KEEP RAILROADS OPERATING

In the words of W. G. Lee, grand
president of the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen, there will be
mo illegal, outlaw, rebel, sporadic
or immediate railroad strike fol-
lowing the award of increased
wages to the men operating the
trains and railroad tugs of the
country" All of which is most en-
couraging to business in general.
due to the forced curtailment in the
Industrial world during the recent
"outlaw', strike. While the award
made does not satisfy railroad men
in many ways, and which. If accept
ed, may be done under protest,
something to work on has been eff
fected and a walkout, for the time
being at least, has been averted.
1t is natural to that when
the demands for increased pay were
made the scale was made high so
that when the railroad labor board
took action the award would be
made proportionate to the amount
asked for. But, as is usually the
case. the shippers of freight and
the travelling public will pay the
bill. There is little doubt but that
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will refuse to allow a general
increase in rate.
A feature in the text of the labor
boards award that showed the i'm
portance OF Perth and South Amboy
and Port Reading as railroad and
waterway shipping centers was in
the fact that these places were
mentioned specifically in awarding
to boatmen employed at the docks
and on the tugs a scale to conform
with that made at Philadelphia,
New York and other nationally
known ports.

KANRED

Farmers, millers, grain dealers,
and everybody else who eats bread
have been concerned greatly in the
recent weeks because of the red
rust that threatens to diminish the
whea crop. No sooner does the
gloom thicken. however, than, To-
hope is born in Kansas, and the
days of the red rust scare are seen
to be numbered.
For at the Kansas Agricultural
College at Manhattan, Kanred lifts
its smiling face. Kanred is a new
kind of wheat, evolved from a
single head imported from Russia
fourteen years ago. 1t is impervi-
Gus to the rust, has few diseases,
and is n of the hardest wheats
known. Its yield averages five
bushels to the acre more than other
varieties.
Half a million acres have been
planted in Kanred wheat this year.
Millions of bushels will go for seed
for next years crop. 1t is expected
a fourth of the hard wheat acreage
in Kansas, and large tracts in Okla
homa, Texas, Nebraska, Wyoming,
Colorado and South Dakota will be
sewn with Kanred this fall. No
longer does the farmer look with
disapproval on the college Teller.
Kanred is one of the reasons.
1t is one good thing that has
come out of Russia-though IL
came a long time ago!

Cider Isn't Booze

Persistent efforts have been made
by the liquor men to enlist apple
growers of this and other states as
enemies of prohibition on the preteXt
that the Volstead act outlaws cider
making. As a matter of fact, farm
ers and other owners of orchards have
nothing to fear in this respect, as long
as they do not sell for beverage pur-
poses cider so hardened as to be
actual booze.
Sweet cider, which contains less
than one-half of one per cent of al
cohol, may be made, kept and sold
without restriction.
According to a recent government
ruling, cider containing more than one
half of one per cent of alcohol may
be made and kept for home consump-
ton only, if it is mot Intoxicating" it
cannot be sold.
Persons buying cider for the manu-
facture of vinegar, intended for sale,
must obtain a permit from the federal
prohibition director, which costs moth
