Grape Growers

Present and prospective grape
growers of Imperial Valley will be
delighted to learn that the Agrcul-
/ ture Extension Service has arranged
grape growers short course to be
held in the High School auditorium
at Brawley, Tuesday, November 1,
and in the High School auditorium in
Ell Centre, Wednesday November 2,
thus giving grape growers in both
the north and sound ends of the coun-
ty ample opportunity to learn more
about this important industry.
The acreage in young non-prOducing
vines is 10000, according to the as
SCISSORS figures, and yet driving
around the county it is impossible to
find half that acreage. This indicates
that hundreds of acres have been put
out, and through ignorance OF neglect
lutely failed, These failures have
COS the growers thousands of dol
lars.
I Professor L. T. 3iolctti, chief of
the Divis on Of V,tlculturc Of the Uni
velslty IF California, and recognized
as ore of the greatest experts on
grape growing in the world, will Gov
er thoroughly all points Of interest
in growing of grapes.
Mr.. J. II. Cutler, president of the
California Fruit Exchange, the de-
ciduous fruit growers great cooper
ativc marketing association, will speak
on Marketing Table Grapes" Lo-
cal growers, it is understood, are very
much interested in marketing their
grapes comparatively, and will turn
out in force to hear Mr.. Cutler. 1t
is said that branch of the Exchange
will be formed in the Valley.
81 cannot too strongly urge all
grape growers and prospective grape
growers to attend these meetings"

S. p. REDUCES RATES
ON HONEY SHIPMENTS

"While no general reduction in
freight rates is possible until opcr-
ating costs arc lowered, the carriers
have announced marry. rate rcduc-
tions and arc readpusting thousands
of individual rates to eliminate in
cqualitics. grain, fOodstuffs, lum-
Der, low grade commodities, vegc-
tables, livestock, and manufactured
articles of many kinds are among
the items on which the freight cost
has been cut"
The above comment was made to-
day by G. w Luce, Freight Traffic
ManageW for the Southern Pacific
Company relative to the general dis
cussion of freight rates and rail
road labor wages now going on in
connection with abe threatened rail-
road strike.
81 would like to call khe atten-
ton of the western shippers, pro-
ducers, and consumers to n few of
the important reductions that have
been announced by the Southern Pa
cific Company and other carriers
within the last few months. These
reductions include cuts in rates on
root and green top vegetables and
melons from California and Oregon
points to Chicago, averaging IL per
cent; 20 per cent reduction in live
stock rates, temporary measure;
reductions of from 10 to 20 per cent
on eastbound ates on dried fruit,
dried beans and peas, and canned
goods; reductions ranging as high
as As per cert on furniture from
eastern points to Pacific Coast; and
many reduced wesabound rats on
manufactured commodities, Help.
full reductions have been made in
east and wcstbound rates on hun
dreds of commodities, both domcst-
ic rates and export and impora rates

An Increase, since the government
took charge Of railroad wages In tho
,Adamson Act, OF approximately, ~,
45O, 100000 annually.
In the light or these figures. 1t -
manifest that the recent reduction Of
wages authorized by the, labor board,
estimated at from 10. to IL per cent
in no sense meets or solves the prob.
lem Of labor costs and in no way
makes 1t possible for the railroads to
afford a reduction in their revenues.
Thousands Of Rates Already Reduced.
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and. ave
thousand individual reductioks In
freight rates, On some railroads the
reductions in rates have amounted to
more than the reductions tn wages, 80
far made, and on many other rail
roads the reductions In wages allowed
no net return on operations. but
merely provided against the further
accumulation OF, q deficit.
The point is often made that aXrl
culture. and other industries are also
suffering the same immediate Difficult
ties as the railroads. why. therefore,
do not the railroads take their medi
cine like any body else? The answer
lies in several facts:
l. The railroads were not permit.
ted. as were other industries, to
make charges during the years Of pros
perity, making possible the accumu-
lation Of a surplus to tide them over
the present extreme advsriity. Ac;
cording to the reports fthe Interstate
Commerce Commission, the rate Of re
turn on property Investment OF the
railroads Of the United States for the
past several years has been - FOL.
