at present indicate the cabbage loss
will be recouped to a great extent
by high prices.
w. Z. McDavitt, vegetable ship
per. declared Friday morning that
the supply Of this staple winter
vegetable now IN storage at north
ern market centers Is barely suffici-
ent for two weeks. The Valley re-
mains practically the only source
of supply. with the crop In the
Corpus Christi sectiin completely
destroyed: Florida acreage this year
is only 5000 acres as against $500
last. Principal damage is TO the
smaller plants, not yet heading up.
Damage Slight
Growers and dealers say that
damage to citrus on the trees will
be negligible. Specimens Of grape
fruit and oranges from orchards in
the Brownsville section seemed in
perfect condition, while the upper
end Of the Valley. where the Their
mometer went to 20 "Wednesday
night reported that the fruit came
through with remarkably little loss.
Growers and agricultural experts
say that damage to the larger trees
is slight; l.. A. Boory, Brownsville
nurseryman, stated Friday that an
inspection OF his orchards shows
trees large enough for transplant
ing were not damaged appreciably;
smaller stock suffered somewhat.
Extent OF the damage to trees,
however, cannot be accurately eS-
timated for nearly a month, or until
those coming out have had time to
recover.
Carrot Tips Nipped
Prospects for recovery Of beets
are poor after the second freeze
within a week. McDavitt stated
Friday. A check Of the Valley
showed carrot top slightly nipped
in some fields at the upper end Of
the section, but no real damage.
Freakish conditions saved a few
small fields Of tomatoes; McDavitt
said that a 15-acre planting near
Brownsville appeared in good shape
Friday, but that in general the
paintings are a total loss, and grow
ers are now replanting. Delay Will
r so slight as to occasion only the
loss OF seed and labor, and will not
make the crop late enough TO af-
feet the prices.
Shipments Dwindlc
Shipments Of truck and fruit have
dwindled to a small percentage Of
the usual movements due to wealth
er conditions, but here and at re-
ceiving points, and are likely to be
small for the next two weeks, Nc
Davitt says. Only IS cars moved
Friday.

considered Tuesday by the agri-
cultural committee.
Senator Nye, who has sup
ported the farm board in its
campaign to establish a nation
al farmer-Owned and farmer
controlled grain organization,
said he had received numerous
protests citing the conference in
Chicago last week between farm
board members and officials of
the national grain corporation.
The resolution would direct
the senate's inquiry also into
activities of the grain trade to-
wards the farm relief act and
would ask for report on wheth-
er the trade had sought to ode
press the world market for Am
erican agricultural products and
to reflect such depression upon
the domestic market for the
purpose of discrediting the farm
board"
McNary Calls Meeting
Chairman McNary of the SEN
ate agriculture committee or
dered a meeting for Tuesday
when the resolution was re-
ferred to him. Senator Wheel
er, Montana, suggested that the
committee might go ahead and
conduct an inquiry of its own
without a resolution, but Sena-
tor McNary replied that he did
not favor turning the committee
into a grand jury.
Senator Harrison, democrat,
Mississippi, urged that the in
vestigation be broad enough to
include an inquiry into cotton
and the reason for what he de-
scribed as a failure to admin
lister the insurance provisions Of
the law. Senator BrOOkhart,
republican, Iowa, asked that the
investigation include activities
in the oats, corn and livestock
markets.
Many protests Made
Senator Nye said he thought
the resolution broad enough to
include all of these.
Discussing the wheat situa-
tiOn, Senator Nye said:
The protests which are com.

