lily, But It Dries Out Quickly
Clay Holds Water.

The chief virtue of sandy soil Is that
the roots of plants can pass through it
readily; its chief fault is that IL dries
out too quickly. Clay soil holds water
well, but 1t tends to pack and harden.
Both types of soil need stable manure
1t loosens up clay and helps sand to
hold moisture.

Much Of Depression in Corn Belt Sec

Charges-lowa Corn Sold For
Less than Cost, Says Kenyon.

ashington-Western interests rep
resented in the Senate have started q
determined fight to reduce railroad
rates on agricultural products in con-
nectiOn with the railroad funding bill.
The so-called agricultural bloc" has
taken up the matter, and will hold a
meeting to determine what action shall
be taken. Although no decision has
been reached, the general sentiment
favors action in connection with the
railroad funding bill which President
Harding desires passed as promptly as
possible
Hinted in Resolution.
A hint of what may be done is con-
tanned in resolution introduced in the
House by Representative Dowell,
Iowa.
This resolution directs the Inter-
state Commerce commission to cut
rates on agricultural products, live
stock and coal Is per cent and it is
anticipated that the resolution may be
supported by the agricultural bloc in
the Senate as a rider to the railroad
bill, providing that the bill shall not
become effective until the rates are re-
duced.
1t is realized that the "bloc'' might
form an alliance which would make it
extremely embarrassing to administra-
ton leaders, as a large element among
the Democrats are planning to oppose
the railroad bill irrespective of it's re.
lat1onship to reduced freight rates.
Rates Too High. -
Senators from agricultural states
have been receiving additional reports
of distr ress in the corn belt section.
Much of this depression is based on ex.
