City to Have
Acres Spinach
Daring Next Season
With the time for starting spinach
plantlu#.only a few weeks off estimates
are being made of the acreage to be
; planted at Crystal City and La Pryor
during the next season. These two
points In Zavala county shipped 4880
carloads of spinach last season. Crys-
tal City with a record of 8059 carloads
last season Is conceded to be the larg-
est spinach shipping point in the {world.
Estimates agree that approximately
90,000 acres of spinuch will be planted
at Crystal City and 8,000 acres at La
Pryor, making a combined acreage for
Zarala County of around 23,000 acres.
The ontlook for a big production
the coming season was never more
promising. Water In the Nueces river
was higher on Aug. 1st than it has
been on the same dute since 1010, ac-
cording to Mr. A1 Childress, and water
Is standing higher In the wells and
lakes are all full. There Is ample wa-
ter for Irrigating the crop, if It needs
to be Irrigated. Spinuch grown In this
immediate section is recognized to be
of a superior quality and even under
Irrigation it can be produced and load-
ed on cars as cheaply here as at other
where grown without Irrigation,
■use of mass handling. Barring
Providential hindrances, Zavala county
can supply the spinach demands of the
United States next winter.

BEAN AND PEA EXPOTT
TO CONFER WITH FARMERS
HERE SATURDAY, AUG. 11
At a meeting of fanners Monday af-
ternoon It waa decided the pea and
beau crop now growing could ba con-
verted Into cash if thrashing and fu-
migating plants were available.
At the last meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, Mr. Pittman, who is rep-
resenting the largest Pea A Bean Job-
bers In the country, stated that the
crop In Colorado la about 200 thousand
bushel short, also that he thought that
beans and peas cun be grown here
cheaper than other places he visited.
A proposition to install a thrasher and
fumigutor was inude of sufficient uc-
reuge is pledged to support It.
Legumes have been planted here for
the main purpose of building up the
land on which spinach has been grown
for many years in successlon.Tbe crop
waa plowed nnder, there being no
reudy market for it.
It Is therefore obvious that any re-
turns that the farmer may get out of
the (teas or beans would be accounted
as a net profit, since the fertilizing
properties of either the bean or pea
plant Is lu the root of the plant.
At the meeting, Saturday next, Aug.
11, 3:00 P. M. steps will be taken for
concerted action on this fall's planting
and the marketing of the peas now in
the fields.
Every farmer in this vicinity is cor-
dially invited to attend. The meeting
will be at the Community Building.
Mr. Redding and Mr. McNiel are as-
sisting the Industrial oemmittee in

Crystal City fonr, Eagle Pass three
was the story of one of the
hardest fought games of the season
last Humlay on the local diamond giv-
ing the local team a cinch on being In
tlm Play-Off Series for the champion-
ship of the Winter Garden League.
Carroll Hunt again repeated his
regular performance by pitching his
part side slants to the fast Engle team
just too much for them to handle aud
except for one innning held them In his
hand and was complete master of the
game. This boy Hunt has made a
marvelous record for himself and la
uow considered one of the best. If not
the best, pitchers who has ever graced
the Mound In the Winter Garden Dis-
trict. Hunt is not only a pitcher bit
a great hitter leading his team In bat-
ting, a good base runner, possessing
a fine knowledge of the game In t-very
department, a gentleman and a prince
on the diamond or off.
We cannot overlook the fact that
Huut has been handled m great style
by a veteran catcher who ts none other
than Roger Morris. Roger’s head
work behind the bat has been su-
perb aud much credit is due him, both
as a neat little catcher and he is right
up at the top with his batting average.
Crystal scored the first run of the
game after tvvo were out when Jus-
tice hit a slashing double to right cen-
ter and Captain Racer lived well up
to his name by smashing a hard sin-
gle to left scoring Justice.
Eagle Pass came back In the fifth,
scoring three runs on four hits and an
error but the locals put their second
run across the plate In the sixth when
Morgan was safe at first r.n Thomp-
son's error, Hunt was given a life on
fielder’s choice, Justice forced Hunt
at second and Morgan scored when
Racer was out on a grounder to Thomp-
son.
Neither side threatened to score
again until the eighth when after Mor-
gan was out to first, Hunt singled to
center and Racer again drove a hard
single to right, scoring Hunt after the
hall got away from Howard, tielng the
score at three all, and at^hls point
Ralph Brown was sent In as r. pinch
hitter with the old ball game In his
hat and Ralph hit a hard single to dtep
short scoring Racer and won another
ball game for his home team.
Local stars of this game were nu-
merous, Cotton Adams aud Whit Jus-
tice were hitting terrific drive.*. Hunt
pitching beautifully, Briggs pad Mount
playing a bang-up game on second.
Brown’s timely single, but thj bright
and shining start throughout the whole
snappy und his three hard drives
whose fielding at third was fast und
game wns “Captain Buddy Uacer”
counted largely in handing Eagle Pass
a hard defeat
Crystal City has one more regular
game next Sunday at home against l.n
Proyor. This promises to be a fast
game as La Pryor has been getting
stronger and stronger and have been
offering some hard competition. The
local team needs your support now. so
let’s all turn out Sunday at three p.
m. and help spur them on to a victory.

