(Government Representative Explains
the Use of Calcium Arsenate and
Methods of Application
The regular weekly meeting of the
Mercedes Farmers on Tuesday of
this week was rather poorly attended

Jte of the attendance a very infer-
meeting was held.
P. Hinton of the Delta Labora-
tories at Tallulah, La., was present
knd spoke -concerning the control of
phe bold ' weevil. The gist of Mr.
Jiton’s remarks was to the effect
Jft the weevil could not be erad-
Ited, but- could be controlled. For
Is purpose, calcium arsenate is the
|y poison recommended. This will
Ifound very effective when it comes
i to specifications, and will keep
finitely in a dry place.
\s poison should be applied at
|te of 5 to 7 pounds to an acre,

REPORT OF SCHOOL
AUDIT RELEASED
The report of the audit of the Mer-
cedes Independent School District has
been released by Ward, Brooking and
Crawford of Houston, employed by
the School Board to make the audit.
The audit shows the condition of the
District as of June 11, 1921.
The assets _ of the District are
shown as $24,464.74- and liabilities as
$5,071.92, the total assets over liabili-
ties being $19,392.82. The principal
assets are: Cash on hand. $3445.43;
Due from State of Texas, $1420.00;
War Savings Stamps and Accrued In-
terest, $543.60; Prepaid Insurance,
$963.69; Due from State on $3000.00
Bonds, $2700.00; Due for Delinquent
Taxes 1917-1920, $15,212.02.
In addition to this sum, there is
also due the District in delinquent
taxes $3,849.12 from the six years
preceeding, which isum is not in-
cluded in the report.
The liabilities are: Due Hidalgo
County Bank, (warrants carried)
$3084.87; Due E. H. Sheldon and Co.
$1587.05; Due O. J. Cresswell $400.00.
The District' has 5% bonds out-
standing to the sum of $107,000.
The taxes assessed against the
properties embraced in the District
have totaled $62,636.20 for the past
four years. Of this sum $49,482.76
has been collected, leaving the bal-
ance due as stated above.
The District received in the year
1920-1921- $75,176.52, and disbursed
$92,606.28. The amount of disburse-
ments over receipts is due to the fact
that while the major portion of the
bonds for the erection of the new
high school building were sold the
previous year, most of the payments
on the building were made the year
just passed.
Some of the more important dis-
bursements the past year were:
Teachers’ salaries, $24,542.58; Insur-
ance, $1058.15; Repairs and improve-
ments, $2,163.96; Equipment and sup-
ples, $1904.15; Interest on bonds,
$4775.63; Land purchased for school
sites, $1050; High School building,
$53,896.
During the four year period cover-
ed by the audit the School District
has received a sum total of $190,507.48
and of that sum had on hand June
11, $3445.43.
The total cost of the new High
School building is shown at $91,746.-
92. Of this amount $1987.05 remains
unpaid, being the amounts shown
among the liabilities as due to E.
H. Sheldon and Company and O. J.
Cresswell.
The report states that the system
of accounting as used is very effi-
cient- but recommends that a War-
rant Register, showing disbursements
in detail, be kept.
The auditors also recommend the
keeping of a cash book by the Tax
Collector, showing in detail all taxes
collected, as well as penalties and
advertisement, and suggests that in
Making up the 1921 Tax Rolls every
effort be used to ascertain the own-
ership of the property listed on the
delinquent rolls as unknown.

