FARM PRODUCTS ARE CITED Business Depression and Lack of Demand the Real Trouble. Washington, D. C.?In testifying before tlie Sennto Committee on Intorstnte Commerce, which Is conducting iu> Inquiry Into the railroad situation, Julius Kruttsehnltt, chairman of the hoard of the Southern Pacific company, went Into went detail as to the effect of freight rates on produce shipments, foreign and domestic. The main points he made In this part of hiti testimony were: First?That business depression Is not th? result of high freight rates. Second?That the real cause of stagnation In produce shipments la lack of market or profiteering. lie said In part: ) 1 A widespread propaganda Is heln# 'carried on to arouse public sentiment oga-lpst existing freight rates, whereas the fact Is that even since the rates have been advanced the cost of transporting commodities Is far less than the toll taken by the commission merchant and the retailer for buying and selling them. Public Misled as to Situation "People are misled and conclude that high rates have stopped the movement of a large amount of freight and that the railways would make more money if they would reduce the rates and thereby revive the traffic. There Is the strongest reason to believe that the very great reduction in traffic lias been due almost entirely to general business conditions that are world-wide In their effect, and that would have come If there had been no advance In freight rates. Prices Of commodities reached their maximum In the first half of the year 1020 and thereafter fell with great rapidity In France, the United tftntes and the United Kingdom. The fall in the United States begnn In May, nud was rapidly on Its way downgrade in September, when the advanced rates took effect. Nevertheless trnlllc did not drop for at least four months. Slump Not Caused by Higher Rates It was a general deflation and fall DK3E3&BSaE3SI?j0^r?!Si gfl DO I Indigestion | O Many persons, otherwise B D vigorous and healthy, are Q D bothered occasionally with Q indigestion.

Tho arger sizo is tho moro economical. fn prices from tho heights to which they had boon driven by war conditions that lias caused a stagnation of business throughout the world. That It is not caused by the cost of transportation Is convincingly shown by the fact that stoppage of buying has caused an oversupply of ships, hence ocean tonnage rates have been recently at the lowest points In their hlatftw '**' - M,^vv?J Notwithstanding theso low rates, ocean tmfllc shows as great stagnation as rail truffle, and millions of tons of shipping here and abroad are rust ing away In Idleness. Many commodities would not move oven If the freight charges on them were abolished entirely, because producers can find no market. That the decline in business is not due to prohibitive freight rates Is shown by the following examples: In January of this year the total I tonnage of lines went of El Paso and Ogden operated by the Southern Pacific Company fell off 41 per cent. The combined Intrastate freight tonnage 1n Arizona and Nevada declined 50 per cent although no Increase In the Intrastate freight rates in those States has been as yet authorized or made.effective. This docrease embraced grain, hay and livestock, as well AS ores and other commodities. COTTON UNSHIP 'ED FOR LACK OF MARKETS Of a Texas cotton crop of over four million bales, 10 per cent remains unmarketed. The average cost of rail and water shipment from producing point to Liverpool has been reduced about $1,291/2 per- 100 pounds, in tho face of which about one-half million bales of cotton 1< ss than normal have been exported to Liverpool. Obviously the freight rate is not responsible for the restricted movement. Durlnp Sept. mber, October, and November, 1 i?20, 45 per cent less rice, 50 per cent less canned salmon and 77 per cent less dried fruit were exported than during the name months of the previous year, although the reduction In ocean rates was substantially more than the Increase In Intand rail rates, so that the -material decline in the exports of these commodities was tn the t'a^e of a less aggregate cost of transportation. I The Case of tho Fruit Growers The troubles of tho California lemon grower have attmeted much attention. He claims he Is unahle to ship his product because of the Increased freight rntes. A removal of all the recent Increase of the rate on lemons would not help him. He has a rate by sea through the 1'anama Canal of less than half?48 per cent?of the rail rate, yet his lemons are not marketed. The average price of a cantaloupe laid down In New York In the season of 1020 was not quite 11 cents. As they were retailed at about 2o cenrr.. there Is a further profit to somebody of 14 cents per cantaloupe. The managers of the propaganda fo: n general reduction of freight rates have lost sight of the fact that in October, 11)20, 1,10r?,U21 carloads of coal were moved, being the maximum moved In any month In the preceding two years, although It was handled at the advanced freight rates, and we have | heard nothing as to coal being produced at a loss or of the coal mine owners going out of business because of existing freight rates. The percentage of freight charges to vrli'f: In the early part of 1021 19 almost exactly the tfame ao It was In 1014. o POULTRY AND DAIRY PROFITS One of Very Best Ways Farmer Can Dispose of Surplus Milk Is to Feed It to Fowls. The dairyman (or the farmer wlio runs a small dairy In connection with his farm) Is In an enviable position to make the biggest proportionate profits from a flock of poultry. One reason for tills Is that the best foods as milk producers are also excellent egg producers. For Instance, clover, alfalfa, middlings, rye, etc., are all palatable and beneficial to cows and chicks alike?and so Is an occasional mess of finely chopped silage. Furthermore, the cows furnish one of the best of foods for laying hens, for milk is a valuable egg food In any form. One of the very best ways any farmer can dispose of surplus milk with profit Is to feed It to the hens, or to growing young stock. It furnishes Just the materials needed for improving growth of eggs?and does It In a palatable, easily digested form ?hence it is an exceedingly valuable product as an adjunct to the grain ration, which often lacks essential tlomanti Mamma Miflnt Have Done Better.
