SAN DIEGO NOW HAS
SHORTCUT RAILROAD
Harbor OF The Sun Gets
Railway After Fifty
Years Wait.

, San Diego, Cal, Dec. 6.-The hap
piest city in the United States today
is San Diego, Cal After half CEN
tIry of hoping and ten years Of watch
full waiting, the Harbor of the Sun
is the terminus of the shCrtes. direct
transcontinertal railroad to all points
east of the Mississippi from Pacific
tidewater.
John ID. Spreckles, foremost citi-
zen, is being honored for financing
the road and completing it in ten
years of trying vicissitudes.
This new railroad is the San Diego
and Arizona Railway, extending $50
miles along the border from San
Diego to Ell Centre, where it connects
with the Southern Pacific lines and
provides a transcontinental short cut
1t represents the most expensive rail-
road building in the United States,
with the possible exception of some of
the government spruce spurs, having
cost s17,O0O,OOO which is upward of
100000 a mile. Much of the
route is mountainous OF desert. A
score of tunnels and numerous great
fills and viaducts were necessary, but
it has been done on an easy grade.
Aside from the saving of miles and
hours on transcontinental traffic as
an important advantage of the San
Diego and Arizona route, the scenery
of its mountain passage is a travel
lure of its own, and by way of justl-
fication for its expensive building for
business in it's own domain, there are
/ fertile valleys along its desert trail,
the greatest being the world famed
Imperial Valley, an inland empire OF
productivity.
In this Imperial Valley, $4,000
population produced last year APP
proximately $5O,OOO,OOO worth OF
products, with cotton leading. The
San Diego and Arizona loops for prac-
tically one-third of it's mileage into
Mexican Lower California.

Carrise George will take position as
one of the most scenic mountain
passes on American railways, The
highest elevation reached is S,66S
feet at Tecate divide. The road,
therefore, will complete the way OF
lowest elevations to the Pacific coast.
The lowest elevation is at FL Centre

Begun in 1903, the San Diego and
Arizona Railway is the only major
railroad construction carried on dur
ing the war Transportation of ex-
plosives and materials both ways

Trimming Vines.

Grape vines may be cut back as
soon as the leaves fall. The method
of pruning and training the vines de-
ponds somewhat ON the age of the
plants. Vines that are two or three
years old should be provided with
some form of permanent support.
Stakes or trellis are usually suf-
fcient and are commonly used.
The two-wire and canopy trellis are
the best types and are to lie preferred
to any of the elaborate frames II the
vines are pruned regularly.
In the two wire trellis. the lower
wire is placed about three feet from
the ground, the upper one about five
feet, and the vines are fastened TO the
wires. Only two canes are allowed
to form. Each cane should be cut on
at wire where the branches are al
lowed to form and spread out in fan
shape along the wire.
The system of training. when the
two wires are used, may be varied
somewhat by allowing only one cane
to grow. cutting IL off at the top wire.
As the branches grow they should be
trained to run along the wires in each
direction to a distance of about half
way between the plants on each side.
With the canopy trellis, posts are
set along the row of grape vines and
a cross-arm nailed on top to support
the wires. The arms should be two
or three feet long and wire strung
on each end and one in the middle.
These wires allow the branches to
spread out so that ample room is pro-
yided to avoid crowding of the fruit.
with this arrangement the fruit
hangs down freely and can be easily
gathered.
New vines may be started by using
the hard wood cutting about twelve
inches long Of the mature grape wood
(they should be set in the ground
and good many of them will estab-
lish their root system next season.
The hand pruning shears is the
most convenient instrument for trim
ming grape vines. Many prune their
vines as late as February, but you
should never wait until March.
All of the dry grapes that are ad-
hered to the vines, and the dead
branches and leaves scattered over
the ground should be raked up into
a pile after the pruning has been
completed and burned. This is OF
great importance. especially when the
vines are diseased.

Thrashing and Storing To Save Soy
Bean Seed

Soy-bean seed now is of considera-
Bile value, and 1t is essential that all
farmers who have raised it thrash
and store it so as to prevent detriora-
tion and loss.
The ordinary grain separator can
be adjusted to thrash any beans sue
cessfully. but this machine, if equip
ed to thrash small grains, must be re-
adjusted when soy beans are &c be
thrashed, as otherwise a large per-
centage of cracked seed will result.
The chief cause of split beans Is the
high speed of the cylinder, which
should be reduced at least one-half
although the speed of the fans and
other parts of the separator may be
maintained at normal.
Special pea and bean separators oil
different sizes are now on the market.
These types of machines do clean
hulling and split practically none OF
the beans. Undoubtedly such sepa-
rators are more satisfactory and
economical where a considerable acre

where there is an extensive seed pro-
duction. investment in such a ma
chine by a community would be prof.

