FORTIETH YEAR—No. 113 BROWNSVILLE TEXAS. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12 1931 EIGHT PAGES TODAY Be A COPY
IN OUR
VALLEY
FROM EDCOUCH comes a letter.
Most interesting.
Signed by C. W- Vandervort
Commenting on what he calls the
stressing of the “much stressed"
small sizes of grapefruit.
Because of failure to irrigate.
And differing a bit from the con-
clusions as the causes of these small
sizes—
As set out in the press of the
Valley.
Containing much valuable in-
formation the leter 1 be publish-
ed in full in Sund. Herald.
J Pert tens are mentioned—
As one fa.tor which will increase
the size.
We remember back yonder when
serious thought was first being given
to the quality of our citrus.
The late A ?rt Kalbfleisch con-
ducted some very interesting ex-
periments on the Kalbfleisch orchard
near Mercedes.
And found that size and color
were bettered by a judicious use of
the proper sort of fertilizers.
Mr. Vandervort covers the subject
in detail.
You will be interested in his con-
clusions.

ARMISTICE DAY HAS come and
gone.
Valley residents enjoyed the day.
In fact they enjoy all holidays.
Ceremonies were held observing
the occasion in practically every Val-
ley community.
Significance of the day seems to
become more impressed on our
people as the years roll along.
Solemn yet Joyous.

INTERESTED WERE WE in ob-
serving the crowd ' th' Scorpion-
Centenary clash yesterday.
From Mission to Brownsville—
Fans and fancttcs assembled.
To see an honest-to-goodness
game.
In spite of lowering skies.
And see it they did.
Two things we like about our
Scorpions—
They play a good game of foot-
ball.
And they play a clean game o:
football
A credit to themselves and to their
coaches.

CULL GRAPEFRUIT 18 hurting
the citrus market.
So says Hart T- Longino of the
state-federal inspection service.
Cull grapefruit is all right—
If sold as such.
No reason for not following t»ie
example set by manufacturers.
Notice your advertisements.
Plenty of tunes you will see ladies'
stockings for Instance-
Advertised as "seconds’*—
Admittedly slightly defective.
Sold at a price way below that
charged for first quality.
Nobody minds.
The ladies buy them—
Knowing what they are gett'ng.
Just as well follow the same sys-
tem in selling grapefruit.
Plenty of uses for the culls.
But sell 'em as culls—
Not as first quality fruit.
§|gFVERY YEAR THEY say it will
b* a "Bigger and Better Valley Mid
Winter Fair."
And every year “they" are right.
Tire fair has grown—
From the old days when the prin- !
cesses got stuck in the mud
Trying to get from Harlingen to;
their throne.
And when the exhibits were few—j
Perhaps not so good.
They are good now.
It's an education to visit the fair.
Finding out each year something
about the Valley you did not know
before.
Free gate this year Is expected to
Increase the attendance.
Which it will.
Remember the fair starts Satur-
day. Nov. 21.
Running for 10 days.
Make your plans—
To go.

GOOD NEWS FOR those who buy
Is not always good news to those1
who sell.
As growers of Valley products will
testify.
So the news that turkey prices
are down pleases some of us.
And is not no good for ’.has? sec-
tions of Texas which sell the piece
de resistance for the Thank* giving
meal.
But at that they estimate that a
cold half million dollars will be add-
ed to the wealth of the state be- j
tween now' and Thanksgiving—
From the sale of turkeys.
Raising of which is a major in-
dustry in and around Cuero-
Famed for the “Turkey Trot
And in certain sections of West
Texas.
THE WEATHER
For Brownsville and the Valley: !
Mostly cloudy ard unsettled to-
night and Friday probably with

District Proceeds On
Own Initiative
—
<By Staff Correspondent'
SAN BENITO. Nov. 12.-The Port
Isabel-San Benito Navigation dis-
trict has decided "finally to aban-
don" Dhe hope that the Brownsville
Navigation district will put up the :
$200000 required to build that part
of the inner channel nearest Brazos i
Santiago pass. Judge James Q

trict announced in a statement
made public here.
The district will proceed on its
own initiative toward the carrying
out of the Port Isabel port project j
What steps will be taken however j
are not set out in the statement of
Judge Louthan.
He said in the statement that the
Port Isabel-San Benito Navigation
district has for some time been
ready to meet its requirements for
the construction of a Valley port
but has “patiently awaited the j
Brownsville contribution in the hope i
I that this $200000 might be saved
j for construction of extensive port
| facilities at Port Isabel a hope that
by now it seems wise finally to
abandon."
The statement was prepared ac- '>
cording to officials of the district
in an endeavor to acquaint the peo- i
pie of the Valley with the present
status of the harbor projects.
Reasons for the necessity of a
deep water port in the Valley and
steps taken to secure the federal an- j
propriations which have been made

Port Isabel projects are outlined in
the statement.

