FEDERAL STORAGE FOR CROPS

Suppose the government We're to fol-
low Thomas A. Edison's suggestion for
agricultural relief, building warehouses
all over the country in which the farm
ers could store their products and giving
them credit for half its value How
would it work out?
Pretty well for the farmers, in all
probability. They would be able to hold
their crops for higher prices. But it
would certainly require pretty strict con-
troll on the part of the government to
hold the storage system down to legiti-
mate uses and keep the organized farm
ers of the nation from erecting a vast
agricultural monopoly, with greater pos
sibilities of oppression than any from
which the public ever suffered. Prices
would be Stabilized" but they might
be stabilized at oppressively high levels.
Also, if this We're done for the farm
ing industry, would there not be a de-
mand for similar government help in
tiding over other industries and en-
abling them to store their products, at
the expense of the nation, in time of
over production or slack demand?

Sir Edward Elgar, who celebrates his
65th birthday today, is one of the most
famous living composers, considering
which fact it is a somewhat remarkable
circumstance that he has never had a
lesson in composition in his life. a
great deal of his success as a musician
is probably due to heredity. for his ia
Their was an excellent musician, and he
commenced life in home where music
was loved. One of his first appointments
was bandmaster in an English lunatic
asylum. where he used to conduct an
orchestra composed of the attendants. In
those days he thought nothing of writ
ing the whole score of a piece for the
princely sum of a dollar or two. Nova
days bis income runs into many thou
sands of dollars a year. He first at
tracted attention with his FrOissart in
1890. and 10 years later his position as
one of the most remarkable of modern
British composers was made secure with
the presentation of his oratoriO, The
Dream of GerontiuS.

NO SUMMER DULNEsS.

Business is usually expected to be dull
in the summer. Naturally there is an
expectation of more than the usual dull
ness after a dull winter 1t is pleasant,
therefore, to find a competent business
authority announcing that very likely
the approaching summer will not be dull
at all.
IL He is moved to this hopeful view by
many considerations-th boom in the
building and automotive industries. the
steadily increasing employment in nearly
all lines, the resumption of buying by
farmers, the rising of stock market
prices, the renewal of suspended divi-
dend payments, the defation of railroad
rates and the great merger movement in
the cOuntry's leading industries. The
enthusiasm for mergers alone indicates
a widespread belief that a new era of
business activity is beginning.
If business is destined to be really
good during July and August, certainly
there can be no doubt as to what is GO
ing to happen in the fall.

Vermont Horses for Vermont.
RUTLAND Herald

Horses are by no means being driven
out of their jobs as handy and efficient
power for the average farm. Further
more. it will be a long while before they
are eliminated.
This is given fresh evidence by the
purchase, by a Bennington county breed
ers' association, of a $1,000 stock horse
''to develop bigger and better draft ami
mails for the farm"
Some Vermont breeders have given the
MOrgans some little attention, but they
have shown a rather strange readiness
to purchase weStern-bred horses for
draft purposes, dealers having made
thousands of dollars by railrOading range
horses into Vermont, then selling them
to supply local needs.
Now that it has been pretty well dem
onStrated that the gas engine, truck and
tractor are not going to displace the
horse on the large majority of Vermont
farms, it would be a good thing if Yer
monters paid more attention to breeding
their own natural power.
The sooner we begin to supply our
selves with what we need by producing
it in Vermont, the sooner we will become
economically superior to the outside
world and the less money will be sent
''out west" for horses, hogs, grain, meat
and wool.
One of the truest things ever said by
tile late Theodore y. Vail was that Yer
mont must not only consider the neces-
sity of supplying herself with fQodstuffs
but must be prepared to supply food
stuffs to q part of the nOn-producing
populations of the large cities 1t is just
as true of horses and other livestock
We ought to begin growing our own. .

ACCEPTING THE RATE CUT.

The eastern railroads have announced
their acceptance of the rate cut ordered
by the interstate commerce commission.
The rest, though somewhat more strong
ly opposed, are expected to follow suit.
This is wise. The cut is by no means
drastic. In fact, it amounts to consid-
erably less than it is generally under
stood to be. The ten per cent reduction
covers only classes of freight that were
not affected by the last set of rate re-
auctions. It's actual effect, therefore, is
expected to be no more than a five per
cent cut on the total volume of railroad
freight.
1t is generally agreed that the roads
can stand this without serious loss dur
ing the summer months, particularly
when counteracted by wage cuts an
nounced and expected, and that the in
creased volume of traffic in the fall will
easily make up any temporary loss of
income.

HOOVER GETS PRICE.
Announces Maximum of $3.50 Ton at
the Mine.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Establish-
ment of a maximum price of $3.50 ton
for coal at the mines in so per cent of the
present production fields for the dura-
ton of the strike was announced last
night by Secretary Hoover. He regret
ted. he added that small minority of
the operators, representing western
Kentucky, had refused to cooperate and
are demanding higher prices.
Consumers can insure themselves a
square deal under the established prices
by checking freight rates with the maxi
mum price. Mr. Hoover said, determine
whether they are buying contract coal
and make proper allowances for cost of
retail distribution. The maximum price.
he explains, applies solely to spot coal
and consumers who are not treated
fairly may appeal to the commerce de-
partment with assurance that inquiry
into their cases will be instituted.
