WILL REDUCE HARVEST
TRANSPORTATION RATES ON
HAY WILL PREVENT SHIPPING
DEALERS SAY THOUSANDS OF
TONS WILL NOT DE CUT
THIS YEAR"
Western Newspaper Union Ssus ser,lceD

Observation-Disclosures of hay from
Omaha, Kansas City and other mar
kets has been curtailed more than 20
per cen by increased freight rates, ac-
cording to dealers who appeared before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
In hearings on hay and grain freight
rates. Because hay is II cheap com
modify and moves longer distances
than other products, the traffic has
suffered more than others, Witnesses
said, and thousands of acres of prairie
hay in the West will not be cut this
year.
d.. B. Tllson, traffic expert Of the
Kansas City hay exchange, said hay
raised in the Imperial valley of Cali
fornia could be transported by water
through the Panama canal 10 New
York for $l2.75 a ton against a freight
charge by rail from Kansas city To
New York amounting TO $3.50.
N. C. Campbell, president of the
Kansas City Hay Dealers Association,
testified that before the increase in
rates last year Kansas City, said to be
the largest hay market In the world,
handled 10000 cars of hay a eason
much OF which went to the South and
Southeast, 10 feed stock used In pro
ducing cotton, sugar and other farm
products. With the increase In rates
the Kansas City market tonnage was
reduced by half, he said, farmers be-
ing unable TO use hay costing $50 a ton
as a stock feed.
James II. Suite OF the t%ransporta-
ton department of the Omaha ex-
change, told of conditions In Nebraska
and surrounding states.
Quantities OF hay will not be cut
this year, he said, because freight rates
have been SO increased that the terri
tory to which hay could be shipped at
reasonable prices has been reduced
and prices have fallen with the reduc-
tiOn of competition.
Attorneys for the carriers objected
to the reading into the record of state
ments made by absent persons regard
ing the effect of freight rates, and
were sustained by Commissioner
Lewis.
Rate experts who will be put on the
stand by the grain committee, 1t was
indicated, will undergo lengthy cross
questioning by railroad attorneys.

Making History.

INFANT MORTALITY in past ages has been something fishdal something
= almost beyond belief and even today it occupies the time and the mind OF
leading physicians in all countries. The death rate among infants is being grad
ualy reduced through new methods ofhygiene, new representatives. and new rene
dies for infants This reduction in the death rate has NOT been accomplished by
adapting the precautions taken and remedies used by adults. Rather has it been
to keep clear of the old methods, and choose after long research the precautions
and remedies specifically applicable to infants.
This being Sc, is it necessary for us to caution mothers against trying to
give her baby relief with a remedy that she would use for herself? Will she
remember that Flemhers Castona is strictly a remedy for infants and children?
