WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
interstate commerce commission to-
day reaffirmed its previous decision
prescribing lower rates on deciduous
fruits, other than apples, from Cali
fornia to transcontineptal points. 1t

Pacific and other lines against the

The commission has ordered rates
of $1.73 to eastern points and of

In reafflrming the decision, the
commission said that rates preserib-

rates compatible with maintenance
of adequate transportation service
and necessary to promote freedom
of movement of products of agri-
culture affected by depression.
The lower rates were ordered fol

League that rates on fresh fruitS

WOMAN ASSERTS
SHE WAS D0PED
BY COMPANIONS
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IL
Heavily drugged and suffering from
minor injuries, Mrs. Faye Rowland
is in hospital here today while the
police check her story that she was
doped and thrown from an automo-
bile last night by two men of
party with which she was travelling
to Sacramento.
According to the woman's story,
she had been making tour of the
country with Lee Foster. 32, Frank
Martin, 33, and their wives. She
said thev had travelled from Sacra-
mento to Oklahoma and Texas and
last night were going to Sacramento
where she had been staying with
Martins mother.
Mrs. Rowland declared that the
last thing she remembered was tax
ing a drink of lemon Coea-Cola from
Martin. She recovered conscious
ness in police ambulance. Her
wrist watch and four dollars were
missing, she said.
The woman was found on the
Ridge route near Saugus early to-
day in such a deep stupor that it
was thought at first she was dead.
Her story to police is ineoherent.
She first said she lived in Ell Paso,
Texas, but later declared she did not
remember where her home was but
that she had been living in Sacra-
mento for some time. She described
Foster and Martin as Indians who
receive government income.

Sweet Potato
Seed Should Be
Sele cted Now

One of the best WAYS to boost next
years sweet potato crop is to select
seed now, according to Frank Bey-
schlag, assistant farm advisor.
He saws: eff the grower waits un-
til all the crop is gathered it is too
late to select the best seed. The
hest plan is to plow out a few rows
in the best part of the field before
the crop is dug. Keep each hill in
separate pile. Only hills produc-
ing five or more uniform marketable
potatoes should be selected. From
these all the small potatoes, from
three quarters to one and one half
inches in diameter, should be saved
for next years seed. Experiments
show that potatoes of this size pro-
duce more plants than larger ones
and the plants are just as vigorous
and productive.
1T is also recommended by the
division of truck crops of the Uni
,ersity of California that as a pre-
caution against diseases, especially
stem rot or wilt, the main stem of
every selected plant should be split
open. A brown or black discOlora-
ton in the stem indicates infection
by the stem rot fungus, which is
likely to be transmitted in the seed.
Hence hills showing shem discolora-
tion should be discarded so far as
seed purposes are concerned

Salvatore Maggie of FL Centre
was found guilty on charge of
having failed to force w. f. Peear-
rara to stop the truck he was driv-
ing and render aid following an au-
tomobile accident by jury in Judge
Finney's court yesterday afternoon.
The jury returned the verdict after
celebrating for approximately three
hours.
The case grows out of an accident
on the Yuma highway, about 12
miles east of Holtville in which
Mrs. w. A. Oswell was injured when
the machine driven bv her husband
was struck by truck. Maggie and
Pecarrara claimed that they knew
nothing of the wreck, not having
been in that vicinity at the time.
Several witnesses, however. identi-
fled the two as persons they had
seen at points further along the
highway on the morning in ques-
ton. A jury yesterday failed to
reach a verdict in the Pecarrara
ease.
After the verdict of the jury had
been returned, r. B. Whitelaw, at
torney for the defendant intimated
that the ease would be appealed.
The manslaughter charge against
Maggie. which was to have come up
for preliminary hearing in Judge
Smyer's court at Holtville yester-
day afternoon was continued over
until Friday afternoon at the re-
quest of r. B. Whitelaw, attorney
for the defendant.
The charge was brought against
Maggie as the result of the fatal ac-
cident on he Holtville highway last
Saturday in which c. A. Peek, a
tourist, was killed. Maggie is at
present in custody, bail in the case
having been set at $4,000.