Soy beans. If thoroughly dry, can
easily be thrashed with a fail. II
one has only a small acreage-an
acre or so-this method is practical
and economical. In few sections
n corn shredder has been used to ad-
vantage in the thrashins work and
where the beans are properly cured
and dried. the seeds she'll out feadl-
" when run through this machine.
Soy beans which have been stack
ed ont of doors or housed in the NOW
preyious to thrashing should be
thrashed when the weather is dry and
suitable for work of this character.
Thrashing should not be attempted
until the beans have passed through
n thorough sweat and subsequently
cured so that the seed is separated
readily from the straw
The straw obtained from thrashin"
the soy bean for seed is a valuable
feed for all kinds OF live stock In
many localities the straw is baled at
n time of thrashing and sold
As soy-bean seeds spoil rather easi-
" if not properly handled, care
should be exercised in curing ana
storing. After the beans are thrash
ed they should be watched carefully
TO avoid heating and moulding. When
thoroughly dry, there is no such dan
ger. The best plan, according TO
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is to spread
after thrashing and subsequently
shovel them from time to time I'M
iii they are thoroughly dry. The
storeroom should be dry and have
free circulation of air. Soy-bean
seed loses its viability rather rapidly
and il is not safe to hold seed for
planting purposes more than two sea-
sons. The seeds of the soy beam III
like those of the cowpea, are rarely
attacked by weevils or other gram
insects

UNITED STATES FACES
UNUSUAL SITUATION
BY l.. C. M ARTIN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, March with Pres
ident Wilson and congress both gone
the United States is facing an I'M
precedented situation. Never before
in it's history has congress left un-
done SO much as has the Sixty-fifth
when it quit yesterday, so the records
show.
Government officials are intently
seeking some way to prevent serious
consequences in more than one di-
rection.
By failing to pass the $3.50. 900, 900
railroad appropriation the senate
made it necessary for the roads to
borrow money at a high rate of in
terest from private sources until
congress again c0nyenes to meet its
$780, 900 deficiency.
Extension and betterments in the
service which have to be foregone
for the present, officials declared, be-
cause there is no money for them.
In the army appropriation bill fail
ing to pass, there was an appropria-
tion of $4,110, 900 for transportation
of the army, part of this for bringing
soldiers back from France.
Congress, however points out that
the return of the army depends more
on the speedy finishing of the work
of the peace conference than OH APP
preparations.
Congress adjourned without MAX
ing any provisions for the future ot
men returning from France who may
be unable to return to former occu-
pations.
They failed to pass 800, 100000
Lane bill providing for reclamation
of lands as soldiers homesteads.
Special prohibition enforcement
legislation failed to pass.
Senator Sheppard, dry law author
however, believes the present laws
are adequate.
Congress did nothing about unem-
ployment except to argue whether OF
not men are out of work.

The American labor missioners,

guests yesterday of Grand Duke
Alexander. The luncheon was ar

munitions broker The chief topic of
conversation was bo1shevism, al
though the league of nations and
President Wilson came in for more
or less debate.
The tail aristocrat, grayVandyked
duke, and the sturdy little labor
leader presented strange physical
contrast, but they are said to have
reached striking degree of unanimity
of opinion. The grand duke was UNI
sparing in his criticism of Wilson.
Gompers, pointing out his own inde-

The grand duke expressed scorn OF

saying that while the rest of the

would eventually have a league of

RAILROADS TO GO
BACK TO THE
PARASITES
Two Courses Open, but Re
turn to Owners Is Fa-
vored; Victory Loan May
Be Interferred With.
Especial United Press Wire.


Washingto on, March D. - Director
General Hines is formulating plans
for meeting serious financial troubles
confronting the railroad administra-
ton, due to the senate's failure to
pass the Sf5b,UUU, 600 appropriation.
The two courses of action suggest
ed for solving difficulties are: Re
turn of the railroads to private man
agement, the government to exercise
a form of guardianship pending re-
adjustment to prevent the collapse OF
any system, or to have the railroads
borrow money from banking inter
ests. Many senators and some rail
road administration officials ara
counselling the first course. They
point out the difficulty of the second
course is that il the government does
not back up the roads in attempting
to borrow money they may expert
ence great difficulty. and if the gov
ernment does secure any such loans
it would create d condition where
government railroad bonds would be
competing with the Liberty loan
bonds and notes on the open market
