ders placed this year have slackened
materially. Over 490 new engines
were ordered in the first quarter of
the year.
More important than the new squip-
ment is the improvement made by
the carriers in loading, unloading
and Transporting freight: Engines
heavily loaded. longer distances,
than ever before. Delays in return of
empties have been greatly curtailed.
Some gain has been due to the in
creased use of motor trucks by car :
riers for transporting short-haul
freight. This has released railroad
for long mainline hauls
and obviated hitherto unavoidable le
congestion in large terminals. Evil
ing are visible in every section.
Railway Offciars Comment.
In TINS connection Gerrit Fort, vice
president of the Boston and Maine
railroad, said:
my vision is not so narrow as to
prevent me from seeing that If the
truck is able to furnish better trans
facilities than the railroads
at equal rates or equal facilities at
lower rates, the railroads cannot ex-
pect to hold their business. The
truck represents a natural economic
developments, and for short distances
can, in many instances, supply cheap
er and more convenient transport ta-
fer. But if the truck is allowed to
skim the cream of the profitable short
haul business, railroad rates on re-
traffic must, of necessity, be
so constructed as to make up the
Ioss."

RAILWAYS PLANNING
MOVEMENT OF CROPS
Middle West States Expecting
Bounteous Output Of Products
! for Transportation.
ROADS READY WITH CARS
Improved Methods in Loading and
/ Unloading Announced.
BY j. @. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Although crops
: are late this season in nearly all the
agricultural = districts, the railroads
1have already begun to marshal their
equipment to handle the movement
rof agricultural products. There is
Severy indication that the crop move
-ment will be carried out more easily,
more expeditiously and satisfactorily
ethan ever before, despite the heavy
zsyield expected in many of the grow
ing districts.
= The middle west states expect one
of the most bounteous crops ever
produced in the section. Freight cars
now are being set out on SidingS at
: strategic point. This movement be-
: gan three weeks ago with the assem-
bling of $4,000 cars. The number now
. has increased to between $4,000 and
10000 and $4,000 additional will be
moved into Missouri Kansas, south
= ern Nebraska, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas within the next sixty days:
Barring unforeseen tie-ups, railroad
executives expect no difficulty in get
ting together the $4,000 cars which
will be required in those states. Cali
=. fornia will require about $4,000 cars.
Kansas Has Bright Prospect.
The Kansas crops alone are expect
ed to bring IN $4,000 900 to farmers
.of that state. The grain yield of
Texas, authorities declare, will be
larger than last year, owing to advan
tageous rains and growing weather.
Colorado and Nebraska crops are
known to be in fine condition and the
northwest looks forward to pros
porous season. The cereal crops of
california are not so advantageously
placed. but the damage, due to
drought, to barley, wheat and oats in
that state has been counterbalanced
to some extent by the way fruits have
recovered from winter froStS. Early
fruits and vegetables are already
moving in volume to the market from
the south and west and prices are de-
..Clared acceptable to growers in the
Jnajority of the districts, according to
state agricultural authorities.
Railroad officials are confident there
will be no disastrous car shortage.
Freight car orders so far this year
have averaged about 5000 weekly.
New orders for freight cars totaled
.6O,231 in the first three months of the
year, or nearly 5000 more than in the
corresponding period of 1928, which
was a banner period. In April ap-
aproXimately 10000 more were or
dered. AS builders had untitled or
- ders on their books on January 1 to-
- falling 24.397 cars, the first four
months has seen prospective addi-
: tions to equipment amounting TO
- nearly 100,0 900 cars.
:, 100000 Cars Added in 1923.
:, In addition to these facts, it must
!, be remembered that the railroads
aided nearly 10000 cars to their
equipment in 1923. These were ac-
.stually delivered and now should be
/. available for use. Locomotive buying

Colorado has prospects of a crop

Dakota, Texas. Oklahoma, Wyoming
and New Mexico.

Reports in this department show
that stocks of coal in this state are
very low; that the prices are at low

utilities commission.
The mines are now in position

and other commodities viii begin

suits might follow.
