What the III. C.. of l..
Has Done to Road
Earnings in 1919
F. HI. Fayant Says Govern
ment Guarantee Is Only
Thing That Keeps Car
riers From Bankruptcy

An early readjustment of freight
rates to the new level Of operating
costs is inevitable, according to Frank
II. Fayant, assistant to the chairman
of the Association of Railway Execu-
tives, who, in an analysis of the 1919
railway earnings to June l. states that
the high cost of living" has raised
railroad operating costs for labor and
materials and cut deep into net income.
Mr.. Fayant declares that. the yield on
the $4,000 100000 of railroad invest-'
ment has fallen to about 21a per cent
as the danger line in 1914 by the In
terstate Commerce Commission. The
government war guarantee of income
alone stands between the carriers and
bankruptcy, he asserts.
"Commodity prices, as reflected in
the government index number" Mr..
Fayant says, have risen 100 per cent
since the beginning of the war. In the
same period railroad wage rates have
advanced So per cent. The average unit
Of railroad labor and materials has ad-
vanced 90 per cent as result of the
war"
Unit cost of operation has been kept
down because of the steadily increas-
ing efficiency of the transportation
machine, according to Mr.. Fayant. and
ne says this is best seen in the growth
Of the freight trainload.
Trainload Increased
''In the last three years of company
operation the average trainload was
increased from 452 to 597 tons, or 80
rcr cent" he continues. Last year
i was raised to 625 tons, a further
gain of 3 per cent, or total of 172
fAa
OF the war The steady gain in
operating economy has kept operating
costs from rising as rapidly as prices
or labor and labor products, and the
actual cost OF producing transporta-
ton mas probably risen about 80 per
cent"
Mr. Fayant says that during the
same period the rates charged for car
rying freight and passengers have ad-
vanced about 50 per cent.
Comparisons With 1917
Comparing the earnings for the
arst FIVE months Of 1919 with the aver
age for these same months in the gov
ernment test period, the three years
ended June 80, 1917" says Mr.. Fayant,
IS is seen that operating expenses
have risen 10 per cent, while revenues
have risen only Al per cent.
"R.silroad employees are earning an
average Of sl505 a year, as compared
~ith 1915 in the test period and $50
before the war. This is an increase Of
os per cent during the war and 70 per
cent over the test period average.
Some 100000 employees are nov av-
eraging more than $4,000 year

half the year, it is now possible to take
will probably be necessary to keep the
roads self-supporting. The Eastern
roads, for the five months, would have
earned their guarantee had the rates
on freight averaged 20 per cent higher,
while Is per cent higher freight rates
on the Southern and Western roads
would have brought them out even. 1t
is plain that transportation is now
being furnished at much less than cost,
because the increases in labor and ma
terial costs have been much more than
double the increases in rates for ser

serving the more congested industrial
region from Chicago to the seaboard,
are most in need of relief through
higher rates. This condition is similar
to that in 1914 and 1917, when the
Interstate Commerce Commission gave
these carriers the bulk of the rate ad-
vances. In the five months the Eastern
lines have earned net operating IN
come of but $17,423, 900, compared with
S124,543,000 in the same months in the
test period. The twelve months av-
erage income in the test period was
$3.50, 1000. In five months they have
earned only one-twentieth Of this. 1t
is not improbable that the deficit for
the Eastern lines this year will be as
Of the country in 1918.

ADVISES TO SOW
ALFALFA IN AUGUST

August is the month best suited for
the seeding OF alfalfa. In the south
eastern and northern sections of the
state the crop should be seeded the
first half OF August. In the south
eastern and southern sections the last
half Of the month liz probably best
suited.
If the seeding is delayed until Sep
tember. the effect on the yield of
hay the following year Is easily seen.
The decreased yield h following
year Is evidently due to the fact that
the small plants did not have time
enough between seeding time and
killing freeze to develop sufficiently
to protect themselves from the cold
weather.
The young plants must be we'll
grown and hardy by winter time and
they cannot reach this STAGE If plant
ed in September or October.
The above statement apply to the.
crop as a state wide time OF seeding.
There are specific instances where
good stands have been secured by
seeding alfalfa in October with wheat
and on the wheat in April. The chance
Of failure following these two methods
is good. The chance OF getting a good
crop of weeds is also good. Seed
your crop in August and seed it alone
at the rate OF IS pounds per acre.
For further instructions. call on
your county agent or write to the
extension division. Blacksburg. Va.

I period represents the normal amount OF
building for these three boroughs. then
the number Of permits for new build
ings issued in the four and a half years
from January 1. 1915. to July /. 1919.
should have been 1886. whereas the
actual number Of permits issued vas
1876. These figures indicate q short
age Of 1s.0s1 new buildings.
Not only has the number of build
ings decreased but the average value
per project has decreased also. Dur
ing the ten years from 1905 to 1914
the average value per project As in
dicated by the record Of building per-
mits was 31s.150. Tho average value
per building in 1915 was $1s,e 0 in
1916. $ll.4s0: in 1917. $3.50: in 1913.
$3.50 and in the drst half OF 1919,
sI2.2so. If the size of the average new
building had remained constant during
have increased in proportion to the in
crease In cost OF construction instead
Of showing the decreases indicated
above.
IF the average value per building
tf1S,150) during the years 1906 to 1914
be taken as representing the normal
size OF the average new project as re-
CURED at the present time, then 1t will
on account of the increase in con-
struction cost take about $40, 900 to
build each Of. the necessary buildings
required. sixteen thousand buildings
at $4,000 a gives $3.50, 900, 900 as .
