FARMERS ASK RATE CUT

Farmers tool. a hand in the inn
pending railroad strike October 18
when President Howard of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation pre-
sented a petition to the Interstate
Commerce Commission asking that
as a fundamental step toward solv-
ing the crisis the railroads make an
immediate reduction of 10 to 20 per-
cent on the basic necessities of life.
At the time the good Offices of the
Federation were offered in mediating
the difficulties of the men and their
employers.
President Howard declared the
railroads had made mistake in de-
nying the farmers plea for lower
rates; that present rates had ruined
the farmers buying power; that all
industries except the railroads had
accepted defiation; that rail labor had
just taken a wage cut totalling $400,-
100000 and that for the good of the
public it is now just for a freight
reduction to be ordered at once. The
farmers leader asked that any and
all reductions and economies effected
be passed on to the public in the
shape of lower rates until the 40
percent advance of Rugust 26, 1920,
was wiped out. It was shown that a
10 percent rate cut would save ship
pers quarter of billion dollars in
one year.
The Farm Bureau is seeking an i'm
mediate reduction in freight rates
and immediate withdrawal of the
strike order. 1t is understood that
the farm bureau favors reimbursement
of the mems wages on the basis of
present living costs.

The largest enrolment in the his
tory of the Michigan Agricultural
College checked in at the registrar
Office last week. While final totals
have not yet been given out, it is
certain that the previous record of
four-year students 1,150, in 1870
has been greatly exceeded.
The Freshman class, numbering
$50 students, is nearly 100 larger
than the biggest former entering
class.
The college has apparently enter
ed upon a period of numerical
growth which will give it an enroll
ment of more than 1000 four-year
students in the near future. Includ-
ing Short Course and Summer School
students, the total enrolment will
run well above 1000 this year.

President-elect David M. Friday is
keeping in close touch with the af-
fairs of the college this fall. He is a
frequent visitor on the campus and
has already moved part of his office
equipment to the M. A. c. presidents
Office. Through the cooperation of
Acting-President Shaw, Friday is &C
quiring an accurate knowledge of the
problems and work of the institution
which will enable him to assume full
control of it's affairs Immediately up
on taking office.

A TIMELY SONG

In the shade of the old apple tree,
Where the, snow and the rain blow
so free,
Is no place to store the binder and
mower
And implements there that you see
For the rust and the rot you'll agree,
Are worse than hard usage would be,
And the paint that they wore, is a
shade, nothing more
Just the shade Of the old apple tree.
