Third Section VOLUME XXXXII HOW RAILROADS HELP FARMERS Government Issues Report Showing Work of Education The part that the railroads of the United States are playing in the agricultural development of the country is discussed by John Hamilton, of the United States Department of Agriculture. "That many of the transportation companies are coming to appreciate agriculture as a source of income and are giving special attention to its development is shown by investigations recently made by the farmers' institute division of the Office of Experiment Stations of the Department of Agriculture," says Mr. Hamilton. "In conducting these investigations inquiries were sent to over 100 railroad corporations of the United States and Canada, requesting information as to what each company has done, if anything, in assisting agriculture. Replies were received from all who were addressed. These replies show that of the 103 companies sending in reports, 52 have been active to a greater or less extent in rendering assistance in an educational way to the agricultural interests of the districts which their lines traverse." The Santa Fe is taking a leading part in the development of agriculture along its thousands of miles of track done, if anything, in assisting agriculture. Replies were received from all who were addressed. These replies show that of the 103 companies sending in reports, 52 have been active to a greater or less extent in rendering assistance in an educational way to the agricultural interests of the districts which their lines traverse." The Santa Fe is taking a leading part in the development of agriculture along its thousands of miles of track in the United States. During the last year the railroads spent $56,429.42 for the handling of agriculture exhibit trains alone. The running of demonstration trains, either in conjunction with state institutions or independently, is one of the big boosts the railroads are giving agriculture. In his discussion Mr. Hamilton points out what the railroads will reap if they are able to double the crops of barley, buckwheat, corn, oats, rice, rye, and wheat alone. The increased freight rate would be $214,-531,466.20 each year on these commodities. Mr. Hamilton traces the connection of the two interests and says: "These two great interests, agriculture and transportation, are therefore independent. Injury to one is injury to both. For their highest development and mutual benefit co-operation is a necessity. The railroads need freight. The farmer needs transportation." Mr. Hamilton lists 93 different methods employed by railroads to help the farmer, which range from employing experts to furnish instruction with respect to selection of seed, planting, cultivation and preparation of crops for market, to actually assisting in the sale of the products. Most of the work in the interest of the farmers, however, is educational, various means of instruction being afforded, of which demonstration trains and demonstration farms are the leading methods. HIGHWAYMEN SENT TO PEN One Man Given Fifteen Years and the Other Five in San Quentin. Vicente Nunez was on Friday morning sentenced to fifteen years in San Quentin. Friday afternoon Deonicio Cerna, who was with Nunez in the robbing of Jese Cordiel at El Toro on Sept. 3, was given five years. Nunez is credited with being a bad hombre, and the evidence was HIGHWAYMEN SENT TO PEN One Man Given Fifteen Years and the Other Five in San Quentin Vicente Nunez was on Friday morning sentenced to fifteen years in San Quentin. Friday afternoon Deonicio Cerna, who was with Nunez in the robbing of Jese Cordiel at El Toro on Sept. 3, was given five years. Nunez is credited with being a bad hombre, and the evidence was that he was leader in the plan to rob and beat Cordiel. Nunez took part in the attempted jail-break Cerna, aged 24 years, took no part in the attempt. Nunez, Cerna and Francisco Garcia were taken north to San Quentin Saturday by Sheriff Ruddock and Oliver Schumacher. Before their departure Jailer Boynton took the pictures of three convicted men and also of Valentine Zuniga, Clyde Taylor and Lorenzo Martinez, all charged with felonies. Three convictions for felonies is the excellent record made in one week by District Attorney West. First came Francisco Garcia, charged with burglary. The jury was out eleven minutes and brought in a verdict of guilty. The second was Blicente Nunez. The jury was out five minutes. Yesterday came Deonicio Cerna. The jury beat the record of the day before by ten seconds. "You never go to banquets with your husband." "No. I'm afraid that they will ask him to make a speech." "And can't he make one?" "That's it exactly. He can't. But if he were asked I just know he'd get up and try." AHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY.
