A Farm Relief Example

The Texas onion deal this year Is a splenold e%-
ample OF what can be done for farm relief If thos.

Amos Kirby. a market reporter in New York City.
in a special story TO the Brownsville Herald tells how
Texas onions have dominated that market this year
from the arrival Of the first cars.
This is the first time in history this has been true.
The writer Of the article gives credit TO the in
creased tariff and lowered freight rates. with the
present duty Of $50 per hundredweisht, the fore -
producers have found IL very difficult to ship to this
country and compete with the Texas product, kiriy
writes.
He points out that Chile has unloaded only s54 cars
Of onions at New York this year compared 70 So last
season and that only III cars Of Egyptian onions
had been unloaded May / compared to 362 last season,
There Is strong possibility that the shipment fer
the balance of the season will run far behind those
Of last year. because the importers have lost heavily
On practically all of the shipments they have unload
ed" Kirby says.
II also Is pointed out that lower freight rates from
the Texas fields to the eastern markets has been
a big factor. The reduction. Kirby says. Is 80 cents
Der hundredweight Of IS cents per crate. He esti-
mates New York will use 1000 cars Of Texas onions this
year. a record number.
An example that is the exact opposite Of the onion
deal Is the tomato deal which Is Just now reaching
its peak in the Valley.
Mexico-grown tomatoes are coming across inc Dn-
der in CARROTS and paying a duty OF only one-hai
cent a pound. To offset this duty the Mexican ran
roads have reduced the freight rate and Valley TO
tomatoes are meeting the Mexico product on q no
market basis. SO far this has not ruined the MARKET

almost certain to feel the Effects Of the Mexican to-
matoes soon
A duty Of three cents per pound has been asked on
tomatoes by the Valley. but SO far there has been
