 The chief executive also took the opportunity to express to the Span ish king his satisfaction that Amer ica and Spain adopted identical @t- titudes as to the promotion of peace in the world as shown ty Spain's prompt indication that she would become party to the re- gently concluded covenant for the outlawry of war,

Boyd Estimates Blight
Damage, Reporting
Spotted Fields
Especial to The Herald

SAN BENITO, July 6.-One-thiId
of a bale to the acre was the esti-
mate placed on the Valley cotton crop
today by H. P. Boyd. manager Of the
Valley Gin company.
Mr.. Boyd made the estimate in fur
nishing information to J. Z. Bell,
manager Of the San Benito Chamber
Of Commerce, who has received a
communication from George B. Ter
rell, state commissioner Of agricul-
ture, asking for details on the crop.
and the estimated damage from the
blight.
Other general information furnish
ed by Mr.. Boyd on the cotton crop Is
that the blight is spotted over the
Valley, appearing very badly in some
fields, and scarcely at all in others.
II is spotted both in the Valley and
in the individual fields, he said. He
said that as a whole il has done much
less damage in Cameron than in Hi
dalgo county.
An appeal to the state commission
er Of agriculture to get behind a
move for a law making il compulsory
for cotton fields 10 be cleaned up was
made by Mr.. Boyd.
"A large part of the present dam
age from the blight can be tracted TO
the old cotton stalks" he said. Elk

are often infected at the base under
meath the bracts without showing the
infection elsewhere"
IL is this phase Of the disease that
has been causing many squares and
hollis to drop during the past month.
Cause
"The Angular Leaf Spot is a bac-
terial disease caused by the organism
Basterium Malvaceaum-E. r. Smith.
IL lives over the winter probably
most entirely on the short lint on
cotton seed and infects the plant as
soon as it starts growing in the
spring. During wet weather great
numbers Of the organisms exude from
the diseased spots and are carried
by wind and rain to other plants. In
seets, especially aphids. spread the
distase by carrying the organisms
from diseased to healthy plants and
leaves
Control
"The disease is checked by dry
weather which prevents the spread OF
infection. Rolls and Faul WetteI
have shown that the disease may be
controlled BY delinting the seeds
with sulphuric acid before plant
ing"
Selection of seeds from disease free
fields is also given as a preventative
of this disease.
"It is entirely possible that the Sc
verify Of the disease this year has
been due to the fact that many plants
lived over the winter without being
killed and that there was a double in
lection from this source and from
the seeds. The winds during May and
early June were instrumental IN
spreading the disease over large
areas and consequently the damage
has been much greater than in years
with ordinary weather conditions"

The disease attacking cotton in the
no Grande Valley and other sections
ol south Texas is not q new disease
nut IS simply more pronounced than
IN past years, according to Paul
Cowan, instructor in vocational agri-
culture in the Donna public schools.
To s~ubstantiate this statement,
Cowan has given an explanation and
u OF the disease and has suggest
ed remedies which are designed TO
lead to its control.
A written article prepared BY
Sowan relative TO the blight" fol-
lows:
Considerable discussion concern
ing the disease attacking cotton in
the Grande Valley and other sections
OF South Texas seem TO have an air
Of ~vstery. This disease Is not a
new o., by any means but is simply
more pronounced than during most
seasons. DR.. j. j. Taubenhaus of the
Texas Experiment station has just
returned from Robstown and states
hat the disease is Angular Leaf Spot
a d that the infection is fully Is per
e u. it is also known as Bacterial
BIZ ,ht or Black arm. Some people
Gale il crust" but il il not a rust
at all but n bacterial disease. DR..
Taubenhaus states that at Corpus
the disease seems to have reached
its peak and that the dry weather
has checked its spread. The follow
ing description Of the disease is TAX
en- from an Arkansas bulletin, Di-
seases Of Cotton in Arkansas.
Angulaor Leaf Spot
THE disease which is most gener-
ally distributed in the state aud
which in some seasons does more in
jury than any other is the Angular
Leaf Spot. The disease is often call
ed Rust hut the term is not de-
scriptiye. Angular leaf spots de-
scribes it much better. The disease
appears in the spring as soon as the
plants come out Of the ground and
may then be seen on the seed leaves
as circular spots which have the APP
pearance OF having been water
soaked. On the later leaves il is al
ways in the form Of sharp cornered
spots bounded by leaf veinlets. The
spots appear first on the lower side
Of the leaf and then penetrate to the
upper side. In the early stage they
appear as dark green woter-oaked
spots. Later. this diseased tissue
turns dark brown. Badly spotted
leaves usually fall early.
Dark streaks due 70 the disease
may appear on the stems and
branches. This phase OF the disease
is known as BLACK arm"
"On the hollis the disease appears
as dark green wa~ter-soaked raised

