BROWNSVILLE — Although Er-

is a Californian, and keeps faith
with the Golden state, he admitted
Saturday that the Rio Grande
Valley is “just fine and dandy."
In fact. Mr. Bishop committed
I himself further by explaining that
i Brownsville's climate is "better

but he was quick to praise his
home state's Imperial Valley

"Of course.” he said, with true
i California pride. “Kern county is
i one of the best cotton raising coun-
ties m the nation. We can raise
up to three bales an acre, and I
average 249 bales."
