ACTUAL FIGURES
FROM EXPERIENCE
Upper Valley Farmer Gives Views Of
Problem That Must
Be Faced.
Bv ". /. SCOGGIN,
(Of the Upper Valley.)

I do not believe the FL Paso produce
men make a fair statement Of the facts
in explaining why they do not buy the
valley farmers products
They tell the chamber Of commerce
that they would be glad to buy the
valley products. provided they were
properly graded and packed. but &C
cording to their statement the farmer
brings his goods to town in tubs,
boxes and barrels and when brought in
this manner they cannot buy them.
Besides the farmer never has them
ready at proper time and again he
wants too much for his produce.
They say I'VE can get goods from
California and Colorado at reasonable
prices packed and graded to suit the
trade"
Ell Paso IS the gateway through
which thousands of cars of California
, fruit and vegetables must pass to the
great markets of the east. These Tege-
tables are grown by Aslatlcs who can
live on an income that would starye
any white man of American habits. But
we have not yet reached the milk in the
cocOanut The markets of the east are
treacherous and uncertain, bitter ex-
perience has taught many valley farm
ers this truth.
The commission men Of California
keep in daily touch with eastern mar
kets, news comes of a sharp decline,
message goes forth to divert car IN
transit. These diverted cars are more
often sold at a loss than profit In
support of this I refer you to Mr..
CrOmbie's statement of being able to
buy cabbage at 40c per 100 pounds.
El PasO commission men get their
great bargains from these diverted
cars. With the contents of these cars
they supply the small towns of New
Mexico, Arizona and west Texas; thus
they shut the door of opportunity to
the home man. This is bitter mOrsel
to u, but to make it a bit more
nauseating they try, and have about
succeeded, in making the consumer be-
lieve it is all due to the slothfulness,
inefficiency and unbusinesslike meth
DDS of the valley farmer.
Where the Consumer Suffers.
Do these gerat bargains of Ell PasO
commission merchants lower the price
to the Ell Paso consumer? Hardly. In
June, 1912, Crombie & company offered
me Sc Z. o. b. FL Paso for green beans,
on the same day Baker & company, OF
Mesilla Park, paid me 4c; according to
The FL Paso Herald beans were selling
on that day at 15c. In June 1912,
Crombie & company offered me S1.25
T. o. 3. FL PasO for cabbage, on the
same day Barker and company paid
me s1.75. On that day the consumer in
FL Paso was paying SC for cabbage, or
IS a hundred
In July. 1912, I went to FL Paso to
dispose of my early tomato crop. The
highest price I was offered was 1 Lee.
The consumer on that day was paying
15c for tomatoes. In December, 1911, I
went to FL Paso to try to sell sweet
potatoes the highest price offered was
soc per 100 lbs. F. o. B. FL Paso. On
that day the consumer could only get
lbs. of potatoes for 25c.
The Question of Packing.
I have sold several car loads Of vege-
tables since coming to the Mesilla val
ley. I have had very few complaints
as to quality or pack. Even this year

Assuming there are 5000 farmers IN

men in the city who will sign up for
$50 each for three or five years. The
farmers might prefer to sign up &C

~ Don't Look Like Did Since Used
Stuart's Calcium WATERS"

The pores Of the skin are little
mouths. Each has sort of valve that
opens into tiny canals connecting with
the blood. These mouth-like pores be-
come closed. When these canals fill
up, the valve refuses to work and PIN
pies, botches, rash, letter, liver spots,
etc, appear
Stuart's Calcium Waters keep the
pores open and the canals then carry off
the waste matter the blood empties into
them.
Don't use cosmetics. They will not
hide pimples long, and then they clog
the skin. You ought to know that the
skin breathes in air almost like the
lungs. The pores throw off impurities
every minute of the day. To plaster the
skin with paste, etc, is to actually pre-
vent nature doing her work.
Stuart's Calcium Waters viii In very
short time cleanse the blood, open the
pores and remove all blemishes so that
your skin will become of a peach and
, cream kind so much desired.
Stuart's Calcium Waters can be car
ried in purse or pocket. They are very
pleasant to the taste and may be pur-
chased anywhere at SO cents a box.
Look at your pimples and unsightly
skin in the right way as disease of the
blood and pores and use Stuart's Call
cium Waters to give you the complexion
you want