GROCERY CHANGES HANDS
The Garrison Cash Grocery changes
hands the first of July, Mr. Garrison
having sold the grocery end of the
business to R. H. Kern, H. W. and
L. T. Freeman, who will operate in
the same location under the firm
name of the Kern-Freeman Grocery
Company. The new owners are men
of wide experience in the grocery bus-
iness, Mr. Kern having formerly
been in that line in Mercedes and
L. T. Freeman being employed by Mi-
Garrison for some time.
Mr. Garrison will in the future
devote his entire time to the bakery
which has been in process of con
struction for some weeks. The
baking establishment now in the gro-
cery store is being moved this week
into the new quarters in the rear
of the temporary First National Bank
building, and will occupy the entire
space as soon as the bank moves into
its new building. When completed
Mr. Garrison will have one of the
most complete baking establishment,1
in the whole Lower Valley.
The First National’Bank expects t
occupy • their attractive buildinr
ardund the first week in July. Worl
on the building is completed- and the
fixtures are being installed as rap
idly as possible. The eleven office
rooms in the upper story are practic
ally all rented at the present time.
Local authorities are watching6 with
interest' the movement started this
week in San Benito looking towards
ithe enforcement of the Sunday Clos-
ing Laws of the State of Texas. Hi-
dalgo County has a peculiar interest
in this movement due to the inability
of the officials of this county to se-
cure convictions in similar cases at
the last term of the County Court.
The" campaign started Monday in
Cameron County with the swearing
out of a warrant against the pro-
prietor of the Pastime Theatre in
San Benito- the complainant alleging
that he purchased a ticket and wit-
nessed a moving picture performance
on Sunday at this theatre.
The case will be heard in the city
court of San Benito before City Judge
John Prentiss. The San Benito Light
understands that the proprietor will
allege that the law under which the
complaint is filed is antiquidated and
does not apply to moving picture ex-
hibitions.
Similar complaints filed some time
ago against a former proprieor of the
Pastime Theatre resulted in his dis-
charge after many trials.
The present complaint is supposed
to be the first step towards forcing-
all places of business to close on Sun-
day, and is understood to be foster-
ed by San Benito clergymen and sev-
eral of the church societies.
WESLACu lit IS
THE COUNTY FAIR
At the meeting of the County Fair
committee held this week at San
Juan, the generous offer of the city
of Weslaco was accepted on behalf
of the Hidalgo County Fair Associ-
ation, and the county fair will be
located in that city. Weslaco agrees
to furnish without cost to the Asso-
ciation twenty acres of land suitable
for the desired purpose, in addition
to free electric lights and water. In
the face of this offer, all other cities
withdrew, and Weslaco became the
unanimous chonce. The first annual
Hidalgo County Fair will be held the
first week in January, 1922.

RIO GRANDE RAILWAY
TO LET CONTRACTS
Announcement has been made by
the President of the Rio Grande Rail-
way, Dave O’Brien, that contracts wil]
be let immediately for the construc-
tion of 17.2 miles of grade for the new
Rio Grande Railway. According tc
!he Brownsville Herald only nine
miles of the present right of way is
to be used, the other thirteen miles
to be eveirtiiaily abandoned. The new
rente will be approximately four
miles longer than the old, but w'
follow higher ground and will require
fewer bridges.
Materials will be assembled ar
needed, and Mr. O’Brien is quoted ar
'being highly pleased with the prices
obtained. ■**•
At the meeting of the City Council
Monday night (the bid of E. A. Herring
for the removal of dirt on Ohio ave-
nue was accepted. By agreement with
the School Board, the Board will pay
for the removal of as much of this
dirst -as is needed to complete the
necessary fills on the grounds of the
new high school. This will enable
the school authorities to proceed with
the beautification of the grounds dur-
ing the Summer months while school
is not in session, tl is expected that
Ohio avenue will immediately be
graded and arrangements made for
the laying of cement sidewalks from
the center of the city to the school
house, which Agill furnish a much
needed improvement. -
An important step for the safe-
guarding of public interest was taken
by the council in the instructing e
the city attorney to draw up an or-
dinance limiting the speed of all rail-
road trains while within the city
limits to six miles an hour. The re-
cent accidents of the past two months
have rendered such action by the au-
thorities imperative.
New Stores Enter La Feria.