MAIL ORDER
BRIDES" AT tenn
PIE MARCH IA

On Friday evening, March 14th,
the Junior class will present a
three-act comedy at the Farmer
Labor Temple. The title, mail
Order Brides" signifies the nature
of the play.
Two cowpunchers, acted by Wal
ter Rasmussen and Palmer Stencil
jem, are disguised because there
are only four women in their
community and they are all mar
ried. In fun they make out an or
der on Hamilton and Blake of Chi
cago for two wives. Nick Hen
shaw played by Alden Klovstad,
who is the owner of Ruby Heart
Ranch, who finds the order, adds
his sons name to those of the
cowpunchers and mails it. Prin-
cess, the Indian servant, is the
only one who knows about the or
der.
Nance Henshaw, played by
Marion Donaldson, and Bob Hen
shaw, played by Frederick Crave
have been educated and ranch life
doesn't appeal to them. Rose Gran
dali appears on the scene but no
one knows why she is there. Dag
ny lessen, Evelyn Miller and Beu-
I lah Nelson represent three very
different types of office girls who
have come to fill the order fol
mail order brides. Their arrival
puts misery into the lives of theil
three young prospects.
Howard Nelson plays the par
of an over-sophisticated son Of
Mr.. Hamilton. He has Travelled
abroad and is just little too gooC
for his associates. He is taught
some manners in Nevada, howev
er, by Skeet and Pinkey, who turn
him loose in the corral. June, hi
sister, little manager, is played
| by Elvira Mensing.
| The humorous situations int
which these young men are put
makes them wish for solitude
again, but when it is proposed thai
the Brides return to work, the
men are afraid it will be too dead
In an interview with one of the
sponsors of the play, she said
I'VE are giving this rather com
plete resume of Mail Order
Brides" in an attempt to convinct
all our patrons that an evening o.
| good clean fun is in store for ev
eryone.
School plays have not been a:
well attended this year as foremr
| ly. Lack of money among peopl,
is perhaps the chief reason fo-
this. When the Temple is crowd
ed with people there is no diff
Guilty in hearing every word sale
on the stage. 1t is a little dis
heartening to work on a play fo-
some time and not have a big au
dience. In school plays you know
the characters and theme ar,
usually good and Clean"
A matinee will be held at 3:30-
prices 25c and SOC. The evenin,
performance begins at 500 o.
clock and prices are 35 and SOC.

George Gano, a leading grain
middleman in the wheat belt, has
sent the following wire 30 the
white house:
"The Farmers National Corp.
Subsidiary of the farm board)
has issued order buy wheat at
stabilized price only from coop
erative elevators. Personally l
have so good country elecators
in southwest Kansas. l buy
wheat direct from farmers and
have for 80 years. This order
closes every elevator l have, as
the stabilized price is IL to 15c
above the open market in which
l am forced to sell my grain if
this order stands.
"This is simply confiscaticn
of a business built up in a life
time.
'You are appropriating money
to this organization for which
l contribute a good share in
taxes. Not more than half of
the farmers in this territory be-
long to the cooperatives.
"This is the most vicious or
der ever issued by an agency of
the U. S. government and should
be rescinded at once. Am only
too glad to assist in stabilizing
wheat prices. l have no axe to
grind with the Farmers Nation
al Corp. All l ask is fair play
and an even break. This not
only applies to me but to every
independent grain dealer in this
section.
"Wish you would confer with
Mr.. Legge and explain matters. "
The effort of the exploiting
parasitic middle men to STABILIZE
wheat prices ought to make Hoo
yer laugh. The grain gambler
are now charged to be conspirin
together to bring the price 1
wheat down so low that the far
boards cooperative plan will |
wrecked and the high old times {
bleeding the farmer to the linn
will return for the middlemen.
Chairman Legge of the far
board, former head of the ha
vester trust, appears more int
ested in letting the farmers hay
enough income to meet their not
on harvesting machinery than
helping the whining middlemen
continue their age-old racket.

.DARYMEN URGE
FREEDOM FOR
PHILIPPINES

Chicago-FP-The price of oleo-
margarine is so low that the or
ganized creamery butter makers
of the United States want freedom
for the Philippines. Let the Am
erican Association of Creamery
Butter Manufacturers explain.
Manager w. F. Jensen writes:
when oleomargarine sells at
retail for lie a pound, made pos
sible by reason of cocoanut fats
coming from the Philippine Is
lands duty free, it seems neces-
sary that something be done as
soon as possible to protect the
American farmer against the
competition of foreign vegetable
fats. Apparently duty cannot be
imposed upon any product of the
Philippine Island so long as the
islands remain one of our posses
sions.
Therefore from the standpoint
of the future prosperity in the
dairy industry it would seem that
we should support a movement to
give to the Philippine islands
their independence"
