The March term Of court which

GOOD COTTON
ON INCREASE
More Than 100000 Acres
Devoted to Growing Sim
gle Varieties

COLLEGE STATION. MAY IL
More than a quarter million acres
arc devoted to the growing Of single
varieties of cotton on the commun-
ity Standardization plan this year.
this acreage being divided among
1918 farmers in lis communities in
80 Texas counties. This Informal
ton on the progress Of the move TO
increase cotton growing profits by
concentration OF varieties has been
gathered by e. A. Miller. agronomist
in the Extension Service. from
missionaries sent county agents.
The decline in quality of Texas
cotton brought about by increases
in planting seed of poorer grades
and staples will seriously affect the
cotton farmer unless checked" Mr..
Miller declares. 1T Is difficult for
an individual farmer TO secure a
premium for superior cotton. but
when an entire community grows
one good variety enough volume is
obtained to permit pooling and sale
according to grade and staple. Last
year premiums from such cotton
averaged about $685. per bale.
"The acreage in standardized
community cotton has almost
doubled this year v e last. Data
from county agents show that there
are now 81 gins in the state devoted
entirely to the ginning Of a single
variety. and that Al gins plan
special gin DAYS for the standard
lied cotton. This is important in
order to avoid admixture Of seed
and cotton from inferior varieties
and to reduce the losses from gin
cut cotton. The advantages of keep
ing seed pure and reducing gin cut
cotton are almost as important
gains from Standardization as the
premiums obtained.
This year % communities plan
TO pool their cotton for sale. and IL
expect TO market partly al least

GARNER SEEKS
TO AID ALIEN
Congressman Asks That
They Be Not Jailed In
Awaiting Deportation
By X T.. SEXTON

WASHINGTON. May lin an
effort to relieve the crowded condi-
ton Of jails in Mexican border
counties. into which hundreds Qf
Mexican aliens are reported to have
been crowded to await deportation
proceedings or prosecution under
the revisions Of the act passed by
the 10th congress, Rep. John N.
Garner has suggested to the immi-
grafton bureau and department OF
justice that recommendations be
presented for an appropriation to
provide housing facilities.
Alfonso S. Ferales. McAllen attor-
ney. organizer of the Latin Ameri-
can league on the border. and at
present a member Of the Bolivia
Paraguay commission, Is co0perat-
ing with Rep. Garner in this effort.
In a letter addressed TO William
D.. Mitchell. attorney general. Gar
ner stated that many complaints
are being received relative to con-
ditions in border counties where, I
am informed. hundred Of Mexican
aliens are being detained for de-
portation proceedings under the
provisions Of the act passed by the
10th congress and approved March
4, 1929.
ITO the numerous smugglers,
bootleggers and others held as fed
eral prisoners in the jails of the
border counties is added the aliens
against whom proceedings have
been instituted under the new law.
In fact the new law has created a
condition which. I believe. calls for
immediate action.
"As I understand IL. as soon as
the warrant of deportation Is issued
these aliens are turned over to the
department Of justice for prosecu-
ton. In former years they were
deported Immediately.
Il would suggest that the de-
partment make recommendations
for an appropriation to provide
such housing conditions as viii re-
lieve a situation which. apparently.
is imposing undue hardship upon
hundreds Of aliens"
In a communication to Harry T..
Hull. commissioner general OF inn
migration, Rep. Garner called his
attention to paragraph /. subdivi-
sion X Of the immigration laws
Of Marcht1 I. 1927. which provides:
When 1t Is necessary to detain
or hold arrested women and girls
they shall not be i~ncarcerated by
immigration officials in jails or
other similar places unless such in
generation is absolutely unavcid-
| able"
In urging immediate action. by
the immigration officials, he said:
II trust your department will make
thorough investigation Of this con-
dition and would suggest that II
additional housing facilities are re-
quired that recommendations to
that effect be presented"

