following statement was re- ceived, which considering the extrerelv unfavorable conditions last year. is most encouraging for those who employ the best cultural methods against the boil weevil during the next two months.
 About April ,, 1916," says this corre- spondent who desires that name be with held, T planted Cook improved cotton on sandy land with clay subsoil. land which I have been building up for sev- eral years.
 q began picking the weevils when the cotton came up and after the squares appeared picked both weevils and punc- tured squares. This was kept up until July 5, when the storm came Not A boil was made after the storm.
 This land was plowed about every IC days or two weeks. The squares were picked as often as every six days, wet and dry weather. In fact most of the picking was done during wet weather when I could not do anything else.
 This cotton averaged five to six feet when the storm came, and the wind blew down every stalk of it. I strengthened 1t up but some stalks were broken of I believe if it had not been for this storm would have gotten three-fourths of a bale to the acre, as the storm did much more damage than the weevil
 q think we can raise cotton if we reduce the acreage, plant early, pick the weevil and cultivate often''

Japan's Minister of Finance
 Explains the Flow of Gold

Tokio, May 29--The heavy movement of gold from the United States to Japan was explained today by <azue Shoda, minister of finance, as being due prin- cipally to the fact that the indebted : ness of Great Britain and France to Ja- pan is being paid partly through Amer ica. M. Shoda revealed the fact that Japan,is now negotiating with Great Brit ain and France with the purpose of mak- ing war loans to them while private Jan anese concerns are planning the purchase of British and French securities held in the United States. These operations will reduce the outflow of American gold and relieve the burden of Japans accumulat- ing supplies.
