PEACHES GOING TO WASTE

Reports from the Peco. Valley,
the Ell Paso Valley, and other dis
tricts indicate that peaches, Plums,
and other fruit are going to waste
for want of a market. This is an
annual condition in New MEXICO.
In some parts fruit oes to waste for
lack of market. In other parts
peaches, pIums, and other fruit sell
at prices beyond the average purse.
The remedy lies in closer trade
relations between the various sec
tions of New Mexico. The trouble
is that New Mexico still buys SO
much of what it eats otherwheres.
1t is a habit that was formed in the
days whea New Mexico produced
little beyond long horn cattle and
cactus only. Though there has been
much talk of distributing the Peeos
Valley over New Mexico, no effort
has ever been made to bring this
about. liberia peaches are adver-
tised at two pounds for a quarter of
a dollar while in the Pecos Valley
they are rotting on the ground.
Transportation is both speedy and
adequate out of the Pecos Valley for
the shipment of ~perishable fruit into
many parts of the state where pea
ches are selling at fancy prices. The
rover is too busy in his particular
line to hunt a market. The merchant
who depends on the prosperity of
hi, community. has here an oppor-
tunity by finding a market for sur
plus products, not only fruit but a
long li.t of other farm products.
The lesson is hat New Mexico
needs to cultivate closer intrastate
trade relations. 1t may be much cas-
Ter for the merchant to buy from
some outside jobber than try to
handle home grown products But
II the merchant. believe in building
up home production and helping to
find a market. the mail order bus
ines. Of which thew complain will
receive a serious setback.

New MexNo will not need an abb

went into the hands OF a receiver
it was always due to nefarious and
wicked practices OF railroad specul-
ators, the demogogue said.
Government operation doomed in
the distance as the great ideal IN
TRANSPORTATION. Then government
operation was thrust on the ouu
try most UNEXPECTEDLY. The disillu-
sion came just as quickly. Cost OF
the service took a great Jump and
what IS worse it did not Jump lar
enough to catch up with the expense
Of running the railroads. The ser
wee soon fell much below the stand
ard of private operation even on the
best managed lines. Only N class
benefited greatly by government
operation railway labor. And II =
therefore to be expected that rail
road labor wants government owner
ship as set Il in the Plumb plan
and introduced in Congress as the
Sims bill.
The public has had enough OF gov
eminent operation and the public
ha, had IL eyes opened to the short
Comings OF the prewar system OF
regulation. The American public,
however. can not submit any definite
plan for the adjustment of trans
portation relations. 1t will have to
take What Congress provides.
The public knows that IT must have
adequate service to prosper. The
public expects that the transporta-
tion lines must have opportunity to
expand to meet the growth OF the
country. Restrictive regulations may
strange transportation development
and IN consequence strangle the
growth al all other business and
industry.
In a nutshell, when the railroads
are returned to private management
there Is opportunity to simplify re
gulation. There is opportunity to
build a new system on the ruins of
the old regulatory system that viii

new lines and otherwise expand as
conditions require.
II Is a grave situation and a dit
ficult problem. But so far indica-
tionS are that Congress Is trying TO
meet II as a business proposition
without radical influences.
