The Valley League

The movement inauGurated by a number " the
leading baseball enthusiasts 10 organize a Valley
league TO be composed Of six clubs, should have the
unqualified support of Valley residents, regardless Of
whether they reside in the towns which will be repre-
sented in the lesge.
The Valley deserves and should Rave organized
baseball this wear. For several wears past sporadic
efforts have been made T. organize Valley leagues; and
while they have not been entirely destitute n success,
the failure on the part of some ~ the leading cities.
including Brownsville, 70 participate, has resulted IN
. lack Of interest that seriously affected the financing.
The Lower Rio Grsnde Valley is, 70 a certain extent,
isolated from the major baseball eenters Of Texas.
That the Valley has many devotses of the game is
denoted BY the enthusiasm that even the "sandlot"
variety Of baseball will arouse. II is safe 70 forecast
that with six Of the Valley towns in the league, a sat
isfsetory schedule arranged and the teams providing J
good brand Of the national snort, Il will not take many
weeks to place the organization upon 2 solid financial
basis.
There i another factor that should Re considered
IN this connection. The Valley cities need something
20 take their minds off their commercial rivalries.
something that will eliminate to a certain extent the
lack Of friendly relations, the result of business rival
sies. politics and other factors which contribute to
cause dissession. Nc better remedy for this condition
could be found than organization 81 = Valley baseball
league and the transfer q these rivalries to the attn
ietic fields.
The Herald believes a baseball league would be one
of the best investments for the Valley. IN addition 70
providing the great American sport for the spring and
summer months, IL would be the means OF drawing the
Valley towns into a closer bond. Many Of our mag
mary differences and useless controversies could be
worked out while cracking peanuts in the bleachers or
eheerfully eriticizing the judgment Of the umpire on
. close decision.

The World and All
q SAY. CAN YOU BROOK:
By Charles p. Driseon

An editorial in the New York Times told US re-
Gently that Commander Byrd brooked no delay when
he got to the big ice country. He went flying al once.
Somehow. this statement flashed pictures before
my Imagination. There was the handsome commander,
sitting in his cabin. as the ship neared the main. He
was smoking a cigarette. ! fancy. He was talking to
h- boatswain's mate.
viii you brook a little delay when we reach the
shore, commander" says the bosun's mate.
81 don't think so. ] never was very good at brook
ing. Especially delays. I brooked an elephant once,
in India, or maybe it was in Thibet. I have brooked
some Of the most prominent bores in the world. and a
couple II times I got 20 brooking and ~brooking in New
York. and IL took up all my time. A friend Of mine
runs 4 brooking agency in Philadelphia, where the at
~mosphere seems 70 Re- about right for that kind Of
thing. and I have turned all my brokerage over to him.
Anyone VINO comes 70 me for . brook or two. I refer
to my brookinz agent. No, / shsnt brock delay, even
a little bit"
GAY. az, sirl"
And the bosun's mate goes aft to inform the execu-
tive officer that the commanders expected brooking
# delay has been cancelled.
When they got ashore Cor do they say sice down
there, where they're not 20 sure about the shore p
there was undoubtedly delay. II took time to get the
~airplans unlosded, limbered up, and ready for flight.
Then the boys had to get their parkas on right, and I
suppose the official movie and still men hustled around
and got some good pictures Of them standing beside
the plane and getting into It.
But all this delay went unbrooked.
Somehow my unreasoning fascination for nonsens-
ical words, and vice versa, makes me wonder what
would have happened to the delay il il had been eff
cially brooked.
And that leads on to the general question Of brook
ing in all its forms. We have all heard. as long as
We can remember, Of generals and sdmirals and kings
who wouldn't brook delay. They are generous enough
about b~rooking ~open-face sneering, smoking in sleva-
tors, and the fall Of the franc. but delay seems to be
the one element that no powerful person will ever
brook. Try il on your iceman. Warn him that you
won't brook his delays any more, and see what happens.

