cally 81 per cent of the shipments

Scant three per cent to the railroads:
according to the Daily Strawberry
Report No. Is" of the Federal-State
Market News Service.
The report shows that through
April 20, trucks had carried the
equivalent of 691 carlots to market,
while through the same date rail
shipment of berries had totalled only
% cars.
Through the same date last year.
trucks had hauled 80 per cent of the
berries, with rails handling II per
cent, the figures at that time stand
ing GOT carlots for trucks and Y for
the rails.
State crop experts are naturally
: retlcent about discussing the "whys
and wherefores" of the trend to
trucks as carriers, but shippers do
not hesitate to point out that ship
ment by trucks escapes trade bar
riers" which make shipment by rail
from Is to 16 cents per crate more
expensive when actual carrying

They point out that it costs about
S45 per car to get their berries off
railroad cars in the Jersey City ter
minals and transported to the COM
mission merchants-a charge which
does not exist when the shipment is
by trucks which deliver the berries

Many shippers declare this charge
IS due to "racketeering" tactics on

Raleigh, May 3-Filing of the
lobby report of J. w. Rankin in the
secretary of states office shows that
the University of North Carolina
student did one remarkably fine
job of PROSECUTING in the General
Assembly, all for $3.50, of which
it appears from the report $3.50
came out of the pocket of the young
man himself.
His report was on his activities
Gin fighting increased tuition
charges" and everybody knows that
the fight was crowned with COM
plete victory, pure and undefiled by
even hint of compromise. The leg
islators just bowed their backs and
refused to add even one penny t.
the tuition fees of North Carolina
students in North Carolina State in
situations of higher learning
How much of this was due to the
Rankin activities nobody can say,
but so far be is the only person who
has frankly and freely "fessed up"
to taking part in a lobbying cam
paign against the increases.
The Rankin record Of receipts and
S-NPNliSt1tNlC WCS llO lCllS LILY OOCu-
ment. 1t showed that he received
Sc from the Phi Assembly, while
the Di Senate was only one third as
liberal, chipping in with only So. A
$3.50 donation from the Woman's
Association brought total contribu-
tons 10 $1,000.
Against this, Rankin said he spent
$40 for transportation, Sc for food
and So for room rent two nights.
Which shows several things. in
Guiding: Cd Young Rankin isn't
regular at the game, those birds get
paid for their lobbying; (2) young
Rankin would much rather eat than
sleep (note that his food bill was
twice his room rentaD: and. (3) if
the cause is popular, even whether
right or not, it can and will prevail
without big expenditures for high
pressure advocates.
