age Has Yet Been Noted

HARLINGEN, Texas, July 11.-That
the cotton season will be in full swing
in the Harlingen section by the latter
part of the week is now almost n cer-
tainty. Cotton II rolling in ut a good
clip and pickers are going to the fields
BY truck and wagon loads. So far there
seems 10 be no cause Of alarm for
pickers in the Harlingen section, al
though the latter part of the week
should show more clearly just row the
situation il going TO be during the COM
ing week. II is understood that large
number of pickers have moved to the
Raymondville,Lyfords section during the
past two days from this community.
On Tuesday there were fifty-four
bales of cotton ginned by Harlingen's
three gins. rs follows; henderson Gar
rett gin. q bales; Valley gin, ~ bales;
and the Peoples gin 10 bales.
Harlingen seems to be taking the lead
from all Valley towns and by Friday
and Saturday should be ginning from
l25 to It's bales per day. With the con-
tinued work Of the leaf worm stripping
the cotton stalks, the older cotton that
the bolls are made on is being benefit
ted to n great extent as the suns rays
are permitted to get down into the
depths Of the cotton and cause the bolls
TO open much more rapidly than II the
leaves and foliage had remained on the
stalk to shut out the heat from the
the sun. Farmers who have early cot
ton welcome the leaf worm while the
farmer with the late cotton is fight
ing the worm because ne destroys the
squares and will also destroy small
bolls. Farmers throughout the Harlin-
gen district who have the late cotton
are poisoning steadily.
