On the whole, the special session of

Craig to receive the report of the
Constitutional Commission and de-
devise ways and means for a settle
nient of the freight rate Controversy

ed it to do was left undone. The pro-
position secured by the Corporation
Commission srom the railroads, relat-
ing to interstate rates was accepted
on the advice of the Governor. But
the Assembly did not stop with this
concession from the carriers. A strin-
gent law was enacted for the regula-
ton of intra-state rates, with neces-
sary machinery to guarantee it's en-
forcement. Governor Craig and 8
special commission to be selected by
him will endeavor to correct any
abuses that may appear to exist in the
matter of intra-state shipments. To
enumerate:
The recent session of the General
Assembly was in session exactly
twenty days. During this time 497
bills and nineteen resolutions were en-
rolled and ratified. The principal
measures passed are: The bill submit

TEXAS POTATO CROP
TO COME TO RESCUE
California Growers Cut Production %
Percent, but the Texas Crop Is
Normal and Now Moving.

Spuds-the vulgar, trade name for
potatoes-WilI be worn as La Vallieres
in Tiffany settings this summer if the
southern California crop is depended
upon to supply the local consumers
with the Irish taprOot.
Because Of the overprOductiOn OF
"Murphys" in California last year the
market was flooded and many acres
were never dug, the potatoes being al
lowed to rot in the ground, as they did
not bring enough to pay for the dig
ging. Because OF this, the California
growers cut their crop IS percent this
year, and less than 5000 acres viii be
planted in the southern California dis
trict- At one time the spudlets were
selling for IS cents per 100 on the hoOf,
with no takers for the Celtic lemons
Even the Stockton and northern Cali
fOrnia growers have reduced their
planting by more than One-half.
T. 7. Kepley, who is the potato pro-
fessOr Of these parts, says that the
local market will suffer no great and
sudden shock. The new Texas crop is
now coming in by express and is sell
ing for $3.50 per 100 pounds. Potatoes
from the other fields are selling for
S1.35 per cWt with few takers. The
wave Of potato culture extends over
Texas like a blight, the FL Paso potato
man says. After the gulf sends its
yearly product TO this market then the
zone extends nOrthward to the black
lands Of Texas. From there it jumps
to California and goes up the Cali
fOrnia coast. Mr.. Kepley predicts a
drop in the price Of potatoes after the
early season has passed and the pota-
toes are coming in carload lots. But
a considerable figure in the next years
crOp.
