TUssAUD's MUSEUM GETS WAX MUSS0L|N|,
 OTHERS COMING UP

LONDON. March 3. (P-Mussolini and all the rest of the up-to- minute dictators are being modelled in wax for Madame Tussaud's reconstructed museum, the museum which Dickens immortalized as Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works in "Old Curiosity Shop"
 Bernard Shaw, Thomas Hardy, Sir James Barrie, Sir Alfred Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge and scores of other literary lights also will be in the new wax hall of fame.
 John T. Tussaud, great grandson of the original Madame Tussaud, is directing the reconstruction of the famous amusement centre which was partly destroyed by the fire several months ago. The Old Chamber of Horrors is to be reproduced. Mr. Tussaud believes crime and criminals is just as attractive as it ever was to the British public.

THREE CHIEF CAUSES
 OF MARITAL TROUBLE

BUFFALO, March 8. F-Mother- in-law, incompatibility, and drink are the prime causes of marital difficult ties, believes George L. Hager, Judge of 30 yeaar old domestic relations di- vision of the Buffalo City Court.
 Early marriages are best in most cases,' says Judge Hager, although some who marry too early fail to un- derstand the responsibilities of mar ried life.
 Many young couples also forget to show affection after the novelty of marriage has worn off, and the hus- band ceases to be lover also. There may be a quarrel, the wife goes home to mother, sometimes the husband is arrested, with consequent irreparable injury to his pride. And almost al- ways the mother-in-law adds fuel to the flames by siding strenuously with her own child"

SARITA, Texas. - Pineapples. as

Hawaiian islands, are being raised at
the La PARA ranch Of John q. Ken
edy in kennedy county. Mr.. Kennedy
has approximately $50 pineapple
plants on his farm, $50 of which will
be producing this year. Several Of
his friends in Brownsville, Corpus
Christi and K~ingsville have received
fruit from the Kennedy ranch, which
they pronounce equal 70 any they ever
ate.
Experiments with pineapples have
been made in this section several
years, and the varieties secured by
Mr.. Kennedy are proving we'll adapt
ed 70 soil and climatic conditions.
The La PARA ranch is well watered
from wells, and in addition to the
pineapples. Mr.. Kennedy has fine cit
rus and palm trees.
The county is not part OF the Lower
Rio Grande Valley, and Is generally
regarded as a desert" section. How
ever, the experiments carried on at
La PARA ranch have demonstrated
that wherever irrigation water is
available it will produce fruit and
crops as prolifically &C the irrigated
sections of the Valley.

Silt DEPOSIT
OF RIOCRANDE
VERY FERTILE
Irrigation Waters Car
ry Over Twenty
Thousand Pounds of
Silt Per Acre Foot

There is no danger OF fertility loss
in the soil Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, is the verdict Of soil special
lists, who have ~sscertained that ir-
rigation water from the Rio Grande
carries from 10000 "a $4,000 pounds
Of silt in every acre foot, and that
each application Of irrigated water
Is equivalent to a heavy application
of fertilizer.
Irrigation water from the Rio
Grande carries more silt plant food
than the waters OF any other river,
exceeding that OF the ancient Nile,
which through the centuries has
made the Nile Valley Of Egypt the
most productive cultivated area
known. Chemical analysis Of the
waters Of the two streams have
proved conclusively that the volume
Of plant food in the waters Of the
Rio Grande is far greater than In the
Nile. indicating that the Lower Rio
Grande Valley will eventually be
developed to the point where il will
produce in greater volume than the
historic valley Of the old world.
The soils Of the Valley, being Of
a~llnvial or s~emi-alluviaI origin. are
highly productive. and are well adj
apted TO a great variety Of crops. ex-
eeedinE in this respect the Valley Of
the Nile. The heavier soils have
proved well adapted 70 the growing
Of winter vegetables and staples, in
GLIDING cotton ard corn. and citrus
fruit have proved profitable on prac-
tically all soils that are well drained.
The drainage problem, which has
been one Of the most important with
which the Valley farmers have been
forced 10 contend, Is rapidly being
solved by the various irrigation and
drainage districts.
Ample Irrigation Facilities
All sections within the irrigated
area OF the Valley are supplied with
excellent facilities for the supply Of
irrigation water, and these facilities
are constantly being improved and
extended The 23-inch average an
nual rainfall has not been found suf-
ficient TO materially over supply
moisture at any n time, but il is
sufficient to reduce the needs of ir-
rigation to a low amount. In fact,
there are few irrigated areas which
use q smaller volume of water per
acre than the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. due 70 the fact that the
rainfall Is often sufficient to mature
a crop without additional moistening
of the soil.
In this respect conditions in the
Rio Grande Valley are very dissimi-
lar from those obtained In the valley
OF the Nile, where irrigation Is
necessary for the maturing Of all
crops. as rains occur very seldom.
The heaviest irrigation in the Valley
comes in the winter and early spring
months. when seed beds and plant
ings Of vegetables require watering
to start them or when there is not
sufficient moisture in the soil 70
start the cotton and corn crops.

