county and two in Cameron county, are
planned for the middle of this month

at La Feria Tuesday afternoon, according
to County Agent Louis H. Alsmeyer,
who was in Brownsville today.
These schools are being planned by
members of the A. & NJ. department of
extension, working with the marketing
committee, and planned in order that
the people of the Valley may have mar
keting laws, organizations, rules, pur-
poses, personnel, and everything con-
nectei with marketing explained by
persons who know.
The first one of these marketing
meetings will be held in Hidalgo coun-
ity on July 13, and the second day will
be in the same county on July a.
July Is and 16 will witness the meet
ings in Cameron county. 1t is planned
to hold three different gatherings each
day, making a total of six meetings in
each county, and total of II meetings
for the entire series.

Big crop
.OfCOttOn
Forecast

A call for five thousand cotton
pickers has been issued by the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Of
Texas.
One of the best cotton crops
that the Valley has ever had is
just coming into picking, and a
shortage of labor is being felt at
this early stage in the game, ac-
cording to shippers and grow
ers. The call is being sounded
throughout the state, and in
Mexico, in hopes Of getting
enough pickers to the Valley by
the time the crop is at it's best.
Gins in all sections of the
Valley are operating now. The
Brownsville gins started early
this week, and at least one gin in
every other city of the Valley is
turning out cotton, several Of
them having passed the 100
mark early this week.
BY the middle Of next week every Gin
IN the Valley will have started, and the
cotton season, which lasts about three
months, will be in full swing. with the
white fleece being picked in all parts
Of the county.
The call for pickers is being sent
out by farmers Of the Valley, who are
already beginning to feel a shortage.
and who are afraid that this section
VIII not be able to get the cotton pick
ed IN time to secure the best price for
It, and to keep it from being damaged
by rain from remaining unpicked.
The Lower Valley will have the
largest crop of cotton in its history this
year, is the verdict of one San Benito
grower, who has made a rather accurate
check of the situation.
The acreage is larger than has ever
been planted before by several thousand
acres, and the crop is in the best con-
dition that / have ever seen il The
yield in the Valley should easily pass
the 100000 bale mark this year. and
may even go past that mark"
The grower said that cotton boil
weevils are doing very little damage. in
comparison to what they have done in
past years, and that army or leaf
worms have not hurt the crop. The
stalks are large and healthy, and have
heavy crop of cotton bolls, large and
even, which are breaking open to fur
nish the Valleys record cotton crop.

Tax Reduction Consid-

(Bv The Associated Press.l

BV Inc ASSOCIATED ProSS.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., July with
final figures in hand showing $780,
000,000 surplus for the fiscal year end
ed Tresday, treasury attention was
turned today to revision of estimates
of receiptafor the year now beginning
Orders to review all of the figures in
detail was issued by Under-Secretary
Winston.
The revamping of calculations was
made necessary by the fact that prac-
tically all items of receipt for the past
year exceeded expectations. Much Of
the excess thus resulting came in re-
ceipts from taxes paid in March and
June and furnishes what is regarded
as a definite indication Of the trend to
be developed in the fiscal year now
started.
Income tax receipts, amounting to
.760,000,000 were $100,000,0O0 greater
than had been estimated The belief pre-
walls at the treasury that receipts from
this source in the coming fiscal year
are likely TO &C above 0,000,0 900 which
was the figure calculated when the last
budget was sent to congress. Customs
revenue and, miscellaneous tax receipts
also were unusually high and officials
are convinced the surplus when the cur
rent year ends next June will be ma
terially higher than the previous esti-
mate of S29, 100000 it is on this surplus
the tax reduction must be based.
The close of the fiscal year 1925 on
Tuesday found a surplus of $250.505,-
1883 int he treasury after expenditure
Of $3,529 .643, ,446.09 of the ordinary re-
ceipts, which totalled $3.50, las, ,68442.
