If all the freight cars and motive
power units ordered in 1936 by the
Southern Pacific and the _ Pacific
Fruit Express, in which it owns a
one-half interest, were placed end to
end, they would make a train 109°
miles long.
The train would consist of 12,525
new freight cars of various types
and 46 new locomotives with a combined pull of 253,000 horsepower,
according to J. H. Dyer, vice president in charge of operations for the
railroad.
Traveling at the rate of 35 miles
an hour, it would require more than
three hours for such a train to pass
a given point, Dyer stated.

NEVADA
FOR an a
IS FORECAST!
(By RALPH =H. ‘TAYLOR) .
SACRAMENTO. Dec! 28.—-Broadened markets, due to’ a lessening of
financial stringency in the cities and
the mounting whir of new business
and industry, give promise that the
mareh toward farm recovery wiil
continue in California during 1937
-—steadily and surely, but perhaps
not as rapidly as the more superlative New Year’s forecasts may indieate.
“ Although any farm prophesy is
necessarily subject to all the whims
of nature and fluctuating markets,
plus the hazards of industrial wars
at home’ and wars between nations
abroad, the New Year looks definitely better than the old for most
commodities.
In all. probability, however, thé
price of. commodities and sérvices
used in agricultural production will
average a little higher during 1937,
according to predictions of the United States. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, and the farmer must exe
sect higher operating costs. to serve
as a partial offset to higher income.
Wage scales, for example, are expected to rise with a continuance of
demand for
workers in non-agricultural activities.
ers for seed already have advanced
sharply. Feed prices may be expected to soar somewhat, with farm machinery, fertilizer and building supplies also slated for price increases.
The farm outlook for major crops
and commodities, as gauged by state
and federal experts, shapes up as
follows: f
DAIRY PRODUCTS — Increased
consumer demand and some rise in
prices; the prospect for ‘the.’ next
several years is for further increases
in the consumption of fluid milk,
cream .and ice cream; there shoula
be a rise in butter prices in relation
to prices of other commodities.
COTTON—Indications of a larger
eotton crop in 1937. With prospects
. of a further reduction in world carry-over of American . cotton,. the
1937 United States crop could be increased somewhat witout damage to
price structure. If the 1937 crop increase, however, should substantially
exceed the prospective reduction in
carry-over, it would tend to. reduce
prices unless demand on the home
market increased sharply.
FRUITS—Prospect of rising volume of production and -increasing
sales, Possih’e slight decline in the
total apple and pez. vroduction -will
bé offset by larger production of citrus fruits, grapes and cherries. The
citrus industry may expect declizsus
prices as the crop increases. Apple
and peach growers might expect
some improvement in price. Consumer demand for all fruits is such that
}large crops tend to bring about the
‘same gross income as small crops.
TRUCK CROPS
tion expected than the record high
volume of 1936. It is expected that
further improvement in consumer
‘. buying power will about offset the
effects of increased supplies and
maintain prices at about 1936 levels.
CATTLE—General upward trend
in. cattle production predicted for
next few years. Because of reduced
hog supplies in prospect for next
two years, the cattle industry will
be in a rather favorable position.
Further improvement in demand for
beef and veal, which has been increasing since 1933, is expected. A
good demand for replacement stock
of all kinds -is. in ‘prospect. next
spring if crop and pasture conditions are fairly normal, forecasting
high prices for cows and heifers.
POULTRY —Smaller marketings
of poultry and turkeys predicted. for
1937, following heavy production
and sales this year. Bgg marketings
are expected to increase, however. —
WOOL—Stocks of wool both in
this country and in foreign countries .
will probably be below average at
beginning of the domestic woolmarketing year in April. A moder}ate decline in demand by domestic
mills is possible, but may be avoid-"
ed if. urban business continues its
ratio of improvement.
WHEAT—Large surplus of wheat
and lower prices forecast for 1937
if near-normal yields are produced.
Crop considerably in excess of do-}
mestic needs is expected with prices
declining toward an export basis.
The acreage seeded to wheat for the
1936 crop was the second largest on
record.

FUTUREFOR PWA
(By HAROLD ICKES).
Secretary of the Interior and PWA
a Administrator
I am thoroughly eonvinced that
the soundest possible public policy
at a time of economic depression is
the prompt undertaking of a .farfung program of substantial public
work.
I am firmly convinced that if we
had had a program of public works
ready to embark wpon when this administration came into power in
Mareh of:.1933, and if Congress had
promptly ap»ropriated, not three
billions of dollars but a much greater sum with which to undertake
that program, we would have experienced recovery much earlier and in
greater volume than we have had it.
I believe that ithe Public Works
Administration should be made a
permanent agency of government. As
you may perhaps know, the Federal
Emergency Administration of Public Works will expire by limitation
of law on June 30 next. On that .
date many projects will be uncompleted. Necessarily a law should. be
passed at least giving PWA’™ time
within which to complete the task
that it has already undertaken.
But for my part, I am hoping for
more than this. Even if the necessity for a continuation of building on
the present scale no longer: exists,
we must think of the future. There
is no assurance, based wpon the past
that we will not find ourselves in
another depression in the years to
come. We hope that this will net be
the case, but probably there exists
in the hearts of all of us a lurking
fear that, after all. this hope is just
a hope.
Tf there should be another depression we must not be unprepared as
we were’ when the last one struck
us. As an irreducible minimum we
should maintain a public works
general staff. We should have a re
servoir of well considered, carefully planned projects, work on which
could be undertaken’ as soon as the
necessity arose and money was
made available for them.
Now, as to the immediate. future
of public works, and here also I am
expressing only my personal views:
I believe that it will be necessary
to round out and complete our program by making allocations for limited additional projects. We are
working with that end in view. However. I believe that PWA should immediately set about to retrench all
along: the line. I am not in favor of
approving projects for states or the
CoMmmMUNtiEs LO Whieh a-large measure of prosperity has already returned. 2
Moreover, I do. not believe that
our grants ought uniformly to be 45
per cent o¢ any other fixed percentage of the cost of.2. project. We
ought toiinquire painstaxingly int»
the financial ability of the
community and if we find that local
resources are such that the project
applied for can be built with a grant
of less than 45 per cent—then we
ought to give only such a grant as
is needed.
There is another public function
which PWA might properly perform.
Take the case of a municipality
where the \banks are insisting upon
an unreasonably high interest rate
as a condition precedent to floating
a bond issue for a school or a sewage system or some other needed improvement. In such an instance PWA
might very well offer to -take the
bonds of that municipality at a.reasonable rate and thus prevent it
from being bludgeoned into paying
an exhorbitant rate of interest.
It will ‘be realized at once that
such policies as I have suggested
would mean that wide discrtionary
powers should be lodged in the administrator of public works,
