TRUCK CROP
DROP, BETTER
MARKET Seen
Valley and State To
Produce Less Fall
Vegetables

There will be a 20 per cent re-
Guction In the fall and winter yege-
table crops OF the Valley this year
under last seasons crop, according
to estimates made by w. ID. Googe,
IN charge OF the federal-state CO.
operative market news bureau In
the Brownsville Chamber or Com
merce building.
The first vegetable report or the
season has Just been issued from
the office here. and contains in
formation on the situation as a
whole, and on various crops.
The 20 per cent cut comes as
somewhat OF a surprise to Valley
shippers.
Weather Unfavorable
Stands in early fan crops are
generally poor because OF hot
weather, the report states.
The Texas early acreage, prac-
tically all Of which Is confined to
the Valley, and the Robstown sec.
ton, is estimated at $3.50 as COM
pared TO $500 last year.
On carrots there will be an IS per
cent drop In the Valley under the
last season estimate, while the
Corpus Christi and Laredo areas
will have about the same as last
year. although producing much less
than the Valley.
In cabbage, the biggest single
vegetable crop in the Valley. the
acreage is placed at 1890. as COM
pared 10 1880 last year. Seeds are
still being put into the beds IN the
Valley, and transplanting for early
winter market Is heavier than at
the same time last year. Consider
able loss Of plants has resulted
from the hot weather. The Corpus
Christi acreage is placed at 5000,
the same as last year.
Fail Beans Drop
A drop from 2,130 to 1870 acres
is reported in Valley beans, mainly
the fall crop. with the stand also
only fair due to weather. Florida
has a correspondingly light crop OF
fall beans.
The crop in the rest OF Texas IS
even smaller in proportion TO last
year. with n equally unfavorable
start because OF the weather.
The general vegetable outlook at
present is for a smaller crop in the
Valley, but probably fair markets.
because OF smaller crops in the
competing territories.

PLAN WOULD
REDUCE JOBS
This WINTER
Counties Could Not
Get Aid Until
1888

AUSTIN. Oct. 22.2 R-Gov. r. s.
Sterling today vetoed the Brooks
bill. passed by the second extra
ordinary session of the Texas legis-
lature, proposing to allocate one
cent Of the four cent gasoline tax
to retire county and district road
bonds issued for construction Of
state highways.
School Aid
Three cents Of the gasoline levy
goes to the state highway depart
ment and one cent 10 the public
schools. The bill disapproved. pro-
posed by Rep. Ben F. Brooks Of
BagWell, sought 10 cut the high
way department allotment to two
cents.
Gov. Sterling said the bill would
have taken from the highway de-
partment approximately s6,000.000
annually. His veto proclamation
stated that under terms Of the
bill and the existing situation this
relief would not reach the counties
or taxpayers until time for payment
Of their taxes in January, 1888"
The bill provided that beginning
next January l the proceeds Of one
cent of the four cent tax should be
set aside in a suspense fund las the
same is collected monthly" The
governor pointed out that the tax
rate is fixed by the commissioners
courts in July or August and the
taxpayers would not get the relief
until they come TO pay their taxes
IN January, 1888"
Make Dead Fund
This bill, If approved. would take
from a live and active fund the
stated amount Of about $4,000. 900.
which If left to the highway fund,
would afford employment to hun
dreds or thousands Of persons, and
10 be used in the purchase of ce-
ment. sand, gravel. lumber and
other commodities, and would place
such sum in a dead fund TO be
locked up in the treasury until the
same is applied in the reduction Of
county and road district bonds in
1885," the veto proclamation said.
Consequently, I a not see that
this in any respect a be said to
be a relief measure 70 the people
during the present depression
The legislature declined to levy
an additional one cent gasoline tax
10 provide funds 10 be created under
the bill. If such additional gasol. :e
tax had been levied by the legisla-
ture a different situation would
have been presented to me In ar
irving at my conclusions as to
what my action should be on this
bill"