Identification of
Plant Site Planned

SAN BENIT0, Texas.-The nine
acre site Of the city abattoir, ~inciner-
ator and disposal plant will be beauti-
fled. according to plans Of the city
commission. il was announced recent
" following a conference between the
commission and the designers Of the
municipal plants.
The plan contemplates the filling
in Of all low places, sodding Of the
entire area not occupied by buildings
and the. planting Of palms and other
ornamentals. The plants will be
painted a light color so as TO produce
a better effect rs a background for
the Identification.
The fact that all structures have
been erected within a comparatively
small ares gives the city an oppor-
tunity to carry out the Identification
plans with comparatively small ex-
penae.

PREDICTS BIG
DEMAND FOR
VALLEY FRUIT
New Process of Cam
ming Grapefruit Re-
tains All OF the Nat
ural Flavor

Valley grapefruit. both canned and
fresh. will eventually find its way
into practically all markets, and will
command a premium over the fruit Of
other sections, il the opinion Of John
w. Wilkinson, agricultural publicity
agent for the Missouri Pacific Lines,
who has made an intensive study Of
the citrus fruit industry Of the
Valley.
The Valley grapefruit il sweeter
and more palatable than that grown
IN Florida or California" Nj. Wilkin-
son stated. THE only thing 20 re-
greet is that the Valley fruit does not
ripen every month Of the year"
Mr. Wilkinson expressed great con-
fidence in the establishment Of
kets for canned grapefruit from the
Valley, which he asserts has all the
superior flavor OF the fresh fruit.
"A. A. Laughfin Of Olmito has solv-
ed the problem Of canning Valley
grapefruit without detrscting from
its flavor Mr.. Wilkinson said. For
some years he has been experiment
ing and trying out various methods OF
processing TO ascertain whether .
satisfactory method Of canning could
be found that would preserve the nat
ural flavor and last year he worked
out a process that seemed entirely
satisfactory.
Retains All the Flavor
THE new process retains all the
natural sweetness and flavor Of n
Texas grapefruit for which il Is so
highly priced. Mr.. Laughlin hes es-
tahlished a canning plant AZ Olmito
that is using this process and il sup
plies a large local market. Last sea-
son he canned ESQ tons Of grapefruit
and shipped five cars Of the canned
product 10 the California market"
Shipments Of Valley canned grape
fruit 10 California is something like
carrying Goals TO Newcastle" but
the superior flavor OF the Valley pro-
duct created q demand greater than
the supply, and large consignments of
the canned fruit have already been
ordered BY California dealers 10 be
shipped this season.
Cans Many Products
The canning season for grapefruit
extends from November IS to Feb
ruary is. However, the Olmito can
ming plant cans a great many other
products besides grapefruit. Toma-
toes, beans, sweet corn, spinach, ber-
ries and sweet potatoes are also
handled BY the plant. Last year Mr..
Laughlin put up 1000 cases OF toma-
toes, and could have handled twice
that amount If the tomatoes could
have been found.
Last year was Mr.. LauRhlin's
first season with spinach, but Ne put
up 1000 cases. He also packed 49,
600 Number 2 cans. and p 900 Num-
Der ! a n Of beans in April and May.
With such y variety Of fruits and
vegetables as can be found in the
Valley, Mr.. Laughlin is able 10 keep
the plant In almost continuous
operation.
The Oimito not only provides a
local market for such fruits and vege.