RI'SSIAN ARMS
REPORTED ARRIVED
TOKYO. Nov. 11-4V- Reports
that 15 carloads of Russian arms
and ammunition have arrived at
Anganchi. Manchuria for the Chi-
nese General Mali Chan-Shan and
that a new Chmese attack from
Chinchow in the direction of Muk-
den is threatening reached Tokyo
today as the government planned
to dispatch a large fresh body of
troops Saturday.
A report also was received from
Geneva saying the League of Na-
tions miRht propose an interna-
tional police patrol in Manchuria
to permit Japanese evacuation but
this was not taken seriously by
authorities here.
The report on the alleged ship-
ment of Russian arms came from
the war office intelligence depart-
ment which said it had “fairly
reliable evidence” from vnrious
sources that the shipment arrived
over the Chinese Eastern Railway.
Red Army Rumored
The intelligence bureau also said
it had further information that
2000 troops of an "international
communist army” consisting of
Russians Koreans and Chinese had
arrived at Tsltsihar. just north of
Gen. Mah s position at Anganchi.
"The Russians apparently arc
planning something" the war of-
fice said. It added that the arms
and ammunition arrived at An-
ganchi between November 6 and
12.
Meanwhile newspaper r?ports
from Mukden said 50 Chinese were !
killed and 300 wounded in a three-1
hour battle last night near Kung-
chuling some distance to the north
of Mukden and that among them
w;;i a Chinese woman in uniform
who died later in a hospital.
The new Chinese attack expect-
ed in the direction of Mukden is
looked for simultaneously with a
renewed drive of the army of Gen-
eral Mah Chan-Shan in the Nonni
bridge area. General Mahs army
is said here to number 30.000 men
16.000 in China
No definite statement of the j
exact strength of the new force of 1
Japanese troops which is to be sent |
from Hirosaki Saturday was given I
but it was understood that more
than a brigade would go and would
bring the total number of Japanese
troops in Manchuria to 16000.
The government vas making
elaborate preparations today for an
unusually strong presentation of its
case before the league council at
Paris Monday. Three am bass; Jors

ing.
Charles G. Dawes American am-
bassador at London who has been
instructed by the United States
government to go to Paris for the
meeting is regarded here as friend-
ly to Japan.
LEAGUE PLEADS FOR
PEACE EFFORTS
GENEVA Nov. 12—Chair-
man Aristide Briand of the League
of Nations council today called on
China and Japan to make every
effort to prevent further military
action in Manchuria and to give
neutral observers sent to the ter-
ritory by the council even- facility
for learning the truth of the situa-
tion.
This the chairman said in a
note published here today is “ex-
tremely important.- particularly in
the vicinity of the Nonni bridge
and Anganchi.
U. S. Inte* -sted
Hr called attention to the en-
gagements of the two countries
under the council’s resolution of
Sept. 30 and said I also urge that
the commanders of opposing forces
receive strictest orders to refrain
from initiating any fresh action."
Indications of a strong interest
by the United States in the league’s
efforts to bring about peace in
Manchuria had succeeded today in
dispelling much of the gloom In
which league quarters have been
submerged for several days.

Report
—
Willacy county rill supplant Webb
county as the big early producing
onion county of the state during the
1932 deal if plantings are carried
out as intended a report from the
state and federal departments of
agriculture in Austin snows.
Another feature of the 1932 deal
as shown in the report is the phe-
nominai jump in acreage in the cor-
pus Christi area fr« n 4800 last seas-
on to 9600 this season exactly one
hundred per cent increase.
Copy of the report has been re-
ceived at the state and federal mar-
ket news bureau in the chamber of
commerce building here.
It shows the Webb county acreage
during the coming season at 1560.
as against 2600 last season and 2075
the previous season.
Willacy county on the other hand
sho**s approximately twice the acre-
age of Webb for the coming season
the estimated total being set at 3 -
000 acres as against 2900 last seas-
on and 2200 the season before that
The rise of the Corpus Christi j
area in the r»aion world has been
phenomenal. That section which in-
clude* Nueces. San Patricio. Jim
Well* and Kleberg counties had 525
acres in 1930 Jumped to 4800 acres
in ^ie 1931 season and will have
960lw acres in the coming season
The bulk of these onions are
grown around the Odom. Robs town
and Bishop section.
Willacy county has consistently
reached the market first the past
few seasons starting shipping short-
ly after the middle of March. Webb
county comes In about the first of
April and the Corpus Christi area
follows the latter part of April or in i
May.
Although lack of rain has handl- !
capped onion growers In Willacy
county so far thi* season many of
them are planting the seed without
irrigation and getting the crops
started.
The reports show the total acre-
age for the state estimated at 21.- 1
340. as against 17.200 for last season. I
