BIG GRAIN RATE
CUT IS PROMISED
MILWAUKEE RAILROAD Will.
MAKE FLAT PRICE OF 10
CENTS FROM SIOUX CITY
TO CHICAGO.

Sioux City, Sept. 30-An import
ant victory for Sioux City grain
dealers is seen in the plans of the
Milwaukee railroad to make a flat
rate of 16 cents from Sioux City to
Chicago on grain shipments original
ern Nebraska and northwestern
Iowa, effecteive within a month, ac-
cording to advices received in Sioux
City by M. King, president of the
Western Terminal Elevator COM
pany.
The territory covered by the con-
cession is practically all Sioux City
trade territory and means a rapid eX-
pansion of the market here, Mr.
King explained. A large amount of
grain from nearly S5 stations in Ne
braska alone, together with ship
ments from many other points IN
South Dakota and Iowa, instead Of
being transported via Omaha to Chi
cago and st. Louis. in the future
will flow through Sioux City. il is
said.
Through the elimination of all ar
bitraries on Milwaukee lines in this
territory, which the change grants,
dealers here will be given the same
advantages as Omaha dealers, by a
reduction Of cents a 100 pounds
on ali the grain offered from these
points, according to Mr.. King. Al
the present time Sioux City operat-
ors are working under the handicap
of the alleged discrimination, it is
pointed out.
In other words, the concession
will make the rate from Nebraska
to Chicago via Sioux City the same
as the Nebraska rates to ST. Louis,
Mo, via Omaha, and will give Sioux
City an even break, Mr.. King said.
The movement to procure the con-
cession had been sought for num-
ber of years, according to Mr.. King.

FARM PRODUCTS
SHOW DECREASE
BRITISH AGRICULTURISTS DIS
SATISFIED WITH MEAGER
REWARD FOR LABOR.

London, Sept. 30-"Farmers and
their laborers everywhere are pro-
foundly dissatisfied with the meager
reward accorded to their toll, :" writes
the labor correspondent of the Daily
Nail, as a result of tour of the az
ricultural districts i'm England. at
is true that farmers are notorious
grumblers," he says, but there can
be no doubt that at the present time
they have exceptional, perhaps un-
precedented cause therefor.
Through some gross and glaring
defect in our distributing methods a
monstrous proportion of their labor $
just wage is falling into the pOcke;s
of profiteering middlemen, and little
or nothing of 1t goes to the actual
workers and producers. The result
is that the farmers are unable 90
afford decent pay 10 their laboTers,
and are even compelled in many
cases to dispense with paid work al
together. Consequently the state
has to maintain thousands of men
in idlenes sat a cost of millions of
pounds, while the land is being
starved in productiveness for lack of
labor
AT the same time, in the vital de-
fensive business of self-feeding, the
country is losing all that it gained
during the war Most of the land
which was under the plow is return-
ing to permanent pasture, In 1913
we had 12,309,00O acres of arabic
land; last year we had only 11,309,-
900. eYt the grass land is 1,401,-
600 less than in 1914, and the total
area of both crops and grass has di-
minished by more than 100000
acres.'

900 tons of coal a week must be un-
loaded at Duluth and other north

is to suffer a serious shortage.
There is always a general car
shortage at this time of the year due
To the great crop movement said
s. M. FELTON,, president of the Chi

for western rail heads, but as far
as coal carrying equipment goes,
there is no shortage reported.

northwestern roads will have TO send

point at Duluth The eastern roads
will have TO take their cars used in

be enough to meet the emergency.

showery. Sunshine was abundant.
The weather was ideal for farm

fall plowing is being done but the
ground generally is too dry for this
work. The dry weather continued to

Hay Haulers
Demand Raise

Presho, Sept. 30-Hay hauling
came to sudden stop at this place
when the haulers went out on a
strike for more pay per ton hauled.
They wanted $3.50 for a ton when
they had received So. The truck
and a half tons at each trip and us
ually make two or more trips per
day. The team haulers use four
horses and usually put on more than
three tons per load. While the team
haulers do not make as many trips
per hay they have less expense than
the auto truck drivers.
The shippers say they can not pay
any more for haulage at this time OF
the year on account of the hay moi
being SO good in color. The earlier
cut hay looks greener, sells better
though not any better in quality
but does not receive the cut in price
that the later cut grass receives and
for this reason the shipper has ne
idea of the grade which his product
will receive and If he pays more fol
hauling will lose money on tht
transaction
BY the last of the week it is ex
| pected that the new haulers will bs
bringin gin the big loads as usua
and that the shipments will con
tinue although for some time /
looked as though the shippins
would be discontinued for the year
