SPINACH FALLS j
Reduction Blamed to Freeze
And Fewer Acres
Planted
—
(Special to The Herald)
NEW YORK Jan. 10—A reduc- !
tlon of 500 cars in the anticipated t
shipments of spinach for January.
Is now conceded by heavy buyers
of the crop on this market. It I
now looks as If only 1500 cars will
be shipped during the month com-
pared with 2077 cars 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 ir.
Texas. As a result of the decreased 1
shipments the market has advanced
25 cents per bushel on all grades
and sales are now ranging 20 to
50 cents per bushel higher than last
season. The top of the market this
week has 6een around $130 per
bushel compared with 90 ccn*s and ;
$1.25 last year.
Evidence cf the lighter move-
ment is recorded in the smaller
car-lot shipments leaving both im- I
portant shipping states. The total
cars loaded have dropped off over
100 cars per week and further re-
ductions are anticipated as the
month advances. Shipments from
Virginia have fallen off 50 per
cent and ai only 25 per cent of
one year ago. With approximately
500 yet to move compared with
1600 last season it now appears
that the bulk of the spinach ship-
ments must come from Texas dur- |
lng the remainder of the winter.
The spinach shipments for the
country are about equal with last
season. Shipir:nts so far this sea-
son total 1873 cars compared with
1866 to the same date in 1929. A
comparison of Norfolk shipments
with those from Texas shews that
Norfolk is about 400 cars under
last season and Texas is about 400
cars ahead.
South Car lina will not be an
important factor in the deal this
year. So far this season her load-
ings have been only 25 cars com-
pared with 2 last year and a total
for the season of 111 cars.
Higher spinach prises are likely
to prevail during the rest of the
season due to the lighter ship-
ments.

LIMITATION IN
EDUC ATION SEEN
Texas Spends $250 per Year
On Students In
Colleges
(Special to The Herald)
AUSTIN. Jan. 1C—Texas higher
education now has reached the
question of limiting college and
university attendance though It is
•‘none too common.” Pres. H. 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 $250 jier year peT
student in higher education lie
said.
Higher entrance requirements and
fewer university students is one 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 20000 Tex-
as teachers to the whole question
of the state’s duty toward the
graduates of the public schools.
Whether all the young people who
seek it shall get free college ar.d
university education is bound up
according to Pres. Benedict's an-
alysis. in three questions:
1. Increased and .sure support by
way oi higher taxation.
2. Increased and .sure support by
increased student fees.
3. Decreased student bodies by
increased requirements.
Texas spends only two-thirds-as
much as the national average for
education bo’h 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 to its
financial position is putting only
a little less than the average into
her schools.
Dr. Benedict made this comment
concerning legislative appropria-
tions:
‘ Contrary to a lot of talk which
blames the legislature for most of \
the evils that beset the common- j
wealth that body is I believe to '
be commended and not blamed.
Many members deserve great praise
working diligently for the public
welfare under difficult and crowd-
ed conditions. The legislature is
far less to blame than careless
uninformed public opinion.”
After propounding his third
question whether youths shall be
excluded from higher education bv

GOOD CITRUS
PRICES LOOM
Five Cents a Pound on Fruit
Is February
Forecast
(Special to The Herald)
McALLEN. Jan. 10— Prices as
high as five cents per pound for
citrus during the month of Feb-
ruarv are being anticipated by the
McAllen Citrus Growers associa-
tion. and growers are being urged
to hold their fruit and demand a
reasonable price.
-It is an acknowledged fact that
Florida had less than 40 percent
of the fruit this year than they
had at this time last year and
there is no reason why the Valley
growers should not receive good
prices for their fruit the remainder
of the season.” says Ira Donelson.
secretary-treasurer.
“Every grower should be receiv-
ing as much as 3 cents a pound
for his fruit." Donelson went on in
his announcement. “and we believe
that anyone selling his fruit for
less is doing himself and his neigh-
boras an injustice. We are anticipat-
ing anywhere from 3 1-3 cents up
us high as 5 cents per pound net
to the grower and the only thing
to prevent the growers from re-
i ' ' .. i 7ii
celving this price 1* for e few of
them to sell et ft low price forcing
the others to meet them.'’
