If a business worth $10,00 earned $500 net income in' a Jvsar (or $41 a month), would it be considered an unreason able profit and proof that its prices were; too high? The railroads are in that situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December SI, 191tt, the interstate Com merce; Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation of $18,900,000,000. ..With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 192:1 conservatively estimated as $1,100,000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valuation a net amount of $2,371,583,000, making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000. On this amount the Railways in 1023 earned nn aggregate net operating in come of approximately $907,010,000, or 4.09 per cent. The Government guarantee of earnings expired August PI, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued as repeatedly but erroneously claimed the Government would owe the rail roads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could not earn the fair return of 5 per cent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission, under the Transforation Act, has found they ars entitled. If the roads cannot, earn 5 per cent in a big year, what will they do in a small year? .... The Transportation Act provide that if a road in any year earns morie than 6 per cent it shall pay one-half of the excess to the Government. The Act is, therefore a limitation rather than a guarantee. Give Transportion Act Fair Trial The Transportation Act should be given a fair test and its merits judged by the results of a normal period of reason able length. The yean 1923 was the first since the' wa.' under conditions approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demands just now is not more law but more confidence. The railroads have emerged from the, welter of tb,e war, restored their morale, made enormous investments of new money, and in 1923 handled a peak busi ness with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act is the only really constructive rail road legislation of a generation. Previous acts were almost solely repressive. In framing the Act the public interest was paramount. The Act directs the Interstate Commerce Com mission toi "give due consideration to the transportation needs of the1 country and the necessity, of enlarging railway facilities ui order ta provide the people of the United States with ade quate transportation." Give the Act a chance. Don't amend it. If the roads are let alone they should maTce a3 good a record for efficiency this year as last, r t , . , Constructive suggestions aro always welcome.

Patterson HEPPNER, OREGON AX EXPERIMENT IN LIGHT LAM) FARMING Nick Thompson, who farms in the Ella district north of lone, is trying an experiment in wheat growing on the light land of his section that R. W. Morse, county agfnt, believes may prove of considerable value to the farmers of that part of the coun ty. Last fall Mr. Thompson planted 80 acres of winter wheat in furrows 11 Inches apart and about 5 inches deep. Advantages claimed for the new method are that when planted the grain is put down in moist ground, that it is protected from the cold winds of winter, that tiie furrows hold the snow, thus affording pro tection to the plants and that the danger of "land blows" is lessened.