MISSIjn DEIS FIRST
BALE OF COTTCN
The first bale of cotton to be baled
in Hidalgo County, so far as is known
was baLed at Mission last Friday
njiorning, and brought a premium of
$50, $25 of which was given by thf
Mission Business Men’s League, and
$25 by the Valley Gin Company, which
concern also baled the cotton free of
charge. The cotton graded strict
middling, shoi’t staple, and was
bought by the Valley Gin Company
for 10 cents a pound.
Reports from all parts of the Val-
ley show that the cotton is opening
rapidly, and 'ginning is expected to
be well under way by the first of the
month. Late cotton is showing r
larger percentage of boll weevil dam-
age, although comparatively little has
been noted in ithe vicinity of Mer
cedes.
Steadman Sells to Meek.
Another business change is noted
in the sale by W. F. Siteadman of his
jewelry store to C. Meek, formerly
of Lubbock, Texas, who took charge
on Saturday of last week. Mr. Meek
is a jeweler and optician of fifte^p
years experience, and will be in

FIRST Y.M.G.A GAMP
PROVES SUGGESS
The first Y. M. C. A. Camp of the
season under the supervision of
County Secretary Switzer, started on
Tuesday of this week with an attend-
ance of 30 boys. This number is in-
creasing daily, and it is expected that
more than 40 boys will have eventu-
ally availed themselves of the good
times offered before the end of the
week.
Monday of next week will be ob-
served at the camp as Mercedes Day
and a special program has been ar-
ranged- for the benefit of visitors
from this community. #A Water Car-
nival will be the feature of the af-
ternoon- including swimming and
diving stunts. Father Neptune ac-
companied by his coterie of mermen
will be an added attraction. Fol-
lowing the water sports, a picnic
lunch will be enjoyed.
The camp closes Monday evening,
and immediately following will be-
gin the camp for the younger boys.
It is hoped that numbers of fathers
will take advantage of the opportu-
nities offered in this camp and ac-
company their sons on a few days’
outing. While intended primarily
for the younger boys some of ,the
older boys unable to attend the first
camp will be accommodated, provid-
ing their application has been ap-
proved either by Rev. Robert Grib-
ble or H. T. Tidmore of this city.

