Pan American Party for President
HOOUer NOW Under Discussion

Reception for Incoming
President, With Latin
American Diplomats as
Hosts, Has Becom e
Tradition
Among the members of
the Pan American Union
there has already been some
informal discussion Of a pro-
posed reception in honor Of
the President and Mrs.
Hoover. The new Chief
Executive must be consulted,
Of course, as to his willing
ness to be thus entertained
and as to d suitable date be-
fore definite plans can be
made. But, with Mr..
Hoover's. goodwill tour Of
South and Central America
fresh in his mind, there is
little likelihood of his re-
fusing such an invitation.
Limited by Tradition
Although the President Of the
United States is limited by
tradition In his acceptance Of
hospitality, there is ample prece-
dent for fete in his honor
with the Representatives Of the
Latin.American nations as hosts.
For President Wilson
when the late President VIII.
con was married to Mrs. Norman
Gait ana they had returned from
their honeymoon at Hot Springs,
the Pan American Union ar.
ranged a great reception in their
honor, which went down in his
tory az q gala event. Then Pres
ident Harding came in and q
similar function was given in his
honor ana Mrs. Harding's. So the
tradition Of the Latin.American
diplomatic Representatives cele-
brAting q new Administration
with a reception to the incoming
President became established and,
after President Coolidge became
Chief Executive, he ana Mrs.
Coolidge were entertaind in the
same delightful fashion.
The Pan American Building IL
admittedly the 1oveliest setting in
washington for d big reception,
especially in the spring. when the
guests can wander out onto the
wide terraces and into the Aztec
Garden, 30 the possibility Of q
feto there in honor of the new
President has most beguilins as.

Farmers to Produce Bet

Especial to The Herald

COLLEGE STATION. Tex. Aug.
Increased consumption OF dairy
products depends very largely on
producing a better quality product
which the consumer will find moie
appetizinR, Charles ". Shepardson.
head Of the husbandry department,
A. az M. college OF Texas. pointed
out in an address before the dairy
division Of the Farmers Short
Course here Thursday. 1T is 10
the producer that we must turn
not only to improve the quality or
the finished product, but 20 hlep
eliminate some Of the loss that he
sustains at present, due to poor
grade milk and cream" he said.
Two things are involved in pro-
ducing clean milk. the speaker
pointed out. The first consideration
is the equipment. A strong, we'll
built barn should be provided with
q separate room for the handling
Of the milk. The utensils should be
Of good quality and free from
cracks, seams or other flaws that
make them hard to clean. An
adequate coolin gsystem is the tub
ular cooler with circulating water
or brine, or If this is not available,
the producer will find the conical
cooler with ice water in the center
a very satisfactory method.
The best equipment available l.
not a guarantee of clean milk If the
operator is not careful in his
methods" Mr.. Shepardson said
The four important sources Of dirt
and contamination in milk TO be
considered are: The man, the COW
the utensil and the barn and cor
rails. Negligence in regard to ont
OF these points may be the cause
OF sor cream and milk and failure
in the dairy business Steriliza-
ton may be either by the use oi
some chemical disinfectant in the
rinse water or by heat. A better
method is to steam the utensils III
cleaning utensils. dish rags should
not be used because Of the difficulty
OF keeping them clean and free
from odors. The brush and plenty
Of good dairy washing powder i!
suggested as satisfactory method o.
cutting the film Of casein from the
utensils.
Milk should be cooled as soon a!
possible to so degrees or lower an.
If 1t must be set out on the roac
for the milk truck. it can be KEEP
fairly cool by placing it under q
shade with wet rags around it.

AUSTIN, Aug. Am order was
adopted by the board of water en-
gineers Thursday on the j. T. Frank
lin application for permit to irri-
gate $1,000 acres Of land in Hidalgo
county, requiring one-acre foot Of
reservoir storage for each acre ir-
rigated.
The application originally sought
pumping privileges without storage
but was amended TO include omse
storage. The permit was not issued
Wednesday and final action is be-
ing held upon 1t pending showing
to be made to the board OF water
engineers on feasibility OF the project
in engineering particulars.
Also, showing was to be made OF
actual acreage to be included. as
some landowners indicated their
purpose to stay out. No landowner
can be included againts his VIII,
board members said.
The Guerra interests, controlling
about 10000 acres of land which
Franklin applicants proposed to in
clud in the -igation project have
opposed inclusion. through their at
torney, F. w. Seabury, Of Browns
vile.
The board has not yet received
ruling from the attorney general as
to priority Of the proposed permit
over existing permits secured since
Franklins presentation three years
ago. The order issued Thursday re-
quires storage Of so per cent or the
water proposed to be taken from
the Rio Grande.
John A. Norris. chairman OF the
water board. said the Franklin
permit has not been granted. He
said the board issued a basic order
recurring so per cent storage as
condition for granting permit, then
directed that Franklin shall make
a showing OF feasibility and capa-
bility of providing that storage be-
fore the permit will be issued. He
will have TO satisfy us on several
particulars as TO feasibility OF this
storage project" Norris said. He
also added that the permit cannot
be issued until it is found precisely
what acreage can be included, and
that no land owner can be brought
into the district against his will.
This was contended by Judge Sea-
bury. attorney for the Guerra dis
trict. in opposing the permit.
