RAILWAY VALUATION
THREE BILLION HIGH
FARM FEDERATION WINDS UP
POWERFUL ARGUMENT FOR RE-
DUCED RATES IN INQUIRY

St. Paul, March 2:-The valuation of
the railroads of the United States; as
fixed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for rate making purposes, is at
least $4,000, 100000 too high, attorneys
for the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton declared in winding up powerful
appeal for immediate freight rate re-
tluction, in government rate hearings
at Washington, D. c.
The arguments and evidence submit
ted by the farm bureau in it's fight for
further rate cuts have just been re-
ceived by the Minnesota federation
headquarters in St. Paul.
In rate hearings covering an entire
month, the American Farm Bureau
federation swas the only shippers or
ganization in the country to Introduce
as evidence general financial analysis
of railroad earnings and expenses as a
basis for demand that freight charges
lc reduced still farther.
So far, agriculture has been the only
industry in the United States to obtain
q substantial rate reduction. The
farm bureau is recorded as the only
farmers organization in the country
that appeared to fight for reduced
freight rates when the government
opened hearings on hay and grain rates
last fall. Rate cuts averaging Is per
cent resulted from the farmers fight
in this case; and Immediately after the
hearings ended, the farm bureau began
legal action to force further cuts In

100 BRED soWs SOLD THROUGH
UNIQUE PLAN

+ A plan by which two livestock breed,
ers in the Red River valley distributed
more than 100 registered Duroc Jersey
sows to members Of boys and girls
clubs and farmers during 1921, with
the stipulation that the breeders buy
back from the purchasers of the sows
all the improved, spring narrowed, reg
istered gifts raised, is creating strong
interest, according to G. G. Selvig,
superin tendent of the Northwest School
Of Agriculture and president Of the
Red River Valley Livestock associa-
tion.
Fred S. Clark and Charles E. Franks
of Warren agreed to pay a premium
above the top St. Paul market for hogs.
The purchaser of the SOW was assured
definite market for his gifts that at
tanned a certain standard of weight
within specified time, and was given
instructions in feeding.
The Clearbrook, Leonard, Gonvick,
Trail and Gully communities which
took the sows last year will buy more
in 1922, along with farmers around
Shevlin, Bagley and Fosston. Practi-
cally all purchasers secured outstand-
ing results last year.
Messrs. Clark and Franks arc offer
ing purebrcd Hereford bull to tho
boy or girl who makes the best 1922
record. In addition, silver trophies
will be awarded to the junior who

rates on all farm products. Conferen-
ces between railroad officials and farm
bureau leaders followed, and the net
result was a so-called Involuntary" cut
Of 10 per cent in freight charges on
practically every product Of the Amer
lean farm. III. .a IL
Hearings just concluded in Washing
ton covered rates on hundreds of COM
modities, and open up the way for still
further reductions.
Farm bureau attorneys pointed out
that the testimony of the eastern rail
roads, chief witness showed that in
spite of small volume of traffic, the
roads were earning 5.2l per cent on
their property investment. The proper
ty investment figure, they asserted, Is
$4,000 100000 higher than the par val
ne of all the railway bonds and stocks
outstanding in the hands of the public,
and from five to six billion dollars high
er than the market value Of these Sc
curities.
tThe par value of all stocks and
bonds outstanding in the hands of the
public (water and all) is approximately
s., 900 100000 less than tho tentative
valuation made by the Interstate Com
mcrce commission, the federation de-
clared.
It's attorneys argued that with the
railroads earning 5.21 percent income
on their property investment, their
earnings on a fair valuation would
amount to more than seven per cent
during the coming year. The latest
q xra;1oh1a government statistics, they
pointed out, showed that in October
1921. the value of farm products was
only 20 percent higher than in prewa1
times. with many products actually be-
low the prewar level, while the rail
roads, income per ton Of freight hauled
,, one mile was II percent higher than
, in 1914 and 1915.

APPROPRIATIONS HIT MINNESOTA
BUTTER

:'Importation of butter from Den
mark, Australia and New Zealand is
seriously affecting eastern butter mar
kcts, the duty of six cents a pound not
being sufficient to prevent large i'm
portations Of foreign BUTTER" says A.
j. Mcclure, dairy specialist with the
agricultural extension division Of the
University of Minnesota.
"What is equally serious,' he says,
"is the fact that Minnesota butter
lacks uniformity and much Of it lacks
quality, as evidenced in the range Of
prices being paid.
"Thc time is here when Minnesota
cooperative crcamcries must work to-
gethcr for uniformity and quality If
they are to keep the eastern markets
as they have had them during the last
20 years. says Mr.. Mcclure. "Thcrc
is serious need of cooperation.

has become one Of the most widely
known literary critics of the country,
will be the speaker. Mr.. Candy will
talk in popular way on "Good Books
and How to Read Them" He is at
present editor of The Literary Review
of the New York Evening Post. Since
1916, he has been advisor in literary
composition with the rank of profess
sor at Yale University. He is the

Country Club
Wants Members
Excellent Opportunity Offered to
100 Persons Up Until
September lst

Are there one hundred people here
in Newark who want to join one of the
finest organizations in this vicinity?
If there are trip to any member of
the Newark Country Club will get you
into this organization.
At the present time the Country
Club is making drive for one hun
dred new members and, according to
the early reports, it is not going to
be long until this many new men,
bers have been obtained.
There are few people of the town
who realize what an excellent golf
course the local club has up there on
Quality Hill. There have been two
tournaments held there recently and
in both of these tournaments there
have been several out-of-town players
who have all said that the local course
was an excellent one. Among the
players who have visited here was
one from London, England, the land
of golf, and he gave much praise to
the local club for the excellent course
provided.
At the present time the officials of
the club are planning to place four
tennis courts on the clubs property.
Two of these courts will be put in
Immediately while the other two will
follow in the course of time.
This will give another branch sport
for the members who do not play golf,
Another big point in this drive for
new members is the fact that as soon
as the membership warrants it the
local course will be increased from a
nine-hole course to full eighteen hole
course. The club owns enough prop
erty to expand to this extent and all
the members are anxious to see the
spreading out process started.
The club house has been placed in
excellent shape, with the installation
of shower baths and other convent
ences and an excellent porch has been
erected overlooking the course and
those who do not wish to "hike" the
course can tell of their "birdies ct al,
TO some visitors who has not played
the course.
The officials of the club are making
special offers to new members COM
ing in before the first of September
and if you want to have good time
with a bunch of real good fellows get
your application in before that time
it will be worth your while.
