Washington, May 12.-Congestion of
freight in principal roadroad terminals,
probably the worst since the hard win

business and commerce all over the
country. Appeals for relief pouring
into washington picture the big rail-
road gateways choked with thousands

because of shortage of men and motive

 IL has been demonstrated that broor corn in the Salt River valley will nro- duce two crops a season with but one plantlng, yielding about one and one lourth e.t tons per acre. The cost of pro- uo uocs ana harvesting is small, com
 At the present time the market prlces on broom corn range from s50 to s4VO ton, according to quality. The nlshest standard of both standard and a"arI broom corn seed obtainable has been obtained for sale here. With proper planting and handling it is pro uucihg an exceptionable grade of corn tIs s ooen son and climatic conditions for the product are ideal.
 The present supply of hroor, oou- useu Tn Arizona is practically all i'm ported from the Lindsey district of okiahoma- and the extent of the inn portatons may be gauged from tbe lact that one broom concern in Phoenix orlngs Tn more than $50,O00 worth of corn annually.

CROP ROTATION |S
 DRAWING ATTENTION
 IF ALL PRODUCERS

Everyyear sees increasing numbers Of farmers in the Salt River valley join in the ranks of those who believe in ana practice crop rotation. Crop TO- tation and companion cropping amount to and about the same thing, with com panlon cropping showing slight advan- tages over crop rotation in SC verdi directions.
 Some fields are now going into al falfa- with barley, oats or wheat inter- cropped. Some are going in the same way with white sweet clover for the same purpose. The only drawback to intercropping wheat and sweet clover Is that mills do not like to make flour out of the wheat, as the clover gives 1t slight fragrance.
 A good companion crop to plant with wheat Is vetch or field peas. When planting companion crop care should be used not to use more than 40 pounds 1 Of wheat or 30 pounds of either the Vetch or the sweet peas. The same advice holds good in the case also of barley or oats. In the latter case 30 pounds of barley and 35 pounds of oats give the best results when a seed crop is to be harvested.
 The reason for this light seeding when using a legume is outlined in this manner: Grain roots have an es-
 
 depth Of five or six inches Vetch is only winter growing legume, as is also the field pea. Vetch is also the best growing winter Iegume known. and it is estimated that it's roots will cover feeding area of about 4,0OO cubic inches, and the root system is deeply matted. The field pea has a root system almost as good, The sweet clover, in the first year of planting, has root system about the same as the field pea Sour clover has a root system hardly equal to that of the same clover grown in the same space of time. These Iegume roots have the following effects on the grain:
 The soil water. which contains the plant food, follows these roots from great depth up to the surface mulch. thus allowing more plant food to reach the grain roots than would otherwise come in contact with them, which. in effect is the same as extending the roots very deep into the subsoil.
 By saving only one-half as many plants growing because of light sow ing, as is advocated, there will he larger and stronger plants, with better root systems. It also does away with the danger of overcrowding the plants so that they stool fully. More stools per grain plant will prevail under this method of growing, the heads will be larger and the grain will weigh more to the sack.
 It Is understood, in connection with the foregoing, that the best results are not be expeced unless the plants are supplied with the nitrogen which en- aoles them to become strong growers. Native bacteria have been found wanting, so that it is necessary to ap- ply artificial inoculation
 Alfalfa and sweet cloverf are 1ener- ally used in this kind of planting when 1t is desired to keep the legume cron after the grain is harvested. In tbs case of sweet clover, however. IT win supply about six weeks of fine. heavy pasture. even if it Is to be turned under later for some summer crop The sweet clover kills very easily with discing
