FARM CONGRESS
IN NEW ORLEANS

: NCW OlicdHnp ld.i september H.
Farmers attending the Interstat,
Farm Congress here September 18th
} 18th, are not going to suffer through
, city-made advice on how to farm.
Most of the speakers on the pro.
gram are practical farmers, and the
others won't try to crate in fields
which they can't pillow.
Governor John NJ. Parker, Of Lou
isiana, is a sure-enuff farmer; so are
Clarence Ellerbe, E. o. Payne, Jas,
f. Seip, j. c. Pridmore, Captain C.
H. Teal, c. H. Lockabaugh and
others.
The educational program will be
one Of the most remarkable events of
the character the South has ever seen,
according to the Association of Com
merce Committee, which is arrang-
ing the details.
Matters of vital interest to farmers,
matters which mean dollars in their
pockets, will be discussed by experts
from the preparation of the ground
for planting of the seed, to the gra-
ding and shipping of the crop. Es-
pecially will the farmers be shown the
benefits of cooperation, benefits which
have been proven elsewhere, where
they organized and are getting top
prices as result, without the gamble
of shipping to an unknown market
ION consignment"
The entertainment side of the pro-
gram will be a recreational contrast
to the real business in hand. 1t
includes automobile races, beauty
contest, dancing exhibition, an old
fiddlers' contest, harbor trip, day
at Spanish Fort, and other events.
Many entries have been received for
he automobile races, which will be
directed by Clarence Bennett. These
IRE amateur events. The elimination
rials will he held September 14th;
he races proper September 18th.
Indications are that several thou
and business men and farmers will
Lttend the Congress. Hotels have cut
ates to $100 per day, and railroads !
AVE cut fares % per cent. To get

delegates should take receipt when

something calls for little trouble.
The real reason the Democratic lead

there is a certain amount OF straln

SAYS. SOME ROADS
HAVE NO FUNDS
FOR PURCHASES
Railway Executives Claim
Increased Rates Not
Material Aid

Washington. D. c., Jan. II. - In
creased rates granted the railways
have failed to yield anticipated rev.
enues and many roads arc in pre-
carious financial condition In some
instances without funds to purchase
supplies, a group of railways exccu-
lives declared today before the house
commerce commission.
Urging amendment OF tho transport
tation act to enable the carriers to OBJ
tain partial settlements for losses sus-
tained during tho six months guaran-
to period after government control
ended. the delegation which included
Daniel Willard, president of the Balti
moro g. Ohio, and Samuel Rea, head of
the Pennsylvania told tho committee
that relief must be granted Immediate
ly il tho transportation system of the
country is to function effectively.
Others who urged quick action on
relief legislation were William J.
Hobbs. vice president of the Boston
and Maine; NJ. L. Bell. general coun-
sci for tho Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific: and T. Dewitt Cuyler and
Alfred ?. Thom, chairman and general
counsel, respectively of tho Associa-
ton OF railway executives.
Chairman Clark of the tnterJtats
commerce commission also advocated
amendment OF tho transportation act
to premit partial settlement Of the rail-
roads claim.
Mr.. Willard declared that tho Balt-'
more e Ohio, has practically stopped
purchasing supplies because its OH
ciais don't SEQ how they will be able
to pay for them" The company a.
present, he added. is not even earning
interest on its investment.
MIR, Rea said the earnings OF tho
roads since they wero granted higher
rates had not been as grea. as anti
cipated. while Mr.. Thorn explained that
thero had been an appreciable slump
in traffic resulting, he added. in a con-
siderable decrease in revenue. The sit
uation was characterized by Mr.. Hobbs
as exceedingly acute" The Boston
& Maine he added, lis at its wits end
as to how IL will meet its obligations
and get supplies"
The railroads tho executives con-
tended have been unable to file fnst
complete statements of their losses
with the interstate commerce as re-
dured, in order to obtain payment OF
tho amount due them because many
claims against the carriers have not
been filed and they are unable to de-
tcrmine Just what their complete losses
will be.
