over ESTIMATE
Between 47,000 and $4,000
Bales Will be Total for
Valley; Former Estimate
Placed Yield at 10000

The Valley cotton crop will run over
1900 bales. according to late returns
from The Valley gins. Three weeks ago
q conservative estimate placed the crop
total at i0,o00 bales. but late cotton is
turning out much better than anticI-
patcd. aud number OF gins over ran
their original estimate by several hun
dred bales. At MeAllea. Edinburg.
Pharr. Donna and Weslaco the produc-
ton was far greater than announced
in tho original compilation, and at sew
crai points the gins report they are still
kept busy and will have considerable
cotton TO gin from the top crop which
will soon be ready TO pick.
This is the greatest cotton crop ever
produced in the Valley. and had not the
juno floods destroyed considerable acre
sge on the first lift lands in Ilidalgo
county. the total for the Valley would
have been close 10 $1,000 bales, accord
ing to statements by gin men who have
made thorough survey Of the flooded
lands.
Several towns rrpor; that the ginning
facilities have not been fully adequate

duction this year. and announcement has
been made by ut least three ginning,
companies that their plants are to be-
euia rrcd. and modern machinery and
equipment of greater capacity will he in

and that they will be in position TO sup
ply the cotton growers with better
service. Several new gins are also
p!anncd in Hidaigo county.

high prices have combined 10 make this
the most prosperous cotton season ever

the Valley farmers in position to con

Several farmers who have resided in
the Valley since the inception of de-
veiopment work express the opinion that
thc heavy yield and good prices this year
will result in the planting Of much larger
acreage OF cotton next year. The Val
Icy could handle n greater acreage with

farmers should he careful not 10 place

BUS LINE EXTENSION
TO WALTER REED ASKED
Highlands Citizens Association
Declares It Would Be Con-
venience to Wounded Men.

The Sixteenth Street Highlands
Citizens Associa ton has asked the
Public Utilities Commission to extend
the 18th street bus line of the Wash
.iIfgton Rapid Transit Company from
Buchanan street to Walter Reed
Hospital.
The citizens make their plea upon
the double ground that such an eX-
tension would be of great benefit to
the residents of that developing sec
tion and to the crippled soldiers at
Walter Reed Hospital.
The letter sets forth that the men
at Walter Reed cannot always get
seats when they board the street
cars coming to the city. but that
they would find them in busses that
started from the 18th street side of
the hospital grounds.
The commission only a few weeks
ago turned down a similar applica-
.ion to extend this bus line out 18th
street to the District line.
