THE LIMITED LATE FALL PO-
'* tato deal is moving out of the
Brownsville-San Benito area which
apeciallaes in potatoes fall and
early spring because of peculiar
soil conditions.
And planting is underway for the
#P r.R potato deal which begins its
harvest along about the middle of
April
Last year the fall deal ran around
100 cars. This year it will be less
owing to adverse weather conditions
hi the September planting period.
For the spring deal it had been
believed the plantings would be
aharply curtailed because of high
aeed prices.
Now It seems that the plantings
will be around the same as last
spring when some 1500 carloads
were harvested.

Vr/HICH CALLS TO MIND THE
w return to the Valley this year
qf Ben Weil of Alexandria. La.
who years ago Initiated the potato
deal in the Valley beginning near
Mercedes.
Mr. Weil has returned to his
Valley operations after an aosence
of several years.
He comes back with idea*.
One of them is particularly in-
teresting and might prove valuable
If It should work as expected.
He asks:
"Why not put down smoke screens
over crops when menaced by
frost?"
• • •
AIRPLANES WOULD BE USED
** for the purpose. Just as they
use them for dusting cotton; just
as airplanes throw smoke screens
about battle fleets which most of
us have seen in the news reels at
the movies.
The frost menace here in the
Valley usually occurs in the hour
so just before and after day-
break
For frost the atmosphere must
be calm and the sky must be
practlclly cloudless.
Mr Weil reasons that a cloud in
the form of a pall of smoke drift-
ing slowly over a field and fairly
close to earth will protect and save
the crop just as natural clouds do.
The smoke used in the navy is
created from petroleum to which
has been added certain chemicals
The materials are probably not any
more expensive than calcium arsen- j
ate. %
The cost of the service must be
determined

the South but is confined almost
entirely to large fields.
Whether Valley crops are so laid i
out as to lend themselves to such
a service as smoke screening is
another question that would have
to be determined by those interest-
ed.
* Protection of crops by mechanical
contrivances is not a new thing
here in the Valley.
Fred Rusteberg. veteran farmer
near Brownsville for several years
has been using airplane propellers
to stir up the atmosphere over his

"man hours" at least were
wasted here because of the mis-

automobiles collided.
One man's machine was dam-
aged to the extent of $65. the
other’s $25. Each tried to bring
the matter to a close without the
necessity of going to court. Fail-
ing to reach an agreement they
decided to tell it to the judge.
After City Judge Frank W.
Roberts and others in the court-
room spent some time waiting
for the case to come up. then
hearing the story of each person
and listening to the testimony of
two officers the Judge made his
decision that each*pay his own
losses.

TACOMA. Wash. Jan 5. (JP) —
Sources close to the family of kid-
naped Charles Mattson intimated
strongly Tuesday that definite
progress was being made toward
winning the ten-year-old boys
release
They hinted Dr. and Mrs. W. W
Mattson the boy's parents were
expecting an important develop-
ment soon but whether it was pay-
ment of the $28000 demanded ran-
som or the childs release was not
disclosed.
In guarded words official sources
gave this same impression. These
officials a few days ago expressed
grave fears for Charles' safety.
The prevailing opinion was that
a satisfactory contact had been
made with the abductor who broke
into the Mattson home Sunday.
December 27. and carried the boy
away from the room where he was
talking with his brother and sister
and her girl chum.
Dr. Mattson was known to be
definitely relieved by the quick
response to his plea that the law

the case until his son's safety
was assured.

Bones of Three Defenders
Of Alamo Thought Unearthed
SAN ANTONIO. Jan. 5. <.*V-
Crumbling bones of what was be-
lieved to be three martyrs who
fell in defense of Texas liberty
during the siege of the Alamo a
hundred years ago were unearth-
ed Tuesday morning by laborers
doing rehabilitation work in the
rear part of the historic chapel.
So historically significant was
the discovery that a meeting of
the Alamo committee of the
Daughters of the Republic of Texas
was immediately called for noon to
decide what disposition would be
made of the remains.
The relics consisting of a hip
Joint several arms and leg bones
and parts of three skulls were dis-
covered after a stake being driven
into the ground in the chapel
where workmen were laying a
flagstone floor suddenly sank as if
into a cavity.
Digging the workmen found what
apparently had been a grave. The
bones were taken by Miss Ruth
Small daughter of Mrs. Delta
Small custodian of the shrina.
Mrs. Small s conclusion that the
bones are those of heroes of the
siege of the Alamo in 1836 is bas-
ed on the fact that not all of the
bodies of the fallen Texans were
burned after the battle. Appar-
ently. she concluded some were
found later buried beneath the
debris in the chapel and interred
on the spot.
Mrs. Small declared she was cer-
tain the bone* were not those of
the monks and other members of
the clergy attached to the mission.
The bodies of clerics were buried
in a side room in the front part
of the Alamo and these were dis-
interred and reburied in San Fer-
nando Cathedral after the Alamo
site was purchased by the state of
Texas.
Another theory was that the
bones were those of Texans who
fell early In the siege and who
were hurriedly buried bv their
companions while the battle still
was raging The grave was the
shallow sort which would have
been dug under such conditions.
