The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of rairoads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world s markets.
The rairoads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital
With fair prices for the work they Go,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities
Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.

 CORN VALUES 60 UP ON FLOUR SALE ON CREDIT TOEUROPE Oats Also Made Gains While Provisions Took a Set

By Associated Press

Chicago, March S.-Sharp new upturns In the value of corn took place today largely as result of proposed huge flour sales to Europe on credit. The market closed strong. 2A@sss net higher. with May si.4rsn1. .44s4 and July H. sS1s0a. .ss1s Oats gained 11S@1Ac. Ia provisions the outcome was a setback to 7lac to 35c.
 All deliveries of corn except May rose to the topmost figures yet this season. May went to the highest point since last August. Commission houses were per sistent buyers, and there was no impor- tant selling other than from longs, who were taking profits. The fact that receipts here totaled only 100 cars gave additional impetus to demand. based on the an nouneement by Wheat Director Barnes that flour sales to Europe to the extent of $50,000,000 would soon begin, even though Congress did not authorize a loan to finance the sales. A drcp of points in sterling led to a little hesitaney m the corn market at the opening, but was quickly lost sight Of
 Oats rose with corn, although lagging somewhat owing to cancelling of export purchases that weer replaced with Cana dian oats at 5c discount
 Provisions lacked any aggressive sup port.

An example of this tendency was supplied by the Worthington Pump report issued today. covering 1919 operations. It was a good report, all things con sidered, but far below the unofficial estimates. It showed SIPS a share earned on the common stock before deductions for taxes. The surplus available for the stock was equiva- alent to around s32 share. The Street was told via stock market tipsters in December an dagain In January that Warrington Pump earned som ething like $60 to $50 a share on it's stock before taxes.

Oil trade men say the government is largely to blame for not taking action in oil drilling operations with regard to Mexico's recent interference with America n oil drilling operations in that country. It was pointed out today that had American companies not been stopped in their drilling a few months ago, new production would have been available in suffi- cient volume to meet the current market demands for fuel oil. While temporary permits were given the American companies month ago to drill new wells, it will require several months, it is stated, to get new production off to the market. Meanwhile fuel oil prices have risen in striking fashion.

This was not exactly new for the street has heard. since the beginning of the year that rise in prices was imminent The tire manu- lecturers have argued that they were entitled to an increase in the price of their products because of the larger labor costs and higher prices for some of the materials entering into the manufacture of tubes, principally cot ton.
