C. B. & @. T OISSUE
S60.OOO.OOO IN BONDS

Washington, Feb. 2S-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission refused
today to permit the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroad company to
issue a bond dividend of $S0,000.000 to-
be used in retiring part of $4,000, 900
of bonds issued to finance the pur-
chase of 81 per cent. of the roads
stock by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railroad companies.
The commission, however, did grant
the company permission to issue n
stock dividend of $60.000000 to CAPT.
talize part Of it's property paid fer
out Of surplus earnings.
In denying the application for au-
thority to issue the bonds, the COM
mission said that the issue would
materially increase the company's in
terest burden without apparent ne
cessity and that "the more adaptable
form of mortgage which the applicant
desires can be provided without the
issuance of bond dividend"
The commission held that the pres-
ent capitalization of the road is far
below the actual investment or any
fair. value for rate making purposes,
and that the increase in capitalize
ton which would follow the present
action of the commission in granting
the authority the road asked to in
crease its capitalization would sill
leave the capitalization beloY the ac-
tual investment and the probable fair
value Of the road. This ruling up
held the arguments of the road be-
fore the commission that its seeming
large earnings were large only in
proportion to its small. capitalization,

BOOMS STATE As
GROWER Of CORN
PLACES SOUTH DA-
KOTA ON MAP AS LEADING
CORN PRODUCING REGION.

Huron, April 23.-Farmers in 10
states contributed 431 carloads of
gift-corn for thes relief of starving
people in Europe and the near east.
according to a report from Carl
Vrooman, general director of the
gift-corn project for the American
farm bureau federation.
South Dakota made one Of the
best shOwlngs IN proportion 10 pop
ulation ana corn produced with
gift or Il carloads. The gifts of the
other states We're; Illinois. l47;
Ohio, 81; Indiana, 44; Minnesota,
"A; Iowa, So; Missouri, 22: Ne
braska. 20; Kansas. 16 and Colo
rado 4.
Mr.. Vrooman estimates that the
value of this corn when processed
and delivered across the water will
be at the rate of S12 a bushel. At
that rate, the 100000 bushels con-
tributed in the 431 carloads will be
worth at the destination, s7.200,-
900. South Dakota's gift is worth
about S450,00O.
The success of this project is due,
say farm bureau officials, not only to
the generosity of the farmers but
also TO the cooperation of the rail-
roads, both operators and brother
hoods; of the mills of Jackson
Brothers, Chicago, who devoted the
entire time of many men of their or
ganization in routing the corn and
TO Carl s. Vrooman, who donated
his services as director His entire
time for weeks has been given with
out pay to this movement.
A comparison of the gifts of the
states and their corn production
should satisfy, our farmers who took
part in the gift-corn project, accord
ing to the state farm bureau office
in Huron.
No other piece of work could
have been more effective in adver-
tising to the whole United States
that South Dakota grows good mill
ing corn and lots of it, 1t will i'm
press upon the country the fact that
this state produced 10000, 900
bushels of corn last year, 10th in the
list of corn states, whereas before
this many did not know that South
Dakota was anything but a wheat
state.
This event will help back up the
effective advertising of the state i'm
