optimism to probable developments
during the next few years.
"The outstanding feature of the
June Government report is that
acreage of all wheat, oats, and rye
is 2.2 per cent less than year ago,
but the estimated yield is III per
cent greater. This means that the
growing conditions are comparitiv-
ely favorable. I have yet to wit
ness a year where crop scares and
marked price fluctuations did not
materialize. Weather and insect
ravages cannot be forecast, but as
conditions now stand, the total
grain output should about equal
normal proportions. The winter
wheat crop is now being harvested
and the yield estimated at "a per
cent over 1921.
Spring wheat are placed at 1873
per cent more than year ago, with
the total considerably in excess of
the ten-year' average. Nevertheless
wheat is statistically strong. Our
exportable surplus for the current
year was placed at 255, 100000 bus
hels. Actual exports for the seas
on approached 265,OO0,OOO bushels
The relatively large crop is entirely
offset by the limited carry-over.
Australian and Argentine stocks are
also limited. True, the price level
of wheat is high compared with
corn and oats. Wheat, however, is
the natural leader, and would
make point clear; namely,
that until Russia is again in a posi-
tion to feed great portion of Eur
ope, the price of wheat in this coun-
try will remain high.
'"The number Of acres devoted to
oats is 6.7 per cent under year |
ago. Still the prospective output |
ls 23 per cent more. The estimat-
ed yield of 100000 bushels
about equals the ten-year average.
b
fundamentally too low. Consider
ing the limited crop of year ago
and heavy consumption on the
farms, the carry-over promises to
rule far under normal proportions.
This phase is not discounted by the
present price level. I anticipate
higher average price level for oats
iuring the 1929 season. The
'ye crop shows the most radical de
of all. Acreage is 1873
,er cent over last year, while the
prospective yield shows an increase
II 40 per cent. With the exception
II 1913, this is the largest figure
IN record. There is no fundamen-
al reason why rye should not fol-
ow the general trend Of agricul-
ural products.
with the advent of the new
rop a marked price elevation is
lot logical. Still no serious price
ecline should eventuate this fall,
nd the 1929 seasonal rise
hould be more pronounced than in
he season about to close. The
'abson Agricultural Index Of ten
sading products is now quoted at
48, which shows a 28-point rise
yer the low during the fall of
921. The elevation in agricultur-
l products has already increased
he spending power of the farmer.
. should be remembered that 1922
costs-labor, fertilizer
nd ransportation-are ranging on
more popular basis compared
18th recent years. Therefore, with
pod crops and a higher average
rice over the next year, the farm

CAMPAIGN ON BOIL
WEEVIL CREATING
MUCH ENTHUSIASM

The boil weevil will not be permit
ted to thrive in the Valley this win
ter, is the verdict rendered by the
progressive farmers Of Cameron. Hi
dalgo and Willacy counties, all Of
whom have joined in the campaign
to exterminate the hibernating plac-
es of the weevils and to plow under
the cotton stalks which nrovide the
weevil with late fall feed.
No campaign ever inaugurated in
the Valley has met with such gen
erous response as the FIGHT now be-
ing waged against the boil weevil,
the farmers state. and the interest
taken denotes that every commun-
ity in the Valley will put on a
cleanup" campaign which will ma
terially reduce the number of weev-
lis in 1923.
The interest taken by the school
children, especially in the rural dis
tricts has been very satisfactory to
the promoters Of the campaign. Con-
siderable time will be devoted in the
schools To discussions on bool weevil
control, and these discussions will
be followed by an essay contest in
which several hundred school chill
dren will compete.

PEDDY'S NAME
NOT TO GO ON

Attorney General Holds Par
ticipation in Democratic
Primary lllegalizes Repub-
lican Nomination
tBy The Associated Pres,l

AUSTIN. Texas, Sept. 29.-Certi-
fication Of George ". r. Peddy Of
Houston a Republican candidate for
United States senator will be reject
ed, Secretary of State s. L. Staples
announced Thursday, following re-
ceipt of an opinion from the attor-
ncy general which holds that Ped
dy's nomination was not in COM
pliance with the state senatorial
election laws.
Peddy's nomination was illegal.
the opinion holds. because under the
state senatorial law the publican
party is required to nom te sena-'.
torial candidates by ge prim-
airy election. Ii further kdeslares
Pcddy is not legally entitled to
place as Republican candidate on the
official ballot If he voted in either
or both Democratic primary cleo
tions. Secretary Of State Staples
said he had been reliably informed
Peddy participated in these cleo
tions. The opinion holds, however.
that the Republican state convention
held in Fort Worth on August and
dates for state offices and was legal
on grounds that the Republican cam
didate for governor at the last gen.
eraI election did not receive 100000
votes, and the election law governing
conventions of parties casting over
100000 votes therefore does not APP
ply. Secretary Staples stated last
night that the Republican candidat-
6, with the exception Of Peddy. will
be certified as result Of the ruling.
Staples expressed no opinion that
the attorney generals ruling covers
the question involved in the protest
If Republican Chairman-R. b. Creag-
er against certifying Earle B. May
field as Democratic candidate and
that he probably will certify May
fields name without a further ruling.
Holding primary elections are re-
qnired under the state senatorial
act, the opinion declares:
I'VE have but TO read the law ac-
cording to its plain provisions and
give to the words used their ordin-
AIRY and commonly understood signi-
fication to arrive at the conclusion
that according to the statutory laws
Of this state the Republican party
can lawfully nominate candidate
for United States senator only at
general primary election.
THE language Of this statutes ~
mandatory. 1t Is clearly mandatory
in its terms as the general primary
election law which governs the hold
ing Of Democratic primaries.
Under the ruling Of the Texas
supreme court in the case OF West
erman W. Minis the opinion hold that
Peddy, if he voted in the Democratic
primaries. is morally bound to sup
port the Democratic nominee, and
that he can not come into court
and ask for writ Of mandamus TO
compel the secretary Of state in vio-
lating this moral obligation.
