~, il can no longer d. stated sweepingly that the home
has shifted ell its responsibilities onto the schools.
The fathers and mothers who earnestly desire to be
good fathers and mothers are too many to allow the
phrase Ahome neglect" to stand as a universal indict-
ment. Up to a few years ago, great concern was con-
tinuously expressed in newspaper. magazine and book
over the decadenre Of the home. Though only . be
ginning has been made. parents are rising 70 the ckal-
lerre. The school and the church are at least aware
Of an awakening parenthood.
Ii IL 4 new kind Of home that n in the making. II
ID being built upon q new model The "old home
had its beauties. But the new home has beauties which
the old never knew-for one thing, a eomradeship be-
tween parents and children that is different. that is
richer. that is more sincere. And the intelligent parent
Of today makes home for his child on an ever broad
ening scale. He helps the child's idea Of home to grow
until it includes the neighborhood, then the larger and
still larger community. There are parents in the
United States who are even becoming internationally
minded, who help their children to love France, or
England, for instance, In such q way that distant lands
and people in a very true sense become a part Of the
home. And it is this new parent who realizes that the
child is a fellow man worthy Of the best understand
ing and closest friendship.
For a better grasp of the new concept of home large
groups Of parents are on the move. Thousands Of pa
ents are giving whole-heartedly Of their time and
thought to the schools. The National Congress Of Pa
rents and Teachers, 10 refer to one Of many orzaniza-
tfons busy in this work, has increased In active mem
bership over 1900 per cent in ten years and has
branches in every state in the Union. Parent-teacher
activities have taken countless forms and have been
outstandingly successful. One Of their chief purposes
is to organize facilities for the education of parents
and to bring about such a recognition of the profess
sion Of parenthood as to influence men and women 20
fit themselves by study and training for this mpst i'm
portant field Of public service.

The adjusted rates for the southwestern territory
which were expected 10 save Valley growers approx
mately 100000 this season, will 70 into effect July
s., according to an announcement by the Interstate Com
merce Commission Wednesday. This makes the sixth
postponement since the new rates we're promulgated IN
June. 1927, and ordered into effect in December. The
previous ruling Of the commission ordered the rates
into effect May IS.
That the railroads and a number Of shippers adj
versely affected by the new rates will apply for fur
ther postponement Is practically assured. However, 50
far as the Lower Rio Grande Valley Is concerned II II
no longer greatly interested. The repeated postpone
ments BY the commission have ~precluded the possibility
Of Valley growers receiving any benefits this season.
II ths new rates go into effect it will be at least a
month after the vegetable shipping season has closed.
1t must be admitted that the delay in putting the
rates into effect has proved a serious handicap for
Valley growers, and. after the repeated postponements
the Valley may be excused for being rather ~skeptical
as to the new rates ever going into effect unless a new
factor. such rs the opening Of a deep water port at
Point Isabel. Is introduced. With the completion q q
port, adjustment Of existing rates would be almost
automatic, and the saving to Valley growers would be
incalculable.
II is conservatively estimated that shipments from
the Valley this season viii exceed 10000 cars. with the
possibility that a record Ct $4,000 will be attained. Had
the proposed rates been in effect the Rio Grande VAL
ley growers would hare saved AZ least ~Sl,000,000. ac-
cording to conservative estimates. and the lower rates
would have resulted In TIE movement Of greater tom
mage and wider distribution.
The action Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
indicates that if the Valley is to obtain relief it will
be advisable to seek some other source; and a deep
water port would assure a readiustment upon a basis
which would virtually solve the Valleys transportation
problem.

Houston chronicle).
Just a line in a news account from Washington: II
says numerous southern congressman are telling Texas
congressman that the Texas plan for a regulated zone,
rather than a non-cotton zone, in the newly infested
pink bollworm district in West Texas, is entirely iu-
adequate ard is arousing alarm in other southern states.
1t is very much to oar interest to heed these warn
irgs; because no matter what we ourselves may think
Of the situation. our prosperity-that Of every one III
us-is going to be vitality affected By what these people
or other states think OF il.
The situation Is not atiall q pleasant one. Congress-
man Buchanan is asking congress for 100000 with
which to reimburse farmers in a proposed non-cotton
zone. Now, if the non-cotton zone is needed. il is
needed, no matter whether congress puts up the cash
or doesn't put i ~. Buchanan's bill is a virtual ad-
mission that the non-cotton zone is needed; IL is .
virtual declaration that the measures proposed b. the
state bollvorm commission are not ADEQUATE.
IN the face cf such a situation we can not expect
other states 70 believe anything except that Texas Il
prccrastinating In the face Of a very great peril % the
entire cotton growing section Of the nation, and for
the other states to come definitely to this belief.
whether rightly or wrongly. spells great injury for
Texas. State guarantees, if not federal guarantees,
viii make that inevitable.
A bill BY Senator Mayfield providing that the fed
eral government shall pay the entire cost Of extermi-
mating crop pests which come to Us from other nations
j. certainly. q Just one, and a very important one. We
in Texas can see that very plainly just now.
~ MIL" @A@t ~AC D4A"1Inis II 1ruAt III. POSSIBLY
the foot and mouth disease, and now the pink boil
worm, have come to us from Mexico. As years 90 BY
more and mere pests will come over our border from
the more s~outherly nation. Texas will have to fight
these pests. She viii have to defend not only herself
against them but all the United States.
Surely the federal government should provide this
national defense, Just as it would provide any other
national defense.
Il may best do that BY cooperating with Mexico In
fighting OF controlling the pests in Mexico. II NAV AZ
il By DISCRIMINATING the pests after they reach Texas.
Certainly we should have the vision to 90 ahead with
the first method, contrary to precedent though Il may
be, and we can be sure we will. from time to time. be
faced with the necessity Of adopting the second method.
There is no just reason why Texas shuold bear the
brunt Of all this. Surely congress can be made to see
that. However. i must b emphasized that we can't
shape our acticEs by what congress does. with or
without congressional aid. we must now meet the men
ace that Is before u. II means not only saving the
entire prosperity Of the south. but il means dollars
and cents, and many Of them. to US right now.
The seriousness Of the situation is too little under
stood. And whatever comes, we must understand that
blaming the other fellow will not be a substitute for
action.
