AN OPEN LETTED)F PRESIDEiNT
MARKHAM ( · THE 1 C.
The following an open letter
from President OH. Markham or
the illinois Centri System to Win.
H. Jolnston, present of the Inter
national Associatii of Machinists:
I addressed a tter on December
20 to the emplois of the Illino:s
Central System dling attention to
the campaign ofmisrepresentatio;u
and abuse which.j being carried on
by spokesmen oicertain labor un
ions to discredit ie managements ot
the railroads in t$ eyes of the pui
lic. You have 'ritten to me an
open .etter regaling my letter to
our employes i4 which you make
statements that Nord a most tgar
ing example of ie kind of misrep
resentation of t¶ railways to whica
I called attention
You seize up& statistics of the
tentative valuatins placed by the
Interstate Comierce Commissionl
upon twenty-foli railroads, practi
:cally all of whid are small and un
important, and ?se them in a way
that.is adaptedentirely to mislead
railway employejand the public con
6erning the factlas to the valuation
of the railroadsmade by the Inter
state Commerci Commission. The
statistics to wlch you refer were
given by Glenn ,. Plumb, author of
the Plumb plan to a committee of
the Hoube of Representatives onl
December 14. 'ou say these figures
slow an averaý valuation per mile
of track for tI$se tw'enty-four rail
roads of $32, 7. Then, applying
this figure to-lhe 265,000 ndles of
line of all the '.ilways of the United
States, you a.rive at an estimated
value for all: he railroads of $8
610,000,000, which is $10,290,000,
000 less than the tentative valua
tion of $18,90!,000,000 fixed by the
interstate Coninerce Commission ii
1920 for rate-naking purposes.
The merest amateur in railway
matters can see at a glance that your
method of using your own figures is
e.ntirely erroneous. 'Since you use
the miles of track in arriving at
your estimated value per mile, of
these twenty-four railroads, of course
you should also have used miles of
track, ifistead of miles of line, in
making your estimate of the value
of all the railroads. The two things
are not the same. A railroad may
have two, or three, or four, or even
more tracks for each mile of line.
The railroads of the United States
have approximately 405,000 miles of
track and only 265 miles of line.

have to contend. He ladvised
recently that the farmers here

crops that should be planted.
FARM PlAN FOR 1922.
1. A one-acre vegetable garden
so as to provide ample supply of
vegetables the year round, and at the
sae time, make the soil richer by
growing cowpeas or velvet beans and
turn some under on at least half
the garden once a year.
2. A field crop plan to produce
abundant feed for all animals kept
on the farm, and, in addition to the
food supply from the garden, pro
vide for Irish and sweet potatoes,
cane syrup and peanuts to satisfy
the family throughout the year and
then have some of each to sell. The
syrup must 'be standardized and put
in marketable cans and sweet pots
toes cured in order to find a profit
able market for either. Corn, oats,
velvet and soy beans, and lespedeza
should be the chief feed crops, iin
addition to sweet potatoes and pea
nuts: . :. _ _-- :
3. Hogs enough to supply meat
and lard and dairy cows to furnish
milk and butter.
4. A small family orchard ar
ranged so as to give fruit as nearly
as possible all year. The appetites
of children cannot be well satisfied
without fruit.
5. Two or three acres in cotton
fertilized, .cultivated and boll-weevil
controlled so as to make at least one
bale to the acre.
6. Truck-crop plan arranged to
grow yearly 5 different kinds of crops
best suited to your community suf

Successful trucking requires tha:

It will be necessary to have a good

By Staff Correspondent
Madisonville, Jan. 5.-In conform
ity with the much-adhered-to old cus
tom of turning over a new leaf at
the beginning of each year, a banner
program has been drawn up, with
renewed activities, its initiative mod

real estate transfers, and was given
a brisk push forward when the an

That Ro~&i to the Beach.
The much-talked-of road to the
beach is beginning to assume the
shape of a reality-moving along
slowly but steadily, as all right of

Compatible with the progress thus
far 10 acres of beach on the west
side of the Tchefunct, Light Station
has been purchased from the Stanga
brothers, for parking grounds and
resort. This particular spot argues
favorably for the pier and the senti

yet, no definite decision has been
reached for its exact location.

Mr. Minckler, secretary of the As

that the Trade and Auction Day is.
progressing finely and will prooao.y
come off on the 28th instant. This
is a movement in which the merca

gram includes the shipment and.
marketing of a car load of syrup.
In the handling of this syrup Mr.
Minckler has the approval of tile
Covington Association of Commerce
and has gone quite- extensively into
a campaign of advertising, including
the drafting of labels and advertis
ing cuts. The draftings of these cuts
was done by the advertising depart.
ment of The Times-Picayune and
present a very attractive and- credit
able appearance.
This is the first time in which a
systematic campaign of advertising
has been undertaken. It is in a c
cordance with the generally accepted
method of introducing goods. Nota
ing can be done to-day without ad
vertising, and Mr. Minckler has se
cured some very good.advice from
the T.-P. people. ,Besides this caim
paign of advertising, there will he.
an effort to come in personal touch'
with many of the handlers of syrup
and some distribution, directly ..to
housewives that will place the syrup
on the table of the home.
It is thought that this campaign
will be' the' forerunnier of future op

new fields for Its distribution and
consumption.
