Cotton Picking in Full
Swing in all Sections of

cept - cents il will be possible 10 get
along without them. notwithstanding the
fact that a serious labor shortage exists
in the Valley.
The gins in every Valley community
are gow operating 10 capacity. and are
encountering some difficulty in handling
the cotton as fast as il comes in. The
defoliating of the cotton stalks by the
leaf worms j. said To have made the
picking Of cotton easier than usual. and
the picktrs are making big wages nj
T5 cents per hundred. However. the
rapidity with which the crop j. being
picked adds To the problems Of the gins
which are endeavoring 10 gin the cotton
as fast "a il comes in.
Reports received this morning from
Willacy county and other dry land Sec
tions of the Valley state that pickers are
now at work in almost every field. aud
that the gins would start today operating
to capacity. The same labor shortage
exists a in other parts Of the Valley,
but the growers are confident they eau
get their crop picked without paying
exorbitant prices for picking. Little

the dry land sections. and growers re-
port that fields are yielding from half
u bale to n bale per acre. Both Ray

shipments from those points will he AT
least three times "a great a. last year.
Cotton buyers who have made sur

lieve the biggest yield will be in the
Santa Maria district. where little dam
age was sustained from the leaf worm.
that section also escaping some of the
rains which struck other parts of the
Valley They added however. that in
practically every Valley community the
crop is excellent. and that there seems
10 be an almost unanimous opinion that
a big top crop viii be produced this year
which will bring the Valleys per acre
production 10 the highest point ever at
tanned.
The damage done by the leaf worm
il more in the appearance of the cotton
than TO the actual crop" one grower
said this morning. ~Of course We have
lost some Of the late fruit. but | believe
the boll weevil would have gotten that il
the worms had ont cleared off the fol-
iage. / doubt il the loss to the entire
Valley will exceed p per cent. and il the
leaf worm has eliminated the boil weevil
and made il possible for u To raise a
good top crop in addition. the Valley will
profit instead Of losing by the visitation

LONDON. July 16.-The British
hopes of assuming allied leadership In
negotiations for rcparations settle
ment with Germany are considered
here to have received a serious set
back during the week end by rea-
son of the speech which Premier
Poincare delivered yesterday.
Nevertheless, the British officials
who returned to Downing street to-
day to resume the task of drafting
the reply to the latest German Of
fer were not so sure that the situa-
tion was as gloomy as the news from
Paris seemed to indicate. The Bri-
tish attitude is to the effect that
the least said about the address of
Premier Poincare the better it will
be for all concerned.
PARIS. July l6.-Prcmier Poincare's
address ut SonliS yesterday was mere
reitcration Of the French governments i
policy. and il j. not intended as a reply
TO the recent reparations speech of
Prime Minister Baldwin. il was ex-
planned in official circles here today.
The entire address. with the exception
of a few paragraphs. was written before
Baldwin delivers his address in the
British house OF commons il is said.
France, Poincare asserted. stands un-
alterably for the complete execution Of
the Treaty cf Versailles and for the
full payment by Germany Of one hun
dren and thirty billion gold marks, the
sum fixed at the London conference.
France, he added. opposes the appoint
ment Of an international finance COM
mission to reconsider Germany's debt
and to supplant the reparations com
mission.

Baldwin announced in the house Of
commons today that he would communi-
cate 20 the United States. for its infor-
