IRISH POTATOES nr* said to have
had their origin in South America
-in Brazil or maybe it was in one of
e other South American countries.
i ’omchow someway the potato be-
b associated with the Irish and
eby received its name.
owever that may be the potato is
y rreat factor in furthering the pre-
ction fame of the Lower Rio
unde Valley of Texas.
Two good potato stories have reach-
f The Herald in the last day or two
t top of some ones already told
bout some days ago.
/ * • *
/ Saturday Mr. Caldwell of El Jardin
called up The Herald to tell about a
potato production record made by W.
A. R?ntfro. formerly of Billings.
Okla. (where it snowed yesterday)
but for the past two years a grower
on the El Jardin tract near Commun-
ity House No. 2.
Mr. Rentfro had one acre on which
he yesterday completed the digging
He took out a total of 251 bushels
and 44 pounds from the single acre.
There are 60 pounds in a bushel of
potatoes.
All were commercial potatoes. The
little fellows were not counted.
At six cents a pound to the grower
*'the acre grossed $900. Mr. Rentfro
t preferred to consign however and cx-
) -ccts to receive 7 cents a pound or
‘ 1050 for the acre of potatoes.
The potatoes were planted in rows
-•30 inches apart. And there's a little
secret too. Two crops of cowpeas
have been turned under on the
ground. Makes it better for potatoes.
Mr. Rcntfro’s son. John who also
has a patch of potatoes is doing a
mere 200 bushels an acre.

Colonel F. J. Bretz came to the
Lower Rio Grande Valley the first of
August 1921. He located on El Jar-
din.
He has just harvested his firs' po-
tato crop and tells the following
story:
“On the tenth day of January I
planted 39 bushels of pink triumph
potatoes on two acres of ground. On
Thursday I finished digging my crop.
1 sold $12X3 worth of potatoes anu
still have ?0 sa^ks left which shouid
tun the total to approximately S1400
jfrom the two acres.”
Colonel Bret7 is an auctioneer by
profession and operates his 15-arre
farm as a side line. “Just to keep
interested in the soil" is the wav
£te puts the matter.

It’s really a little hard to regard
as a “high rrime” against the laws
of the United States the simple act
of putting 52 hampers of green snap
beans in an improvised boat and
shoving that boat across a somewhat
muddy river to a place where real
money can be had in exchange for
beans.

instead of good beans one's sympath-
ies might not have been so affected.
Green snap beans are not a com-
mercial product over on the south
side of the Rio Grande.
There is no demand for them. But
on this side just now they arc worth
something like $2 a hamper.
And for the payrent of a duty of
half a cent a pound or about 2d cents
n hamper the beans could legally
have been brought across the bridge
n-’tting them about $1.H0 a crate
minus a hearing in the federal court.
Judge Hutcheson will hear about
smuggled green snap beans for 'ho
first time when he opens federal
court here next month.

Yesterday morning it snowed con-
siderably up about Amarillo and ad-
jacent territory in the Texas Pan-
handle.
And at about the same time one
of the Sexton boys of Brownsville
WR’i scouting around in Fort Brown
looking for wild dewherics. And he
found them. We know because he
btought a waterglass full of them
into The Herald office.
Nine hundred miles or so in Texas

The bulletin said:
“No change for the better. Condi-
tion hopeless.’’
Those close to the aged scientist
feared the end might come within a

sinking since morning. A low pulse
after a restless night continued to
grow weaker throughout the day and
tonight.

Pleads for Democrats
to Follow Example
of Founder
fBy The Associated Press.)
NEW YORK. N. Y. April 10.—Ap-
pealing to the democratic party tf*
follow tho example of its founder.
Senator Caraway democrat Arkans-
as declared tonight at a Jefferson
day banquet here that it would find
response in the heart of America if
i it stripped itself of self-sh inter*' *ts
repented of its short comings and
confined its program only to thoso
things for the common welfare.
In a comparison of President Cool*
idge and Thomas Jefferson he as-
sailed the present occupant of tho
White House as being unsympathetic
to the needs of the common per*pl«
and favoring special interests.
“The democratic party and those
-ho love its tenets” he said “need
no more striking example to them
than the selfishness and the greed
the concentration of power the abuso
of power the selfish use of power
that finds its most perfect exera-
1 plification in the president of tho
United States the republican admin-
istration of today.”
The democratic party to regain tho
confidence of the people the Ar-
kansas senator asserted must dis-
place incompetent and unwise leader-
ship if it exists and lay down *
platform that seeks no special fa-
fors for rich or poor city or farm.
“It must know neither east nor
v.est. north nor south” he added.
“ No race or creed sholud be permit-
ted to hamper its progress. It muMt
return to its doctrine that that coun-
try is best governed which is least
governed."
