Than Ever Before.
REVIEWS 1920 SITUATION

Railroads in the United States have
no intention of asking for another
general increase in rates at this time,
the end of a record year for the roads,
Thomas De Witt Cuyler. chairman of
the. Association of Railway Execu-
tives, declared last night in a state
ment reviewing the railroad situation
for the year 1920.
During the year American railroads
we're placed again under private oper-
alton and under such direction they
moved larger gross tonnage than
ever before and also established new
records in the amount Of Transports
tion gotten out of each car.
Discredits Reports.
Mr.. CuyIer in his review referred
TO reports that the railroads plan to
ask for further increase in rates, and
in that connection said:
Il know of no movement on the part
Of the railroads for general increase
in rates, nor do I expect any. 1t is
true that the railroad companies are
not yet receiving from the increased
rates anything like the 6 per cent re-
Turn HeeueQ but the railway eXeCu-
lives realize that they are trustees Of
a great public interest in the reduc-
'. ton of railroad operating expenses to
the lowest possible figure, and every
effort will be made during the COM

STANDING OF DEALER
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Rating of Any Dealer Is Not Dit
ficuIt to Obtain.
Chambers Of Commerce and Similar
Bodies Are often Of Much Assist
ance in Giving Information
Bankers Also Help.

When much produce Is to be
shipped, 1t will pay the shipper to look
up dealers commercial standing
very carefully before consgning in his
care. Marketing experts of the United
States department of agriculture call
attention to the fact that the rating of
any dealer may be secured through
firms which make business of rating
the financial and general credit stand
ing of men in different kinds Of busi-
ness. They publish regular reports
which give general idea as to a
dealers standing. though, as Is per-
haps inevitable. In many specific In
stances they have been found to be
inaccurate. This general credit stand
ing is of prime Importance, as a man
with rather low financial rating may
be one of the most reliable. Firm let
ferheads, giving trade references,
should not be accepted at their face
value without verification.
The chambers of commerce, boards
of trade. and similar bodies are often
of assistance i'm giving information as
10 dealers specializing In different com
modities. Local bankers may also
help in determining the responsibility
of a particular firm. Limited lists OF
dealers in various commodities are
sometimes supplied by the Bureau OF
Markets. United States Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, ID. c., In re
Spouse TO inquiries.
Once satisfactory representative
or customer is found, II should be the
aim of the shipper to maintain his
connection with this one firm as by sc
doing mutual confidence will be fos
tered and better results secured than
where the shipper jumps from one
connection to another in quest OF
slightly higher prices.

The very fact that some 45 federal In.
spectors are available at any time has
had wholesome effect upon the en-
tire business of marketing fruit. vege-
tables. and butter. The dishonest few
now know that they are taking bic
chances II they make fraudulent
claims regarding shipments. The hon.
est differences which Inevitably arise
between buyers and sellers at times
are settled more speedily ard with less
friction and misunderstanding.
Special Advice for Farmers.
The service employs FIVE plant
Psychologists who specialize in diseases
that affect fruits and vegetables In
transit. From their reports more than
one farmer has learned Of some dis
ease that has been injuring his crops,
and has been able to remedy the con-
dition.
The inspectors are particularly In
demand when the market condition Is
bad. When buyers are reluctant 20
accept shipments that are doubtful
they, are only too glad of government
certificate which shows conclusively
the exact condition in which the goods
were received. Likewise, the service
enables shippers to procure conclusive
evidence of the soundness of products
which otherwise might be subject tc
undertaking because of an unfavora
Bile market.

When an improved variety of seed

natural increase is not always rapid
enough. One way In which an un-
natural speeding up may be secured
Is shown by the work OF the United

flaxseed. Foreign supplies of fax

severely reduced during the war and
an increase of fax acreage became
imperative. A large number Of pedi-
gree selections and increase plats OF
the best varieties were grown Daring
the summer Of 1918 at the experiment
station at East Lansing, Mich. In the
fall Of that year selections Of seed Of
various strains were taken to Porto
Rico, and an increase crop was grown
during the winter. The Increased
supply of seed thus produced was

prepared by the United States Depart

The time was-and not so long ago
when many a farmer who shipped
his fruit or vegetables to market In his
own name, or through shipper, felt
that he was taking leap in the dark.
Returns seemed very uncertain. Hav-
Ing heard of instances In which
friends or neighbors were treated un-
Sairly by buyers or transportation
companies, he was often fearful lest
he would be the victim of dishonesty.
No doubt the number of dishonest
dealers handling produce was far less
than imagined, but In any event. buy

These days of uncertainty for the
shipper and grower, so far as inter
state commerce Is concerned, are gone.
