Hay Freight Costs Stir Midwest Producers and Farmers
The hay dealers of the middle west protest to the Interstate Commerce Commission against high freight rates seen as ruinous for an important trade and farmers. It costs $18.50 a ton to ship hay from Kansas City to New York by rail, while water rates via the Panama Canal are around $12.75 a ton. Historic views suggest extortionate rail rates may have caused many troubles of the era. In lighter note, a Philadelphia golf lesson ends with the instructor hit by a mashed ball mishap, described as luck in a humorous aside.
