Ii IMITATION In
SEEN
Texas Spends $3.50 per Year
On Students In
Colleges
Especial to The HERALD

AUSTIN, Jan. lc-Texas higher
education nov has reached the
question Of limiting college and
university attendance, though 1t Is
none too common" Pres. II. Y.
Benedict Of the University Of Tex
as said in the January Texas Out
look, publication of the State
Teachers association. Texas is
spending abou $3.50 per year per
student in higher education, he
said.
Higher entrance requirements and
fewer university students is Il Of
the three problems into which Pres,
Benedict resolved the financing OF
college and university education in
Texas. He stated the matter as a
problem and not as a solution, and
invited attention of the 10000 Tex
IS teachers 10 the whole question
OF the states duty toward the
graduates OF the public schools.
Whether all the young people who
seek IL shall get free college and
university education is bound UP,
according to Pres. Benedict'S an
alysys, in three questions:
/. Increased and sure support by
way OF higher taxation.
2. Increased and sure support b.
increased student fees.
8. Decreased student bodies, BY
increased requirements.
Texas spends only two-thirds as
much as the national average for
education, both grade and higher
education. Dr.. Benedict pointed
out. Since the wealth and income
Of Texas are only two-thirds the
national average. Dr.. Benedict said
we find Texas in proportion 10 its
financial position is putting only
a little less than the average into
her schools.
DR.. Benedict made this comment
concerning legislative appropria-
tons:

SPINACH FALLS
OFF 500 CARS
Reduction Blamed to Freeze
And Fewer Acres
Planted
Especial TO The Herald)

NEW YORK, Jan. i0-A reduc-
ton Of 500 car In the anticipated
shipments OF spinach for January
Is now conceded by heavy buyers
Of the crop on this market. 1t
nov looks as If only 1900 cars will
be shipped during the month COM
pared with 2,077 Ears during jan
uary one year ago.
The reduction is blamed on the
freeze that hit the fields at Nor
folk nearly one month ago and the
reduced acreage and drought in
Texas. As a result of the decreased
shipments the market has advanced
rs cents per bushel Oh all grades
and sales are now ranging 20 TO
so cents per bushel higher than last
season. The. top Of the market this
week has been around 81 80 per
bushel compared with 80 cents and
Sl-25 last year.
Evidence OF the lighter move
ment is recorded in the smaller
car-lot shipments leaving both I'M
portant shipping states. The total
cars loaded have dropped off over
100 cars per week and further re-
auctions are anticipated as the
month advances. Shipments from
Virginia have fallen off so per
cent and a. only Is per cent Of
one year ago. With approximately
500 yet to move compared with
1900 last season. 1t now appears
that the bulk OF the spinach ship
mentS must come from Texas dur
ing the remainder of the winter.
The spinach shipments for the
country are about equal with last
season. Shipm ,nts so far this sea-
son total 1873 cars compared with
1865 to the same Gate in 1929. A
comparison OF Norfolk shipments
with those fro-- Texas. shows that
Norfolk Is about 400 cars under
last season and Texas Is about 400
cars ahead.
South Car lima viii not be an
important factor in the deal this
year. So far this season her load
ings have been oniy Is cars COM
pared with 2 last year and a total
for the season OF III cars.
Higher spinach prices are likely
60 prevail during the rest Of the
season due to the lighter ship
mentS.