an order 10 protect the grower
who has enough energy and foresight
to clean his field of stalks at the end
Of the season, a law should be passed
requiring all growers 20 do this"
The estimate Of one-third OF n bale
10 the acre on cotton over the entire
Valley places the yield nc what ia
considered a fairly satisfactory mark.
The exact acreage Of cotton in the
Valley is not known, although il is
believed that this yield will bring a
total Of more than 100000 bales Of
cotton.
Mr.. Boyd laughed at the report that
iOO, goo cotton pickers are needed In
addition to the pickers already in the
Valley. why, that many pickers
would clean out the Valley crop in a
day" he said lsughingly. He ex-
pressed the opinion that only a few
more piekers are needed in the VAL
ley besides those already here. and
the natural drift Of pickers 10 this
section at the opening Of the cotton
season.
Mr.. Boyd also mentioned the fact
that pickers are being offered Sl.OO
per hundred in many sections.
EDINBURG. July s. - Cotton
throughout the Lower Rio Grande
Valley i more nearly free from the
drought blight which threatened the
crop for the past few weeks than Is
generally believed and a conservative
estimate of production for 1928 would
be 1885, 900 bales, according TO P. +.
Cisco, Edinburg farmer, who has just
returned from an extensive tour Of
cotton acreage in this section Of the
state.
The blight had begun 20 affect
large acreage in the extreme north
ern section of the Valley. The di-
sesse resembled the drought blight
but little credenee was given this
theory due to the fact that heavy
rains had fallen during the weeks
previous to the appearance Of the
disease.

AUTO TOUR OF JUNEAU COUPLE GETS WRITEUP

With photographs of themselves and their new Buick autos, there appeared recently in the Wiscon- sin News, Milwaukee, Wis, a short article on the trip being taken by Dr. and Mrs. l.. P Dawes of this city. Mrs. Dawes is shown standing by a new Buick brougham and Dr. Lawes by his coupe.
 Both cars were delivered from the Milwaukee Buick agency for Connors Motor Company, local dealers. Dr. and Mrs. Dawes planned a trip to Chicago, Kansas City and over Lincoln Highway to Portland and Seattle. Many of us," said the article accom- panying the photographs, "are prone to think of road conditions in that far country of the north as almost impossible to modern motor travel, but according to Dr. Dawes, road conditions around Ju- neau are comparatively good, all of which inspires us with a de- sire to motor through those far off lands in quest of new scenes and new environments"

CUTLER HARD TO GET ALONG WITH?
 NOT BIT, SAYS OWNER WRICLEY

CHICAGO, May II - Hazen c"Kiki") Cuyler, bench warmer and bad boy of the Pirates, is go. ing great guns with the Chicago Cubs.
 Owner William Wrigley and Manager Joe Mccarthy look to this slender, fleet-footed brunette of 20 for the punch to put them across ahead of the field in the National League pennant chase.
 That Kiki Cuyler is some boy some boy" said Wrigley. Hit! You bet he can. Hard to get along with? l never saw a more ami- able player. He is fighting for the Cubs all the time. He is help ing the rockies and he is going to give us the pennant this year, or l miss my guess by a mile"
 Kiki has been in professional baseball only eight yea.,. but in that time he has experienced the sorrows and joys that many O. the games oldest veterans never realize. He has been sent back to the farm" three times after a major league start; he has hit his way to land among that small co terie of the games best sluggers. he has been benched for insub- ordination and he has been traded down the river.
 Last season Cuyler was hench- ed by the Pirates when he had a fuss with Donie Bush and Barney Dreyfuss.
 While many critics, including John McGraw of the Giants, be- lieved Kiki was through, that his batting weakness had been dis covered and that being hit by q pitched ball had made him bat shy, he has made good with the Cubs in startling fashion. For 21 spring exhibition games this year and four National League contests, he hit safely at least once in every game and sec minglI rejuvenated the Cubs.

aught we know, may be on sound ground. But
if they speak as experts or what is good for
the soul Of one who sings or hears hymns, then
they are merely expressing an opinion with
which the vast majority of men and women
doubtless will feel free to differ.
Any tune that sticks in the mind a bad tune
When the Titanic sank beneath the North At
lantic waves, the ships orchestra was playing
Nearer, My God, to Thee, and doomed sailors
and passengers were singing the words. And
neither orchestra nor singers needed sheet
music for this, perhaps the most soul-gripping
instance Of hymn-singing in all history. They
did not need sheet music, because the air of
this glorious old hymn stuck in their minds,
just as it had stuck in their minds ever since
the days when they lisped their "Now ! Lay
Mes" at their mothers knees. A bad tune?
