VALLEY cotton growers seem to
have settled their picking prob
lens. at least for the carly part Of
the season.
For one thing, representatives OF
cotton growers have gotten together
end decided that a uniform price OF
IS cents per hundred for picking Is
an adequate return.
That's based on the yield, cotton
price and other conditions.
For another thing, federal govern
melt representatives have opened
labor office at Edinburg.
There they will receive applica-
tions from farmers for field help
Farmers are being requested TO
register their needs as early as pos

BROWNSVILLE had a colorful
Fourth of July celebration.
That is shown in the Pathe News
pictures of the event, which are ap-
pesring at the Capitol Theater to-
day for the last time.
They show parade scenes, prom
inent individuals who participated in
incidents having to do with the dedi-
cation Of the Gateway Bridge com
pany's new international structure.
That picture is being shown all
over Texas.
Incidentally, it will help TO estsb-
iish q place for the Brownsville
Fourth of July celebration.
c. c. RICHARDSON, manager Of
the chamber Of commerce, reports
plans Of the chamber for a perma-
nent Fourth Of July event.
Says Brownsville has a setting
peculiarly adapted for the holding Of
such an event.
There's the Fort Brown lake, per-
mitting fireworks displays without
interference from crowds, which can
view all from the opposite side OF
the lake.
The military forces at Fort Brown
are always obliging in cooperating
in such patriotic celebrations.
And Richardson says let's take a
tip from New Orleans. Arrange for
special floats for night and day
parades. Make il real event
stretching over a period of three
days.
