The Missouri Pacific Lines report

All Southern states are shipping IN
volume. Tomatoes are moving from
all parts of the Gulf Coast country
and also from Georgia, and new pota-
to shipments have broken all pre-
vious records. New potatoes have be-
come a drug on the market. and in
many of the interior markets are
quoted at prices lower than old po-
tatoes, a condition without precedent
in the history of the industry. Ap-
proximately 100 cars OF Lower Rio

Tomato prices are also down to the
point where they represent practic-
ally no profit to the grower, the

0UAKESCAUSE
TERROR over
MEXICAN AREA
Temblors Are Felt 2
Days From Coast to
Coast; Casualties
Reported in Oaxaca

MEXICO CITY, June 1S.-(F-
Terror reigned in central and south
ern Mexico today after earthquakes
had shaken the region from the
Of Mexico to the Calf of Tehuante-
pee for two days.
Apparently the only casualties oc-
Cured in the state Of Oaxaca. Dis
patches from there stated: There
were casualties and numerous
houses collapsed" The number of
the victims was not given.
In many places people were camp
ed in the open, refusing to re-enter
their homes in fear Of new tremors-
so Shocks in Hour
Oaxaca was just beginning to re-
cover from an earthquake Of two
months ago and was the center Of
the disturbance. Fifty distinct
shocks were felt there in the first
hour of the quake Saturday night
and tremors Of lesser intensity were
felt Sunday. Streets in the city of
Oaxaca were cluttered with the
debris Of fallen walls.
Heavy seas rushed inland at Puer-
to Angel for a distance of sixty
yards. Various warehouses along the
water front were destroyed.
Big assures were opened in the
hills along the railroad tracks at
Puchutla and landslides were threat
ened.
Some casualties occurred at Mia
huatlan and the property damage
was heavy.
Capital City Damaged
In Mexico City the earthquakes
were felt as late at $3.50 last night
and these widened the cracks which
had appeared in the streets and
pavements. Many plate glass windows
were shattered in the business Sec
ton and a few adobe walls fell.
In the hotels groups of foreign
tourists, including many Americans,
fled into the streets.
The movement in the capital was
strong enough to swerve automo-
biles from their course and throw
pedestrians from their feet. One OF
the hospitals reported a case of hys-
terra OF the part Of a taxicab driver.
He became delirious with fear when
his car skidded erratically. The
driver lost control of his automobile
and it plunged across the sidewalk
at full speed, smashing into a build
ing and cutting two passengers.
Audience Goes Mad
In every theater the audiences
dashed for exits. There were jams
and brushes at the doors but no Sc
rious injuries resulted.
In one theater a motion picture
depicting the life Of Christ was be-
ing shown. A representation Of the
crucifixion was cast on the screen
and the title describing how the veil
Of the temple was rent in twain at
the moment of Christ's death had
just been flashed when the first
shock came.
The audience rushed for the
street. Men and women crossed
themselves and dropped to their
knees on the sidewalks, invoking d.
vine mercy. All attempts of theater
employees to stop the rush were fu-
tile.
The electric lights went off for a
time and increased the panic. Wa
ter mains were also broken.
There was panic as well in Pueb-
la, Vera Cruz and other towns. Peo-
pie rushed from their homes into
the streets and plazas and fell upon
their knees in prayer.

PLANT EXPERT WORKS
 FOR BETTER BANANAS

ITHACA. N. Y, March 27-- Healthier bananas are the hope of an Ithaca plant doctor.
 Dr. Lewis Knudson, professor of plant physiology at Cornell uni versity, is going to Guatemala this winter to continue his expert ments in the control of Panama wilt disease. which occurs ;n most banana growing countries.
 Dr. Knudson's work in Central America during the past several years is already credited with having saved large sums to the fruit industry, but he is seeking even more conclusive results.
 The nature of the organism causing the disease and the meth cd of infection had been worked out by other scientists before Pro- lessor Knudson undertook his ex- periments,.
 My investigations" he says, began with the recognized fact that the plant became diseased only on certain kinds of soil. This led to an inquiry to establish the essential soil differences. As a result. method was devised for predicting by simple chemical means the probable life on a banana area The method is now

used by various banana-producing corporations in the selection and purchase of land
 Further investigations reveal that the problem of resistance on the part of the banana to the fun gus organism is related to the nn- triton of the banana plant. EX- periments on the control are still in progress and while no definite control method is yet available the results appear promising.
 Professor Knudson is technical advisor to the Cornell delegation that recently went to Porto Rico to make an agricultural survey of the island. On completion of that work he will proceed to Guate- mala.
