Especial to The Herald.O

TO lie heralQ
SAN BENTTO. May 2S.-It Is
hoped this month to surpass the
1929 legume acreage in Cameron
County. Henry Alsmeyer, county
farm agent, reported today. The
total to date Is 1850 acres and IL
is hoped TO pass the 3,ili IL acre
mark, set In 1929, by the end OF
May. There were only 1900 acres
planted in 1923.
Many are planting legumes who
never planted them before. Mr..
Alsmeyer stated. II is his desire not
only to exceed last years record
but to take the lead in the entire
state. Mr.. Alsmeyer has no doubt
but that the record will be broken
this year but he would like 20 see
1t happen before the end OF this
month
The largest individual acreage In
the county TO be planted 10 legumes
is 700 by Baker-Potts Nursery.
1T has been demonstrated time
and time again that legumes such
as yellow blooming sweet clover,
cowpeas. and others. not only keep
the soil in better condition but add
nitrogen to 1t and helps II retain
moisture.

How to Vote

Explanation of how to vote for the port issue is
hereby given by members of the Brownsville Navigation
Commission.
To comply with all laws the wording of the ballot
appears twice reading the same. The proper way to
vote is to cut out two lines. For instance to vote for the
bonds draw a line through both the lines beginning
with the word against. The ballot follows, marked
RIGHT.

BROWNSVILLE should not be and
m is not ashamed Of its census
count of 22.050. II had hoped
for $4,000 and actually 1t has that
many. There are more than 5000
persons living in the Immediately
adjacent suburbs.
Someday these 5000 and many
more thousands will be moved into
the city The port will do that.

nNE bill OF vital interest to the
Valley seems likely now TO fail
OF passage at this session of
Congress. II is the Harris-Box mea-
sure which would restrict immigra-
ton from NIexico TO between $4,000
and $1,000 a year.
The legislation has passed the
Senate but opposition to 1t BY the
STATE department, Congressman Gar
ner and others. 1t now seems, may
be strong enough to prevent a vote
in the House. Those Valley citizens.
the Rio Grande Valley. Inc, and
the legislators in Washington who
have been battling the measure de-
serve much credit for delaying ac-
ton as long as they have. A big
majority Of members Of the House
want the bill passed.

THOSE few who are opposing is
suance of the bonds must not
realize what a port, a deep wat
er port, means - a city. They have
closed their eyes to the fact that
without ports. Houston, Galveston
and Corpus Christi probably would
be Of little consequence.
When deep water reaches Browns
Vile, It still will remain the metrop-
oils Of the Valley but will become
also one OF the metropolises OF South
Texas. Traffic attracts more traf-
fic and progress attracts people and
wealth.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-05-28

vTTHILE Brownsville is forging
w ahead, the other cities Of the
Valley will keep pace. Ports will
help them do this. Energy and con-
fidence, which they already have
in ABUNDANCE. will help them keep
the ball Of progress moving.
There isn't a slowly growing town
in the Magic Valley and there isn't
room for ne. It is doubtful that
one could be that way The spirit
OF this country would carry it along.

rREIGHTERS will not be the only
sort Of ships sailing in and out
Of Port Brownsville and Port
Isabel. There will be passenger
boats, many Of them. Rich men in
small yachts and richer men in big
yachts will come to fish and play
and spend money.
The coastline will be dotted with
winter cottages. Hotels will be
built. The Valley will soon become
what Il should be - a leading winter
resort. The tourist crop is the VAL
ley's greatest undeveloped industry.

IN OUR
VALLEY
BY THE FIREMAN uzz=

TOMORROW the jubilant and
loyal voters Of Brownsville will
60 TO the polls and cast an over
whelming majority In favor OF the
issuance of 81, SOC. 900 worth OF bonds
for the port.
They are jubilant because passage
OF the port bill now definitely is as
sured and that means a bigger. bet
ter and happier town. They are
loyal because they always have been
and realize that loyalty and unity
make for progress and prosperity.
Without them any town and any
section will stand still.
livery citizen who Is eligible TO
vote should cast his ballot for
the bonds. There Is not a poe
textbook in Brownsville which will
not be fattened when the port be-
comes a reality.
But that Is not all. Growers and
shippers in the adjacent territory
and on UP the Valley will save mon
ey and make money. Boats will
sail out OF the harbors at Browns
vile and Point Isabel carrying pro-
ducts 70 all ports of the world.
