GARNER ASKS
TEXAS AID IN
DATECULTURE
Money Needed to Hire
Expert to Develop
Method, Montgom-
cry Is Told In Letter

AUSTIN, May 1l.-Suggestion
that the state of Texas assist in de-
veloping the date growing industry
in South Texas by employing an ex-
pert to develop cultural methods
adapted to this secion is contained
in a letter sent by Congressman
John N. Garner to r. w. Montgom-
cry. representative of idalgO county.
Mr.. Garner suggests that the state
appropriate $1,000 a year for the
purpose and offers to lend any as
sistance possible.
The prospects for growing dates
in Texas are very promising. Garner
says he Is informed by the depart
ment of agriculture. the necessity
for developing a rain resisting varie-
ty being about the only stumbling
block.
In connection with the proposal to
employ the expert. Mr.. Garner says
1850 offshoots of rain resisting
variety of dates soon are to be sent
to Weslaco for planting on the ex-
tension service farm there. The Off
shoots were brought to the United
States from MeSopotamia by men,
bers OF an expedition sent there for
the purpose Of discovering a variety
OF dates likely would be successful
in the Valley.
The expedition was financed with
an appropriation of $4,000 secured
by Congressman Garner and the
offshoots were chosen in section
where the climatic conditions are
very similar to those pertaining in
the Valley.
Mr.. Montgomery pointed out that
approximately 81 100000 pounds OF
dates are consumed annually in the
United States. all but i.000.00C
pounds being imported. The native
dates are grown in Arizona and Cal
ifornia.
The experiment station at Weslacc
has obtained better results with date
culture than any other station ir
the United States, Montgomery says
he is informed.
Mr.. Garner wrote to Representa-
tive Montgomery as follows:
You are familiar with the apprO-
priation that T succeeded in securing
year ago for the pupose of financ-
ing an expedition TO Mesopotamia

Navigation Act Is
Not Aimed At Port,
Judge Dancy ADers

The bill introduced in the legis-
lature at Austin amending the state
law applying to navigation districts,
which would permit funds voted by
one district to be spent in another
district. was not aimed at the
Brownsville district. County Judge
Q. G. Dapcy said Saturday night.
Members OF the local navigation
district commission, on learning
that such bill Ind been introduced
in the house by Representative Polk
Hornaday had expressed the belief
that the bill was intended to nullify
special act legalizing the Browns
vile district. A feature OF this spe-
cial bill Is a clause which requires
that al funds Of the district be ex-
pended within its area for the de-
velopment Of port.
Judge Dancy Saturday night said
the bill had been written by him
and had been introduced by Repre-
sentative Hornaday at his request.
The bill was written and sent TO Aus
tin following a discussion Of the
proposal in an open session Of the
Cameron county commissioners
court which was attended by every
member Of that body. he said. II
was known before Judge Dancy is
sued his statement that Representa-
tive Hornaday had introduced the
bill on request.
How the bill which I drew and
sent to Mr. Hornaday with request
that he have it passed could be con-
strued as an attack on the Browns
vile navigation district is beyond
my comprehension. Judge Dancy
wrote in statement to The Herald.
II drew. the bill and any criticism
should be aimed at me rather than
at MIR. Hornaday.
