PLAN WINTER
SPRAY MOVE
over VALLEY
Spraying Now Is Said
Much More Effective
Than At Any Other
Season
Especial 10 The Herald)

SAN BENIIO, Jan. IA sys-
tematic campaign to induce Lrowers
IN the Lower kio Grande Valley TO
spray their orchards at once is be-
ing launched, inspectors for the state
department Of agriculture announced
To-Day, following conferences with
j.. NJ. Del Curto, state plant pain
ologlst, who was in the Valley ear
lier in the week to attend a green
fruit meeting AT Mercedes.
The meeting Is being waged now
in an effort TO secure the benefits
OF winter spraying, when the trees
are practically dormant, with no
blooms on, and q strong spray can
be used.
spraying at this time is much
more effective than at any other
time of the year, and every grower
should give his orchard a spraying
with as strong a solution as can be
safely used" said E.A. Schattenberg,
member Of the inspection fore .
DIR. Del Curto in discussing the
spraying problem with growers and
others in the Valley expressed the
belief that the time will come when
all Valley growers will have I. spray
carefully, and produce n high quail
ity and good appearing fruit in or
der to compete rs the supply in
creases.
He explained that a compulsory
spraying law would be inadvisable
in some ways at the present time
because the Valley could hardly
stand the expense Of rigid enforce
ment, and said that the packers
soon would be able to demand clean
fruit, as the supply increases, and
that the fruit would have 10 conform
or there would be no market for it.
The three most prevalent scales in
the Valley at the present time are
the California red scale, the purple
scale, and the chat scale, Mr.. Schat-
tenberg explained. The two former
scales are found most extensively in
Cameron county. although they are
also found in Hidalgo county, while
the chat scale is found almost ex-
cluslvely in Hidalgo county.
IF the growers do not spray at
the present time, they will not be
able to do so until in the summer,
because the trees will begin setting
blooms, and it will be impossible u
use a solution strong enough to Sc
cure effective results" Mr.. Schatten-
berg explained.
The campaign Is to be conducted
systematically. a group OF fifty Of
the worst orchards being selected in
each section to begin the work. The
inspectors will make personal inter
views, and information and letters
will be sent out from Austin to these
orchardists, urging them TO spray.
when these fifty have been handled
satisfactorily, the next fifty will be
picked, and so on until all have been
sprayed.

FIND EARTH IS
HUGE DYNAMO
Source of Energy Is Not
Available for Use.

BIZ Science Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The
earth itself is a huge electric dyna-
mo generating enough current to
supply light, heat and other cleo
trical needs to the ten largest cities
in the United States for a least one
million years.
Recent researches on thermal re-
actions inside the earth, conducted
by DR., Ross Gum, civilian scientist
of the Naval research laboratories,
and inventor of short wave oscil-
lator and airplane altimeter that
have been taken up by the radio
and aircraft industries, indicate that
the earth is the greatest known elec-
trical wonder in the universe.
DR.. Gum has published a theo--
retical problem of the earth'S cleo
trical condition showed that the cur
rents generated inside the earth
amount to more than 200,000,000
amperes.
DR.. Gum is careful to emphasize
that this tremendous source of en-
ergy is unavailable for use by man.
Like atomic energy, it will be kept
in Natures storehouse for the use of
the generations of perhaps million
years in the future, he says.

SILENT MAYOR
MAKES GOOD
FOR DETROIT
Public Demands Reticent
Official Make the Race
Again.

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, Sept. 6.-Detroit's ex-
pertinent with silent mayor has
turned out to be such a success that
the automobile capital in all prob
ability will elect John c. Lodge to
succeed himself when his first term
expires next January.
Lodge might be called the man
nobody knows but everybody votes
for. His record is one of the most
amazing in the history of munich
pal government in this country.
He was swept into Office by a ma
iority of 1900 votes in November of
1927 without making so much as
one speech or a single public state
Tnent.
Service Was Drafted
He was drafted by what he likes
TO refer to as the common people"
and elected against an opponent
who had the advantage Of being
Republican mayor in large north
EN- industrial city. The mayor was
John Smith. He came out for lib
eralization Of the prohibition laws
and he and the members of his or
ganization used the radio extensively
for carrying their campaign to the
voters
Everybody had heard of John
Smith, but almost nobody knew
John C. Lodge. He had been a
member of the city council for
some time and was said to be re-
lated to Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh. Reference to family records
developed that he was Lindy's grand
uncle. The famous airman's moth
er is a daughter of Mayor Lodges
sister.
Election Deepens Obscurity
Now that Lodge has held Office
nearly two years the people of De-
troit know even less about him
than they did when he was plain
John Lodge. Instead of raising
him to a prominent place in the
public eye, election to this impor-
tant Office actually deepened his
obscurity. He never makes a
speech, never turns out to welcome
famous visitors to Detroit and is
almost never interviewed.
But every day between 10 a. m.
and 4 p. m. Lodge is at work in
the mayors office and anyone who
wishes to see him can do so there.
Under his administration city i'm
provements have gone forward
steadily and taxes have come
down. The silent mayor who came
into Office without platform (al-
thought $4,000 persons had petit
toned him to make the race has
obtained such good results that he
has been asked to run for re-elec-
ton and has accepted.
Lodge is 81 years old and has
never married

