LOWER GRAIN RATES
WOULD RUIN SMALL
WESTERN SYSTEMS
Little Roads Need Help In
stead of Hindrance,
Official Testifies.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 13.-Grain
rate reductions under the present
grouping of western railroads would
mean disaster for many small systems
in the grain producing district, rail
officials testified before the Inter
state Commerce Commission here to-
day.
+. Il. Townsend, vice president Of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis Rail
road was the principal witness dur
ing the days session Of the hearing,
being held to determine possibility of
a radical grain freight rate reduction
in fourteen midwest and southwest
states. He testified the entire west
ern group of railroads would have to
be re-grouped to tighten the loads on
the smalleB systems to prevent dis.
continuance of service if the reduc.
ton is granted.
Grain rate reductions under the
present plan work the most hard
ship on the system least able TO stand
Them" he said. "Very nearly 80 per
cent of the grain in the United States
is produced in eight Western states.
These grains form n large percentage
of the traffic carried and move at low
rates compared with the commodities
carried on the trans-Continental
lines.
"As result n grain reduction
would hit the smaller systems serving
these states directly and would affect
the big lines very little. II is the small
which is now in urgent need
Of help rather than hindrance."

been planted in small grain. and while
the crop has not grown much during
the winter, due TO the lack of rain in
December and January, most of the
fields have withstood the adverse con-
ditions and will spring into rapid
growth as soon-as the weather becomes
warmer.
During the three days it rained 2.92
inches. This is more than the usual
precipitation in February, Mr.. Al
Tord said, and. due to the fact that
the rain fell slowly, the maximum
amount of il was absorbed by the
soil. It came too late to afford win
ter pasturage on the grain fields, he
said, however, there is good pros
Feet for an abundant small grain
crop. II is also very beneficial to the
ground intended to be planted in corn
and the planting of this crop will
start as soon as the soil becomes suf-
ficiently warm.
The Bexar County Farm Bureau
and the agricultural department of the
chamber are encouraging the farmers
in this part of the state to plant
selected types of corn and grain sor-
ghum and arc making preparations to
distribute a limited amount Of pure
seed to boys between the ages of rem
and eighteen, who are enrolled in the
boys agricultural clubs of the county.
An example of what can be done with
pure seed, Mr.. Alvord said. was shown
by the record made by the Boys Corn
Club last year. The sweep-stake prize
and the county banner were won by
Bexar county boys on prolific corn at
the Dallas Fair.
