Cotton Acreage
Will Be Large

The cotton acreage in the unir-
rigated section Of the Valley will be
at least 100 per cent greater than
last year. is the opinion expressed
by land owners in that section.
Over Z 10000 acres cleared in Will
lacy county since January !, 1926
will be planted to cotton, and
thousands of acres have been clear
ed o Rthe Mestenas tract aorund
Hargill, Rollo and Lasara and also
along the highway north from Ed
inburg, the clearing extended into
the ranch area several miles west
of the highway.
Heavy rains are badly needed
throughout the entire unirrigated
section. The recent light rains
have provided sufficient moisture to
start the crop, farmers state, but
heavy rains at this time would prac-
tically assure a big yield. All the
newly cleared land has been plow-
ed and is in shape for early plant
ing.

would touch him. But she merely
stood back and let him pass.
He felt mea and degraded. In
stead of being a hero in his own
eyes. he saw that he was merely con
temptible. He deliberately turned his
mind into other channels and con
jured Up a picture Of the unctuous
conscientious Peter Borden. He told
himself time and time again that he
despised Borden. He reviewed his
