WEATHER AND CROP REPORT

The week was generally showery
and slightly cool until Sunday, but
the last two days were favorable for
growtlt. GIN planting was mud
delayed by wet ground and many
fields are not yet planted. Early
planted corn made good growth, how
ever. Wheat, oats, and potatoes
made good growth and are in good
condition, although the growth of
wheat was retarded in some sections
by wet weather. Pastures and mea-
dows made excellent growth. Dirt
roads are generally soft. Sunshine
is much needed. Plenty Of black
berries judging from the bloom.
Fruit trees on Highlands full Of
fruit.

ing than even the traffic experts and
the railroad observers expected, but
it was pointed out that the record Of
testimony and the transportation sub
ject itself were of immense magni-
tude. There was also suggestion
that delay might have been desired
in the matter to allow business con-
ditions and price levels to stabilize
further, and to see whether or not the
Railroad Labor Board might find it
possible to allow wage cuts railroads
were seeking.

FREIGHT RATES ARE CUT
BY l. C. G. MILLING TODAY
Before the commission, however,


Washington, May 24--Reduction
in freight rates averaging about 10
per cent were ordered today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
a decision resulting from its inquiry
into the general rate structure of the
nation.
The cut in freight rates was fixed
by the commission at Ia per cent in
Eastern territory. 10 LIZ per cent in
Western territory and IL 1-2 in the
Southern and Mississippi territories.
All reductions ordered are effective
July 1st and constitute greater cut
than was generally expected.
The commission Wondering the de-
creases which are on horizontal bas-
is held that the nations railroads
are entitled to earn Sd per cent on
the value of their property rather
than the approximate per cent as
fixed as a reasonable return in the
Transportation Act of 1920.
transportation charges on passen-
ger travel and Pullman charges were
left unaffected by the decision. o.
The reduction Of 16 1-2 per cent
made in the western hay and grain
rates last Fall and the voluntary 10
per cent cut made in all agricuItural
products by railroads January LIST will
be substituted for the decision on
these commodities.
