increase# in 1924 reduced the net income of Western rail-
roads $102,000,000.
M-K-T revenues were reduced $1,543,473 in 1024 through
lower rate levels. Despite decreased rates and higher wages,
the management, through increased operating efficiency, has
steadily raised the standard of Katy service. Over the last
four-month period, 98.2 per cent of all Katy passenger trams
have made scheduled time. In freight service, for the same
period, 96.9 per cent of all scheduled merchandise package
cars arrived at destination on time.
■j'ne Katy—the pioneer ime **• ‘t*> distinctive territory, aid 1 ly

from both Kansas City and St. Louis solicits your support and earn
eat co-operation in its ever-vigilant eilurts to afford t’< Great South-
west a measure of service commensurate with its industrial, civic and
commercial growth.
Rales on Agricultural Products Are Relatively Low
The Katy receives an average of less than seven mills for hauling
a ton of wheat one mile. On agricultural and animal products, in
1924. the freight charges averaged 6.41 per cent of their value; on
mineral products, 44.4 per cent ; on forest products, 23.5 per cent.
Railroad rate# reached their peak in 1920. They have
since declined steadily. Rate reduction! in the three-year
period since 1921 are saving shippers $1,547,264 a day.
Average railroad revenue for hauling a ton of freight one
mile in 1924 was 12% per cent less than in 1921, and 5% per
cent lees than in 1922. As a result of rate reductions and
increased wages, the railroads did not earn, in 1924, the
•‘fair return" on their tentative valuation to which they are
entitled under the law. Western railroads earned only 4.54
per cent on their valuation. Rate re-adjustments and wage

The best thing about these new bal-

joyed the day picnicing on the creek.

One good advantage of cross word

The earlier she lays the quicker and I ‘
longer she pays, says the Blue Valley!
Creamery Institute in urging Oklaho-1
ma poultry raisers to push pullets to I
I early maturity. Experiments show!
that the more rapidly a pullet comes
into egg production the greater the
Inumber of eggs she will lay the first
year.
The widespread belief that early lay-
ing stunts the body growth of the pull-
et is not borne out by testa, except in
the case of a few individuals, accord-
ing to the Institute Data compiled
recei tly shows that White Leghorn
pullets which matured in less than six
months laid 168 eggs during their first
laying year, while pullets requiring
seven or eight months to mature only
laid 146 eggs. Pullets taking 10
months to mature were even slower in
egg production, the eggs laid totalling
|only 93.
Early maturity of pullets may be
' hastened by the feeding of mineral ele-
* ments including the little-known and
less-used iron, the Institute states. The
use of a mixture of one pound of sul-
phate of iron with one ounce of sulphur
ic acid in two gallons of water will gen-
erally result in unusual development
in the growing stock. These should be
mixed in an earthenware jar. thorough-
ly shaken and allowed to stand for a
- day or two. Before using it should be
| stirred and a half pint of the mixture
I used in three gallons of water used to
fill the drinking vessels.

R. E. Reed, manager of the Baxter ]
Grain Elevator here and his helpers i
have been having to work overtime
these days to enable them to care for
the small grain that is being delivered
now. Since threshing began they have
been loading out a car of oats each day
and a number of times two carioads.
Friday the elevator was full to over-
flowing with oats and wagons were
having to wait to unload, though every
I step was taken by them to relieve the
crowded situation. To gain some start
over the deliveries the loading was be-
ing done at night as well as day. Oats
show a good quality and weight, the
I lowest running 28 while they run as
I high as 34 pounds to the bushel meas-
ure. The dealer here continues to pay
I the top prices on grain paying 43c per
bushel for oats, while one private buy-
I er paid 44c per bushel- Very little
I wheat was being brought in and what
I was, was a poor grade. Our local
I buyers aim is to give the farmers the
I benefits of one of the best in prices
that market conditions will allow, and
II from the movement of grain this way

| suits.
Hugh E. Smith was home from Tul-
sa to spend the 4th with home folks
and friends.
Ellis Reed had the misfortune to get
h foot injured in one of the carriers at
the elevator one day last week, also to
injure his hand bad with a screwdriver
while at work on his Ford. It is hoped
nothing serious will terminate. Being
so near the 4th made us think of a boy

ing
Mr. and Mrs Chas. Duncan and
daughter Marie, also Chas. Whipple,
of Tulsa visited relatives here the 4th.
i A light shower of rain fell over this
I section of the country Saturday after
I noon that was real refreshing. Simi-
I lar conditions were in evidence all the
I way from here to Grove, but from
there on to Southwest City a great
amount of water fell. Through one
I section we noticed corn fields had re-
ceived lots of hail which had torn the
corn blades badly and much water was
;| everywhere there. In the vicinity of
I Dodge heavy rain and some hail fell as
II we drove along. All crops appeared
, | to be in need of moisture more on
Cowskin prairie than through this sec-
tion, as corn was further advanced. If
•we can receive just as good a ground
soaker here as fell there much of the
corn will be out of danger but unless
we get the moisture here soon, crops
will begin to damage to a great extent.
We also noticed while at Southwest
City that a heavy rain soon causes a
picnic crowd to migrate to shelter ex-
cept the bathers in the public swim-
ming pool who swam and dived merrily
without fear of getting wet.
Among those from this section who
were at Southwest City, Mo., the
Fourth, were: Isaac Cook and family,
