IN OUR
VALLEY

AISING of poultry is becoming more
and more an important branch of
farming in the Lower Rio Grande Val
On4 doesn't have to leave the state
highWay to note this fact. And up at
hsmondville Nat Wetzel has one of the
NEST of all the poultry farms in this
section. 1t isn't sideline with Mr..
Wetzel. however. He makes a speciality
of raising chickens.
The Rio Grande Valley itself is be-
coming heavier and heavier consumer
of chickens and eggs. AS the towns
develop, the demand will. of course, in
crease. When one recalls that in
Brownsville the last Christmas season
eggs brought as high as 80 cents a
dozen. it appears that the industry
should prove al profitable one. How
ever, the average is much below that.
They are bringing from 80 to 35 cents
at this time.
Up at Weslaco they are taking par
ticular note of the development of the
poultry industry. Last Saturday night,
at the community house there, they or
ganized the Rio Grande Valley Poultry
Show and Breeders Association. They
are going after the poultry industry
with a vim, and organization is long
step forward in creating interest.
Leaders in the movement are B. F.

nent farmer of that community, has

the town of Weslaco will turn over to
him, for the building, the local park
site. A movement is now on to do
this.
Hotels will accomplish at least one
great purpose for the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. A first class hotel for every
town that hasn't one is real need.
Some tourists will prefer one town,
some another. They will move about.
Brownsville is placing great hopes in
its proposed tourist hotel to cost about
100000. Our guess is that. when it-is
built, it will be merely the forerunner
of an even larger and finer hotel.
Speaking Of hotels, a visitor told US
a few days ago that he struck the Val

bile. Unable to secure rooms there for
himself and companion, he telephoned

who heard of his difficulty, offered him
temporary quarters in his home. And
there they went. And if the visitor had
pursued the matter al 1.-The way down
to Brownsville he would have met tho
same response.
Every common and Independent school
district in the Valley will hold cleo
tions the first Saturday in April to
elect trustees.
The Valley is most fortunate in the
fact that its residents are people who
won't have anything except the best
when it comes to school buildings and
teachers.
This is at once apparent everywhere
in the Valley
And when they elect their trustees
the most able men in the community
are ready to act.

Scientist Also Declares That
Modern Food is lniuring
Eyes of British

LONDON, June 16.-That the
civilized peoples Of the world are
gradually becoming shortsighted
due to deficiencies in modern food
is the theory advanced by Sir
Arthur Keith, England's greatest
anatomist and a professor of the
Royal College of English Surgeons.
Sir Arthur's theory has. caused
widespread attention in England,
where the number Of children with
defective eyesight has been in.
creasing OF late by leaps and
bounds.
Lecturing before the British Op.
tical Society, he emphatically re.
iected the idea that short sight is
due to eve strain. Modern civili-
zation," he said, has placed our
bodies under conditions altogether
new to them.
Our digestive systems are break.

the result that our teeth are swept
with disease, our nervous systems
are breaking down, and contracted
paIates are becoming very com
mon.
More than this. however" Sir
Arthur continued. ''is the fact that
in a considerable proportion OF the
population changes in the bonv
framework OF the face are taking
place. due to a diminished use OF
the jaws.
