new LOADING
RULES UPHELD
Railroads Permitted To
Require Lengthwise
Car Packing

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. RD-The
interstate commerce commission to-
day ruled that southwestern rail-
roads could require shippers to load
boxes Of fresh vegetables and. melons
croSswise instead OF lengthwise.
Railroads operating from Arkan-
sas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas
attempted to put the rule into effect
last March. The Lower Rio Grande
Valley Shippers Association pro-
tested and the schedules were sus-
pended until October 20.
The railroads claimed vegetables
shipped in what is known as lug
boxes, when packed ~lengthwise in
the car. were damaged to a much
greater extent than when packed
sidewise. They presented studies
showing that loss and damaged
claim payments averaged over $40
a car for tomatoes when packed
lengthwise and much less when
packed sidewise.
The new rules, announced by the
Interstate commerce commission to-
day, providing for crosSwise loading
OF vegetables in freight cars, were
announced last year, but were sus-
pended during the past season on
the request OF Valley shippers.
The fight against the new regula-
tons was conducted mainly by the
Valley Shippers Association, on
grounds that loading vegetables
crosswise would interfere with venti-
lation.
There was a division o. opinion
in the Valley about the matter. some
OF the Oldest shippers claiming that
crosswise loading was more salts

VALLEY FOLK visit IN state.

And here's the tale they bring
back.
A story Of tourists.
Tourists who did NOT come to
the Valley.
Did not come because they had
been warned not to come.
Had been warned not to come
because of mosquitoesl
Were told that mosquitoes swarm
ed this section.
SO many mosquitoes that there
was little peace In the daytime.
No peace at night.
POPPYCOCKI>
.lOf course.
yNot as many mosquitoes here as
IN other sections OF the state.
Number OF mosquitoes in the Val
ley will not compare with the num-
Der OF the pests TO be found In the
region OF other Gulf resorts not a
thousand miles away from the VAL
ley.
Here's our story and we will stick
to It.
Have not been bitten NICE by a
mosquito this summer.
HERE'S THE difference.
Valley is fighting It's mosquitoes.
Organized campaigns under way In
various Valley communities to eradi-
cate the nuisance.
County health units, federal men,
state men, all working to cut down
the mosquito infestation-if infesta-
ton be the word.
Work done by these various Val
lev units IS given publicity In vsri-
II Valley newspapers.
Correspondents Of upstate papers
pick I'D the stories in the Valley
papers, rewrite them, send them to
their papers.
The stories are published In the
upstate papers.
And casual readers Immediately
assume that II the Valley is doing
all this work to rid itself OF mos
uuitoes the Valley must be over run
with mosquitoes.
So the good work the Valley Is
doing to safeguard the health OF It's
Residents, and the good work the
VALLEY correspondents Of upstate
pSrers are doing in giving publ
city TO the Valley. actually does
harm to the section.
NO. WE CANNOT suggest any
way out Of 1t.
It's Just one Of these things thai
will happen every once in a while
You know and we all know. that
such a story is doing the valley a
great injustice.
Maybe we newspaper folk a
word our stories in the future a
little more carefully-quien sabeP
At any rate, the incident illustrates
what a boomerang the best consider
ed publicity may work out to be.
From CHICAGO, was this visit
'why do you advertise this coun-
try as a winter ~resort?" ne queried.
Because we have a winter ell
mate worth advertising" said we.
"All right" said he, then why
advertise It as a summer resort?
he queried.
We have the best sum
mer climate in Texas" said We.
A right" said he. that's my
mint. why not advertise It as an
all wear round ~resort2"
And do you know. it really sounds
sensible.

COTTON VALUES RISE
TO new HIGH MARKS
Decrease in Offerings From South
Tend to Strengthen Whole
Market.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 24-Rallies
from an early decline in cotton today
carried prices into new high ground for
the current movement, but prices broke
in the late trading under week end
linL:dation and little more Southern
selling. January closed at 500, with a
vtheral market closing barely steady at
net declines of to points.
The opening was barely steady to
points lower under overnight selling or
ders from the South which appeared to
be coupled with considerable realizing
and probably some local selling on pros
poets for improving weather in the
Southwest and in expectation of in
creased hedging. December declined
to 6.84 and March to 7.09 under the
early pressure, but the trade was
buyer and there seemed to be consider
able week end covering.
Southern offerings tapered OF during
the middle Of the morning, and for
time the market showed considerable
strength encouraged by steadiness in
the stock market, with December ad-
vancing to SOS and March to 72l or
about to points net higher on the
active positions. Demand then seemed
to taper off, while little more hedging
made its appearance In the late trad
ing. as well as a renewal of week end
realizing or liquidation. Closing quota
tions showed reactions of about 10
points from the high level of the morn
ing and were within a point or two of
the early low levels.
Reports from Washington that the
Department of Agriculture would ac-
cept cotton warehouse receipts on the
basis of cents per pound as collateral
for seed loan falling due on october 81
and November 81. came in for some
have helped to steady prices during the
earlier trading

are only two horns to the dilemma of
meeting the problem of maintenance of

increase in railroad rates and charges of
the laying of restrictive hands upon motor

ties" the report stated, Federal reg
ulation is preferable to none whatever,
If that is the price we must pay in order
that our rail lines may survive"
James S. Benn of Philadelphia as
serted that attacks on the State reg
ulation of utilities would reveal them
selves in Washington shortly and
possibly in the next presidential
campaign"
