EASTERN RAIL HEADS DISCUSS RATES TODAY (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Faced with the problem of obtaining additional revenue for the New England railroader the alternative, a majority of them declared of seeing those roads go into bankruptcy, presidents of 11 of the largest railway lines in the east conferred here today in an effort to settle upon some method for the division of freight rates interchanged with trunk lines that would give the New England roads the revenue they require. The conference begun yesterday, resulted from a request by Chairman Clark of the Interstate Commerce Commission, that the roads involved settle the controversy among themselves. The executives were said to represent not only themselves but all the railroads holding membership in the association of railway executives, as it was held that difficulties involving the New England roads would affect practically every road in the country. A request from the New England reads that they be given a greater share of freight charges on freight handled jointly by their companies and the trunk lines had been refused by the latter and Chairman Clark's purpose in suggesting the conference was to affect a compromise.

COLOMBIAN BERRY TO BE INTRODUCED TO AMERICAN FARMS (Bv Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. Prediction that the Colombian Berry, discovered in a hitherto unexplored forest region of the South American Republic for wnicn it was nameo. wouia revolution-1 :ze the American berry industry in the same way that he naval orange, also of South American origin, marked an epoch in the history of citrus growing, are made by officials of the Department of Agriculture. Extensive experiments with the giant blackberry, described by explorers of the Agriculture Department as four times the size of the American variety, have be?n begun by ;l.e division of foreign f-eed and plant introduction, which plans to distribute the pew discovery to farmers after determining in what climates it will grow best. Is Giant Berry. In a report to otficials here, Wilson Popence, an agricultural explorer who was sent to Colombia to investigate the discovery of the new berry by Dr. Frank M. Chapman of the American Museum of Natural History, declared that, only the extreme isolation of the region where the giant grows in profusion could account for the fact that it had not long since been given to the horticult.-iral world. Plants and f-eeds thus far introduced to this country were brought by Mr. Popence from El Penon, between Sibate and Fusagasuga, in the department of Cundinamarca, where the plant is said to be found in greatest abundance. As yet expfrimcntors are uncertain whether the berry can be transplanted to this country without loss of some of its native characteristics, because of the peculiar climate of the region where it was found. Grows in Mountains. While the plant crows in Colombia at an elevation of 10,000 or more feet, it is said to be improbable that it could survive at similar elevations here or in the mountainous regions of j lower South America. The climate of the Colombian mountains is tempered by their nearness to thf1 Equator. Attomnia in cultivate? the new berrv in" North America are expected to be most successful in the South and est states and also along the Pacific coast.

Many of these had the habit of setting ; their sales dates according to his advice, or to suit his convenience and also of booking his months in advance ut cui i utiAiuun, no a. lai in rairn . ing. His presence at a sale insured that many of his friends, who mfgbt i tee8 would fce present as bidders. This I was a large factor in his success and I popularity among sales holders.

It. will be hard to convince, grain growers that there was any reason except "gre?d" for advancing Ihe prices of any grain product whatfoever, in the face of falling markets for all cereals. As to rooled oats and most of our breakfast cereals, their manufacture i has become concentrated.
