Last year a number of farmers
scattered over the country planted
Red Glover for seed production. This
year considerable acreage is being
planted to this crop, which is worth

production is low and returns are so
good. Red Glover is one Of the best OF
crops to build up the land as it is a

1T ALSO HANDICAPS IDAHO

If there were line OF railroad
south out of Idaho into California orr
crops would reach a natural market.
Such a line is possible through con-
struction from Rogerson, Idaho, to
Wells, New, and the building of the
great American Falls Reservoir con-
stitutes leading influence in favor
of such construction. There is SINH
lar prospect leading farther north In
the Snake River valley. Idaho could
use these new lines. So could every
western state. The demand for this
added transportation Is wholly out of
proportion to the ability to construct,
for railroad building necessitates
very large capital, and this must CON /;

In railroad securities. No earnings
are permissible that would begin to
supply the enormous amount of cap
ital required.
Better markets, nearer markets,
with less crop competition between
producer and buyer are equivalent 10
freight reductions. They spell the
thing we want-profits on our pro-
duce. -
Senator Borah recently pointed out
in q speech in the senate that freight
reductions were impossible while
transportation companies were fore
ed to such heavy costs, including an
astounding increase in taxation, the
figures of which he gave In detail So
1t is essential to have markets near

ton seems to be the remedy.
Because it is associated with our
agricultural conditions SO closely,
transportation today constitutes
foremost problem in our national life
and Is being given the best thought
Of leading men. The practical thought
Is to bring about conditions that will
once more inspire confidence in rail-
road securities in the minds Of the in
vesting public, whose money is now
denied that class of securities, for the
reasons stated by Senator Borah-
earnings absorbed in mounting costs

ies-and for some others.
