Half Of Potato Crop
Threatened by Blight

A peculiar blight hitherto almost
unknown in this part of the county,
will ruin half or more of the early
potato crop, H. G. Niesley, county
farm agent, said this morning.
Two insects, known as aphids or
plant lice, and leaf hoppers, and two
fungus diseases known as rhyzicton-
las and fusarium wilt, are respon-
sible for many dead and dying potato
fields all over the county, the farm
agent. who has just finished making
a tour of the county reported to-day.
The rhyzictonias circle the roots and
strange the plants, while the latter
disease causes the potatoes to wilt.
The lack of rain is also causing a
hardship of potato raisers.

the subpect to the end that what is right and in the public interest may prevail"
 The new scales apply only to clas rates move most articles of high value or of miscellaneous-amou to var lety of destinations, or at irregular periods. Bulk materials of compara- lively low value, such as coal, brick lumber, grain and live stock, moving regulary in big quantities usually are hauled under commodity, or specific, rates. Rates vary on classes, into which are grouped articles in accord ance with their value, difficulty of handling, and other consideration.
 The five zones are arranged rough ly according to cost of transportation and desity of traffic in each One in cludes the southeast, one the northern Mississippi valley states, one the southwestern states, together with the central plains region; one of the lntermountain western territory and one the Pacific coast.
 The prevailing scale in Texas bas ed on the Shreveport scale. which was determined by the Interstate Con- merce Commission, is considered standard, or 100 per cent For exam pie, the charges for hauling 100 pounds 100 miles, are as fololws: First class, 5S cents; second class, 49 cents; third class, 41 fourth, 35; fifth, 27; class A. 30; B, 23; c, IF; D, 15; and E. 12.
 This 100 per cent scale is used in two zones. One is the Pacific coast, in cluding California, Washington and Oregon. The other includes most of Texas. Louisiana west of the Missis sippi, Missouri south of the Missouri river, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and the plains states of Kansas, Nebraksa,

points served by several roads com petlng for traffic with the lure of special rates; that it would promote haullng by the shortest route since ch:arges in general would be based on mileage; that it would permit free operation of commercial competition. now often restricted by state rate barriers, particularly in the southern states; and that it would simplify the calculation of charges.
 Objections are expected from many state commissions, whose rate mak Ing. powers would be limited by the action; from shippers who find the 1eadlustments would raise their rates from producers who might discover that relations of their rates to those ot competitors would be changed to their disadvantage and possibly from some railroads who fear the promo tlon of short hauling would reduce their traffic when they are restored to private management. Advocates of the new plan proposes, however, to re- tam existing rate relationships be- tween rival communities or producers as much as possible and to make the changes gradually in order not to dis rupt shipping conditions.
 A similar scheme of rates is now oelng worked out for the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, and will be announced shortly. Outlines of the scales have been sent to the Inter- state Commerce Commission to state commissions and commercial organ lzatlons for study and criticism,

 The charges In the intermountain zone would be 120 per cent of the standard scale. That is, it would cost 20 percent more to haul the same ma terial the same distance, as in the standard zones. Small volume of traf- fife and consequently smaller revenue is held to justify this higher rate i The intermountain zone would include Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho. Montana and extreme western and southwest ern Texas.
 In the north Mississippi zone-Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri north of the Missouri river-rates would be 75 per cent of those in the standard zone In this territory, traf- fife is more dense and consequently can be hauled cheaper.

If these interests prefer to retain the existing southeastern classification, a special scale would be applied, which can not be compared in terms of percentages with the stand ard scale. As an indication of what this scale would be, however. these charges may be cited for hauling 100 pounds; First class, 6S cents, second class, 5s cents; third class, 52; fourth A; fifth, 35; sixth, 30; class A, 24;
