The general manager Of a short
line railroad in Texas testified that
on the Rio Grande within the past
sixty days farmers have lost. accord
ing to calculations. over 1000. 900 on
cabbages and potatoes which rotted
because there were no cars.
In many of the great cities. and e.
pecially in New York, the food supply
Of the population Is being teopardiz-
cd. As was said In the Bulletin of
the Merchants Association of New
York, "a condition which compels
southern farmers to plow their crops
under while the consumers of this
city cannot purchase food u in
tolerable."
The impossibility OF moving freight
from places where it is produced to
points where 1T is needed has put a
heavy strain upon bank credit. In
the Northwest, 1t is urgent that grain
be moved, and yet in that region
there are 70 per cent more coal cars
and 16 per cent fewer box cars than
are needed. AS a result, it has been
necessary to extend paper which
should run only ninety days, to eight
and even ten months, because the
owners OF the grain cannot realize on
1t. In the same way, the tie-up Of
transportation has had a DISASTROUS
OBJECT upon our entire Industrial and
commercial life. Until this great
problem Is solved, the business life
OF the country can not continue to
function properly.
How shall 1t be solved? BY more
strikes? BY renewal OF government
importation Of railroads? BY Nation
alzation" OF railroads7 BY just lests-
lation aboliehing railroad strikes and
providing n fair settlement OF dis
putes?
What's your idea Mr.. Farmer?

NATIONAL FARM coUNcIL-cUnmINs

Last month a report was issued
from the office of the secretary of
the National Council OF Farmers Co
operative Association. It was a long
report and It's findings were the re-
suit OF a series of meetings of repre-
sentatives OF different farmers CO.
operative associations held in Wash
ington. D. G. These meetings sought
information from all sources as to
the relief OF car shortage and heard
and interviewed bankers and others
in regard to the serious situation Of
in connection with railroad trans
portation and the necessity Of IL
nancing the roads sufficiently to
move crops and relieve the condi-
tions that the bungling and wasteful
governmental management has
brought about. The report was pre-
pared by F. S. Myers, secretary OF
the National Council Of Farmers CO.
operative Association, and is the
findings and conclusions Of more
than hundred farmers, shippers
and their representatives from all
over the United States. among them
Benjamin G. Marsh. secretary and
director OF the farmers national
council: c. G. Holman, national board
OF farm organisations: Z. Farlow,
secretary Farmers Grain Dealers As
ISOLATION Of Illinois; A. 8. Sykes, of
the Corn Belt Meat Producers As
ISOLATION, and many others OF like
standing with farmers and shippers.
This is what the report OF May.
1920, says Of Senator A. b. Cum
Minis:
We desire to especially commend
the work of Senator Cummins, OF
Iowa, for his intelligent and broad
minded handling OF this proposition.
It is more than evident that Senator
Cummins is keenly awake to the sit
uation and that he has given endless
study to the transportation problem.
We feel that the people OF Iowa,
especially. are entitled to know that
their senior senator 10 very much on
the job.
These men heard railroad men and
bankers and financiers on the rail-
road conditions. They went into the
situation fully az to car shortage and
as to financing railroads for tho
equipment which must be had II the
situation is to be relieved for tho
farmers and shippers.
We found, says the report, that
the senate committee, OF which Sem
ator Cummins, OF Iowa, 10 chairman,
was fully informed az to the serious
ness Of the conditions at the present
time and was more than ready to
take action to give relief In order
to gain complete information on the
subject Of equipment, Senator Cum
Minis requested q large number Of
railroad executives to meet with his
committee on May s.
The information gained at this
meeting is summarized, also infor-
nation gained from bankers as to n
nancing the railroad for new equip
Iment.i
We do not want to be unduly pes
simistic about the situation. says
the report, but at the same time we
want to impress upon every one the
fact that we are facing critical
situation at the present moment and
that we must continue to expect car
shortage for a great many months
and should be governed accordingly.
