Slow Valley
Cotton Crop Picking

SAN BENITO, June 12.-Con-
tinued heavy rains lead cotton ex-
perts here to believe that cotton
picking in the Valley is not likely
to start until the middle OF next
month. The crop will be delayed
in maturing SO much that any
earlier picking Is not anticipated.
Unless rains cease the cotton
crop in the Valley will be material
ly damaged, local growers think.

RECORD RISE
IS PREDICTED
FOR RIVER
Warnings Are Issued
Growers But No
Danger Seen

Fear that within the next "a hours
| the Rio Grande river would reach
the highest mark in its history was
expressed Thursday by Government
forecaster w. j. Schnurbusch, OF
Brownsville, who reported that a
rise Of better than 5 feet had been
reported at Rio Grande City since
Wednesday morning.
The record height Of 18.6, set In
June OF 1925, VIII probably be ex-
ceeded by the present flood. he said
The high water 10 days ago was the
highest recorded by government Of
ficials since 1927. it was disclosed.
A rise OF GA feet was shown at
San Benito during the past "a
hours. Mr.. Sc~hnurbusch stated. The
markings there show 2l.8 feet to-
day, or within a few inches Of the
flood stage.
Rising Here
At Brownsville the river has
reached a height of l5.5 feet with
a flood stage Of IS feet. The latter
mark will be reached within the
next II to "a hours, 1t was predict
ed.
AT Rio Grande City water in
sight this morning Cl6 feet will
cause dangerous stages in the VAL
ley from about M>Scedes down TO
the mouth Of the river during the
next - TO "a hours" the official
report reads. The dangerous stages
will be reached unless the river rises
several feet higher at Rio Grande
City today, which will cause the
water to leave the main stream by
the upper floodways a Mission"
1T is hard to predict the action
Of the Rio Grande," Mr.. Schnur-
busch said. Flood rises differently
every time II comes This time,
however. I believe IL is safe to pre-
dict t-at there will be plenty of
breaks. most Of them on the other

however. that this flood would be
no more dangerous, because the

have been issued to farmers and
others living on the river banks.
Everything possible will be done to

All Seats Created Equal

1t is now conceded that candi-
dates for U. S. Senator spend
more than $25O,000 in nominating
primaries. An equal amount, and
perhaps more, is expended during
election campaigns. The total, OF
more than 100000 for a Senate
seat, is about equal to the price
paid for a seat on the New York
Stock Exchange. Whether sympa-
thetic or coincidental these prices
or values, indicate the character of
paternalism that farmers and

economic relief. Why not take a
