Florida Holds Spud

For the first time in the history
of the potato industry in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley the Florida
growers are receiving more for
their production than Valley

This was disclosed Saturday In
kilograms received by w. E. Nc

association. Potatoes were selling
at 1888 +. o. b., as compared with

their representatives in the central

and a firmer market.
The quality of the Valley pota-

Wide Range of Prices
According to reports received in
Brownsville Saturday, growers were
offering potatoes at prices ranging
from $500 to $3.50, and quotations
going out of the Valley were in &C

result, the dealers in the market

announced they will not dig pota-
toes unless those whom they claim
are responsible for this condition
have disposed of their production
or have settled down and accepted
the price fixed by the association.
These growers include Fred Rus
terberg, Singer Bros, Wilbur
Wright, Stiles Plantation, A. N.
Tandy and Sons, Starck and Burns,
John Starck, G. C.. VENT. Domingo
Alfalfa, Randall Mathers and a
number Of others, few of whom
have placed any potatoes on the
market.
Big Growers Not Digging
When the rest of the growers
get through giving their crop away,
we will start digging" one of the
largest growers of the Brownsville
section stated. II have been grow
ing potatoes here many years, and
never before has there been such a
chaotic condition as now exists. IL
those growers who are begging
shippers to take their potatoes az
$1.75 to $500 per hundred can al
ford to sell at their price, that is
their business. When they get
through we will have an opportun-
ity to stabilize the market and
get a little profit into the deal
There is no reason why there
should be a quotation under $500
going out Of the Valley. The mar
ket Is firm, the demand good. The
growers are merely offering their
potatoes to be used to further cut
the price. If they would steady
themselves a few days and listen
to reason the deal could be stabil-
lied and everybody make a fair
profit"
At meeting of shippers Mon
day an effort was made to stabilize
the price at $500 f. O.. b. and $2.75
cash, but this was cut before
night, when a number Of growers
were reported to have offered their
potatoes as low as $500.
Sacrifice Unnecessary
Association officers, several ship
pers and experienced growers are
unanimous in asserting there is no
logical reason for sacrifice of the
potato crop at the present prices.
| The inquiry and demand are good;
the growers have a long season
ahead Of them with no COMPETE
ton from the Eagle Lake or Gulf
coast areas to meet during the
closing weeks. Practically the only
competition is from the Hastings,
Florida section, where the growers
are well organized and are market
ing in an orderly manner with a
good margin of profit.
Competition from the Hastings
section would not be serious I'M
der normal conditions, shippers
declare. Hastings is shipping white
potatoes for which there is not a
heavy demand in the markets the
Valley supplies with red potatoes.
In many of these markets the VAL
ley potatoes have in former years
almost invariably commanded a
premium over the Florida product.
"If the growers are going to Of
fer their potatoes at SITS to $500
the shipper cannot be blamed if he
sends out quotations in accordance
with those prices" one Of the
shippers said. when the growers
themselves r cutting prices the
shipper naturally feels he must get
rid of the potatoes as quickly as
possible before the growers make
another reduction. If they keep
on cutting, the potato deal will be
in the same state as the cabbage
deal with many shippers refusing
to buy at any price.
The growers themselves can
remedy this situation. If they

IatiOn of their fundamental rights as free
citizens.
/ do not believe that prohibition ever
will be or ever can be enforced, and I Do
believe that if violent effort is made to
enforce it during the next four years by
the Republican Administration, the next
President of the United States will be a
Democrat.
Smiths candidacy proves nothing ex-
cept that the people did not want SMITH.
Nor would the personal liberty issue have
won in this campaign with any candidate.
But after four more years of shopping,
spying, keyhOle-peeping, and interfer-
ence with fundamental rights and lib
critics by fanatics and professional busy
bodies, the country will be ripe for a
revolution against un-American cOndi-
tions of this oppressive and offensive
kind.
The opposition to prohibition is not
merely by people who want to get drunk.
Prohibition is opposed by such temper
ance influences as the Church Temper
ance Society of the Episcopal Church and
the Hearst newspapers mOdestly put
the Church Temperance Society of the
Episcopal Church first.
The reason for this opposition is that
prohibition is a failure as temperance
measure. The more we try to enforce it,
the greater failure it becomes as tenn
perance measure, because the only thing
we can absolutely prevent is traffic in
bulky drinkables like wines and beers;
and these contain the least amount of

alcohol and are consequently the least
harmful.
It has never been possible and never
will be possible to prevent traffic in COM
pact and concentrated alcoholic drinks;
and even if the traffic could be inter-
fered with, every man could make these
in his own cellar if he should want to.
Furthermore, we must not make the mis-
take of thinking. that the country is 'di-
vided into two classes-drys, who want
to make the country bone dry; and vets,
who want to make the country sOuse- wet.
There is an enormous middle class,
which probably is majority class, who
believe in temperance and believe in per-
sonal liberty and realize that temperance
can be secured without prohibition and
never can be secured with prohibition.
These people do not want to be ruled
by the liquor interests, nor on the other
hand by the bOne4dry fanatics. Sooner or
later they are going to assert themselves,
and personally think it will be sooner.
Prohibition has been repudiated by
every country which has ever tried it.
Primarily, because it did not accomplish
the thing it was supposed to accomplish;
and, secOndarily, because it became such
an unpopular measure that no govern
ment could stand up under it, not even
firmly entrenched mOnarchial govern
ments.
Therefore, think that in offering
prize on how best to enforce prohibition,
Mr.. Durant is really offering a prize on
