McAdoo Replies To Private
Ownership Railroad Critics

freight rates did not go into effect I'M

AT THE SAME TINE AS THE
WAGE INCREASES. T f r +,
WOULD HAVE BEEN NO DEFICIT.
They also forget hat the govern
ment took over the roads when they
were completely paralyzed and when
the greatest congestion of traffic In
their history was apo them. 1t cost
the government millions OF dollars to
clear up the congestion and get the
railroads running again efficiently.
They also forget that blizzard fol-
lowed blizzard, and that 1t cost much
money to overcome their effects,
They forget, too, h a the price OF
coal, of steel and of other supplies was
These added expenses all would have

ued under private control, and, TO pay
for them. rates would have had to be
Increased. Private operation the last
year would have failed utterly, and
the deficit would have beer greater
perhaps. than under government
management.
Under eac conditions, and with a
period Of five years OF federal control
assured, il should be possible TO main
tain existing wages and working con-
ditions and to effect such economies
that reductions in rates, both passen-
ger and freight, ought to follow within
n reasonable time. Unqucstioned econ
omies can be effected under unified
control. Already, the extra charge OF
one-half cent a mile for riding in
sleeping cars, imposed as q war meas
ure. has been removed, and other re-
strictions enforced by the war are
rapidly disappearing.
No disaccommodation will result to
the travelling or shipping public by
the extension of the period of federal
control. The question merely Is
whether return to private control can
be obtained under existing conditions
within twenty-one months, and
whether. even IL hat were possible
the roads could be operated success
fully, economically and satisfactorily
pending the decision by congress and
the country, and especially with the
1920 presidential camapign approach
ing.
Neither contingency being possible
in my Judgment, I see no escape from
the conclusion hat either the period
OF federal control must be extended
for five years or the railroads must
be restored to private control in the
near future, to take their chances un-
der the old laws which governed
them prior to the assumption OF con-
troll by the government.

for the visit Of the thresher. The
standing straw may be burned as It Is
or ploughed under. In many Of the
Western States. especially those west
Of the Rocky Mountains, where the
climate permits dry farming on a gil
gantic scale. there are so called com
bines," that is, machines which snap
off the heads OF the wheat stalks and
thresh them out at the same time
On the vast farms OF the States Of
Washington and Oregon, the combines
driven by steam tractors or by gaso-
lone or kerosene tractors traverse the
level plain and leave in their wake the
threshed grain which only a few mo-
ments before was waving in the stalk.
This method is only possible where the
wheat Is thoroughly ripe. The COM
bine is used at times on wheat more
or less green. but this entails a loss
In Kansas, machines Of all three Of
these types may be seen working along
within sight Of each other. their task
being adapted to the state Of the
standing crops. A binder is good for
from ten to twenty acres a day: a
header for twenty to thirty; a horse
combine. twenty-five to forty-five
acres. while a tractor combine can
cover from rs to 125 acres in that
period
The great factor in the work. how
ever. is in the we'll trained men OF the
Army Of the Harvest. They go to
their task because they love 1t. The
more they declare they don't. the more
they do. as a general thing.

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-08

The kind OF harvesting the hosts of
the field do in Kansas calls for all
types OF work and the latest ma
chinery. When the cry goes up for the
best harvest hands available Kansas
always gets the first choice.
In the olden days when men used
scythe and sickle, the cost Of harvest
ing was fully one-fifth of the value OF
the entire crop. In these times Of
efficiency. thanks to the land army,
the expenses of the ingathering is
small as compared with the prices of
the grain. even though labor is high.
The farmers of the wheat belt are
helped to reap and thresh in an eco
nomical way by the contractors who
own heavy harvesting machinery and
travel about with veteran crews from
south to north. One OF these contrac.
tors closed his season last autumn in
Manitoba and since he had left north
ern Texas in the early spring he had
cleared $4,000 in cold cash by the
warmest kind OF work. At the same
time he was paying the highest wages
to his highly efficient crew which
manned his giant thresher.
Reapins and ThreshinE at Once.
The harvesting is usually done with
reaper and binder in the wheat coun.
try, the customary charge being So an
acre. This machine cuts the grain
and disposes OF 1t in neat sheaves,
which in the course Of a few days get
the attention Of the travelling thresh-
ers. There are also headers" that

