Brand, formerly Chief of this Bureau,
arrived at the conclusion that this was
most desirable practice. He found
out that if cotton was properly stored

more satisfactory ginning; the seed
also dried out and was of better quai

proved quality of seed and lint. An
other advantage-it enabled the farm
erto devote all of his time to picking
during the rush season and enabled
him to save the cotton ginned and
handle the seed at time when he was
not so urgently needed on the farm.
OF course, storing of cotton in the
seed must be done, if at all, under cor
rect conditions in order to prevent

Answering letter from The Pro

the present distrcssingly low price OF
cotton seed. Secretary Farvie Jordan
OF the American Cotton Association

"Thele are two raethodS of meeting

the farmers namely:
"l. Sto"e the seed cotton in bulk on
the farm and postpone ginning to a

the seed will not damage unless the

bales of cotton, and never think OF

trouble about heated seed, and gain
tremendously in weight and market
value of the lint Under this plan all
of the labor is kept busy picking the
crop during the busy season and valu-
able labor is not kept out of the fields

"This is the best economic and pro.
tective plan for the farmers to adopt
in order to counteract the depression
in price of cotton seed and lint cotton
which is usually encountered at the
opening of the sason.
"2. If the seed cotton must be
einned, the seed can be hauled home
and stored in dry barns or houses.
Such seed, if not stored in too large
bulk and the seed stirred about witt
shovels or pitchforks every few days,
the seed will not heat, but will dry out
and can then be kept indefinitely. OF
course, this is matter which will re-
quire attention, but it has been done
successfully in thousands of instances
for years, and the difference in gain
in prices is certainly worthy a much
wider interest and attention ..

think the Government ought to run
the railroads but we sure got enough
o fthat when the government ran them
during the war. When Senator Cum
minis completed the bill which turned
the roads back to their proper owners
it was bill that was as fair and we'll
arranged as anything could be. This
must be true because the service on
the railroads has improved greatly in
the past few months and the increased
earnings under private ownership and
control prove whit | say. These facts
are being carefully studied by leaders
in both the Senate and the House OF
Representative They are constant
" being told about the Plumb plan
and government ownership of the
roads and certainly the fact that serv-
ice and earnings have improved un-
der private ownership and control
will have a lot to do with any future
plans regarding legislation for the
railroads.
Now here are few facts to think
about on this subject. When the law
went into effect it turned the roads
back to their owners the first Of last
March. From March until September
/, eight months, they were operated
by the owners but under guarantee
from the government that protected
them against any loss of Nancy. That
arrangement stopped September Isl
and for the post two months, October
and November the roads have really
and truly again been running as they
did before the war, without any inter
ference or help from the government

bllity and Determination To
Make Good To Limit.

Washington. - With q majority OF
152 in the House and % in the Senate
the Republican party has returned to
power with solemn sense of respon-
sibility after ten years of Democratic
control.
The fact that the House majority is
larger than ever given any party in
the history of the country and that the
Senate majority is sufficient to make
sure of the passage fall party meas
ures. does not cause citation among the
leaders in either branch of Congress
so much determination to do away
with the evile In administration which
caused the landslide ntheir favor.
1t is only within the facts to say
that no party ever came to power with
such a serious sence of responsibility
as the Republican party at this time.
In interviews with those who are to
WELD that power one is impressed at
once with this feeling that the party
must do great things to make good
and that 1t will do them. The Repub-
lican party is the party of constructive
effort. 1t lost Congress in Trio on the

hand is literally shot to pieces. Be-
cause of the nature of the campaign

sion which handles the railroad af-
fairs, SO far as the government goes,
an dhelps to regualte rates. The rea-
sons for the roads not making all they
should in September were because
most of the freight that was moving
during the first two weeks of that
month was handled for the old rates
because 1t had left In the care before
the new rates went into effect and also
because IL of the state railroad or
public utilities commissions had not
allowed the new rates to go into eff
feet.
But let's get to another point. That
of better service. You know the roads
faced a mighty hard thing when the
government turned them back. Mr..
McAdoo, when he was director gen.
eral of railroads. raised the pay of the
railroad men without hesitating and
after he left these in charge kept
promising the men more and more
pay. Now when the roads went back
to the owners they had to face the
trouble of adjusting that situation
which looked for long time as if it
would end in one big strike. There
were a few strikes here and there but
no big, general strike. However they
were enough to tie up the freight cars
so that it was very hard to move food,
fuel and the many other things which
have to be sent from here and there
by rail. They Strengthened 1t out fin
ally though and beginning in May the
service began to improve. The first of
July committee was formed to get
better service and efficiency and DAN
lei Willard, president of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad was made the
chairman"

well, Jack. here are the actual re-
suits. When the railroad administra-
ton was running the roads in 1919
the average freight car made 23.1
miles per day. In May of this year the
freight cars averaged 24.2 miles per
day and the owners say they are not
going to stop until this average
reaches 80 miles per day. In June the
average was %. in July 2e.l and in
August 81. 4.
I'm not going to give you a whole
lot Of figures but want to say this
that from May to October the freight
business increased every month. The
passenger business has been much
larger for each month for the past 81,
months than for the same time las
year, and weekly reports show thi!
condition is continuing right along
