TOMATOES LEAD
IN SHIPMENTS
Total Movement of Green
Wrapped and Pink Reach*
es 253 Carloads
By W. B. GOOGE
l?. S. Market News Service
Tomatoes took th* lead in the
number of cars of vegetables ship
ped from the Lower Rio Grande
Valley during the week ending Fri
day r ght, May 10. The total move
ment of green wrapped and pink
tomatoes consisted of 253 cars.
Green com was second in volume
with 162 cars rolled. Carrots con
tinue to be an important item, al
though the«97 cars shipped were
less than half the number forward
ed the preceding week. In addition
to the above commodities there were
shipped 114 cars of mixed vegeta
bles. 17 mixed beets and carrots, and
eight cars of potatoes. The freight
movement to date this season is
fruit 1735. vegetables 20.466. or a to
tal of 22,201 cars; to the same date
last season the Valley shipped fruit
1146. vegetables 16.401. or a total of
17.547 cars.
The green com market continues
to be rathe draggy, and prices have
declined to $1.10 and $1.25 per
bushel basket in carloads f. o. b.
usual terms. Growers are being paid
40 to 50 cents per bushel in the field.
Carrots have likewise shown a re
duction of 10 to 15 cents a crate,
wire orders being filled at the end
of the week at $1 35 to $1.50 accord
ing to quality. The few' beets mov
ing are of irregular quality and are
quoted at a wide range of prices
varying from $1.50 to $210 a crate.
The potato shipments were from
previous sales or off-grade stock be
ing consigned for what it would
bring. Potatoes are now being load
ed in the San Antonio section, also
in the Wharton-Eagle Lake section,
w’hcre growers are receiving from
$3.10 to $3.25 per hundred pounds.
As the volume of movement has
increased, the carlot prices if toma
toes have declined during the week
approximately 75 cents a lug box.
Wire order sales are now being re
ported at $2.50 to $2.75. Mature
green stewL: in bulk is bringing grow
ers mostly 5 cents a pound, com
pared with 6 and 7 cents a week
ago. Quality has shown considera
ble improvement, although the size
of the tomatoes is running too small
to satisfy the requirements of the
trade. Shippers report too manv
lugs are packed 6x7 and smaller,
since the various terminal markets
generally prefer a 6x6 package and
smaller, since the various terminal
markets generally prefer a 6x6
nackage and larger. The demand
for small sizes is limited, and the
presence of a good percentage of
small sizes in a car frequently makes
it difficult to sell even at a discount.
With the resumption of railway
sendee on the west coast of Mexico,
and average of nearly 50 cars of to
matoes a dav have been coming into
the United States from that country.
Mexican tomatoes compete serious
ly with the Valley product in west
ern and mid-western markets. Re

ports indicate the Florida section

The size of the tomatoes produced
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
constitutes a handicap in the mar
keting of the crop from this section.
The abundance of small tomatoes is
a difficulty encountered each sea
son. It is probable that Valley
growers will eventually have to
stake and prune their plants as is
done in other sections. Perhaps the
use of fertilizer will become more
general. Experiments by a few
growers have shown that rows
staked find pruned will produce a
much heavier yield of better sizes
than other rows in the same field
which are not staked and pruned.
It remains to be determined wheth
er or not the increased yield and
better sizes will compensate for the
.extra labor necessary to stake and
prune a field.

Manufacturers And
Engineers Announce
New Oil For Motors
HOUSTON. May 11—The mod
em high-speed, high compression
automobile motor has brought into j
requirement an entirely different
lubricating oil. In the olden days
when motors turned eighteen hun
dred revolutions per minute, it was
not necessary to give great atten- >
tlon to lubricants. The moderate
heat generated had no deteriorating
effect on the oil. and there was no
excessive wear either on pistons |
cylinders or bearings. Today it Is
all changed—high speed has dou
bled the revolutions per minute,
and terrific heat is generated
throughout, the motor. The old
time oils have been found want- j
ine.
The Gulf Refining company have'
always endeavored to keen pace
with the times and their large
cornr of chemists have scent time 1
and money in experiments looking
towards improvement in lubrica- j
tion.
Taking the best quality of paraf-1
fine base and the best napthene
base crudes, they, have perfected a
blend or two-base oil which pos
sesses the combined characteristics '
of both. Greater resistance to j
heat is one of the outstanding i
features of this new Gulf Supreme ;
Motor Oil. A tough vicious body;
insuring well-sealed piston rings and
a protective film over bearings. Mo- j
tors are kept in better condition
if this new oil Is used and care- 1
ful attention givsa to oil level in
the crankcase and periodical
changes made when long trips are
given the motor.

WHEATTAKES
BETTER TURN
Prices Becoming Normal
Again After Recent Pro
longed Skid
CHICAGO, May 11.—<jF>—Glid
ing smoothly along after a storm,
the wheat market came closer to
normalcy today than has been
witnessed in a long while. Fluc
tuations were confined to a range
of only 1 3-4c. and the close was
almost identical with yesterday’s
finish. Less favorable crop re
ports. especially from Kansas and
Nebraska, together with good-siied
export business in North American
wheat, made prices average higher
the greater part of the day.
Closing quotations on wheat were
irregular at l-4c net decline to an
equal advance, with corn l-4c to
5-8c down, oats unchanged to 3-4c
off, and provisions varying from
10c setback to 10c gain.
