L j LOWER FREIGHT RATES AS GOOD! BUSINESS -y’
- There -cau be no doubt that freight rates are out of
proportion to commodity values a condition which' has a
depressing effect upon business and hits the farmer espe-
cially hard Secretary of Agriculture-Wallace' says tlmt
either these rates must be reduced to about pre-war levels
or prices of agricultural products must be increased to
equal the rates the' alternative being a serious economic
condition in this country
The National Industrial Traffic League an organiza-
tion of large business concerns is on record with a some-
what similar demand as follows:
V!' i “A'study of readjustment processes indicates that the
'price' -of practically every commodity-lias been heavily re-
duced Freight rates which ar§ such a large factor in our
industrial fabric have not been readjusted but remain at
the highest level in history Manifestly there cau be no
return to normal business conditions until the price of
transportation bears a proper relation to community
values” ' - ' " ' ‘ '
It is quite likely that the railroads would find it to
their advantage to reduce freight rates They recently re-
duced rates to tourists for summer travel and this was
done with the expectation of a larger volume of business
Terjiaps this lower scale for passenger traffic will serve
to convince the roads that it is worth their while volun-
tarily to try the experiment of a marked reduction of
freight rates
’ : ' Some rail executives have asserted that in existing
V 'circumstances reductions would not’ increase traffic be-
cause of the world trade situation and the comparative lack
of foreign demand for American commodities This how-
ever is by no means the general view There is the do-
mestic market to be considered and df farmers wage work-
ers and other- consumers continue to refrain from making
necessary purchases as trade papers allege they do high
transportation costs very likely constitute an important
element in the situation ' 1 ' ”

Y Ever hear of Norman Haroldsou? ' ! 1
'jV:- probably not and yet he is a champion In his partic-
ular field of activity there is none to equal him He is
f supreme in his domain' which by the way has nothing to
1 do with the squared ring No “sporting extra” ever chrou-
- icled his prowess ’ Yet the achievement of this new and al-
most nnknowh champion is of more importance to the world
) is fraught with more benefit to mankind— and especially to
us of the middle west — than alL the prize fights w restling
i matches boat races hammer throwing and other athletic
contests ever held for this young man Xorinan Haroldsou
F in an open contest was proclaimed champion corn grower
A WORTH WHILE CHAMPION
a
by the State of Iowa and was awarded a gold medal-- for
growing on his father's farm the best acre of corn
- If every corn field in America had averaged as large
a yield as that' acre of Haroldson's the corn crop of the
country would have been three times as large as it was
Haroldsou has discovered a way to increase greatly the
yield of any average corn field'- It '-Is very simple1 1 Any
farmer can do it His formula runs somewhat thus: 1
“Test the seed from a field by the familiar germination
process- Plant the seed from the best ten ears in -ten dis-
tinctive rows - Select the ton best ears from the best of ten
rows and repeat the process The seed thus produced
with proper1 cultivation ami fertilization' will vastly in-
crease the yield ou any farm”
Ordinarily a man is -declared ftehumpiou” because he
'lias dbne more than any other man can do But anyone can
do what Haroldson has done and if the siigd was right when
he said that whoever made two ears of com or two blades of
grass grow where only one grew before did more essential
toervicerto his country -than the whole race of politiciaus put
together then Norman Haroldsou Is one of the greatest
beuefactors of this coiin'trv ’’ ' ‘
