FARMERS AT COLLEGE,
Rain, Mars Farm Crops and Soils
Field Day at Ames.

Special to Times Republican.
AmeS, Sept. 10.-In spite Of heavy
rainfall two hundred farmers from all
parts OF Iowa gathered at Iowa State
College today to view the results OF
the farm crops and soils experimental
work being carried on at the college
Instead of the usual rounds Of the
plots, talks were given indoors and
results were shown by charts and
other data hastily gathered to fill the
bill.
Interest centered around the results
OF the use Of lime, manure and phos-
phates upon the soils and upon the
results Of soy beans and Clovers In
increasing the fertility Of the soil.
"Iowa's greatest problem at pres
ent." said President r. A. Pearson in
addressing the farmers, us to develos
permanent agriculture. This state is
rapidly approaching the place where
the fertilizers must be applied to
keep the standards Of production UP
to that which came on virgin soil.
The experiment stations" continued
President Pearson are doing this
investigation. They are directing the
work 80 as to get it done at lesser
cost to the farmer and they are cor
recting the methods now used. They
are also working to get the best re-
suits on projects which are entirely
new. In order to get the best results
every farmer should have an expert
ment station on his farm so that he
can at the end Of a season satisfy
himself that new things are for his
financial benefit and for the economic
good Of the community"
Prof. II. D. Hughes, of the farm
crops department, and Prof w. H.
Stevenson, of the soils department,
explained how the experiments arc
farmers.
On one test with Darlington soil.
the commonest kind in Iowa where
clover was used it was shown that
with the addition Of two tons Of
manure per year. limestone and acid
phosphate increased the value Of thu,
crop $34 per acre. Where only
manure was used the increased value
amounted to IS per acre.
This is very valuable since the in q.
crease in amount of clover will In :
crease the amount Of green manure
and increase the fertility which In
turn increases the amount of the
cereal crops which follow.
Iowa soils" declared Professor
Stevenson, ARE in need of lime. Sixty
to 20 per cent of the soils in the state
need lime to get the best results from

Shippers Can Aid
In Freight Movement
by r. J. Dougherty.l

Washington, Sept 11.-Iowa man.
ufactu:ers and merchants of all kinds
were directly appealed to today by
the railroad committee of the Cham
Der OF Commerce OF the United
States to join in e national move
ment to make better use of existing
railroad equipment as means of
providing improved transportation
service.
The national chambers committee
points out that the equivalent of
more than a. half million cars can be
added to the ca. supply by closer
cooperation on the part of all in
terests concerned with transporta
ton.
Freight traffic has increased so
rapidly in the United States during
the past few years that it has com
pletely outgrown the carrying capac-
ity Of the railroads." the chambers
committee says. "As a result it is
now necessary for the roads to de-
wise a practical plan for increasing
their transportation service. This
can only be done by making extern
sive additions of new facilities and
equipment including freight cars, To-
comotives, yard and track terminals
or by making greater use of existing
facilities and equipment.
THE railroads can not carry out
the plan first suggested because I'M
der present condition they are un-
able to obtain a sufficient amount of
new capital; nor would it be possible
for them to provide new facilities in
time to relieve the present ener-
gency even If the capital We're avail
able. They must therefore, rely On
making q maximum use OF existing
facilities and equipment with the
corporation Of all of the ether in
terests commemorative shippers of
freight, receivers of freight and rail-
road employees.
you, as shippers and receivers Of
freight, can take very important
part in this movement You can add
$4,000 freight cars to the available
car supply by loading your cars more
heavily and unloading them prompt
ly. II the railroads were obliged to
buy $4,000 new cars at the present
price of about $4,000 per car, 1t would
cost them s1,6o5, 100000, and would
cost the public at least per cent of
that amount in the form Of increased
