Load Team Haul Depends
Largely on the Highway
Practical Pulling Contests for Horses
and Mules at Iowa Fair are First
of Kind Ever Made

The world never has known what
a horse could do until pulling con-
tests were conducted here for the
first time in the history of the world,
says dispatch from the Iowa state
fair.
Prof. E. v. Collines of the Iowa
College of Agriculture and Expert.
ment Station at Ames, used his new
invention, a dynamometer, in the
tests which horsemen said would lead
to the selection Of sires on perform
ance and revolutionize the draft
horse and mule industry. Some of
the results were these:
The size of load a team can pull
depends on the road-the same team
drawing three tons on concrete
pavement easier than one ton on g
firm dirt road.
Teams developing 1900 pounds
tractive drawing pull started and
pulled a 24-ton load over a level
pavement and sc tons after they
were once started.
Tested teams showed all the way
from So to 21.2 horse power and

tractive pull.
Heavier teams surpassed the light.
er ones, starting loads with less ex.
haustion and taking them easier and
more quickly to destinations.
The feature demonstrations was
made with 6,240 pounds of grain in
sacks on a new farm wagon. TIC
move this load of 1870 pounds gross
weight required tractive pulls of 125
pounds on a concrete pavement, zoe
pounds on brick pavement, 900
pounds on asphalt and $50 pounds on
a good dirt road. Collaborating. in.
ertests, the result showed that a 3-tor
load is more easily handled by team
on a concrete road than 1-ton on q
dirt road. 1t was taken as evidence
that permanent highways are bigger
time and money savers for farmers
than previously estimated.
With the Collins dynamometer
predetermined loads can be imposed
on horses for any required distance
or time, and pair after pair can be
tested with absolute assurance that
the load is the same. This has never
before been possible although much
desired for constructive breeders

MARKET CLOSES HEAVY.

by the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK. June 27.-Weakness of
the railroad shares in the face of
unusually favorable May earnings
reports was the disturbing feature
of today's stock market. Rails ap-
parently were sold in expectation of
increased wage demands by the
brotherhoods. Industrials yielded in
sympathy. Commission house liquida-
ton of weakened marginal accounts
was an important factor. Sales were
approximately 100000 shares.
Nearly four score stocks registered
new minimum prices for the year.
United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel.
American Car and Studebaker were
among the representative industrials
that sold at new lows early in the
afternoon, while Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Northern Pacific, Great
Northern preferred. Norfolk and
Western and Chicago and North
western attained that distinction in
the railroad section.
The closing was heavy. Recognized
leaders showed better resistance to
selling pressure in the late dealings.
but prices of minor shares continued
to melt away.

NEW Low RECORDS
IN BOND MARKET
Reaction Extends Through
Whole List-very Little
New Buying Noted.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 27.-In some
cases new low records were made for
the year on the bond market today.
The reaction extended practically
throughout the entire list. High
grade legal ailroad bonds were quiet
but even here there were plenty of
bonds offered just above the market
and there was no eagerness to buy.
United States government issues,
especially the old Az Liberties, re-
acted with the rest.
1t was in the second-grade and
speculative rails, however, that the
greatest weakness occurred. st. Louis,
San Francisco adjustment 6s, which
lost over three points yesterday, con-
tinued their decline today, selling at
about the low of the year to date
on an S.65 per cent basis.
The improvement in the st. Louis
Francisco's earnings, and the fact
that interest has always been earned
and paid on this bond since issued,
have given it an investment rating,
but at today's quotation it gave re-
turn ordinarily afforded by only
speculative bonds Phe same roads
income 6s were also heavy, but still
well above the low of the year. A
siX-dollar interest payment comes off
the price of this bond on October 1,
next.
Railroad Bonds Drop.
Chesapeake and Ohio Convertible SIS,
Seaboard Air Line Consolidated 6s,
Erie General As, Denver and Rio
Grande Refunding 5s, Missouri Pa
cific General As and St Paul Refund
ing AZ s all went lower. 1t was no.
ticeable that even short term issues
were affected. or instance Baltimore
and Ohio 6s of 1929 sold below par
and at the low of the year.
1t is hard to explain this selling Of
railroad bonds except as part of a
curity is just as good as IL was six
months ago when they were selling
many points higher.
Meanwhile the roads have been
carrying record-breaking traffic
with increased gross earnings. much
OF which has been saved for net.
If anything. continued interest pay
ments on these speculative and semi
speculative railroad bonds are better
assured now than in January and
February last. The political outlook
Is certainly not encouraging and
there are increasing labor costs to be
reckoned with, but the financial con-
ditton is greatly improved.
Investors, however, were not at
tracted by today's low prices. The
decline has gone just far enough to
persuade the potential buyer that it
may go farther and not far enough
to persuade him that present quota
tions represent bargain prices.
Foreign bonds were heavy but rot
noticeably weak. French cities is
sues went lower. but attracted some
support. Bolivia SIS lost fractionally
and Czechoslovak SIS sold at their re-
cent low.
