undertone in the wheat market this morn
ing when May sold at 93laM939s and July
at 9ll4 to 91A G913sc. The disappointing

of the old world, but the news from the
Argentine as to the movement was gener-
ally bearish
Corn was lsGt4c lower under increased
offerings. The demand was small. MAY
sold at 53ls OFF, to Sc &c and July at 53ss

weakening factor in corn. Liverpool re

REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE
Lowry National Bank

Of 1913
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-09-30

a farmer, I am large consumer of
farm products. I believe that the Yege-
tables and fruits that are raised near
enough at hand to be picked fresh
and ripe, are better for US to eat than
fruit which has to be picked green
and ripen as it is being shipped If
at our hand, how much better it would
be for US. Every city must depend
on the farmers for lot OF its pros
perity- 1 believe II IS up 10 FL Paso
to assist the farmers in teaching them
how to plant and how to pack for Ship
ping, and that they must work IN. con-
nection with the wholesale man either
for local or out of town use The
trouble seems to be that there is eth
er a feast or a famine: either there
is no fruit at all, or there IS more on
hand than can be used and 1t IS lefr
to rot. There is no system among the
farmers and they must be helped 10
do it right Take the little farmer,
we must not forget him, for there are
many of him. He can not afford often
to do things that man with money
back Of him, can.
why cannot the commission men
buy boxes from the factory and sell
them as needed TO the farmers2 one
farmer may only be able to use 50
boxes. There is a big difference IN
buying 5000 boxes and so boxes, ana
the factory will sell the larger amount
give the farmer the benefit of this
He has got to be able to keep his eX-
pense at the lowest possible point IN
order to make any profit.
Urges Expert to Advise Farmers
st recommend that the chamber OF
commerce get an expert to come and
advise the farmers as to what seed IS
! best to use, what methods to employ
and how to pack The United states
government sends out these men, and
it may be that the state of Texas
does also. I think in doing this the
chamber of commerce would be doing
the best work it could in helping the
people to get started and in bringing
the farmer and the commission men
together. To show that the best stuff
pays, I was admiring some fruit in
grocery and the clerk said: Yes,
that is so and SOS stuff mentioning a
German farmer down the valley He
always plants the best seed and his
fruit is in fine condition We can
always sell all he brings IN"
Mr.. Kepley here arose again, and
said: In this matter Of education,
