Boyd Declares
Especial to The Heraldl

SAN BENITO, July Purchase
OF a controlling interest in the West
Tract Gin company Of Elsa by the
Valley Gin company Of this city
has just been announced by H. p.
Boyd, vice president. Acquisition of
the Elsa unit gives the Valley Gin
company % active gins in various
sections Of the Valley.
The Valley Gin company executive
stated that there would be no change
in the management or policy of the
West Tract organization. E. P. Car
ruth, well-known to cotton raisers
In the Elsa section and who has
been acting as manager of the West
Tract unit, viii continue in the
same capacity under the Valley Gin
company banner.
Boyd pointed out that the West
Tract gin has been an important
factor in the marketing of cotton
grown in the Elsa district. He de-
clared that under the Valley Gin
company administration, the Elsa
unit would continue to act as a
year-around marketing agency and
that all assistance possible would be
offered Elsa cotton farmers in the
disposition of their crops.
In discussing the present crop
situation, the gin officials urged the
continued use of calcium arsenate
as a precautionary measure against
possible weevil activity. He declared
that farmbers should not become
lax in busting especially in sections
where late planting was necessary.
He declared that a large percentage
Of Valley cotton acreage is taken up
by young cotton which must be pro-
tected against weevil activity if a
maximum yield is to be obtained.
MI. Boyd pointed out that while
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is be-
coming more diversified in crop
production each year, reliable sta
tisticS show that cotton brings a
larger financial return to the VAL
ley than any other single crop. He
declared that cotton would continue
to be the major Valley crop for
many years and called attention to
the premium paid for Valley cotton
by cotton buyers.
