The Pact of Paris

JAMES KELLY, president of the
- European Christian Endeavor
Union, says that the pact of Paris"
and other agreements to promote
world peace are mere sops for the
gullible
"As far as appearance goes" he
says, "the cause Of peace appears to
have progressed, but war has been
renowned only on scrap Of
paper"
Most things of moral, social, po-
htical consequence are done on a
scrap of paper in the beginning at
least and the late war was really
to determine whether scraps Of pa
per were to be respected.

Total Production Is

Among Three Coun-
ties In District
(Snecial to The Herald)

Especial to The Herald)
SAN BENITO, July 13.-Twenty
thousand bales Of cotton have been
ginned in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley in spite of rains which ham
pered picking in most sections OF
the Valley during the week just
closing.
The estimate for ginnings in the
Valley as a whole were made by Of
ficials Of the Valley Gin company,
after reports had been received
here from most sections of the VAL
ley.
More than a third of the cotton
ginned has been turned out in
Cameron county, reports from va
rious cities in the county indicate.
Total ginnings in San Benito and
vicinity were 3,265 bales. This in
cludes the Los Fresnos, Los IndioS,
Barreda and Lozano gins. The to-
tai for gins in San Benito proper
was 2,068.
Harlingen gins reported a total
Of approximately 1900, including
the surrounding territory, and gins
in other sections of the county
showed sufficient to bring the coun-
ty total up to one-third, or 10000.
Willacy Total
The total in Willacy county is ap-
proximately $500, including gin
nings Saturday. The Friday totals
showed approximately 1900 ginned
in Raymondville, 700 bales ginned
in Lyford, and the remainder in
Sebastian, Lasara, San Perlita, and
other points in the county.
This was said to be a record for
the time Of the year in Willacy
county. Rains have not been as
heavy in that county as in the re-
mainder Of the Valley, and outside
Of considerable areas of dead spots
due to root rot, the cotton in the
county will not be damaged much
by the rains.
Hidalgo county reports ginnings
Of close to one-third the total gin
ned in the Valley, with most of the
ginning centers in the county even
at around 300 or 400 bales each
Some points had reached as high as
OOO OdICo-
Most of the cotton in the county
is late, and considerable portion of
1T has been ruined by the root rot,
large dead spots appearing in many
fields in the county.
Delay Picking
In the opinion of local ginners
the recent rains will prove a detri-
ment. causing a lowering of the
grade Of the cotton, and delaying
the picking considerably.
Heavy rains in most sections of
the Valley during the past few days
have caused considerable DELAY in
picking. Heavy rains fell in prac-
tically all parts of the Valley Sat-
urday. with showers and rains of
considerable proportions falling In
various sections earlier in the week.
A possibility that the rain will
drown large part of the cotton
boil weevils and cotton leaf worms
was considered likely by many gin
ners, which would help the deal
some-at least enough to overcome
disadvantages of the rains.
