Major Leaguers
4 Beginning to Hit
By BERT DEMBY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, April G.-While the
major league baseball teams cavOrt
about the southland, defeating teams
or lesser strength under sunny skies,
their home parks, under six inches
Of snow, look more like the middle
of winter instead of April, and the
possibility of numerous opening day
games being postponed appears like
ly.
As. the teams are gathering up
their paraphcrnaIia ON their way
home for the opening date, April -,
winter is still raging in most of
the north.
In Chicago both parks are covered
by more than six inches of snow and
throughout the middle west it is so
unscasonably cold that the fans are
beginning to wonder if it will be
possible to open the season on time.
At least one bit of cheering news
has come out of the south to give
the fans something more than snow
to think about
1t is the fact that the ma ior lea
que hitter, seem to have struck their
stride ut last, after going about dur
ing the spring doing little hitting.
Sunday seemed to have brought
about many changes and the hittcrs
seemed to have followed up their
streak. Yesterday was horrible
day on pitching.
Misfortune as to injuries and i'll.

rSALFURRIAS lays claim to the larg-
est individual herd of Jersey cattle
(, rho ent;re world. This herd is on

"AIEURRlAS lays claim 10 the farg-
est individual herd Of Jersey cattle
- in the entire world. This herd is on
the Ed G. Lassiter Jersey Farm and is
estimated at $500 head Of pedgreed,
blooded stock. Dairy farmers have dubbed
the Jersey cow "The Worlds Foster
Mother because of the quality and guam
tity of the milk it gives and this claim is
emphasized by the fact that Falfurrias
butter, which is the product of cows Of
this breed, brings premium of to 10
cents over all other known brands.
Not only in quality and quantity of
milk but in consistent production, the
Jersey cow excels all breeds of dairy cat
tie in Texas. 1t gets its name from the
island, located in the English Channel.
where three generations have devoted
their efforts to the rearing of fancy dairy
cattle. The fame Of the Jersey as a
quantity producer of high quality milk
was brought to this country about 1876
and extensive importation and breeding
activity has been INDUCED in since that
time. At present there are about 2j0.-
900 head in the entire United States
which would show the Falfurrias herd as
numbering about per cent Of the whole.
The climatic conditions and grazing
possibilities around Falfurrias are SINH
lar to those on the Isle Of Jersey and this
fact is considered as large factor in the
flattering success that has followed the
efforts of every farmer in Brooks county
who has devoted his effort TO the raising
Of dairy stock; 1925 showed return Of
$50 to 5000 per COW for milking herd
of approximately 5000 now in the coun-
ty. All told, there are more than 5000
dairy head in Brooks county at the pres
ent writing and breeding activities guar
antee that this number will be material
ly increased during the current year.
Early maturity is another feature Of the
Jersey that makes it desirable stock for
the dairyman. 1t natures at about 2
years and is consistent producer Of
milk throughout its life which runs from
10 to 20 years.
The Falfurrias Creamery is reputed to
be the finest in the South and has n daily

est butter that graces the American ia
BILE. Because Of the high price com
manded by the product and the enormous
Iemand the Falfurrias Creamery is en-
abled to pay the dairy raiser - cents per
pound for butter fat which is approx
mately II cents higher than is paid in
other communities. New equipment now
being installed will permit of a larger
output and possibly the marketing of
some of the by-products which are now
being fed to hogs who in turn bring
fancy prices on the market because of
their healthy condition and the fine flaw
or of the meat from animals so fed.
Falfurrias is looking forward TO
marked increase in Jersey raising activi-
ties. The mild year round climate elimi-
mates the necessity for expensive housing
facilities such as are required in the
Northern dairy communities, and the
duplication of the Isle of Jersey climate
is particularly favorable 10 the natural
health and breeding Of the animal. The
cows can be tethered throughout the year
and in this way a commensurate sized
herd can be adequately fed and cared for
on comparatively small acreage. With
anything like a normal increase in the
milking herd 1926 should show the as
founding figure OF $750,000 as a return
10 the farmers in Brooks county who de-
vote their time and effort 10 the raising
Of dairy cattle and the marketing Of
products.
With the highway project, proposed
railroad extension and other activities ap-
proximately 100000 in public improve
ments will be spent in Brooks county
during 1926.
With its general advantages OF year
round mild climate exceedingly fertile
soil; available water supply, which is
artesian water secured 1T three strata
ranging from 800 to $50 feet; present

Administration Of the immigration

Labor Chief Expects New

! First Operation.

Secretary Of Labor Davis feels
keenly disappointed" that provision
was not made in the public buildings
program for a Department of Labor
Building in the first Its Of buildings
to be erected. Although he realizes
he said in his annual report today
that some of the larger departments
have greater problems in regard to
space. "the needs of the Department
of Labor are very vital, and | sin
cerely hope that the Public Buildings
Commission will see its way clear to
include the new Department of Labor
Building In the next group of build
ings to be erected"
Mr. Davis said he believed the
United States Board of Mediation
should be housed in the Labor Depart
ment structure, TO occupy about l2,00O
square feet. making the total space
needs of the department about 10000
square feet of floor space. The build

the department actually needs. or will

Dancy" The Labor Secretary said
negotiations have been entered into
with the owners of the building and a
lease for a period of five years, on a
basis of $68, 600 a year. has been ap-
proved by the Public Buildings Com
mission, which can be abrogated at

preparation for the rental
273 Employees Added.
The department pay roll showed an
increase of 273 employees on June 80,

services. Oof the total of 1887 en-
ployes in the department at the close

Secretary Davis saw real hope for a
reduction in the number of labor con-
