Millions of Onions.

Fourteen million bushels of onions
were raised in the United States last
year, and so great was the demand that
100000 bushels more were imported
from Spain. Egypt Bermuda and
the south sea islands. The value Of
Americas crop was $10,000000. and
the department of agriculture believes
that of 1909 should be worth twice as
much. 1t has just issued bulletin on
the subject as gentle reminder to
the average farmer and truck grower
that they are overlooking the onion
as If any one could do such n thing.
For many centuries this vegetable
thrivcd only in the valleyS and low.
lands. but improved agricultural meth
ods have made 1t possible to raise 1t
with profit on the hilltops. The Ber-
muda variety Is being grown with
tremendous success In all of the south

coast. Each succeeding year brings

ESTIMATING THE WHEAT.
Probabilities of the Outcome of a Worry
Interesting Season.


The wheat season starts with small.
er reserves even than i'm the famous
year 1897, when low supplies of old
wheat, followed by u 80 per cent short
age in the European crop and a
1O0,OOO,0O0 bushel increase in our own,
had some remarkable financial results.
This means Il sure and quick market
Tor the new crop. 1t is impossible as
yet to estimate the probable foreign
wheat harvest of 1909: latest advices
Indicate that while the crop in France,
England and Russia will be sufficient,
Germany and the Danube states have
Jared badly, SO that the total European
crop will hardly match the abundant
yield of 1905 and 1906 The obvious
meaning of such situation is that
Europe must have such of our wheat
surplus as the American market can
spare and must pay fair prices for it.
Had the winter wheat estimate of
Aug. II confirmed the 40O,00O,OOO
buShel prediction current a few weeks
before, instead of raising the calcula-
tion to 432,0OOOOO, and had the spring
wheat promise been in any way seri-
ouSlS llnpdlIeu luc country WOulU
scarcely have escaped a later repeti-
tion of the Chicago speculation Of last
May and our export trade would have
been greatly restricted. But 100000
extra bushels make a considerable diff
ference.
1t still remains to see what happens
to our spring wheat crop and to for
eign crops in the two naming
months. But rs matters stand. how
ever. there are several reasonable in
ferences:
First, the American farmer will sell
mn abundant wheat crop at highly
rcmuncrative prices; second, those
prices are not likely to go again to
the famine figure" which will impose
hardship on consumers; third, the
railways will have the average amount
of wheat to transport to market;
fourth, our export of wheat and flour,
which in the past twelve months was
cut down 50000.O00 bushels from the
year before and 3l,00O.00O from two
years ago, should be increased by
twenty-five to forty millions. thereby
helping our market for international
exchange and at the same time easing
the strain on Europc's wheat trade.

SWITCHING RATES
ARE GUT To A

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Saves Ell Paso
So a Car.

According to the findings Of the in
terstate commerce commission, just re-
ported here, a test case has been won
by the Texas Fuel company, represent
ed by Rufus B. Daniels, of this city The
decision Of this case has resulted in
favorable decisions to the other COM
panies involved.
The victory eliminates a two years
fight for reduction in the local switch<
ing charges. In the first hearing,
tried in Ell Paso, Dec. 6, 1909, the Texas
Fuel company gained it's contention.
Mr.. Daniels says. Following this, it is
alleged, the T. & P. company charged
the victors SO for switching, but con-
tinued to charge the other companies
the SIS per car.
The commission not only has ordered
a SO rate from now on, but suggested
that claims be presented to the rail-
way company for reparation for former
charges in excess of this rate. These
claims will be made for a 81 refund on
all cars handled between Nov. 4. 1908,
and April IS, 1909. The refund bill
will exceed $1,000, it is said.
Those more largely affected by this
arrangement are the Consumers Ice
company. Darbyshire-Harvy Iron &
Machine company, Constable Produce
company, several fuel companies. and a
large number of smaller shippers.

For the Woman Who
Has Beautiful Hair
New York Theatrical News).

The beauties in the Anna Held chorus
are famous for their pulchritude. Their
coiffures add a great deal to their
charms. How they can manage" such
abundance of beautiful tresses day in
and day out keeping always the same
well-g rOomed appearance, is beyond the
ken of the average woman. But, listen
while 1 whisper, these girls depend al
together upon dry shampooing to keep
their hair fine and glossy.
They mix 4 ounces of powdered orris
root with ounces of therox, and they
are prepared for a seasons shampooing.
Once or twice a week they sprinkle a
tablespoonful Of this mixture on the
head and then brush the powder well
through the hair. That is all there is
to it, and they have escaped the bother
and discomfort that accompany wash
ing, rinsing and drying the hair, to-
gether with the danger Of catching
cold.
The wonderful results they achieve
with. therox convinees me that it is the
only'thing that can grow hair, for their
hair is long and abundant in addition TO
being fluffy and Iustrous.
