GLOOMY FORECAST FUR FARMERS THIS FALL |S PICTURED
Farm Bureau Director Urges Steps to Insure More
 Freight Cars

CHICAGO, March 16.-Declaring
 that millions of farmers will be con
 fronted with disaster and almost
 certain ruin this summer unless the
 car shortage, which is again increas-
 ing, is ameliorated, C. B. Hutchings
 director of transportation for the
 American Farm Bureau federation,
 has appealed to Donald D. Conn,
 manager of the public relations sec tion, car service division, of the American Railway association, for action.
 In letter to Conn, Friday, Hutch ings explained in detail the plight of the farmer, who, he said, with unprecedented crops in prospect will have no way to ship them unless the following steps are taken by the
 railroads:
 1. Repair of cars neglected during the rail strike.
 ?. Repair of locomotives neglected during the strike.
 3. A demand for instant production
 of rail equipment ordered. A. A demand for immediate super vision and repalr of tracks, thus
  1 and more rapidly.
 Hutchings said that the car short- | age during the rail strike was esti- I mated at IA per cent. Seven per cent, he said, is about normal, but l the rail owners have only succeeded i in bringing the standing down to 10 l per cent, with gradual rise sccur- 1 ring daily.
 Locomotives Below Normal. Locomotives, Hutehings declared are running 25 per cent below nor mal At the present time the short l age, according to Hutchings, is 77,000 cars This, he declared, is an in
 crease of hundreds over a month l ago, with the number rising. The eastern states, Hutchings l pointed out, are feeling the car shortage most seriously now, a lack | of lS,9S2 cars being reported. In | the Allegheny district 15,727 cars are | reported short, and the central states | are 5,965 cars short.
 | The rising car shortage called to l the minds of transportation officials 1 ~ere Friday the warning of President | Harding in a recent letter to a New
 Jersey strike leader that immediate
 steps must be taken to remedy the l effects of the strike, and his pre- i diction of an even more serlous sltu- i ation soon as a result of the rail
 strike, which many believe entirely
 settled but which is still delivering | hard blows to transportation service. 1 The car shortage last fall was re-
 ported to be the greatest in the i country's history At that time the i country was 176.000 cars short.
 Unless immediate steps are taken
 the car shortage last year will be
 mild compared to the one this fall
 and the farmer will be unable to ship
 even his perishable goods" said i HutchingS.

Wrathy Parents

Displaying the heroism OF the
Spartan youngster who allowed
the fox to gnaw out his vltals, the
three runaway New Mexico youths
who are at the county Jail, are an
xiously awaiting word from their
parents which will allow them to
return home, Notwithstanding the
fact that each fully expects Il sound

family domicilc. The youngsters
have had enough, they said today,
and can hardly wait for the time
when they will be on their way to

The boys are William Porter, lG,
Central. New Mexico; Ray Weir,
IA. Dawson, New Mexico and Eu-

the world, but got enough of it i'll
three days to satisfy them for some
time, and were glad when they were
picked up at INLAND Friday and
brought to the county Jail, where
thev ara sure of their meals.
Porter takes pride in the fact
that they made over 600 miles in
three days, but is eager to return
home, despite the "thrashing
which he fully expects. Chapman
and Weir also expect to "gct it
and the latter said he wished he

LOCAL CHAMBER
JOINS IN PLAN
FOR CAR SAVING
Commerce Body Urges
Efficiency in Loading
&, and Unloading

Prompt loading, unloading and
dispatching of freight ears, which
in the first four months OF the
present year increased the capacity
of the railroads in this country 1874
per cent. equivalent to an increase
of 425,O00 cars, is recommended by
the El Centre Chamber of Com
merce, which is working in cooper
alton with the Car Service Division
of the American Railway associa-
ton and the Southern Pacific com
pany, to increase transportation IA
cilities.
Some of the WAYS in which ship
pers can assist efficiency i'll freight
handling are: Ordering cars ac-
eording to loading capacity, re-
stricting car orders to present re-
quircments, avoiding duplication OF
orders where two or more railroads
serve a community, advising rail
road agents of quantity to be ship
ped, prompt and careful loading of
cars and completion of loading be
fore closing time, even if Il little
overtime is necessary to get the
ears loaded, observance Of the
slogan "Load to 10 percent above
capacity of car wherever possible. -
Consignees can cooperate by
prompt unloading Of cars, insistcnce
that ears be loaded to capacity,
complete unloading before closing
time, and ordering shipments only
in accordance with their capacity to
unload them.
Observance of these suggestions
is being urged throughout the coun
try by civic organizations in an eff
fort to improve transportation ia
cilities. An instance of how greater
efficiency in the use of ears has
benefited the shippers i'll shown IL
the record set by the Southern Pa
cific company in May when an av
erage carload of 2S.6 tons was oh
tanned, an increase of half a tor
per ear over April. This was equiv
alent to adding 1,877 ears to the
supply available to shippers Oh the
Southern Pacific company lines.

Since adjournment of congress
this distinguished statesman has
been perhaps the busiest of all the

actually visited the site cf the

visited San Diego at the time of the

hearing which was followed up by
help from Congressman Louis Cram

Madden Appears Friendly
Just before boarding the Levia-
