Valley WdteyNeed.

on matters pertaining to these subjects
in this section
"The Valley has practically reached
the limit of its development in the way
Of acreage under irrigation, from the
uncontrolled flow of the Riao Grande, Y
Mr.. Anderson said. He mentioned that
in 1919 the United STATES 20 ..rnment
maed a survey Of the situation here and
estimated that 100000 acres was the
most that could be irrigated from the
uncontrolled flow of the Rio Grande.
The present acreage under cultivation
in the Valley is approximately 100000.
The regulating effect Of the Lago Toron-
u dam in the Conchas river near Chi
huahua. Mexico, and the improvement
in irrigation systems cutting out waste,
and improvements in cultivation, making
better use Of the water have made this
possible. Mr. Anderson says.
Increasee IL Per cent.
Development in the w1y Of increased
acreage brought under cultivation has
been going on at the rate Of IL per cent
per year This increase IS figured on
compound interest, that Is with a new
basis every year. This would place the
total acreage in the nex- --w years at a
figure which probably would result in
occasional shortage in the water sup
pTy from the Rio Grande, with no method
or control
There are approximately 100000 acres
or land in the Valley in the present ir-
riCation systems. which would bt
brought under irrigation if development
were extended to entirely cover thest
tracts The gross acreage Of the Valley
subject to cultivation is 100000, accord
ing to the estimate Of the United States
government. but Mr Anderson exrressec
the belief that hardly more than 100000
Of it will be irrigated at any near time
In anticipation Of such development
as this, Mr.. Anderson made chart
showing the flow Of the Rio Grande dur
ing one Of the dry years, 1924. and show
ing on the same chart the irrigation
needs which would exist in case the to-
tai amount Of land under irrigation in
this district were doubled, that is il
case 100000 acres were placed under
cultivation.
Chart Shows Flows.
This chart shows that the flow in the
river always has fully met the irrigation
demands, though sometimes there has
been little excess and on several days
the flow past Brownsville has been a.

CATHCART Will

Judge Violates Custom
To Admit Countess
Temporarily
fRv The Associated Press. !.

NEW YORK. NJ ", Feb. 20.-The
possibility that Vera, countess Of Cath
cart might not even be permitted to
enter the country for the hearing on
her habeas corpus petition was dispelled
tonight when Federal Judge Goddard
agreed, contrary to the custom Of the
court, to allow her to attend. His de-
cision followed long conference with
Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for the
countess.
The countess, through Mr.. Hays, yes
terday obtained writ of habeas corpus
which stayed her deportation, pending
a court decision of her liability to ex-
clusion for moral turpitude
The federal attorney spent the after
noon in examining facts in the case
during a conference with a representa-
tive of Henry H. Curran, immigration
commissioner at Ellis Island, where the
countess is held. Mr.. Hays indicated
that the chief point he would endeavor
to make in his fight would be that ad-
mitting an act did not constitute ad-
mission of crime, it being necessary
to judge the act by the laws OF the
country where it occurred.
Conflicting differences as to the at
titude of the countess came from hel
and her counsel She was said to have
cabled London that she would be II
England III three weeks to attend the
opening Of her play there, regardless
Of the outcome Of the case, while Mr.
Hays asserted she seemed to be ready tt
stay a year if necessary to fight The
case.

Former Head of

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb. 90. Arrange
ments to make bond of $500 for Clar-
ence Saunders, erstwhile millionaire
head of the Piggly Wiggly Stores, Inc.
today, charged with fraudulent use Of
the mails, are expected to be made Mon
day.
Arthur L. Oliver, st. Louis attorney,
left today to confer with Saunders at
Memphis.
The. former Piggly Wiggly head, who.
in recent statements, declared the fed
eral prosecution would result in nothing
more than inconvenience, apparently an
ticipated the action of the grand jury as
a personal representative was here when
the true bills were returned.
The six counts in the indictment are
based largely on letters sent to five ST..
Louisians in reference to purchases Of
stock during the promotion campaign
Saunders launched after his sensational
corner of Piggly-Wiggly stock on the
New York stock exchange in March, 1928.
Saunders is accused of misrepresenting
the earning power of the securities as
we'll as his purpose in selling the stock
to the general public.
Although he raised himself from q
poorly paid grocery clerk to a financieE
worth $3,000,000 in the course Of 23
years, Saunders lost every dollar he
owned after the receivership proceedings
were established in the latter part of
1928.
