leaving them without any net return
and unable to meet their fixed charges.
The emergency presented can be met
either by an advance In freight, and
passenger rates, or BY: reduction In
operating expenses.
With declining prices and wages In
industry and agriculture, tho country
demands that the solvency Of the rail-
roads must be assured by reduction
In operatlng expenses, and not by q
further advance Of rates.
The National Agreements, rules and
working conditions forced on the rail-
roads as war. measures cause gross
waste and inefficiency.

/ I estimate that the elimination Of
this waste would reduce railway OPP

It would be far better to save, this sum

cd 21S OF 1877 $50 lightweight tons,
while vessels still in possession of
purchasers on June 80 numbered $50
of 1.S51,902 tons. Vessels returned to
the board and the sales cancelled dur
ing the year numbered 121 of 6S6,619
lightweight tons. Sales for the year
included 81 tugs for $2,170, 800 and Al
uncompleted wooden hulls for 81

In the twelve months the board au-
thorized the transfer to foreign regis
try of 401 American craft of 202, 2S3
gross tons. Because of the unsual ac-
tivity in the oil trade in Mexico, the
report says, the board authorized the
transfer OF 1l3 vessels, mostly barges
and small craft to Mexican registry.
Despite falling freight rates and
other causes which contributed to the
laying up of more than half of the
government feet, the board says it
was able to extend trade routes and
that in the year 1913 per cent of the
nations $S,91O.000,000 foreign trade
was carried in American bottoms.
This compares with APT in 1920 and
81 per cent in the year before the
world war.
On June 80, the report continues,
the board had total of 40 general
cargo berths, of which 1893 were be-
tween the United States and foreign
ports and coastwise service in the

ports. Ships engaged in service to
Europe numbered BOG, to Africa Is, in

ment of American shipping in Europe

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE
by Farm Demonstration and Special
Investigator

Several elements are necessary in
the feed If the hen Is to give her
maximum production. She must first
maintain her body and keep in good
health; then there must be sufficient
feed to produce the yolk, the white
and the shell Of the egg.
The laying hens feed should con-
sist Of; (D mash, containing a vari.
ETY. of grains and shipped feed, fine
ly ground with about one-third Of its
weight of meat scraps or tankage
added; (2) grain feeds, good vari-
ETY., either whole or cracked; (3)
grits, either oyster shells, pearl grits
or crushed limestone; (4) green feed,
such as clover, rape, cabbage, beets,
turnips, oats or rye; (5) clean, pure
water (milk may be fed).
A very practical mash and one
that has been used for years by
the U. S. Department Of Agriculture
in its poultry yards at Beltsville, Nd,
with such good results that it is
nov highly recommended for Rhode
Island Reds and Leghorns, is as fol-
lows: Corn meal Sc lbs, bran 4 lbs,
middlings 4 lbs, and meat scraps &c
lbs. Several pens Of 80 birds each
from both breeds have averaged from
140 to 155 eggs apiece each year
while on this mash.
In feeding hens the mash, grits
and water should be before them all
the time. Grain should be fed in
the litter so that the hens will have
to scratch for it, at the rate Of 2
lbs. per day for 20 hens, one-half
pound in the morning and one and
one-half pounds at night just before
the hens go to roost.
Eggs constitute one Of the great
est sources Of income on the farm.
We cannot afford to have any hen
producing less than her maximum.

BULLS ARE DIRT CHEAP

The County Agent has had lot to
say about scrub sires. He has talked
and written so much on this impor-
tant subject that he is glad TO allow
the Southern Agriculturist to say
the following for the benefit Of the
farmers Of this county:
Suppose you are keeping cows and
raising the calves from them to sell,
either as feeders or after fattening.
Suppose you have been breeding
these cows to any old bull that hap
pens to be handy, and raising the
kind of calves that such breeding
produces. Suppose you would like
to raise better calves, but wonder II
it would be wise to buy . pure-bred
bull at time Of depression like this.
In that case, think of these two
or three facts: Pure-bred bulls that
will get good market calves can be
bought for little more than beef
prices now. The calves from these
bulls will be selling two or three
years from now. While nobody
knows what cattle will be bringing
that far ahead, all present indica
lions are for better cattle prices
within a year. Whatever profit may
be made in cattle, with high prices
or low, will go mostly to the men
who raise the better type Of cattle.
All around, it looks like one Of the
very best times to get that pure-bred
bull. Now doesn't it?

American government there should be
strengthened. As for Immediate In.
dependence for the FIlipinos the report
says: "we are convinced that II would
be betrayal Of the Philippine people,
a misfortune 10 the American people, q
distinct step backward In the path OF
progress. and a dlscreditable neglect
Of our national duty. were we to with
draw from the islands and terminate
our relationship there without giving
the Filipinos the best chance possible
to have an orderly and permanently
stable government"
The commissioners do not md
against the capacity Of the Filipinos
for self government, but rather that
they have not had fair chance. They
lack experience and trained leaders.
Congress Is urged to give the gov
ernor general authority commensurate
with his responsibilities. and II is
recommended that In case OF a dead.
lock between the governor general and
the Philippine senate In the comfirma.
ton Of appointments the President Of
the United States be authorized to
render final decisl N. Such a deadlock
Is already threatened over Governor

THE federal railway labor board

cision promulgating las new work
Ing rules to govern the six railroad
shop crafts and supplanting the ns-
tional agreement Of 1919. The rules
create for the shop crafts modified

believed, will result In saving Of

unions affected have about 10000
members and are the sheet metal
workers. boiler makers, electrical
workers, car men. blacksmiths and
machinists. The minute classification
Of work for the various crafts Is
abolished by the new rules. A man
In one. craft may do labor formerly re-
stricted to members OF another craft.

retical than practical at the present
