Billy Evans Says

1t has been long while since the
middle west produced such a galaxy
of notable hurdlers as showed their
wares on the cinders this season.
Big Ten universities boasted such
chaps as Brookins and Crawford,
Iowa. Kinsey and Johnson, Illinois;
Snyder and Gutherie, Ohio State and
Hubbard and LOOMS, Michigan.
Here were eight timber-topper
who could cover the barriers in
close to record time. Then there
was Keeble, Missouri star, another
real steeple- chaser.
In Brookins, Iowa had the best low
hurdler yet developed in the west.
The Hawk is the present holder of
the worlds record for the event
% 1-5 seconds. He hung up that
mark in 1923, breaking the old record
established by Kraenzlein in 1898.
Brookins is also a good quarter miller
and has gone the distance in so fiat.
Crawford, a team-mate, is a high
hurdler, who confines his activities
to the 12O-yard event. In the sea-
son just closed he has won Iowa
many points.
Kinsey, Illinois, was the best high
hurdle performer in the middle west
this campaign. From the ranks of
the unknown, Kinsey stepped into
the lime-light to defeat the great
Johnson, team mate, who in 1928
was considered a world beater.
Snyder and Gutherie, Ohio State
were both stellar men. The former
copied the high hurdles at the Penn
relay games, but could only place
third in the Western Conference
Meet. Guthrie placed in the low
barriers.
Hubbard and LOOMS made 6
great pair for Michigan. Hubbard
runs the 12O~yard barriers anc
LOOMS the furlong event. Hubbard
while ranking with Johnson ant
Snyder, was kept out of the Big Ter
hurdles, being used in the 100-yart
dash instead. And in that event, t.
the surprise of the experts, the color
ed boy ran off with first place il
94-5 seconds.
Keeble, pupil of the famous Boz
Simpson, worlds champion hig
hufdler, also had an excellent sea
son and with bit more experienc
is apt to make them all hustle. Tn
high hurdles are his speciality.
Mid-western sport has develope
some great timber-toppers in tn
peat, hut this has been its mos
bountiful season. y

Eugene, Ore, June 25.-The gen.
tlemen in charge of the American
sOlympic entries have made certain
that no "furrin" practices are going
to bother Yankee sprinters and track
men.
"Bill" Hayward, for % years
track coach at University of Oregon,
is the reason. For the third time
he'll help out the U. S. A. tor the
fore in track matters. Hayward's
methods are given credit for much
of Americas success at Stockholm
and Antwerp.
Hayward, a stalwart Indian who
in his way ranked with the coun-
try's best runners, has developed
some of the vests fastest cinder
men. Dan. Kelly, who back In 1906
ran 10Os yards in 3-5, was one Of
his pupils. Mcclure, Q star quarter
miller at Stockholm, was another.

: Hidalgo county following the close of
the schools here.
Mr.. Alsmeyer carried on the boys
club work which was started by Mr..
Richardson. Mr.. Alsmeyer trained two
boys judging teams, one of which won
third place in the district judging con-
test at Kingsville in 1922, and the
other won fourth place in 1928. The
1929 team placed fairly high if the state
contest at A. & NJ. college.
Boys Citrus Club
The first boys citrus club in Texas
was organized in this county by Mr..
Alsrleyer, and there are about 40 mem
bers of the club now, with prospects
for at least so members next year. In
1922 the first cotton stalk cleanup
campaign was organizerd by Mr.. Ais
meyer, and on November l of that year
there were only Is per cent of the cot
ton stalks left in the fields, compared
with 20 per cent this year on November
1. Last year the campaign was not as
successful as it was the first year, and
this year the cleanup to the middle of
December was the best that has ever
been conducted in the Valley. The coun-
ty has taken a lead through out the
state in this work. being among the
first five counties to do efficient work
sin this line.
The cotton stalk cleanup campaign
was started as a means of doing away
with the winter home of the cotton
boil weevil and other insect that feed
On cotton stalks and parts Of the plants,
and it has also proved an invaluable
aid in checking the root rot work.
Spraying has constituted one of the
most important lines of work of Mr.. Ais
meyer. Mr.. Richardson, with the aid of
Z. W. Halstead, who came here to aid
him in the work, had previosuly held

the various kinds of heaters placed on
display. Other methods of frost pro-
lection were discussed at these meet
ings, including banking trees.
During this period Mr.. Alsmeyer also
did some work on improving pastures
Getting in new types Of grasses, and
stimulating interest in winter pastures
crops, such as various kinds of clover,
were subjects that came up in this
work.
Citrus Fruit Schools
The first citrus fruit school to be
held in the Valley was conducted under
the direction of Mr.. Alsmeyer, the first
school being at Harlingen and Browns
vile in June, 1922. Professor A. r. Potts
Of A.. & M. College was one Of the main
figures at the first school held here,
and speakers from different parts of
the Valley and from Other points in
the state were present at these citrus
fruit schools.
These schools have been held every
year since that time and another will
be held next spring, this time under
the auspices of the Valley Horticultural
society. In 1928 DR.. Yothers and Earn
est B.. Barber of New Orleans attended
the citrus fruit schools in the county.
This year a citrus fruit school in Viii
lacy county, the first to be held there,
was started by M. Alsmeyer, although
he turned it over to the Valley Horti-
cultural society when that organization
was founded.
John r. Winston, U. S. Dept. Of agri-
culture at Orlando, Fla, ard f. f..
Bust, citrus pathologist Of the Florida
extension service, were in the Valley
at the citrus fruit school held here
last June at Ell Jardin. The next school
will be at Santa Rosa and San Benito
in the spring. Each year following 1922
citrus fruit schools have been held in

