RECOGNITION OF
MEXICO May Be
ACCOMPLISHED
Opinion Prevails in Mexico
City That Differences Be-
tween Countries Will Soon
be Adjusted

MEXICO CITY, July 7.-Several
hurdles still remain TO be passed be-
fore the views Of the United States
and Mexican governments can be placed
into the minutes Of the conference or
American and Mexican representatives
discussing questions involved in the
recognition of Mexico, Chas. Il. Warren,
one of the American delegates, said
before entering what was considered as
an important session yesterday. These
preliminary hurdles, he said, must be
surmonnted before the views Of the
two governments can be considered as
finally passed.
The deluge Of stories in the Mexico
City newspapers announcing uhat the
conference has virtually completed it's
work and that success IN assured, has
been interpreted a. an indirect mani
festation Of the determination OF the
Mexican government to meet safisfac-
torily the views Of the United States on
adequate protection To United States
petroleum and agrarian rights In this
country.
Should the minutes Of the conference
fail to include assurances for which the
American commission is contending,
the United States will make particular
reservations concerning the American
rights thus left unsecured.
II was learned that completion or the
minutes will not be delayed beyond the
middle Of next week. although Il IL al
most certain that full details Of the
understanding then reached will not be
made public until after the American
commission reports TO Washington.
Whatever statement the American
commissioners make before leaving
Mexico will depend upon the desires Of
the Mexican government.
Warren and his associate, John Bar
ton Payne. have succeeded in impressing
upon the Mexican government. II =
understood. the absolute necessity of
granting virtually all the assurances the
United States has sought to obtain.

COTTON PICKING
SEASON STARTS
FIRST OF week
Pickers Will be in the Field
in All Parts Of the Valley
Monday Morning to Har-
vest Big Crop

The cotton picking season will
open in the Rio Grande Valley the
first of the week. and by the latter
part of the week pickers will be
busy in every section of the Valley.
Practically every community reports
prospects for a record-breaking
yield, and the Valley gins are pre-
pared to handle the crop as rapidly
as it is picked Reports from the
upper part Of the Valley indicate
that the rainfall. which has been
quite heavy in the Brownsville sec
ton, has been light the past week,
and that very little damage has re-
suited from excessive rains. The
army worm has done some damage
but the boil weevil has not caused
as much loss as in previous years,
due. ii is believed to the thorough
cleanup last year.
The dry land sections Of the Val
ley will rank with the irrigated Sec
tons in production this year. accord
ing to reports received from Willacy
and northern Hidalgo counties. I'VE
are going to break all records in
northern Hidalgo county," an Edin-
burg farmer stated yesterday. The
cotton on the dry land farms is the
best we have ever produced, and
the acreage is at least four times as
great as last year. Edinburg will
gin from two to three times more
cotton than it did in 1922"
The labor problem is one of the
most difficult with which the Val
ley farmers now have to contend,
growers state. but efforts to secure
additional labor for the cotton sea-
son are proving successful. accord
ing to reports received from Hidalgo
county. Many Mexicans who are
entering by way Of Laredo are re-
ported to have been attracted by
the assurance of plenty of work i'm
mediately and they will prove of ma
terial assista Ne in getting the Val
ley's big cotton crop onto the mar
ket. In the Brownsville section
there is sufficient local labor it is
believed, to handle the crop, but Ia
Dor bureau men state there VIII be
little labor available here for other
sections of the Valley.
