the Standardization of practically the
entire Bermuda onion industry in the
United States.
United States grades for Bermuda
onions were recommended by the De-
partment Of Agriculture in the spring
of 1918. The same year the state Of
Texas legislated the compulsory grad
ing Of Bermuda onions according to the
grades promulgated by the department.
and adopted by the Texas state depart
ment Of agriculture.
When the onion shippers in the Goa
chella valley requested inspection serv-
ice from the California state depart
ment of agriculture in 1921, the depart
ment Indicated that 1t would be i'm
practicable 10 render such service un-
less suitable grades were agreed upon
as basis for inspection. Accordingly,
the shippers made a comprehensive
study of onion grades and decided
finally TO use the grades recommended
by the Department OF Agriculture. Per-
haps the most important consideration
leading to this decision was the fact
that since the adoption of the depart
ment's grades in Texas there has been
a considerable decrease in the number
OF rejected Texas onion shipments.

ID BE TAKEN UP AT COMMISSION MEET
Other Matters of Interest Will Be Submitted to Commits sion at Regular Session
 Tuesday

Many matters of interest to the city will be submitted to the city commission at it's meeting Tuesday afternoon. according to D. E. Me Lendon, president.
 One of the most important will be that of the development of the Green Springs property, which is being sponsored by the Optimist club. Commissioner William L. Harrison inspected the property Thursday aft ernoon, together with A. J. Hawkins. city engineer. and NJ. r. Messer of the Optimist club, and is most en- thusiastic over this project. He will recommend to the other members of the commission that an appropria- ton of $500 or S1,000 be made for q survey of this land, in order to as- certain the best method of starting the development which Mr. Harrison says will be gradual.
 Action will also be taken on the establishment of several comfort stations for white people and ne- groes. This matter was taken up some time ago and was referred to Mir. Harrison. MT. Hawkins and J. E. Spencer, building inspector, who made survey of the city Friday and have prepared a report for the com mission. One will be established on the Fourth avenue side of the city hall building and the others on the north end of the Rainbow viaduct on Twenty street Plans will also be discussed for the establish- ment of additional comfort stations from time to time.
 The license schedule for 1922 will probably be adopted at this meet ing, and. according to the president of the commission. there are few changes in the licenses charged this year. Many requests have been made for reductions. but it is stated that on account of the city having to carry . large number of delinquent tax and street improvement assess ments few changes could be made in the schedule.

After having a sample fair, Vienna announced that the value of business transacted was 30, 1000, 900, 900 crowns. That is im- pressive to folk who still confine their conversation to millions and who do not recall promptly that the crown has fallen from its old value to four hundredths of a cent. Even so. the Austrian crown of today when turned into gold dollars shows S14,250. .00o as the volume of business done by the Vienna fair. and such results are de- cidedly encouraging.
