LOVlTT'S VIEWS ' ^Unification of Rogulation la Essential." i A Complete, Harmonious, Consistent 1 *iicl Related SyaLom Noedcd?Foderal Incorporation of Railroads by General Law Favored. i Washington, March 20.?Responsible ' lty for the railway development ??f the ' ; country, for providing necessary Truns- j porta Lion facilities to cure for the grow- j lug business and population of the ! country, now rests largely with con- j gross and not entirely with the ruil- j . rouu managers. This was the state- | | went of Judge Robert S. Ixivett, chair- j J niau of the executive committee of the i [ Union racitic system, to the Newlands j Joint congressional committee when j * that body resumed its inquiry into L tiie subject of railroad regulation this week. In making tids statement of the changed conditions of the railroad situation Judge Lovelt undoubtedly hud in mind the decision of the supreme court on the Adamson law, handed down last week, which establishes lite ^ right of the federal government to tlx l railroad wages and to prevent strikes. This decision is regarded by railroad won and lawyers as marking an epoch ' in the development of transportation in the United States. "We have our share of responsibil it.v," said Judge Lovett, "but it rests primarily on congress. When the goveminent regulates the rates and tlie financial administration of the rail- j 1 roads, the borrowing of money and the issuance of securities It relieves the railroad otllcers of the responsibility of , providing and developing transportation systems, except within the limits of the revenue that can he realized from .such rates and under such restrictions. "Tor a count 17 such as ours, for a j people situated as we are, to blunder along with a series of unrelated, incoin . sistcnt, conflicting statutes enacted by , different states without relation to j each other, instead of providing a com- , plete and carefully studied and pre- i pared system of regulation for a busl- 1 ' ness that is so vital to the life of the nation. Is worse than folly." | [ He summed up the present problems 1 and difficulties of the railroads as fob lows: Fl^at.-^The multiplicity of regtilatlous by the several states with respect to the issue of securities, involving deb lays and conflicting stale policies gem . 1 -orally dangerous and possibly disastrous. ^ Second.?The state regulation of 1 rates in such a manner as to unduly 1 reduce revenues, to discriminate in fa vor of localities and shippers within its own Itorders as against localities 4ii:d shippers in other states and to disturb and disarrange the structure of interstate rates. , Third.?The Inability of the Interstate Commerce Commission, whoever the commissioners may be. to perform the vast duties devolving upon it under existing laws, resulting in delay? which should never occur in commercial matters?and compelling the commissioners to accept the conclusions of their employees as final in deciding matters of great importance to the commercial and railroad interests of the country. Fourth.?The practical legality that bus been accorded conspiracies to tie up and suspend the operation of the railroads of the country by strikes and violence and tbe absence of any law to compel the settlement of such disputes by arbitration or other judicial j means, as all other Issues between clti- j sens in civilized stutes are to be settled. Fifth.?The phenomenal increase In the taxation of railroads in recent! 1 years. Sixth-?-The cumulative effect of , these conditions upon the investing 1 public, to which railroad companies! must look for the oflriite 1 nuun Mr ft* ? ?-< ? ?.? ?vv^,?oui jr tV i continue development. "We believe that the unification of regulation Is essential," said Judge Lovett, "and that with the rapid in-1 crease of state commissions in recent: years congress will in time be com-1 polled to exercise its power in the premises. To unify regulation there should be a complete, harmonious, consistent and related system. We believe the best, if not the only practical plan, is the federal Incorporation of j railroads by general law. which will make Incorporation thereunder com-, pulsory. thus imposing on all railroad companies throughout the United States the same corporate powers and re frictions wllh respect to their flnun-! c'.al operations and the same duties and obligations to the public and the j government, so that every investor will] know precisely what every railroad corporation may and may not lawfully do." Judge Lovett contended that the solution of these problems and difhcul'tics rested with congress.

