ing explanation of the traffic com mittee arrangements was made:
 "The director general invites the CO., operation of the shipping public in working out satisfactory adjustment of freight rates on the higher level now necessary. All shippers who de- sire to make suggestion as to the maintenance of differentials or the re- adjustment of freight rates under gen. eral order No. 2S, may present their views through the freight traffic of- ficers of the railroads serving them; but if shippers feel, after presenting such matters to their own roads, that they want their views given further consideration. the freight committee for the territory or district involved will be glad to hear and consider any proposal or suggestion the shippers have to offer"
 For the eastern district. including territory north of thes Ohio and Po- tomac and east of the Mississippi, complaints or suggestions for freight rate notifications should be sent to E. Campbell. chairman of the eastern freight traffic committee. New York.
 SOUTHERN DISTRICT
 For the south. complaints to Randall Clifton. chairman of the southern freight traffic committee, Atlanta, Georgia.
 For the territory west of the Missis- sippi rcadjustment questions will be handled by the Western freight traffic committee, of which A. c. Johnson, Transportation building, Chicago, is chairman
 It was explained today that the new rates apply to short lines only so long as they are under government control and that as fast as they are relinquished by the railroad administration, ln creased charges will cease to apply, ex- cept as to joint rates with trunk lines. Consequently the roads will be called on to apply to the interstate commerce commission for increases in their local srates if they desire them.
 Hundreds of protests against the in- crease and suggestions for local modti- cation have been received and tabulate'i by the railroad administration. They will be referred to the local and dis trict freight traffic committee.

Make every effort to get good pedi-
gree rye threshed in time for seed.
Plant little more rye than ever this
year. It is one step toward winning
the war. Plant your rye early in a
well prepared seed bed. Early plant
ed rye that gets good start in the
fall has a better chance to resist win
ter killing. 1t will also mature a lit
tie earlier next year so that at harv-
est time it will not be so apt to inter
fere with the harvesting of other
small grains. Nothing but pedigreed
rye should be used If there is ergot
which is a sort of smut disease in rye
be sure that you use the brine treat
ment.