tops OF the stalks and pile them I'D

them say, well, this is my good-by
season, all right. This is the last time
I'm going to sweat my heart out at
this business. believe me-"
Why, they have been talking like
that for ten or fifteen years or more,
and they won't quit for many q year
to come.
The running OF big thresher Is. a
Job for real men. and that is where
the seasoned veterans come in for
their own. The feeders. the stackers,
the leaders. the engineers and the
bosses are adopts at their trade. There
is not much farm labor anywhere that
can compete with these quick moving.
keen witted men who are the pick of
tho best They get on an average of
IS day and keep, and when the sea-
son is on they work the full seven
days the week. but that doesn't in
terfere with their ability to Guido three
times the work of ordinary men. At
cents a bushel, which was the pre-
vailing rate last season. the thresher
bosses were able to make large profits,
owing to the fine team work OF the
hands. The crews gain by having as
recruits bright and strong college
men. Some OF these youths are from
the agricultural schools and are roam
ing about getting a practical farm
education. while there are many ath-
letes from the best universities who
are glad OF this chance to earn money
for their expenses. II it came to a
test the average thresher crew could
hold out against the best football
teams on the gridiron.

as 1t may even in harvest time. they
are we'll content. When there are
signs of bad weather in the offing for
the next day, many thresher crews
work at night by reflected light. One
OF the sights of the middle West, where
electric current may be obtained, is a
thresher driven by a motor at a rapid
rate, while the field is illuminated by
a powerful arc.
The crews are TO be found in July
in such wheat States as Nebraska,
Iowa, the middle Western States Of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and in Min
nesota and Wisconsin. and the States
of the Pacific slope. At this time New
York and Pennsylvania and the East
ern States and New England as well
arc having their wheat harvest, but the
conditions are somewhat different.
What Land Can Grow.
In the quick action reaping COM
bined with threshing on the spot the
extreme Western States hold the palm
and II Is there that they Jof the outfits
are the happiest. The yields in some
of these Pacific States are phenomenal,
as for instance. one field of eighteen
acres in the State of Washington Is
credited with producing 1T bushels to
the acre. The average for the whole
wheat lands Of the United States
which is drawn down by the poor re-
turns from used UP farms. Is only
fourteen bushels to the acre. There
is Joy written on the faces OF the old
time harvest hands when they get into
such territory as that in Washington
The pleased rumble OF their pooled
grumbles may be heard for many a rod
"Never saw such land as this" you
can hear them growl. Work a man
to death! Now this is the limit I'm
out Of 1t after day like this. cul. and
-say-now this is what I call real
wheat farming. But this place holds
the worlds record, eh?"
The month Of August finds veteran
crews OF threshers in North Dakota
and South Dakota. These are the great
spring wheat States. for North Dakota
usually produces a hundred millions
of bushels of the spring variety and
her southerly sister seventy million
The reaping and binding is going on
late in August often and 1t Is not I'M
usual to see threshing on the Dakotas
in November and even in December.

is not camoufiaged. Soon the wheat
moves into the sacks in rapid streams
The crew Is usually up at o'clock
IN the morning. and as 1t sleeps on the
straw alongside the thresher II does
not take many minutes for II to get
into action. Breakfast is over by at
the latest, and It Is meal which would
make most OF US torpid as anacondas

some such knickknack-as many eggs
as desired, pile OF cakes or bread and
several cups Of coffee. and the man Is
ready for a work day in the Kansas
wheat fields. For dinner there Ia
again plenty OF meat, either beef or
pork. carloads of potatoes and vege-

ways cold meat. and generally fried
potatoes. not forgetting cake and fruit
and tea and coffee. II preferred.
The farmer usually provides the
meals or rather the farmers wife
does and the board is considered as
part OF the pay. Some OF the crews
have their own cook wagon, the sides
of which can be let down. so as to
make shelves which serve as tables
before which they stand when shovel
ling in the provender. Often a mess
tent is provided alongside the travel
ling kitchen.
when night comes the crews roll
