the effect that 100000 saving
would result from the adoption of
the merger agreement submitted to

from General Patrick as well.
Ralph B. Fleharty, peoples cotin.

0ssap the matter of the commission
Ia EsaNa to grant the request of the

"a Investigation into the operating
expenses of the companies.
Not Qualified For Probe
Fleharty explained that his office

sistant and tfSat neither Is an expert
accountant qualified to make the
Investigation necessary. He init
mated that the failure of the COM
mission to grant the appropriation
had handicapped the presentation
of the peoples case.
Hartman was apparently aroused
ut this Implication and quested as
to what an Investigation might
have been expected to show. Fleh-
#rty declared thai he had been

the companies could have effected
substantial savings in operating ex.
penses.

A SPECIALIST
BUT

Says Sid Sherwood

A specialist Is one who operates
In g narrow field or who may
be said to know 4 great deal
about a very little. A generalist
is one who operates in a wide
field or who may be said to
know very little about very
much. The tendency is to
specialize. Therefore, the special.
list gets to know more and more
about less and less, and the
generaiist less and less about
more and more. Eventually the
specialist will know everything
about nothing and the generaist

HARLINGEN, July 30.-While

Longoria, deputy sheriff stationed
here, insists that John Saul,
Brownsville border patrol officer,
be crowned as the champion
sprinter of the law enforcement
groups along the border.
Saul won his spurs when he was
with Longoria and J. r. Brady,
another border patrol officer, on
a raid near here.
The officer came upon five men
whom they arrested for drunken
ness and disturbing the peace.
Longoria caught one Of the men,
a little distance away, and Brady
corralled three of them, while an
other one broke into a flying dash
for freedom, through the brush.
Saul gave chase, and the race
waxed hot. Longoria attempted to
enter it, but his prisoner objected,
setting his feet every time Lon
goria tried to run, so the officer
had to drag him.

ROTATION
FARM SUBJECT
Speaker Discusses Practical
Value In Short Course
Program Lecture

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July
3O.-Crop rotation is becoming OF
increasing Importance On many
Texas farms, not only because OF
it's value in producing larger yields
but for various other practical rea-
o n also, E. A. Miller, agrOnomlst
of the Extension Service, A. and M.
College of Texas, pointed out IN
addressing the farm crops division
Of the Farmers Short Course here
Monday. Advantages Of a good ro-
tation or cropping system, in ad-
dition to increased yields to the
acre, we're cited by Mr.. Miller as
follows: Aid in the control Of in
sect pests and plant diseases, help
in keeping down weeks, use Of a
legume or soil building crop such
as cowpeas, soy beans, sweet clover
and the like, and better distribution
Of labor on the farm.
Experiments by the Texas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at the
blackland Substation neal Temple
showed big increase in acre yield
and the largest net profits in the
rotation of cotton, corn and oats,
MI. Miller said. In this rotation
he added, "the average yields to
the acre over a period Of 10 years
were 276 pounds of lint cotton, 34.3
bushels Of corn and 80 bushels of
oats as contraSted with 142 pounds
Of lint cotton, 1913 bushels Of corn
and 27.3 bushels Of oats with con-
tinuous cropping. Every acre in
the rotation made an average profit
Of $3.50 whereas continuous cotton
made only $7.33 profit an acre"
A four year rotation Of cotton,
cowpeaS, corn and oatJ at the main
station at College Station, produced
an average annual yield over a per-
iod Of Is years of 223 pounds of
lint cotton, while cotton planted
on the same land year after year
made only 1872 pounds to the acre,
the speaker said. The results of
these and other experiments cited
prove conclusively that a farmer
can well afford to establish a good
cropping system, he added in con-
cluSiOn,
