Hot Weather Is
Need of Cotton
Crop Of Valley

The Valleys cotton crop has not
been seriously damaged by the rains,
but dry, hot weather is necessary to
assure a good crop, is the verdict of
experienced growers and gin men.
Cotton has grown rapidly since
the recent heavy rains, and has put
on heavy foliage. Boil weevil infes-
tation is pronounced in many parts
Of the Valley, il was stated, and un-
less the rains cease the loss caused
BY the pest will be very heavy. Many
growers are preparing to dust their
fields as soon as they feel assured
the weather will be favorable.
The heaviest loss to the crop was
in the Hargill section which was
struck by a hard hail storm last
week, and several hundred acres of
cotton beaten into the ground. The
hailstones we're Of such size that
they peeled the barks from many Of
the small trees, according to reports
received from that section.
Farmers in the unirrigated section
are predicting the heaviest crop on
record il weather conditions are IA
vorable. The rainfall was heavy
throughout the entire unrrigated
area. but except in the low scales no
material damage was done.

CANNOT BEAT
JOHN GARNER,
LEADERS SAY
Precinct Chairmen Re-
port Every Section
OF County Strong
For Veteran Scion

The interests opposing Congress
man John N. Garner cannot put
money enough into Texas to defeat
the veteran congressman Of the Fif-
teenth district, was the opinion ex-
pressed by L. M. ChauSoin Of Har-
lingen at a meeting of the Cameron
County Garner-for-Congress club
Friday night at Harlingen.
Sixteen of the thirty-one precincts
of the county were represented at
Rees-Wil- l-Mond hotel, and they were
practically unanimous in asserting
that Garner sentiment throughout
Cameron county was stronger than
ever and that he would carry the
county by a heavier majority than
in 1926. However, each stressed the
necessity of getting out the vote at
the primary, asserting that Gamers
support in his own district would
add to his prestige at Washington
and increase his usefulness to the
nation and the district.
Hundreds Of Cameron county vot-
ers have signed a pledge to secure at
least five votes in the primary for
the congressman, and precinct chair
men who have circulated the pledges
have found practically no opposition
30 Garner. They stated they found
scores OF voters eager TO sign the
pledge and also eager to work in the
interests of the congressman who
has proved such an able friend of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Announcement was made by Ed
Stuart Of Stuart Place that arrange
ment had been made for Roy Miller
of Corpus Christi, manager of the
Intracoastal Canal association to
speak in Harlingen in behalf of Gar
ner some time in July, and several
local speakers are also making ar
rangements 20 speak in the precinct
meetings.
II. B. Galbraith Of Brownsville,
chairman of the Garner-for-Congress
club, presided at the meeting. He
urged the precinct chairmen to per-
feet precinct organizations, to pledge
every vote possible and be prepared
20 get out the entire Garner vote of
the county at the primaries on July
2s.
Complete organization Of each
voting precinct in the county will
start early in July, the chairmen TO
appoint working committees upon
the basis of at least one worker for
every % votes on the poll list. IL
will be the duty of these committees
20 get the vote TO the polls on July
2S, provide checkers at the polls, and
assure that the maximurs vote will
be cast in each precinc Precinct
organizations will be ,erfected at
precinct meetings to be called by
the precinct chairmen about twenty
days prior TO the primary.
r. o. Stuart reported that at 4
recent community meeting at Stu
art Place, with q large number Of
voters present, q resolution was sub
mitted endorsing the record Of Gar
ner and pledging their support TO
the congressman, the resolution be-
ing passed with great enthusiasm
and without a dissenting vote. 9th
er chairmen reported equal unanim-
ity Of sentiment in their precincts.
but stated that unless the county is
well organized over-confidence on
the part Of the voters may result in
only a light vote being cast.