SANITARY OFFICER
MAKES EXPERIMENTS
Dr. J. S. Spikes, the city sanitary
inspector of Brownsville, has con-
ducted . some interesting experiments
as to the value of oil and minnows
as mosquito eradieators, according to
the Brownsville Herald. The re-
sult of those experiments • are of
wide interest.
In the first test minnows were
placed in a jar of wigglers, which are
mosquitoes in the early stages. Over-
night eight mosquitoes developed and
the wigglers were still in the jar.
When a small amount of oil was
placed oil the water, half of the wig-
glers died within twenty-five minutes,
and within forty-five minutes all of
the wigglers were floating on top of
the water, dead.
The conclusion drawn by Dr. Spikes
is that minnoAvs do not eat ithe wig-
glers, and that oil presents the most
practical manner of ridding the cit}
of mosquitoes. This does not mea-
hoAvever, that the use of minnows is
ineffective, for the fountain in the
Brownsville market place has been
kept free from mosquitoes since min-
nows have been placed therein. Dr
Spikes thinks (that the minnows eat
the eggs of the mosquitoe and are
therefore good as a preventative. A
use of both oil and minnows would
most effectively rid any community
of the mosquito pesjt.
EXCHANGEPLANS FOR
COTTON MARKETING
Arrangements Made to Handle Broom
Corn Direct to^ Warehouses.
The central office of the Rio Grande
Growers Exchange at Harlingen is
making plans for the handling of itlfis
year's cotton crop, the movement of
which is expected to be well under
way within the next thirty days. A
manager will be appointed by ,the
central office to receive cotton from
the members of each local in the Val-
ley. This cotton will be stored in
the local yard, and ^samples will bf
drawn every other day by represent-
atives of 0”Hea Brothers.
Arrangements have been completed
by the Exchange whereby the broom
corn of its members will be market
ed direct, eliminating the buyers of
the brokerage houses. H. G. Gard
ner, a broom corn buyer of Mercedes
has been added ito the force of the
Exchange, and will have charge of
the marketing of this product.
SERIES OF LIVESTOCK
MEETINGS TO RE HELD
In the interest of the livestock in-
terests . of the counity, a series of
meetings has been arranged coverin'*
June 30, July 1 and 2- in various
cities of Hidalgo County. These
meetings will be . addressed by Prof.
Templeton of the Department of Hus-
bandry of A. and M. College, and by
George A. Smith, district agent oi
the Extension Service. Local meet-
ings will he held in Weslaco at
a. ml, Saturday July 2, and ■ in Mer-
cedes at 3:30 p. m. on the same date,
probably in the school auditorium.
The livestock industry will be fully
discussed in all its prases by these
gentlemen, an da full attendance is
Anticipated of all concerned.
Pleading for the co-operation of the
Farmers’ organization and of the bus-
iness men of the city of Mercedes
C. H. Pease, secretary of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley Water Users' As-
sociation,- melt Avith a group of farm-
ers and business and professional men.
of the city at the city hall Tuesday
morning. According to Mr. Pease the
time hag come when the concerted,
action of the Valley communities is
necessary to protect the rights al-
ready acquired in the Valley.
The Valley can not meet its prob-
lems alone and unaided. The re-
sources of the federal government are
to.he had for the asking, but the ask-
ing must he in such a form that
through ijt the unanimous voice of
the Valley may be recognized. For
this reason the Water Users’ Associ-
ation has been organized, and it is
endeavoring to work through the va-
rious agencies already established to
the end (that the United States Re-
clamation Service may further inter-
est itself in the Valley and formulate
a reclamation project for this sec-
tion.
Chief of the difficulties confronting:
the Valley are those concerned with
our rights and those of the Republic
of Mexico to the waters of ithe Rio
Grande. Mr. Pease thinks that the
present time, when Mexico is so de-'
sirous of recognition from the United
States, is very favorable for treaty
action with that country, in order
that the rights of all concerned may
he defined and settled.
By uniting all communities in the*
Water Users’ Association and placing:
our problems in the hands of the-
United States Reclamation Service.,
we will have secured the best possi-
ble agency to handle the interests of
the Valley. With present wafer
rights as between the Valley and
Mexico, not to mention other project?
in Texas which will use some of the
water tributary to the Rio Grande
undefined, we stand a chance of los-
ing even that Avater supply which wey
how possess.
The history of other irrigated sec-
tions shows that all, sooner or later,
are forced to seek aid of the Reclam-
ation Service. One by one the small
independent systems on the El Paso
project have become included in the
gOA'ernment project. The Imperial
Valley of California has problems;
even more sserious than those con-
fronting this section, and they have
sought the aid of the Service.
According to Mr. Pease, there ha
been no increase in land under actu-
al irrigation in the Valley for the past
three years, in spite of the new
lands which have been thrown on the'
market. Out of the 429,000 acres now
under water , contracts, 170,000 ar®
actually using water.
The water supply is liable to de-
crease at any time, as projects, in
Mexico on the San Juan and Salad©.
Rivers as proposed are put under.
Avay.
The United States Reclamation?
Service has the reputation of being
ultra conservative, and the project as
outlined by them will have due re-
gard for the water supply to the
the land in consideration. Commu-
nities with prior water rights will”
have the first consideration, and as
there is water beyond their needs,
other lands will be included.
The sentiment of the gathering*,
was unanimous in ,the idea that ini
gravity irrigation lay the salvation*
of the entire Valley, and that the best:
method to secure action was through-
the Reclamation Service by medium
of the Water Users’ Association.
UPPER VALLEY HAS
OIL EXCITEMENT
Reports current in (the Valley the*
first of the week that oil had been;
struck in paying quantities near Mis-
sion caused considerable excitement.
Telephonic communication with Mis-
sion established the fact that the
Dayle L. Smith Company were en-
deavoring to bring in their Vela No-
3 well. The pump was installed Wed-
nesday morning and brought out a
mixture of oil and water. Oil men
are holding out the possibility than
the oil in paying quantities may still
be encountered, pointing out the fact
that the well Avas drilled to the pres-
ent point last February, and that con-
tinued pumping might exhaust then
water and bring out paying quanti-
ties of oil.
35 miles in length.
In this connection it is stated that
here is a strong possibility of Route
No. 1 receiving daily delivery after
next month.
