HOOVER TAKES

Open the J'Vrciyii .Markets
to drain, of United Stales
Is Aim in Order to Stim
ulate Trade and Prices
WASHINGTON, Ag. 13. Strong
hope for better prices in the agricul
tural markets is justified by reduc
tions in the railroad rates on grain
for export, already in eTtcct arm pro
posed, according to a statement issued
at the White House Friday night.
Recent, reductions in the export
rates on grains in Chicago and New
York, the statement said, will be fol
lowed by sweeping revisions of grain
rates generally including those from
Mississippi river points and on the
lines to the gulf, in order that the
entire agricultural interest may share
fully in the benefits.
"In general' the. statement con
tinued, "advances in freight costs are
passed on to the consumer by adding
them to the selling price. But. ir
grains, whose domest:e pri'-e is d'.mi
nated by the foreign price of the tx
portod surplus, the producer suff rs
when rates go up and benefits when'
they go down, lherefore, though the
exports represent a minor share of the
total grain production, the lowering
of export rates affects the entire crop.
These reductions of rates, together
with the arrangements for financial
assistance Jto export trade and the as
surance that Europe is going to need
extraordinary quantities of American
foodstuffs, constitute altogether a jut-;
titication for strong hope that thu
tendency in the agricultural market)
will for some tune be decidedly to
ward better prices.''
Hoover Secures Reduction.
"Reductions of transportation rates
on grain for export was described
"one of the most important measures'
the administration has initiated foi 1
the relief of agriculture and of gen
oral industrial conditions. The re
ductions, it was explained, were it
sisted upon by Secretary Hoover as
concession to the agricultural into
rsts, when, on behalf of Preside
Harding, he negotiated with the car
riers the basis for settlement of thm
claims against the Kovprnniejilf-grro
ing out of feucral control

At the Union Experiment Station
they wore especially interested in so
curing data collected by the station
over a number of years on growing
steers on tho range, feeding them dur
ing the winter nnd fattening for mar
kets and information as to tho value
of different feeds and methods of pro
duction including foothill range, sum-:
mer range in the forest, fall pasture
in the fields and winter feeding in
many parts of the Northwest and else
where. The National Forest ranges are im
portant factors in the production of
livestock and best atiniinistration ne
cessitates a thorough understanding
of the production problems of the for
ost; in tho fields, and feeding yards
as well.
Mr. Rachford has recently spent
several months on ranges of the
Southwest ana" in California. Ho re
ports most trying conditions for stock
men on the great ranges of the South
west duo to a lack of adequate fin
ancing and high shipping costs as
compared with the present low mar
ket price for cattle. Livestock to
consume surplus rnnge and surplus
hay of the Northwest are facing star
vation because shipments could not
be financed.

"I never felt better In my life; I
weigh Hlo pounds; saw Germany and
Kuropo in their present condition, and
I am the happiest gink that bver
whistled up a tune to he able to re
turn to, the ai ma of old Undo Sum."
This was the opening statement of
Herman Roesch, who left this coun
try, a year and a half ago to make a
trip to his old home in Germany and
view Kuropo after the big war had
left its marks.
Merman spent a very pleasnnt time
with relatives. He says Germany is
not in such bad shnne. Of course
their commerce is shot to pieces and
! they arc organizing all branches of in-
dustry and government alonjr lines
that are new to people who have for
generations bowed their heads to n
potentate, but he thinks the old coun
try is in fairly good shape.
Other nations that he visited show
more disorganization, he says, and in
some parts of Kuropc conditions urn
anything but good.
Vnr some reason Herman failed to
bring back a wife as had boon report
ed he would, but he returns to Ii
lira rule ready to put on his apron
and grab tho frying pan to serve tho
hungry people who used to be hin
customers.
