NO CHANGE in
CITRUS RATES
This Years Crop to be
Moved Under Ex-
listing Charge

The 1928 citrus fruit crop Of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will be
shipped under the old freight rates.
according to information received
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. No action in connection
with the establishment of new rates
taken before February 3, 1929, the
commission announced.
Under the order issued by the
commission ~suspending the citrus
fruit rate fixed by the carriers. the
suspended rate immediately Joined
the ''~unIreated' class. The commits
sion originally announced that rates
on all commodities not treated in
the tariffs which went into effect
July Il. must be treated By Deem
Der S. TIE time limit was later ex-
tended 20 February s. and hearings
will probably be held on or before
date.
The present rates. while not sat
isfaetory to Valley citrus fruit
growers and shippers, are decidedly
better than those which aroused the
protests of all southwestern fruit
growers, shippers state. The present
rates give the Valley the advantage
in a large territory. but the pro-
posed rate, which was ~supended BY
the commission. would nave given
Florida a decided advantage. Rep
resentatives of the Missouri Pacific
and Southern Pacific have indicated
they would join the Valley growers
and shippers in working out a rate
that would not permit Florida %
invade Valley territory.
Practically all the fruit crop Of
the Valley will lie moved before Feb
ruary 8, shippers point out. and they
express confidence in securing an
equitable rate for future fruit cropv.
