STALKS URGED
Ginners Subscribe To
Fund to Carry on
Campaign

SAN BENITO, Sept. 5.-This year
the cotton stalk cleanup campaign in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is TAX
ing on a different aspect.
For the gin men are lining up be-
hind il, and they are backing their
efforts with cash.
Announcement was made here to-
day that a cleanup campaign on 4
scale far surprising any Of the past
is 70 be launched at once, and that
the Valley association Of gin men
will finance the campaign. Every
gin in the Valley has agreed TO put
up a certain amount TO help in the
campaign, and when ii is finished
there will be few stalks left.
The campaign fund is to be used 70
pay for advertising, and TO defray
ether expenses in bringing home to
the farmers the Importance of de-
stroying the cotton stalks as soon
as the cotton is taken out.
The aid Of chambers Of commerce,
county agricultural agents, voca-
tional teachers in schools Of the
f1AA~Ss GAl 1bANA AHA4NA401A1 anu Ut
CARNATIONS is being sought by the
rim men. and is being secured from
practically all sources, they an
nounced here.
In the past most Of the burden OF
the cotton stalk cleanup campaign
has rested on the shoulders Of the
county agricultural agents.
While much has been done in the
past toward cleanup work, We be-
lieve that the cotton stalks can all be
removed If the cooperation Of every
agency is enlisted" a local ginner
said. "The Importance Of such a
move Is evident 70 anyone who real
lies the damage done by leaving old
stalks.
There were many fields left dur
ing the past year. Is attested BY the
large amount of volunteer cotton,
and il is considered certain that this
old cotton was one reason for the
rapid spread Of the boil weeviI and
the cotton blight. A cleanup car
ried out on such lines as now being
started will mean much to the cot
ton crop Of next year"