Compulsory inspection

+ General interest has been created among the win
ter vegetable growers and shippers ~ the announce
ment that the Rio Grande Valley Potato Growers as
ISOLATION will seek enactment n a compulsory inspec-
tion measure carrying . county option clause. the meas
ure to apply 10 potatoes only. The proposed lew en-
powers the commissioners court to apply and enforce
compulsory inspection, contract with the state and
federal departments for inspection and 20 collect all
fees and authorize such disbursements as necessary.
The measure is an innovation and will he a distinct
departure from all former inspection laws il I'll states
being the first Of the kind carrying the county option
feature and extending authority "a the county gov
eminent to supervise its application and enforcement
The suggestion has been made ~ leading shippers
and growers that the scope Of the measure be ex-
tended to cover all vegetable and fruit shipments from
the Valley, and attorneys have expressed the opinion
this could be done by either amending the bill or by
Introduction Of similar measures covering other com
modities. In discussing this phase, Il was the opinion
of directors Of the potato association that the bill
should be drawn 70 cover the potato deal only, and Il
growers Of other vegetables desired similar inspection
IL could be arranged.
Several unsuccessful efforts have been made 70 ar
ply U. S. grades and secure inspection On Valley vege-
table shipments. Lack of success may be attributed 70
lack Of organization on the part Of both growers and
shippers. However, the plan upon which the potato
growers are working neeessitates no organization other
than would be necessary to impress upon the commits
sioners' courts that the county interested should take
advantage OF the county option provision. n other
words, IL the growers and shippers want inspection
their commissioner courts should have mr. hesitancv
in supplying IL. without this feature IN the bill AZ
would be necessary 20 perfect a working organization
OF shippers and growers. which would be, 70 say the
least. an arduous task in the Valley.
Apparently, it is the consensus among leading
growers, shippers and receivers that the Lower Ria
Grsnde Valley should apply the Y. S. grades on both
vegetables and fruit, and all shipments made under
certificstion. Adoption Of the grades would remedy
the present chaotic condition. would eliminate ship
ments Of inferior OF immature products, and would
have q tendency 70 strengthen the demand for Valley
vegetables and fruit.
II the growers Of the Valley desire to establish
compulsory inspection they should act nov. Enact.
nent Of a measure containing a county option clause
would give them the power, through their commits
sioners' courts. TO apply inspection to such commodi-
ties as may be deemed necessary. However the ex-
perienes Of Northern and Eastern growers would indi-
cate that once compulsory inspection Is established
the growers will be the last to request It's removal.

Federal Road Aid

In the last ten years, according e the American
Automobile Association, the federal government has
spent s614.OoO,oOo for roads. This averages slightly
less than SO each per year for TIE motor vehicles now
In operation.
There is no more profitable way Of spending public
funds than in scientific highway building and it is
10 be hoped that, in the future, the government will
continue expenditures for roads rroportionate TO the
national income and the need for such improvements.
Highways attract industry and trade. develop agrcul-
tural districts and advance our economic and social
civilization.
Probably no materials have been more essential 70

Congress. As matter Of policy in connection with
any farm relief legislation considered at an extra ses-
sion. should decline to authorize additional projects
for the reclamation Of arid lands.
There now are under the direction Of the bureau
Of reclamation, department Of interior, nearly $4,000
acres already producing which last year were valued
at S1SS.000000 TO compete with the surplus raised by
farmers not subsidized by the government. The re-
volving fund of the reclamation bureau now exceeds
sl66,o0o,000 and is being constantly augmented by
funds from sale 70 public lands and royalties from
government oil lands and other sources in a sum ex-
ceeding sio,Ooo,Oo0 per year, which Is all available for
new construction.
There are bills pending in congress involving ey-
%penditure Of a sum greater than the cost Of the PAN
ANA Canal to reclaim additional millions of acres.
While the policy Of the department Of agriculture is tc
curtail production. the policy Of the department of
interior is to reclaim these new lands and increase
production. The government has been unable to find
settlers for not a few Of its projects already con-
these lands that settlers with sufficient capital 10
proceed cannot be had.
notwithstanding the government abandoning all in.
terest charges and frightening payment periods. there
is little hope that any Of the projects will ever pay
back to the government the money expended in con
structing the reclamation works. Under existing con-
ditions, the government should not contemplate ex-
penditureS to reclaim the available areas under pro-
iects like Boulder Dam and Columbia River Basin, but
should hold in reserve such vast resources for devsl-
opment in the future when actually needed. A
