Shows Big Cattle Price Drop,

Washington,-Beef cattle on farms
lost in average value per head
from January 1, 1919, to January l.,
1921, all that they gained during the
participation of the United States in
the World War, and more than half
as much again, according to the bu-
reau of crop estimates of the depart
ment of agriculture.
The loss occurred mostly in 1920.
This has been established by the re-
cent annual investigation of prices
of farm animals per head made by
the bureau. The average price per
head, all ages, of cattle otheE than
mich cows, was s35.92 in 1917; $44,-
% in 1919 and $31.41 in 1921. JAN
uary 1 last year the farm price was
S4.51 below that of 1917, several
months before this country declared
war.
A statement by the bureau says:
"In the case of swine the average
price per head, all ages, declined in
the two years, 1919 and 1920, 80
per cent of the gain in 1917 and 1918
and two-thirds of the decline was in
1920.
.From 1916 to 1919 the average
farm value of corn per care increas-
cd from s21.67 to S3s.54. The corn
crop of 1920, taking the average val
ue of the product of one acre, fell to
S2O.93, and this drop not only wiped
out the gain of the preceding three
years, but perceptibly exceeded 1T.
The commonly used percentage OF
decline since the break in prices be-
gan fails to discover this fact be-
cause percentage of decline from a
higher number is not comparable with
percentage of gain during the pre-
ceding years, which is based on a
comparatively low number"

Boom Subscription to New
Express Company.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S.-Fair-
fax Harrison, president of the South
ern Railway System, said today "The
books for subscription to the million
dollars of capital stock offered OF the
people of the South by the Southeast
ern Company were opened yesterday
morning and were closed at night.
The stock was allotted pfoportionate-
ly to all the fourteen states served by
the lines of the Southern Railway
System and Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road. The reports received this morn
ing show over subscription in every
state.
"The stock list will be made of the
names of at least twenty-five hundred
widely distributed southern business
men holding on the average about
four shares apiece. No single sub
scription in excess of one hundred
shares was received and no officer or
employe of the railroad was permit
ted to participate, although many of
them, especially the employees, offer
ed to subscribe. This result of test
of practical business democracy and
individualism in the South at time
Of business depression is, of course,
gratifying to US, but has perhaps a
larger significance. Certainly it full
ly justifes our confidence that the
people of the South desire competi-
tion and express service and are will
ing to back their desire with their.
money and their support in other re-
spects.
"The Southeastern Express Com
will how proceed under the able man
agement of it's president, Mr.. John
B. Hockaday, to purchase its neces-
sary equipment and will begin service
at the earliest practicable moment, of
which the announcement will be
made"
