SAVE PLENTY OF SEED
 OATS AND WHEAT.
Dean Martin Nelson.

Arkansas farmers in the past have been too dependent upon seed oats and seed wheat from sources outside the State because many cut their entire crop for hay and save no seed. No greater mistake could be made this year because economic conditions de- mand that oats and wheat growers rave seed so that an abundant supply will be available for fall. late winter and spring seeding.
 A greater acreage of wheat, rye and winter oats will probably be planted this fall than ever before. Certainly it is to be preferred that all fields be planted from seed grown under south ern conditions. Seed locally grown and from a variety which has made good" is positively preferable to an unknown supply.

Whether you earn your daily bread

daily use of your muscle, or by tasks

method OF complying with the CON-
missions order of last June S0th re-
qgiring that these rates to interme-
date points should bear the same re-
latiOn to terminals. as class rates to
intermediate points bear TO the termi-
nal rates. The commission found.
however. that business would be I'M
duly disturbed by the change.
The Southern Pacific railroad con-
pleted the question by proposing TO
establish low rates on twenty-four
specified commodities by water from
New York TO Galveston and by rail to
the Pacific coast This the commiss-
ion refused 10 permit. unless all COM
moditieS were included in the prefer
entail list Previously, however. the
railroad had stated that lack of ton
mage prevented the application of
these rates TO all shipments.
A similar proposal OF other roads 10
maintain low rates to the coast by way
of water shipment from Norfolk TO
Galveston. in order to compete with
the Southern Pacific's proposed prac-
tice, also was rejected.
Another Increase Allowed
The commission allowed an increase
of about 40 percent on through rates
to the Pacific coast for export, apply
ing to iron and steel articles. machin-
cry, railroad equipment and other ma
terials. The rates apply principally
from Chicago and points west of there
A smaller increase on imported ship
ments was permitted A number OF
rates involved in the decision today
are under investigation By the com
mission, which reserved the right to
order specific changes in the future.
The decision of the commission was
forecast in a degree by its previous
action in giving the roads permission
TO file the proposed higher rate tariffs
In a decision last June the rule was
esta bIished that the difference in the
rates between coast and inter-moun-
tain cities should be removed, but left
open the question OF whether the
through rates should be raised or the
intermediate rates lowered The roads
chose the former course and in Octob-
er asked to file tariffs embOdying the
higher rates The commission permit
ted this. and the action was interpret
ed as indicating a favorable attitude
toward the increase
