Rain Hurts Figs

RATION ROUGE The fig crop In this
section has suffered severely during the
recent rains. The choicer varieties are
brought in from the country in great
abundance, but it is noticed that they are
not as finely favored as those that es-
caped a daily drenching. Water tends
to make them sour.
Alligator pears, shipped to this port
from Havana, are received In large guam
titles the larger ones bringing 225 per
dozen. smaller ones $3.50. This is rather
a fancy price There also is an abundance
of pineapples on the market at SIPS
crate, containing from 80 to So specimens
of the fruit. There is some demand for
the mango, a fruit favored particularly
by those who have tested their quality In
Spanish-American countries.
A scarcity OF peaches was observed on
the local market yesterday, but big ship
ments are expected the next few days.
They bring about Csc a basket, or from
H25 to $.40 for six baskets. A oonsid-
cradle drop in the price Of melons has
been noticed for the past few weeks.
They average from 70 to 80 pounds in
weight, and bring from SIS to SIS hun
dred. The 15-pound size brings about
so hundred.
A carload of Kentucky potatoes, first
of the season, was received yesterday.
They bring in the open market about
81. 80 for bag of $50 pounds weight The
Louisiana potatoes bring 75c per sack Of
70 pounds.
Kentucky onions are sold for $40 per
70-pound sack, and the Louisiana variety
of the odoriferous bulb brings $3.50 for
the same quantity.

100000 Peach Crop

HOUSTON.-'It is safe to say that
Texas will raise more than $1,000 900
worth of liberia peaches alone this
year. The greater number of these will
find their way to outside sources through
the Houston market, although a great
many of them will be shipped direct to
northern points by the growers. The
stock has never been finer, and the crop
will be the heaviest that has ever been
raised in the state"
The above sentiments were expressed
to a representative or the Post yester-
day by one of the prominent commits
sion men. who is in close touch with
fruit conditions in every part of the
state.
liberia peaches are grown in various
parts of the state of Texas, but they ap-
pear to flourish best in the Rusk and
Tyler districts. Thousands of crates
have already been received from these
two districts so far this year, and the
shippers say that the supply is practi-
cally inexhaustible, since the crop is
so heavy.

PURE FOOD LAW HAS
SENT PRICES HIGHER

WASHINGTON, July s.-"The congress
sional committee on the cost of living
recently detailed Is reasons for the high
cost of living, and yet ~one OF the most
important reasons for high prices was
left out their report" remarked Solicitor
McCabe, of the department of agricul-
ture, today.
1.-The execution Of the pure food law
has undoubtedly had an important effect
upon prices. Formerly resort was had to
adulteration and misbranding to reduce
the price of alleged food articles. Now
people buy raspberry jam, for instances
and pay more for 1t, but they get what
they pay for. So 1t is with many other
articles in common use. This increase IN
price, of course, is only apparent nus
it impresses the people who make pur>
chases as real"

South Carolina
New Rural Routes

CHARLEsTON-Advic from Wash
ington say that Postmaster Generai
Hitchcock announced today that In the
near future he will take decisive step
relative to the installation of rural free
delivery routes in the various congress
sional districts of the United States with
a view to determining which of the routes
in the several states now ready for IN
staIlation under existing requirements
are most important to meet the demands
of the sections involved.
For a number of years there has been
complaint that the postmaster generai
has refused to use the money appropri-
ated for the extension Of the rural de-
livery service to those communities
throughout. the country which do not now
enjoy the privileges of the service.
Congressman Lever, of South Carolina,
took this matter up with Mr.. Hitchcock
a day or two ago. The latters poncy'
Mr., Lever said, is one that has been Bit
terly criticised by members Of congress
who, being close to the people, realize
what this service means to the people.
The explanation which Mr.. Hitchcock
has promised to give the South Carolina
congressman will undoubtedly be read
with considerable interest In view or the
fact that at times speeches have been
made on the floor of the house by GER
tain members declaring 1t to be their be-
lief that the former deliberately refused
to make extension of the routes in order
to hold the service in check.
Mr.. Hitchcock states that after the
question relative to the installation OF
routes now ready for establishment is
settled, the resumption or extension or
the service will be determined upon In the
interest of good administration. This
procedure, he further states, will be gen.
eral throughout the country.

ROOSEVELT PLEDGES
SUPPORT TO BEVER|DGE
He Announces That He Will
Speak for the Indiana In
Surgent Against Kern

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July S.-Albert
j. Beverage, United States senator
from Indiana, and one OF the most
prominent and consistent OF the pro
gressive' republicans, came down from
Sycamore Hill yesterday afternoon
with a promise from Theodore Roose-
welt to deliver campaign speech in
his fight for reelection to the senate.
Mr.. Beverage departed content and
smiling, but he left 1t for the colonel
to make announcement in the senator's
behalf. And this is what Mr.. Rooss-
welt said:
Mr.. Foulke and Mr. Swift came to
Sycamore Hill last night and spent the
night here. They, came to request me
to go to Indiana and speak in behalf OF
that 1 would"
He added that he had agreed today
to make only one speech for the sem
ator, and as far as is now known hs
will make only one. The time and
place for this speech has not been
fixed.
Those who have followed the politi-
cal conferences at Oyster Bay since
Theodore Roosevelts return share the
belief that he has been feeling his way
cautiously in his attitude toward the
administration and the insurgents, but
today's incidents are considered the
most important yet developed. Sena-
tor Beveridge is making his fight for
reelection as an insurgent. He is op-
posed by John w. Kern, who ran with
Bryan in the last campaign.
In his fight the senator is placing
himself squarely against President
Taft, insofar as the tariff law figures.
The law which the president has de-
Tended as the best tariff measure
ever" is denounced without equivoca-
ton by the senator and the same Re-
publican state convention which in
dorses Beverage for another term vir-
tually repudiated the law. In the
senate Beverage fought the bill to the
last, and then voted against 1t.

Inch of Rain a Day

BILE, all farm work suspended for the past
ten days. The downpours are now of
daily and nightly occurrence. The sun
seldom peeps from behind the moisture
laden clouds, and the situation Is decided
ly critical. The cotton crop has been cut
short fully 80 per cent, much of 1t de-
stroyeu. All the late planted rice on the
lowlands has been drowned out and will
prove a failure. The young corn has
been seriously damaged by the constant
rains washing off the pollen, while much
Of the crop has been destroyed. Cane
and the old corn on high land are the
only crops which have escaped heavy
damage The total rainfall for the past
is days amounts to over Is inches. and

CropS Under Water

BATON ROUGE-Heavy rains con-
tinue in this city and surrounding sec
ton, and while the water standing in the
lowlands and on the public roads has
been removed by the natural drainage
conditions, the continuance Of rain is
keeping the crops more or less under wa
ter, with appreciable effects on the va
rious plants. The drought which pre-.
vailed in the early spring and the super
abundance Of rain at this time is caus-
ing a condition to exist that does not bid
fair for the results to be obtained from
agricultural pursuits In this section.
