SECOND CROP
IS UNCERTAIN

“Prospects for a general top crop of
cotton over the Valley are pretty slim”
declared H. P. Boyd vide president of
the Valley Gin Co. with offices at San
Benito. •
“Rain during the early part of this
week was very spotted in the Valley
he continued “and the crop of weevils
and cotton leaf worms is more general
than the rain.
It will not be known fop two or three
weeks yet whether there will be a top
crop of any consequence but indications
now art that the crop will be very
light.”
Mr. Boyd said that even a heavy rain
now would not necessarily mean a large
top crop as conditions in many paVts
of the Valley are bad on aeount of the
presence of boll weevils and leaf worms.
However he indicated that a top crop
in some sections of the Valley is pos-
sible. and that the total yield may be
boosted some by rains that may fall in
the near future.
The total cotton crop without a top
crop is expected to be near 115000 bales
•Thd it was at first estimated that gen-
eral rains might bting a top crop of
from 1000 to 18000 bales although in-
dications are now that the best top
crop would be much lighter than this
maximum due to the weevils and leaf
worms.
Cotton in some sections of the Valley
has been blooming. Mr. Boyd said and
some second crops ate certain where
thesre have been heavy showers. How-
ever. the condition is not general enough
to assure a large increase in the yield.

_r INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM_
;i
Consistent Growth—
A Real Test of Supremacy
From a small mill operating on half-time to two modem mills
operating twenty-iour hours daily throughout the year—
From a yearly production of 800000 sacks to ono of 9000000
sacks annually—an increase of over one thousand
per cent—is a record of the growth of the Texas Portland
Cement Company.
This permanent steady growth—an infallible guide to su-
premacy—is a direct result of the silent tribute which dis-
criminating contractors and builders pay to Ti super-grade
product.
The famous International Wet-Blending Process used in the
mills of this company is regarded as the last word in produc-
tion efficiency. Under this system the chief chemist and mill
superintendent can always come within
l/lO of 1% of the quality at which they aim.
LONE.STAR Cement has a quality 50%
above that required by U. S. Standard Speci-
fications. Cejnent manufacture as these mills
are operated is an exact science.
Yet LONE STAR Cement costs no more.
We give it our unqualified endorsement.
