The order as issued by the commits

transportation act Of 1920 and pre-
scribes rules for the application Of
these sections.
Railroads during the four months
specified in the order are understood
to have earned q considerable amount
in excess Of the per cent. limitation
prescribed by Congress. but the va!ua-
tion not having been given out for the
individual lines the amounts cannot
yet be calculated. The transportation

March 1. 1922, rates should be mada
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion sufficient to give the railroads at
least 81 per cent. on their properties
provided for the recovery by the gov.
ernment of half Of all the amount
earned by any road over 6 per cent.
The commission in fixing the rates
found a tentative value for railroad
property by groups throughout the
United States but did not segregats
this to individual roads.
General increases were granted in
rates in 1920 and during the last four
months of the year while, traffic vol.
umes were large, railroad earnings
were reported in excess of the 6 per
cent clause but for all Of the months
Of 1921 and so far in 1929 the returns
have not indicated that any sums
could be collected by the government
under the law.
The statute also provided that In
case excess earnings were recaptured
by the government the morev should
be paid into special fund for the
purpose of lending to railroads and re-
paying advances made by the govern
ment to railroads.

Feeding Yeast to Hens Found Not
Beneficial

Preliminary tests have peen carried
on by the Poultry Husbandry Divi-
sion of the United States Department
Of Agriculture in~the use Of yeast as
a feed for laying hens. 'he theory be-
ing that this material was extreme
ly high in vitamines and particularly
valuable in the dietary Of laying hens.
In the initial test the yeast was dis
solved in warm water. added to the
| mash, and the mixture allowed to
stand for~,24 hours until the yeast
had thoroughly permeated the feed.
While the hens ate this mash fairly
well. with the result that their egg
production was slightly increased for
short period. apparently they SCI
tired Of the mixture and did not con-
sumo 1t with a relish. Subsequently.
decreased egg production resulted,
and the mortality among the fowls
which received the yeast was notice.
ably higher than in the pens not re-
ceiving it.
1t is thought that this mortality
was due to changes occurring in the
mash which developed while it was
being held in moist condition for
the 24-hour period previous to feed
ing. rather than as a result Of the
yeast itself. The moist mash was
discontinued and the experimental
pens were put on a dry mash con-
tanning 1 per cent Of dried fresh
yeast The condition Of the flock I'M
proved materially with this change.
and the birds soon resumed their nor
NAL appearance. with fair egg pro-
duction.
However. the egg iyield was not
greater than that from check pens
without the yeast. Thereafter. 8 per
cent Of yeast which was air and sun
dried and fed in ground condition
was used in the mash without any
perceptible increase in egg produce
tien. These tests in the feeding of
yeast were not conducted on a very
extensive scale. nor long enough to
determine thoroughly its value. The
results were not promising and unless
some better method Of feeding the
yeast is found this product is not
likely to be Of much value for laying
hens.

Ready to Organize
Farmers of Nation

Washington, Jan. zs-The National
Agricultural Conference. which closed
last night after adopting recommen-
dations designed to alleviate present
farm depression and prevent recur-
renee of such condition. was hall
ed as "the most far-reaching confer
ence of farmersever held" in q state
ment issued tonight by J. r. Howard,
president of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation. lone of the largest
farmers organizations.
The recommendations Of the con-
ference were Endorsed by Mr.. How
ard tonight and during the day were
made the basis Of study by Secretary
Wallace and other sofficials. upon
whom will devolve the task Of making
them effective. Il
Referring to President Hardins's
suggestion in opening the conference
that the farmers Of the Nation seek
to unite in cooperative organizations
Mr.. Howard, in his statement. said:
"The Farm Bureau will undertake
to organize all the farmers OF the Ma
ton and unite them into strong com
modify marketing associations which
will improve the distribution of food
to the lasting benefit. of both con-
sumer and producer. y We want to
bring. the eater and grower closer
together"
"The. cooperative marketing move
ment as fostered by the American
Farm Bureau Federation is pro-
test expressed in action against ex :
cessive marketing and distributive
costs It is not a new thing. 1t has
been carried on successfully in Eu-
! rope for hundreds of years. Within
less than so years, Denmark, through
cooperative marketing. has reduced
distribution costs so that the pyo-
ducers receive u cents of the con-
sumer's dollar, more than twice as
much as we get here and through
cooperative marketing, has rebuilded
her entire national prosperity.
SECRETARY Wallace comes out of
the National Agricultural Conference
with his hands greatly strengthened
to perform real and definite service
for agriculture and the nation. Par
ticularly notable in the Endorsements
of the conference is the farmers de-
mand for early completion of the st.
Lawrence deep waterway. the devel:
opment of Muscle Shoals by Henry
Ford, the building of credit ma
chine adapted to a farm turnover at
reasonable rates of interest. and the
farmers demand that both capital
and labor must share alike in the
readjustments which have already
hit agriculture.
"The Endorsement by the confer
ence of the agricultural broc is sig
nificant."
