DR.. R.afoeks opening address at the

iured by the cold snap in November. He
said foggy weather had brought most of
them around in good shape, and that the
loss TO the state was comparatively small.
The west-bound train being several
hours late delayed the morning session. so
that the presidents address on Trans

scored railroad and commission men in a
rather humorous manner, his utterances
nevertheless being full of meaning. He ad-
vocated the adoption OF association boxes

He also advised joint inspection OF fruit

This would protect the grower as we'll as
the railroad. He said the average trans
portation per car charged last season was
$3.50, while the average returns for the
state were but 1913. proving a net loss TO
the producer.
He was answered by General Freight
Agent Moore and NJ G.. Hall. head of the
express department. Both alleged the
railroad was willing 10 meet all fair de-
the fact that reductions are below those in
California. Both promised 10 give all pos
sible assurances to the committee on
