INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES

The first freight rate increase an
nounced by the corporation commits
sion as the result of the hearing
held early in the week on the rail-
roads application was announced to-
day. The New Mexico Central was
authorized to make an increase of
33 1-3 per cent on freight. The
commission has not made any de-
cision as to the other railroads
which were parties to the applica-
tion.
Four-fifths of. the New Mexico
Central, it was estimated, was in 35
per cent territory-that is, the ter
ritory in which the interstate com
merce commission allowed 35 per
cent raise in freight rates-and on
ly one-fifth in rs per cent terri
tory. The stretch from Santa Fe to
Kennedy is in the .25 per cent ter
ritory. There are no intermediate
towns between these two points
only sidings.
The New Mexico Central was said
to be taking "little bit the worst
of it" since the line from Kennedy
to Torrance is in the 35 per cent
territory, but the company was said
to be willing to accept uniform
increase of 33 1-3 per cent for the
entire line rather than attempt to
use the three different percentages
by the interstate commerce
commissioning, per cent for freight
moving between Santa Fe and Ken
nedy, 35 per cent for freight NOV
ing between between Kennedy and
Torrance and 33 1-3 for freight
moving from point in the 25 per
cent territory to point in the 35
per cent territory.
This increase is the first raise in
rates granted as the re-
suit of the l. 6. C's. action, al
though all roads in the state have
asked for increases in intrastatc
rates amounting to the increases in
interstate rates granted by the
[. G. C.
Decision as to the other lines will |
be given probably in day or two,
after consultation with Chairman
Williams just back from Ell Paso.

the county and some of the parents
are going to be surprised at the
things these youngsters have accom-
plished. Within a comparatively
short time they will be the farmers
of the valley and the things they
are learning now will make a big
showing in the production Of the
county a few years hence. Encour-
age them to bring in their exhibits
and let them attend the fair as1nuch
of the time as is possible.
1t is planned to send collection
CT the best exhibits to the Harvest
Festival at Albuquerque.
A big merry-go-round has been
booked with number of other con-
cessions dear to the youthful heart
and there will be good ball games,
probably every day, so there will be
no lack of amusements.
Get your stuff ready for the fair
and let's have good one.

P|NT0S ARE THE
COMING aEANS

New Mexico pinto beans have
edged the old limas .out of first
place in the favor of American con-
sumers, according to w. A. Field,
secretary of the state bean growers
association, who has sent out inquir-
les to the various bean growing sec
tlons as to the probable price for
this product when the new crop goes
on the market. A few years ago
pintos were little known and the
small lima bean was the market
| favorite.
Michigan has planted about 273,-
600 acres to beans this year which
is about 15 per cent under the nor
NAL acreage. Crops are prosperous
and a 100 per cent yield is expect
ed. The carry over beans from
1919 crops, is approximately $50
cars and the largest on record.
These are lima beans and are quot
ed on the market at 51a cents. Mr..
Field has few cars Of. pintos which
he could sell now for 6 ga cents
but is holding for 7 cents.
The cause for the big demand for
pintos is explained in part by the
careful methods used in cleaning.
Mr. Field stated. Beginning Sep
tember Is new grading rules will be
in effect in the New Mexico associa-
tion, calling for the recleaned beans
not to contain more than Y of 1 |
per cent Of foreign matter, not more
than 2 per cent of split beans and |
not more than 4 per cent of wealth
er damaged or discolored beans. |
This ruling will be rigidly enforced
at all shipping points controlled by
the association.
The California growers associa-
tion reports that an acreage about
4O per cent less than normal has
been planted to beans, that prac-
tically none of the product is left
on hand and that it is estimated
that the market for the new crop
will open at around 7 cents f. o. b.
coast.
Reports from Colorado show that
the acreage is about 20 per cent
under normal there, that crops are
good and that the market will open
at about 7A cents f. o. b. shipping
points. Mr.. Field expects the new
crop quotations for New Mexico
{. o. b. shipping points will be 7
cents per pound The crop will bel
ready for market in September

Perhaps Editor Magee of the AL
buquerque Journal did not know
what>h was going against when he
started to reform the Republican
party of New Mexico from within.
Perhaps it would have made no diff
ference with him if he had known.
Anyhow, he is now learning. There
is but one way to reform theRepub-
-lican party Of New Mexico, and that
is to whip the stuffin' out of it.
When the Republican party of New
Mexico is beaten to death and born
anew, its ranks may be. proper
place for a man of progressive and
Independent ideas, but not before.
The leopard can't change its spots.

BOOST FOR
THE. FAIR

Arrangements for the Estancit
Valley Fair to be held at Estancia
September 16, II and 18 are being
pressed vigorously, and it is certain
that this years fair will be the best
yet held.
The town of Estancia cannot put
on fair nor is it going to attempt
to do so. The people of the town,
however, are going to assist the
farmers and stockmen Of the valley
to put on the most successful fair
this fall that has ever been staged
in this part of the country.
BY means of this fair we hope to
accomplish two things, namely, to
have a good time and to educate
ourselves with reference to what we
are now doing and what we can do
in the future to make our farming,
stock-raising, and business opera
tions more successful. Stock and
farm products will be exhibited and
nominal premiums given for the
winners. These premiums of course
cannot be large but it is hoped that
the benefit to be derived from hav-
ing them all together and compar-
ing them and the methods that pro-
duced them will pay a dividend
many times greater than all of the
premiums put together.
The newcomers here are looking
forward with keen interest to what
we are going to have to show and
we expect to be able to convince
them that they can go to no better
place than the Estancia valley to
find what they want. Whether they
expect to stay with us or not, let's
show them what we have, and we
certainly have plenty to show, even
though they themselves may not be
able to. stay they will tell others and
assist US to get in more good farm
ors.
Let's get together and compare
notes on the years work. If the
other fellow made hundred pounds
more beans to the acre than you did
on the same kind of ground and
with the same kind Of climatic con-
ditions find out how he did it. If
his COW produces more milk than !,
yours or his steers weigh more make
him tell you his secret and when
you get it you will have earned
mighty good money for day or
two spent at the fair.
The Fair Committee is open to
any suggestions and welcomes them.
If you have an idea as to how this
fair ought to be run tell them about
it, but whatever you do, boost for
it, give it your support and remem-
Der that it is for the purpose of
oenefitting all of US. 1t makes no
difference whether you are for
or Cox or Woman Suffrage,
you can all agree that we are for
The Estancia valley and anything
hat will make it better.

The 6. o. p. scrap over the gov

with the chances strongly in favor
of Governor Larrazolo and his re-
form program getting licked to 8
frazzle. The g. o. p. of New Mexi-
co is not stuck on reform, either of
the eleventh-hour or any other
brand. Wherefore it was at first
paralyzzed with angry astonishment
but it has now got it's breath, and
the way it will flatten out the Gov
ernor and his reforms will be {
