115 Cars Tomatoes
Shipped Out of Alto
According to Agent Lee
Thomas, there had been 115
cars of green tomatoes shipped
out of Alto up to last night.
Twenty went out Monday,
eight Tuesday and seven Wed-
nesday.
The price has been very un-
satisfactory since Wednesday
of last week. Tomatoes open-
ed Monday week ago at foui [
cents, but the following Wed-
nesday the bottom dropped'
out, the price running arouna
1 Vsjoand 2c, however, the mar-
ket got stronger yesterday and
climbed back to 3c, and it is
hoped that it will stay that
way for a few days, anyway.
The fruit coming in now, is
exceptionally good, and this
may hold the price up. Fed-
eral inspectors have been on
the job the past few days, and
are culling close.
Mississippi opened up ship-
ments Monday and Chrystal
City, Miss., reports seventy-
five cars the first day of ship-
ping, which will gradually get
heavier as the season advances.
They claim to have about a
five per cent increase there
this year, and with the big
crop from Smith and Cherokee
counties, together with the
new shipping points in East
Texas, we are likely to suffer
another drop in price almost
any day, and the only hope
that can be held out for a good
price is that the standard qual-
ity be held up to par.

Tomatoes
Bring your tomatoes to Alto where there will be over a
dozen cash buyers and where competition means some-
thing.
We will be ready to start shipping whenever the farm-
ers are and we will be in the market every day and will be
buying when the season closes.
Let us all try and hold up the quality of the Alto to-
matoes by leaving culls at home and by pulling only
full grown tomatoes.
We give all a square deal and will appreciate handling
your tomatoes.

May Haol Tomatoes
in Private Car
There has been several
fanners to the Herald office
lately wanting to know if they
could bring their tomatoes to
town in their automobile. For
the benefit of the public, Coun-
ty Attorney Emerson Stone
wrote for an opinion on this
matter to the Attorney General
and received the assurance that
it was NOT a violation of the
transportation act for a farm-
er to bring his tomatoes to
town in a passenger car. Mr
tf0°nne sent the ^'lowing ques-
"Would it constitute an of-
fense for "A", who is a farmer,
and who owns and who has
duly registered his passenger
car as such, to transport his to-
whi^\°ru°ther. farm Pr°duce
which he has raised, to market
fi„ p*88enKer car, without
Urst having registered such car
as a commercial vehicle?"
In answer to this inquiry the
A^rney General answered as
"If, in the case referred to bv
you, such vehicle is used by a
farmer primarily as a passen-
ft"car' although he might use
occ®slons for the trans-
portation of property, never-
theless, we think it comes with-
in the definition of a passenger
car, and the owner should not
be required to register the
vehicle/® a commercial motor

THE COMMISSIONER OF
AGRICULTURE JOB
There has arisen a peculiar
situation in Alto concerning a
political office of Commission-
er of Agriculture that is prob-
ably without a parallel in
Texas.
George B. Terrell, present
Commissioner of Agriculture,
and who is retiring from the
office, lives at Alto. H. L.
(Hub) Maddux, one of the can-
didates for the office in the
Democratic primary in July, is
also a resident of Alto. Now
comes the name of E. W. Thur-
mond of Alto, who was nom-
inated at Dallas Saturday by
the Republicans at the State
meeting.
This gives Alto one retiring
Commissioner of Agriculture
and two new aspirants for the
same office. It seems like Alto
is determined to keep this one
office filled by Cherokee coun-
ty citizens.
