NEW RAILROAD RULES.

The United States railroad labor
board makes announcement that it is
about to publish rules as substitute
for the so-calIed national agreements,
established during the period of gov
eminent management. They will APP
ply to an roads the managers and en-
ployes of which have not got to-
gether" since the government reIin-
quished control.
It will be a great relief to the rail-
roads doubtless to be released from
this arbitrary code of working rules.
They are a tremendous handicap -
efficient operation. They are part of
the answer to the question an anxious
p-blic is asking: What is the matter
with the railroads. now that they have
been freed by the government?
The managers of the roads are not
free. of course. The return of the
properties to their owners has meant
chiefly that they are no longer under
the orders of federal director gen.
eral. Not to mention the long existing
fact that their only source of income
is under the control of six government
officials. a majority of the interstate
commerce commission, their expendi-
lures are now largely subject to the
newly created labor board.
The tendency of the one has until
recently been to reduce income to a
minimum. The other has not yet dis
played marked favor for debating the
war payroll; the approved wage re-
adjustments have been distressingly
moderate.
The labor board may be a necessary
institution for functioning during this
transition period. The fact remains
that it one more manacle on the
freedom of railroad executives and
managers. Public opinion, looking to
them for results. ought in fairness
consider how little authority they are
permitted to have over processes.
The nations transportation system,
created and developed to stage of
virtual completeness by men of con-
structive ideals, at liberty to act on
their own initiative. has been under
regulation, continually increased in
comprehensiveness and rigor, since
1887. Even before the government
took physical control, the operators
had very little to do with conducting
vital affairs of the railroad industry
Early in the Wilson administration
the Adamson law was imposed on
them. the most glaring example Of
class legislation of which congress
has ever been guilty. The national
agreements apparently will~soon be
terminated; the labor board itself will
some day conclude it's tasks and ex-
pire; the commerce commission may
continue, as it has now begun, to &C
cord the railroads a living wage''-
but so long as the Adamson law re-
mains on the federal statute book
railroad executives will not be free %
administer their trusts on sound eco
nomic principles.

the late President Mckinley spoke in
the campaign still is preserved and is
pointed out to all visitors. 1t was that
one little touch that fixed our faith
in the Blue Book. We have PERSONAL

the railroad station and not more than
sixty feet distant. 1t may interest
other motorists to know the condition
OF the roads between Green River,
Wyo., and Chicago. We made the trip

scent at Brooks Hill. just outside OF

Those touring the upper reaches of
the Connecticut river should cross and
take the right-hand road thru Cole
brook, N. H. to Dixville Notch. The
road on the left side of the river leads
to Canaan, VT, and practically runs
out at the saloon three-QuarterS of a
mile northeast of Canaan in the Prov
ince of Quebec. This probably is due
to the fact that when the road reaches
the saloon its function has been per-
formed. There is a comforta BILE fish
ing camp on Lake Averill. seven miles
to the southwest; but the cook lady
and waiter girls quit promptly at 7.30

INCREASE YIELD
OF WHEAT CROP
No Better Time Can Be Found
To Think Of These Things
Than Now

Experience has shown that from
three To five bushels per acre increased
yield in wheat can be made by plow-
Ing the land deep and early so as to
give the soil time to settle. Tho wheat
plant likes firm seed bed Just below
tho surface. II the land is quite loose
the roller should be used. The in
crease in yield from the tirm packing
of a roller will often pay for the roller
in one crop.
Another chance to increase the yield
per acre is by using sound, plump seed
that will grow. Fan and screen out all
small and shriveled grains.
The average yield of wheat can bs
increased five bushels IL one will give
attention 10 these details IL requires
nearly whole year TO grow a crop OF
wheat. Why not get the highest crop
possible by doing the right thing at
the right time. II does not cost any
moro and the profit IL so pleasing and
satisfactory. DO your best this time
and note the difforenee.-C. Il. Alfred.

During July and August pastures
are short and dry. flies bad and the
weather hot Under such conditions
cows can not proitably yield milk
without some supplemental feed. TX
pertinent Stations and dairy farms
have found that the summer silo best
meets this need for supplemental feed.
Many of the most progressive dairy
men considers silage as essential for
summer use as IL Is for winter
The dairyman who has a small silo
can be just about Indifferent to SUN
mcr droughts. II is seldom so dry
that fair crops of silage can not be
grown.
Let the man beginning with a sinai.