Tuesday a hid from Fairbanks Morse
A Co. was received for the Installation

City. Up to the time we go to press
no action had been taken by the city
officials on the proposition, at least
not so far as we could learn. In view
of no action having been taken In the
matter by the city council, represen-
tatives of Fairbanks Morse Co. pre-
ferred that we not publish their propo-
sition.
It is understood that the city council
will need to act In the matter, at least
to the end that an election he called
for the citizens to rote their approval
or rejection. The price made by the
Fairbanks Morse Co. is generally un-
derstood to be $150,800.00 for a com-
plete set-up of plant nnd distribution
system, to lie paid out of the net earn
Ings from the plant, supplemented by
$15,000 from earnings of the wnter

Mango Maize Beats
Algeria, Wilmeth Says
L$fUgg
Mr. W. S. Wilmeth hud been telling
us of the fine feed crops he had grow-
ing on hla place and he called our hand
right now when he read about Pul-
llam’a Algeria last week. Monday
morning of this week we drove out to
his farm which Is just east of the Nue-
ces river on the Brundage road. He
was right. There are 250 acres of as
fine feed as one would want to see.
We started putting down the number
of acres of each variety, but we can’t
untangle our figures. There are 80
acres of double dwarf maize and 50
acres of medium dwarf maiae. If we
got It right. Then there are 00 acre*
in Algeria and hegarl, 45 corn, 8 acres
pop corn, 11 acres sorghum and 2 acres
mango maize.
And this mango maize ha* greatly
Interested Mr. Wllmnth. This Is the
second or third year he has grown It,
and last year it didn't do ao well, but
this year It Is the best producer he
has on the farm. It Is thick In the
row and there are very few bead*
leas than IS Inches In length and all
filled ont perfectly It seems. The fod-
der also makes a very fine feed. The
grain so closely resembeto mile maiae
that yon can hardly tell the difference
and mail* always bring* more on the
market Mr. Wilmeth says.
There are several acres of Hastlag’s
prolific com which beats anything we
ever saw. The grains are email and
In planting the platoer dropped two
grains in place ef one about 18 inches
apart In the drill. It seems that every
grata made a stalk and each stalk has
at least two •‘snekers’’ sad every atalk
sucker has from two la flea
On one stalk and its two
corn. It is a fine producer for grain,
but for ensilage we dare say nothing
could beat this.
Mr. Wilmeth spoke very favorable
about Algeria. Said it had much In
its favor. It comes right up when
£pjvq B| H ~)snj SMOJg pus pojui'ld
and a heavy producer of grain and fod-
der. But Mr. Wilmeth la not so sure
he prefers It to hegsrl or milo maize.
The greater portion of the 250 acres
of feed on this farm was planted after
spinach last spring and made without
Irrigation. Most of the grain will be
thrashed and sold loose In the cars If
a market la found. Cattle will be
turned Into the fields to graze on the
stalks. There are about 75 head of
cattle on the farm and they will get
more.
We didn’t mention the acre or more
of Sunflower grown for chicken feed.
This entire farm waa planted, cul-
tivated and will be harvested by Mr.
Wilmeth and his son and one hired
hand. Mr. WUmeth thinks this sec-
tion will eventually ha saw of tha gnat
cattle feeding centers. There will also
be mills for grinding ead mixing feeds
for stock and poultry. They fed
sheep lest winter but didn't do so well,
pertly because of Inexperience but
largely because of market eoadltloae.
Haring read about a* slipping Into
Pulliam’s beck doer last week aad
swiping some peaches, Mr. Wilmeth
kept as away from the hones. We saw
seam peaches on the trees, however.

