mis- attitude was expressed by
Valley irrigation authorities who
5nave returned from Austin. where
tine hearing set for Nav Q on the
Hidalgo application was postponed
until June II, and transferred to
Edinburg.
Inc transfer was made IN view Of
tine fact that practically all Valley
irrigation districts have indicated
they VIII oppose granting of the per-
init, and It was thought more feas-
IDLE Tor the board members to come
70 the Valley, than for the large
number Of Valley people to go to
Austin.
This is the second hearing OF this
Kind scheduled In the Valley. a pre-
vious one having been held about

Prospects that the battle against
the Maverick county district would

has some storage facilities. and also
possibility of agreements on the
time of using water held up action
in this matter.

In the Yturria section where at
present stretches a solid block Of

dreamed would ever be anything

The Yturria district Is probably
the most famed section Of Willacy
county as a watermelon producer.
The Tom Watson Is the variety
mostly grown there as well as in
other sections OF the county.
Last year a total or 800 cars OF
watermelons was shipped from Ray
m~cndville. and 1t has been estimated
that about the same number cars Of
melons was hauled out by truck.
Besides Yturria. SEN Perlita, La
sara and the Hargill district each
have large acreages planted in
watermelons. and the crop through
out the county Is thriving. Plenti-
full rains have fallen, and with a
good season in the ground. this year

The house gave up its usual Sat-

under which the measure Is to be

Under a tentative plan which
emerged late yesterday from
the first Of a series OF republican
conferences looking 70 such an
agreement, the general debate of
amendments will be in order for

passage of the bill was set at May

days later.
An approach toward satisfaction

Watermelon Shipping
To Begin Around May
IS, Willacy County

RAYMONDVILLE. May 11.-Mois-
ture conditions have been excellent
and the present outlook TO a bumper
watermelon crop is beginning 10
loom in this section with only a few
more days left before the crop be-
gins TO move. Shipping is expected
to begin around May IS.
The Raymondville district Is con-
sidered one Of the earliest water
melon producing sections Of the
state. Railroad officials are prepar-
ing to handle at least 1000 carloads
Of the melons before the season
ends. A careful check Of melon
acreage Of Willacy county reveals a
total Of 5000 acres which is divided
into four groups: Yturrla. 2.500
acres: Raymondville. 700 acres: San
Perlita. 1000 acres and Lasara-Har-
gill. 500 acres.
The 1929 watermelon acreage in
Texas is estimated to be SO per
cent Of last season. all districts with
the exception OF Parker and Atlas
coSa counties reporting decreased
acreage. In 1923 approximately $3.50
cars Of watermelonS were shipped

from 30.250 acres. In addition 70
the carload shipments a part of the
crop is moved by truck.
In all sections except the south
ern. growth was retarded due to cool
nights and wet weather but growing
conditions are more favorable at the
present time. Soil conditions are on
the whole over Texas. very good.
In Bee county the recent high winds
caused small melons to drop off the
vines and delayed the crop from one
week to ten days. Wilson county re-
ports indicate that the crop as a
whole is in fine shape and from one
10 two weeks earlier than last sea-
son. IN the Falfurrias- Sandia dis
trict reports are that the crop Is
suffering some damage from insects
with the crop at present in fair
shape. Frio county is getting dry
and rain will be needed in the near
future. The Bellville-C Cat Spring
area reports that the crop is doing
well. Movement from the Poteet

 New FulIback Secured
 One of the big backiield threats in Sundays game is expected to be Appecelli. who has joined the team since the last Williams game. He is a powerful, hard charging fullback. Quinn, who was the biggest threat in the last quarter of the Nutmeg Will Hams game when he threw severai dangerous forward passes, will again be on hand. It is rumored that a forward passing combination ot Quinn and Sullivan will be used il the New Britain line is too heavy.
 A bad break has handicapped tho Williams team. Mclean, former Georgetown university star halfback will be out of the lineup with injur- ies. He was coach for the back. field but with the release of the line coach, Davin, he has taken over the supervision of the entire team.
