CITRUS TO TAKE
COTTON'S PLACE
Ginners At Mission Believe
Crop Shortly Will Be Cut
In Half
Especial to The Herald)

MISSION, April 19.-That the gold
Of citrus will soon displace the white
of cotton is evidenced in a survey
just completed, which reveals that
citrus paintings in the vicinity of
Mission this year will cut in half the
cotton acreage of last year.
The concensus of opinion of Mis-
sion ginners indicates that the cot
ton ginnings this year will be almost
so per cent less than those Of last
year. E. S. Taylor, manager of the
Valley Gin company, expressed the
belief that citrus was rapidly dis
placing cotton. stating that unpre-
cedented increase in citrus plantirgs
had cut local cotton acreage in two.
He said the trend vas more pro-
nounced in this territory than in
any other section of the Valley, in
dicating that Missions citrus de-
velopment is advancing more rap
idly.
Frank Dudley. manager of the
Growers gin, is Of the same opinion
as Mr.. Taylor. He says, however.
that a much more staple cotton is
being planted this year, insuring
better quality. Mr. Dudley said the
season would be about 20 days late
this year and that he did not antici-
pate the first ginnings until about
July 20.
T. z. Ross and T. ]. Keltner. Mis-
sion farmers. raised the first bale of
cotton produced in the world last
year. The bale was ginned by the
Bridges gin here. Keen competition
is expected to develop for this honor
this var.
Officials Of the Missouri Pacific
railroad report that 5000 bales of
were SHIPPED out of Mission
last year. Ginnings Of Missions five
gins last year follow: Valley Gin.
| 1852 bales: Growers Gin. 1414 bales:
Farmers Gin. 1895 bales: Mission
Gin. 1,265 and the Border Gin. LOO

HOUSE PUSHES
! FARM MEASURE
House Leaders Believe Their
Measure Suits President
Hoover

WASHINGTON April 1e.-P-
Although the senate was In adjourn
rnent until Monday. the wheels of
congress were gathering momentum
Today for the fulfillment of one of
The PRINCIPAL purposes for which It
was caliAa into special session.
Operating under rules limiting
general debate to the remainder of
this week, the house planned to
have its farm relief bill advanced
10 the stage where amendments may
be considered Monday.
Leaders did not look for trouble
In speeding passage of the bill to
arise Immediately out of the i'm
pending struggle over incorporation
In it Of an export debenture provi-
SION. The strongest center Of sup
port for that proposal seemed, for
The present at any rate, to be in
the senate, where it was included
In the tentative draft of the farm
relief bill introduced yesterday by
CIldl HAL NC4NdIy db JIlC OACCUlOAL
Of the senate agriculture commit
tee.
Groundwork for opposition to that
move, however, was laid in the OPP
ening discussion in the house, where
the leaders are convinced their
measure Is more nearly in accord
with the views of President Hoover
than the bill which the senate COM
mittee favored. Speakers indicated
clearly that If the senate should ap-
porve the debenture plan provision,
It would be opposed as revenue"
legislation which the house alone
has the right to originate.
The house ways and means COM
r1ittee was called to consider It's
draft Of another Of the major items
on the administration program for
the special session-the tariff re-
vision bill, which President Hoover
wants to see confined to schedules
affecting agriculture and a few
other sections and administrative
provisions. The COMMITTEES had be-
fore 1t q series of recommendations
from the tariff commission intend
ed to facilitate the work OF reach
ing decisions or rate changes under
the flexible provisions Of the tar
IF act.

AMARILLO TO
PAY TROUPERS
$500 Too Trivial q Sum to
Argue Over, Mayor of
City Declares

AMARILLO, Texas, April 1e.-E1
Amarillo business men have decided
to be good sports and give the Chi
cago Grand Opera company it's
pound of flesh" but they still are
not convinced the opera company
gave them both barrels of That's"
here a month ago.
The remaining $4,000 which we
owe under terms of our guarantee
to the Chicago company is too tri-
vial to argue over" said Mayor Err
nest Thompson, who previously had
dared the company 70 u him and
is other guarantors. I'VE will pay
it, regardless of whether we made
a bad deal"
Decision Of the business men TO
pay off apparently closes a contro-
versy which began after the opera
company played a one-night stand
here. Editor Gene Howe of the
Globe-News, one of the guarantors
and an opera enthusiast, started it
with a whitening blast against Mary
Garden and her troupe, charging
the local performance of That's wa
bob-tailed and the principals saved
their voices, if any.
Mary Garden replied in person.
and several of her remarks were I'M
complimentary. She not only denied
the performance had been curtailed
but implied Mr.. Howe was seeking
publicity.
In last nights statement Mayor
Thompson reiterated his confidence
in Howe's judgment of opera. good
and bad, and repeated the charge
that the ballet given in conjunction
with That's" was not the one for
which the Chicago company IS ia
nous, but merely some dancing in
costumes, comparable to dancing
seen in any vaudeville house"