From Ancient Times
the Story of Spinach
Has Interested Hen
The following “Story of Spinach’’
was written by Editor Milton Everett
and published In August issue of Texas
Industrial Resources at Han Antonio,
copies of which may l)e had for 10c
each. It is a most interesting article
and such Information broadcasted over
the country would no doubt greatly
Increase the use and sale of spinach.
The article Is rather lengthy, but read
it, as follows:
The Story of Spinach Is a romantic
story that threads through history for
more than a thousand years. No other
food of man has taken us much space
for so long a time in the pages of his-
tory.
Spinach (Spinacla oleracee), the
origin of which name Is lost In the an-
tiquity of the Romanic languages, had
its origin as a food In Asia. Perhaps
the tale of those ancient times that
Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon,
“ate grass” was the first reference to
eating spinach, but whether true or
legendary, it is true thut In the region
of Babylon spinach wus a food in
very ancient days, some authorities
giving the opinion that it originated as
a food in Persia.
Chinese chronicles of the Seventh
century mention the cultivation of spin-
ach, according to Dr. Lewis Sturdevant
In his “Notes on Edible Plants,” a high
authority.
Spinach was Introduced into Europe
and cultivated there certainly before
the Twelfth entury, for In that century
history records that it was known In
Spain as the “Prince of vegetables,” and
from that early day it has had a wide-
spread reputation l>oth ns a health-giv-
ing and a succulent nnd tasty food.
Not long after Its introduction into
Spain its use nnd cultivation spread to
other western Eurojienn nations, and It
was fn much use among the gentry of
England as early as the Fourteenth
century. In A. D. 1351 mention Is
made of Spinach in a list of vegetables
to be used by monks on feast days,
and In the year 1390 the name Spin-
orhes occurs in a cook book compiled
for the use of the Court of King Rlca-
nrd II. In A. D. 1791 James Boswell
records in his Johnson, a biography of
the famous Samuel Johnson who lived
A. D. 1700-84, that at a dinner with
him, “we had a very good soup, a boiled
leg of mutton and spinach.’’
Spinach as a Health-Giving Food
For more than five hundred years at
least, spinach has been given credit as
n curative or health-giving vegetable.
Certainly that long ago, It was known
In Englnnd as the broom of the stom-
ach. In the year 1071 Dr. Salmon in
a medical l>ook said: "Spinach Is used
in satads—and helps Inflammation.” In
1732 Arbnthiwt In Rules of Diet In Ail-
ments, snfiT, “spinach Is an enlolllent.”
An emollient being, “a soothing appli-
cation to allay Irritation,” this state-
ment agrees with that of Dr. Salmon In
the previous century. Still later. In
1762, Wesley's Principles of l’hyalck
advises Its readers to “eat largely of
spinach.” In modern times, the repu-
tation of spinach Is even greater as a
health-giving food. Dieticians of to-
day unamlnously recommend the eat-
ing of spinach, not only because of Its
health-giving vitamins. Iron and other
minerals, but because It Is an Ideal
food In the preparation of a “balanced
ration.” Coming down to our Imme-
diate times, The Book of Rural Life
(1925 ), a compilation of two hundred
of the best authorities In the United
States, we find that, ’’’spinach Is the
most Important vegetable cultivated
for greeaa”, and Its health-giving prop-
erties are pointed ont In the statement,
•it Is valuable tor mineral, especially
iron, and for the vitamin* It contain*.”
It admonishes people to “sat more
spinach” by saying, “this vegetable
should be Included In the menu of every
family. It is rich in Iron which builds
Mood tissue, and contains vitamins
which are necessary to health aad
growth.”
Universal Cm ta Bangs
Spinach In of universal non among
the people of western Europe and has
been tor more than a century. This
much greater use than la found in the
United 8tat*a Is responsible tor two
factors, that we have not pet been able
to bring to oar aMa of the “pond ” la
tha prodnettoa ad asad the ae^deinea of
Bn legs have keen patnstakti
