RAILROADS PROVE

Heavy Freight Business Is
Index to Continued
Growth of Trade.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE clash and
rumble of huge freight trains are fur
nishing bass note to the industrial
symphony Side tracks and spurs are
spotted with freight cars taking on and
unloading goods and this is sound ana
convincing evidence that business is
progressing without the usual June sag
Railroad car loadings are being main

way operating income Of $94 ,204,ll3 LOT

care for additional freight movement

making an intensive study of routlngs,
as shown by daily traffic, to enable them
to map out a co-ordinated system OF
highways which will improve movement
of that kind was conducted THURSDAY
bv Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern
New Jersey and Northern Delaware. In
each section every traveller by autonno-
bile bus, railroad electric car or ferry
was given a QUESTIONABLE outlining his
or her daily travel habits. Road
building is in full swing throughout the
whole country.
Assurances that the Federal Reserve
hot
are available for needed construction
purposes, although received from pri-
vate sources, have created a better SEN
timent in the building trades. This is
expected to be reflected in lumber, which
has been a trifle dull, in cement ana
in other building materials. The steel
mills are rumbling right along az a
pace close to capacity. There is feel-
ing in some quarters that automoolle
production has passed its peak, but sales
are holding up in an astounding way.
Effect Of Wheat Drop.
The announcement by the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics that the drop
in wheat prices has not really hurt
MANY farmers yet did not have any
reassuring effect on the agricultural
communities. It is true that only those
who held their wheat have seen their
holdings decline in value, but every
farmer has been hurt sentimentally
This has not yet become apparent in the
curtailmert of buying, except in agrl-
culaural implements, but 1t seems likely
to show its effect in the near future
unless Congress takes some action which
will reverse the present mental attitude
of the farmer.
The mail order sales, however. are
still holding up well This, 1t must be
admitted, is due somewhat to the fact
! that much business now comes to the
mail order house from the cities and
| from their own retail stores, as we'll as
from the country districts. The chain
store sales are at a point almost 20
per cent higher than a year ago.

KAUFMAN CO.
WILL BUILD STORE
New Unit to Be Erected by
Clothing Firm at Fourteenth
and | Streets.

Construction of a modern stone store
building on the southeast corner of
Fourteenth and I streets to provide a
home for a new unit of the chain store
business of D. j. kaufman, Inc, mems
clothing concern, will be started in the
near future, it was announced today by
Joseph D. kaufman, president OF the
company.
The new development in the uptown
business section will be OF two stories,
with full-size basement for merchan-
dising. It will have a frontage of 20
feet on Fourteenth street and of approx
imately rs feet on I street, overlooking
Franklin Square.
Plans Expansion.
Mr.. Kaufman said he did not con-
template deserving Pennsylvania avenue,
where his concern has been located Tor
many years. The new Fourteenth street
development, he stated. was for an ex-
pansion of the field Of business OF his
company.
In discussing the question as to the
effect the colossal Government build
ing program on the south side OF
Pennsylvania avenue will have on busl-
ness on the north side of the thorough
fare. Mr.. kaufman predicted that the
Federal project would bring thousands
of additional buyers to the very doors
of concerns located on the street.
Provides for Additions.
The Fourteenth street building IS to
be of two stories, but will be so con-

structed as to make possible the later
addition of three more stories. The
administrative headquarters Of the COM
pany will be retained at zoos Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and the new store will
be only for merchandising purposes.
Buying, financing. credit management
tailoring and other general work Will be
conducted at the headquarters store.
The concern was founded by David
j. Kaufman 80 years ago. The founder
retired from active interest in the firm,
however, seven years ago, when Joseph
d. Kaufman, the son, took over the
management. He now is president and
treasurer of the company. Mrs. D. j.
Kaufman is vice president and Leroy
King Is secretary.
Mr.. King will be placed in active
management of the new Fourteenth
street unit.

Damage From Corn Rots
! May Be Greatly Reduced

The Indiana experiment station and
the United States Department of Agri-
culture have shown that the condition
of the soil has close relation to the
damage from corn rots. If the soil is
,uninfected and its fertility is increased
by the addition of lime and phos-
phorus where needed, the extent of
the damage will be greatly reduced.
Crop rotation is generally beneficial
in checking the damage from disease.
Where corn rots are prevalent, clover
or iegume crop should be grown in
the rotation once every four years,
and corn should not follow either corn
or wheat. --... .--...-
The Illinois and Indiana experiment
stations have found that some strains
Of corn are damaged far less than 9th
ers by the corn rots. Beginning with
a strain which has possibilities for i'm
provement, the continuous selection Of
seed from healthy plants may be ex-
pected eventually to produce strains
strongly resistant to these diseases.
