DEAD IN DITCH
NEAR DREDGING MACHINE
U. Flores, Mexican Laborer, Acct
dentally Killed as Ponderous Ma
chine Was Revolved.

| U. Flores, a laborer who was EN-
ployed on the dredging machiner.
which is constructing the drainage
system for Cameron County Drain
age District No. /, was accidentally
killed Wednesday night by being
struck on the head by part of tht
machinery No one witnessed the
accident
1t was shortly before midnight
when some of Flores fellow work
men found his lifeless body lying in
a ditch three feet to the right of the
dredge. He had cash three inches
| long on the back of his neck just
at the base Of the head. The acci-
dent occurred in the vicinity of the
Ohio e Texas sugar mill, where the
dredge is now working.
The discovery of the dead man
caused much excitement at first, as
appeared to be a mystery how he
could have been killed there within
such a short distance of other labor
ers. and no one know of 1t.
Justice of the Peace Gavito and
Deputy Sheriff p. d. Haley were sum-
monod from town at 3:15 O'Clock,
and an inquest was held. The inves-
tigation appeared beyond doubt to
establish the fact that death was due
to blow on the head by part of
the ponderous machinery as it was
being revolved. The unfortunate
man apparently had crawled under
the machine to rest. None of the
workmen remembered having seen
him for some time before the body
was found.
1t is supposed he probably was
rising. when he was struck. Death
must have been instantaneous. One
of the electric incandescents on the
dredge was broken off by the force
of the blow, and the blood found on
the machine at that point yesterday
showed that it was by this means
that Flores was killed
Nothing is known of the dead mans
home He had only been employed
on the dredge for about ten or twelve
days He was about 81 years old and
of medium height On the calf of
his left leg there was the scar of an
old bullet wound
Mr.. Gavito ordered the body taken
to he La Palma ranch for interment,
which was done yesterday morning.

INSECT PESTS OF
SOUTHERN BORDER
PROBLEMS FOR DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE
Mr.. vickery Tells What Department
is Doing to Stop Propagation Of
Insects that Injure Cereal and
Forage Crops in the Valley.

What the government proposes 10
do 10 prevent the propagation OF the
semi-tropical insects OF the Rio
Grande region was the subject OF a
very interesting talk by representa-
tive OF. the Herald with II. "A.
vickery yesterday.
Mr.. Vickery is an expert entomolo-
gist of the government agricultural
department. He Is pursuing inves-
tigationes in that line at the South
Texas Gardens.
Among other interesting things he
said:
"The most important line OF work
on the insects infesting forage crops
in South Texas. is the study OF the
semi-tropical insects which are found
in the United States only along the
Mexican border This was one OF the
reasons for starting the laboratory
for the study of forage crop insects
at the South Texas Gardens.
1T il probable that these insects
have been working on such forage
crops as corn and sorghum In the
Lower Rio Grande Valley for great
many years. But as the country
then was covered with brush for
about $50 miles northward. they
were unable to migrate further
north. Now, however. corn sorghum.
and other cultivated crops are found
all along the railroad between
Brownsville and Corpus Christi. so
that there is nothing to prevent
these insects from migrating north
ward IL they can gradually adapt
themselves to a colder climate.
These semi-tropical insects are
being studied at the chronological
laboratory to determine which Of
them is most likely to spread north
ward. and to find means OF prevent
ing this If possible. About so diff
ferent insects infestlng alfalfa. BAR
rey corn. millet and sorghum have
been studied The-smore Important
of these are to be studied thoroughlys
lone Of the interesting problems
being studied is that OF the barley
insects. Barley makes good winter
pasture and would be valuable
grain crop for South Texas II IL
could be made to produce grain. IL
is prevented from making grain and
is injured as forage crop by two in
Sects, the Corn Leaf Aphis." (Aphis
maidis), and the Semi-tropical Corn
Root Worm" (Diabrotica balteata)
Experiments are bing carried on
to determine the proper time 10 SOW
barley to avoid injury by these in
sects. As the beetle which lays the
eggs from which the root worm
matches, does not lay eggs for about
six or eight weeks during the winter.
il is possible that the experiments
may prove successful.
1.-The corn leaf aphis infests corn.
sorghum and barley. wherever these
crops are grown in the United States.
but it is most injurious In the South
western states. II causes the leaves
of barley to turn yellow.
"A new lady bug has been brought
to South Texas in hopes that II will