OF ALL PLANT DISEASES Clemson College, S. C.?Where proper precautions are taken it is much easier to prevent au infectious dis- J ease than it is to fine it. This is especially true of plant diseases. | Plant tissues once infected with a parasitic organism cannot be cured. ; The diseased part might be removed and a part of the plant saved, but the tissues already affected cannot, as a rule, be cured. The only practical method, then, of controlling plant dis- < eases is by prevention. With plant diseases as .well as with infectious dis- j eases of man and the lower animals. , sanitary measures are our pricipal means of prevention. If a certain disease is to be check- i ed, all sources of infection should be removed and it is always the old dis- j eased parts that serve as the main source of infection. It is from these } that the disease spreads to healthy . plants. The first time that tomato i wilt, for instance, occurs in any place,' the plants attacked should be removed and destroyed. The same applies to the diseases of cabbage, turnips, lettuce and other garden crops. "Pull and burn" all diseased plants should be the motto wherever any plant disease occurs for the first time. This is the simplest and surest method of getting rid of all sources of infection. This also applies to many diseases which have become established. It is even possible to entirely get rid ot a disease where it has been present for some time by burning all of the diseased parts. With certain soil diseases like tomato w'.it. cotton wilt, water-melon wilt, etc., it is not only Important that the diseased r>lan!*-? he destroyed, bur HggvTHE I Hghw * STELLA VITAE sc ^ it, the /unctions poculi ?c 1 ous suppression, and by weak, nervous, rt "TPmhBc^ ferers snd is guarsn WrtaPBT first bottle if you art thachek mm \D TOHWAT s n ERS OF T!1E RUSSIAN 01 WXu aBBV . ,>M A t*V.?M^ . 4* ?

The picture shows th reet her. every precaution must be taken to; prevent the soil which these plants! have grown in from being transferred to other ground which is free from the disease. Anything which carries soil from around the diseased plants will carry the disease. Where & small area Is affected with a disease, then, under no conditions should this be plowed , at the same time as the uninfected soil adjoining. All implements used in cultivating patches where the disease occurs should be thoroughly cleaned before they are used In any otner place. Drainage water would also serve to spread the disease from such places if the water is allowed to drain from the diseased portions; on to lands where the disease does not occur. Where it is practical to j do so, many of the fruit diseases can be controlled in a large measure by collecting and burning all of the diseased fruit. If it were possible to collect and burn all of the rotten J plums and peaches in a community at one time, brown rot would be in a large measure prevented. With the tree diseases, it is very important that all diseased portions should be pruned off and burned. Wherever a < dead limb is found in a tree, it should be cut out and burned. Any dead tissue is sure to be a source of infection. This is especially true of such diseases as fire blight of apple and pear.

I ttVBT COTTONSEED MEAL DOES NOT INJURE When Fed to Dairy Cattle as Has Been Erroneously Claimed I feeTd value depends upon amount of HULL CJows Heavily Fed Produce Hard Tallowy Butter It is Said. The opinion prevalent in some secions thut even the moderate feeding >1' cottonseed meal to dairy cows injures them and is dctrimenta&l t<r :he quality of the butter is not just :itied, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agri:ulture. Cottonseed meal, it is said, may be pect. It contains the highest quantity of protein of all the cow feed orfed for yeai s to dairy cows in prop31 ly balanced rations with no ill eflinariJy found upon the market. For diat reason it is especially valuable is a means of balancing rations defiPicient in protein, when corn or com pioduets or other farm-grown feeds form a large proportion of the cow's feed.

A feed sometimes sold on the markets of the South is called "cotton seed-meal feed," which is only a finely ground mixture of cottonseed lulls and cottonseed meal, and its feeding value is usually very much ower than that of pure cottonseed neal.

It probably often contains as low as from 15 to 20 per cent crude protein and has not more than half the fowling value of choice moal. Experiments in the feeding of cottonseed meal to dairy cows have occn [?mwlm? + rwl o* ? ? ** ? uic (tgiauauiUI COll0gt?S of practically all the Southern Stales. They are unanimous in reporting that when fed in moderate quantities and in connection with other concentrates ordinarily available cn the market, cottonseed meal is the cheapest source of protein to be had. At the South Carolina station, 5 or 0 pounds of cottonseed meal daily in connection with 25 to 30 pounds of corn silage were fed to dairy cows through a long period. The cow*, thrived and no ill effects from the feed were observed. In fact, they kept in remarkal/y good condition md were always ready for their feed. The miik of cows heavily fed on cottonseed meal yields a hard, tallowy butter, light in color and poor in flavor. If, howeverer, a moderate Allowance is fed in a properly balanced ration, the quality is not impaired and may even be improved, if ,hc other feeds tend to produce a soft butter. Since cottonseed meal is a highly litrogenous heavy feed, it should orlinarily be mixed with feeds which \re bulky and lower in crude protein. \ good mixture is equal parts of cotonseed meal and corn-and-cob meal, >i* cottonseed meal and wheat bran, t is not advisable to feed more than our or five pounds daily under any onditions, although much more has >een fed without any perceptible bad effect on the animals. On account >f its costive effect it is always best o feed it in connection with an ample luantity of succulent roughage, such is silage, roots, or green feeds. o Tells How It Is. Ed.