ed two girls, Dollie and Hazel Seward,
that won first place in the state bread

work in canning in the home, especial
1y canning of citrus fruit.
Mrs. Jewel Smith has carried on the
work with women's and girls clubs in
the county, and has added clubs and
courses in cooking. She has secured
stoves from hardware concerns and
furniture stores of the county, and in
many of the schools girls classes in
cooking are giving supplementary lunch
es - the schools.
Hidalgo County
Marshall McIllhenny, the first coun-
ty agent of Hidalgo county went into
office in 1913, and was followed in
1914 by w. z. Miller. Mr.. Miller CON
Quoted the county agent work, including
demonstrations in truck and citrus
spraying, and other kinds of work on
tie farm similar to the work carried on
in this county, until 1918, when he left,
and Hidalgo county had no agricultural
agent for several years, J.. w. Kirk
pctLNh, tHS plcScHL CuuHly agent, ldh-
ing office in 1926.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has conducted a
lumber of dairy tests, and has done
work in securing registered bulls in the
county, improving the pastures, and
other similar work with dairies in the
county.
Re also conducted the first citrus
fruit school in Hidalgo county in 1923,
tn. first school, planned for 1922, be-
ing postponed 4 year on account of the
floods in the county.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has been active in
the work Of the Valley horticulture
society, and also done much citrus work
in Hidalgo county in the past few
years.
Mss Kate Kelly was the first home
demonstration agent in Hidalgo coun-
t., coming there in 1916, and remain
ing until June of this year, when heI
place was taken by Miss Juanita
Sprot. who has recently been promoted
to 4 district agent, and Miss Ruby
Knuckles is now home demonstration
agent. The county home demonstration

schedule demonstrations. The first one
to be carried on by Mr.. Alsmeyer was
in 1922. This year eleven farmers in
the county signed up with the county
agent to carry on spraying throughout
the season, with the understanding that
they woul inform their neighbors as to
the time of spraying, what kind of
spray was being used, and what the
spraying was for. The spraying demons
t~rations have been carried on contin-
uously by the county agent since the
first one. The result Of the work has
been to secure continuity in the spray
ing, and not haphazard work as was
at first done.
"City of POinsettias"
M. Alsmeyer has the first person to
suggest calling Brownsville the "City
Of Poinsettias", following the fashion
Of other cities, such as Galveston,
known as the "City of Oleander". Last
year pofnsettia day was set aside in
the county. Cuttings were secured and
distributed throughout the county, 1000
of them being furnished to home own
ers and other persons, in small amounts
for Identification, and this year they
may be seen coming into full bloom
all over the county. Plans for an active
poinsettia week next February through
out the county are being made by the
county agent at the present time.
The Valley HORTICULTURAL society,
which was organized in June of this
year, received its first impetus at the
suggestion of Mr.. Alsmeyer, who was
also one of the most active workers in
the organ cation of the society. Mr.. Ais
meyer suggested the organization of the
society at the last citrus fruit school,
and helped to start the organization.
This society has been unusually active,
having more than $50 members at the
present tine. The society conducted the
Florida trip of Valley citrus growers, of
which Mr.. Alsmeyer was chairman of
the program committee, and also
conducted the citrus fruit schools in
the two counties next year.
Mr.. Alsmeyer has centered his work
in the county on citrus, believing that
the future development of the Valley
depends upon the success of this indus
try more than anything else. He has
held field meetings in every part of the
country, showing the growers how to
protect from scale, how to protect from
cold, how to bud, how to gather the
iruit, and has talked to them on mark
citing.
Home Demonstration
The first home demonstration agent
in Cameron county, Miss Myrtle Love
lace. came here in 1919, and remained
until the spring of 1924, when Mrs. jew
el Smith, present county agent, took
her place here. Miss Lovelace was very
active IN women' and girls club work
CT all kinds, conducting contests in
break making, sewing, canning, etc, and

as county agent. During the time that
he was in the county, the agricultural
work progcesserd noticeably, one Of the
outstanding feature Of the work done
by him being in connection with cot
ton, including the establishment in the
Valley of Durango cotton; also work
with Hubam clover, and work on insect
control.
Mr.. Richardson also introduced the
practice Of conducting tours in various
parts of the county. Farmers and citrus
growers from several communities
would assemble in one community and
discuss outstanding features Of their
crops, ard would listen to speak
ers brought down from A. & NJ. College
and other places.

is composed of all farmers who desire