Soviet Literature Is Vigorous
Reaction to NeW Life IN USSR

, the impossible gulf between the two
generations cherishing hostile ideol-
ogies. And with what absence of
tears, wringing of hands, signs and
lamentation. The same emotional
restraint is shown by those study
ing the changing sex and marital
relations. No dilettante freudianism,
nor torturing introspection, no I'M
married fathers, bachelor husbands;
no Qualification nor degradation of
the flesh, no monstrosities like
Janet March," and its like.
Marya, the Bolshevik "a. New
crow does the third act of the
Dolls House all over again. She
leaves her peasant husband to be-
come a Soviet village official. This
peasant Nora causes many a peas
ant woman to stare and wonder.
And the men, like Helmer, begin to
do not little wondering themselves.
Such miracles as these they have
not experienced heretofore.
In "Black Fritters" (P. Romanov)
it is the husband who quietly closes
the door on his peasant wife whose
interests are centered chiefly in the
calving of her COW, Lyska. He
shares his life with a quiet, hard
working girl-comrade, and his wife,
despite her intention to raise vio-
lent storm, gives him and his girl
comrade a present of fritters in
stead. So she leaves as she came,
wondering, irresolute, and yet i'm
pressed with that something that is
great and new, but which she does
not and cannot understand.
The best story is "Azure Cities.
Here we have the Destoievski touch;
Buzheninov bears a close resemb-
lance to Raskolnikov. A romanti-
cist, living only in his fantasies, he
is unable to effect anything of the
slightest concrete value.
But Comrade Khotzaintsev cor
rectly tells him: "When you are in
the saddle, rifle in hand, that hour of
the Revolution is lived on nerves,
on emotions, on enthusiasm. But
now harness that battle h rse to the
plough-that's hard-just every day
labor and sweat. In the end there
is more courage needed to sell dough-
nuts on the marketplace than to
rush with the naked blade into the
attack. You must sweep out the
townspeopIe with muslin and books,
and the theatre and the club and the
tractor"
Razkolnikovism does not dominate
this superb short story, but is re-
placed by the patient realism and
intelligence of a Comrade knot
zntsev.
No murky introspection, no pessi-
mism-but youth, strength, courage,
relentless facing of the facts, when
building social, not anti-social civil
ization--it is this spirit and phil
osophy that suffices the pages of the
newer Russian writers.

Mans Estate, NeW Comedy
Presented at the BtltmOre

THE Theatre Guild presented its
fifth production of the season.
MANS Estate" a comedy by Bruce
Gould and Beatrice Blackmar, at the
Biltmore Theatre.
A story of life in small western
town, it is always interesting and
keeps the audience on the alert dur
ing the three acts. With the usual
capable Guild cast and direction, it
develops into a play that is worth
while seeing. Although it does not
eXpound any new ideas, being con-
cerned with the usual youthful love
affair, the fine manner of its pres
entation brings it to a compare
lively high level.
Jerry Jordan, who hopes 10 be-
come famous architect, spends an
evening in the moonlight in the
company of Sesaly Blaine. Shortly
afterward, Sesaly has a fainting
spell and discovers that she is GO
ing to have a baby. Of course, her
boy friend, Jerry, is the father
When Pa and Ma Jordan are told
about it, they make lot of noise
and arrange for an immediate wed.
ding between the boy and girl.
After the wedding Sesaly states
that she had her fingers crossed
during the ceremony and therefore
she does not consider it binding
She returns the ring to Jerry and
tells him to continue his studying
She adds if later he feels that he
actually loves her then they will
live together. 1t is arranged that
Sesaly is to go to Europe while
Jerry will continue his college edu-
cation which will prepare him for a
great future as an architect in New
York. Jerry suddenly decides that
he loves Sesaly and asks her to live
with him Immediately. He says he
will study evenings, taking a SAC
week job to keep them going.
Inc play is typical slice OF
middle class life in the United
States. 1t is realistic and truthful
in its portrayal. The fear of dis
covery fingers constantly in the
minds of the petty-bourgeois people
with whim the play is concerned.
Margalo Gilmore gives an admir-
able performance as Sesaly. Hel
acting is restrained, yet dynamic
whenever necessary. The part of
Jerry is also we'll handled by Earle
Larimore. Others in the cast include
Dudley Digges, who staged the play;
Edward Pawley, Elizabeth Pater-
son and Edward Favor.
Although slightly different from
the usual run of Guild plays, it is a
play they need not be ashamed Of.