series of articles prepared by the
National Association Of Real
Estate Boards to be published
weekly in this newspaper for the
information Of its readers on real
estate matters.
Most heirs waste what they get
unless it Is invested in real estate,
SAYS Nathan William MacChesney
general counsel for the National
Association OF Real Estate Boards.
And other people share this view
points out the association, for the
probate court of Cook county, Ill
in charge of estates left TO minors
and insane persons, directs that
much Of such funds, amounting TO
millions of dollars yearly. be in
vested in real estate securities
The law of most states protects
minor children and persons men
tally incompetent by requiring
that their guardians or conserva-
tors apply to the courts Of probate
for permission to invest their es-
tates; and the probate court OF
Cook county, the largest probate
court in the country, has placed
properly secured real estate mort
cages and bonds high on its list OF
approved investments. says the as
ISOLATION in its weekly lesson Tor
property owners.
Boys under twenty-one and girls
under eighteen who are heirs to
or recipients Of money must have
guardians TO administer their al
fairs, and insane people unable to
manage their own estates must
have "conservators"; but these
managers must take their orders
from the bench"
For fifteen years experienced
and cautious Judge Henry Horner,
presiding over the probate court at
Chicago, has permitted the estates
OF the young and the weak to be
invested in only three classes OF
securities, as follows:
First, real estate mortgages,
notes or bonds where the real es-
tate and its improvements are dou-
bic the value Of the bond issue or
note indebtedness. In other words,
IL the bond issue on a certain pro-
ject is 5 1000. 900, Judge Horner's
appraisers require that the land
and building on it r worth ST.
600 600.
This Illinois court takes this
precaution on behalf OF its chill
dren and its incompetentS to pro-
tect the investments made for
them. No matter what happens
to a real estate project. it is al
ways worth half OF its original
value. says the Chicago Judge, I'M
der whose jurisdiction millions of
dollars in estates of minors and
incompetents have been invested
without the loss of a cent In prin-
ciple or interest.
Second: u. s. government bonds.
Third: State or county bonds,
and municipals of prosperous COM
munities. Judge Horner will not
with a. house or two erected on a
prairie which some promoter has
called a village.
The second and third classifica-
tons Of securities described above
find favor with the court because.
although interest rates are low.
they are tax exempt under the fed
eral income tax laws: and in very
large estates this factor often off,
sets the smaller returns.

In the communities where one
finds a large percentage Of goreign-
speaking children. the general opin-
ion is that the foreign speaking child
lacks the English background and
therefore cannot be expected to do
as well as the English-speaking
child. Particularly il this attitude
prevalent when the Spanish-speak-
ing boy or girl is to be educated.
The writer together with several
members of his faculty. set up q
brief vocabulary experiment in or
der TO determine the degree OF truth
in this commonly accepted principle.
The procedure in making this
study was ss follows: Two equal
groups Of third graders English
speaking and Spanish-speakingl,
were asked to write a letter to a
friend in the North setting froth the
various things Of interest concern
ing Brownsville. The day before
these letters were written the SUI
p~ervisor visited both groups Of chill
dren and discussed with them some
Of the things which might well 90
into a letter Of this type. An outline
was placed on the blackboard listing
data which might be of interest TO
their little friends in the North.
The next day the supervisor again
appeared before the two groups of
children and the pupils wrote their
letters during a thirty-five minute
period. Assistance vas given in
spelling in order that the child
might freely use his entire oral
vocabulary. In other words. every
thing was done TO facilitate q free,
unrestricted letter.
The results of the experiment re-
vealed the following.

These data seem TO indicate that
perhaps We have over-eStlmated the
language handicap of Spanish
speaking children. The difference Of
1919 running words between the two
groups is hardly worth mentioning.
The disagreement between the
groups. especially in the number Of
different words used in the compo-
sition. also indicates that perhaps
we have drawn a conclusion too
quickly. relative to the ability OF
Spanish-speaking children to write
the English language. The writer
does not contend that the language
difficulty to Spanish-speaking chill
dren Is not a problem. but does mold
that perhaps we need to analyze
more carefully our general opinions.
Running words refer to all the
words that appear in the letter, ir-
respective OF their frequency.
