vile over the CAT. lines Monday.

connections and the long time con-
sumed in making this trip.

Although farming methods fol-
lowed in the Valley are different
from those practiced almost every
where else, the work Of an agri-
cultural agent is complicated In this
section. Henry Alsmeyer, who will
soon complete his fifth year as agent
in Cameron county, has by dint Of
hard work and perseverance not only
secured the confidence Of farmers
in his territory, but the respect Of
fellow workers all over the state.
Perhaps the fact that he is q
Valley-reared man has a great deal
to do with his success, but ne always
understood the peculiar problems Of
this section as presented by elm
attic. soil and irrigation conditions.
While the cotton Is still growing.
the agent must begin thinking Of
the winter truck crop and the fruit
and in the winter he is looking
ahead TO summer crops. Thus the
county agent In the Valley has a
n~ever-ending cycle of activity.
Citrus fruit was and Is one OF the
major projects on which he works.
Soil improvement, development of
the poultry industry and develop
ment Of farm boys into leaders are
among the others.
In regard TO citrus. the produc-
ton Of clean fruit has been one OF
the principal detectives. The work
az the agent in convincing growers
that cleaner fruit paws the best re-
turns and in describing proper
methods for securing well-formed
fine appearing fruit as well as good
quality fruit. is evident upon ms
pection Of orchards in this area. The
growers have learned where 10 &c
for their information.
Demonstrations Held
At least two series of citrus dem
on~strations are held annually and
there are three demonstration
orchards in Cameron county. Mr.
Alsmeyer has records OF some grove:
for over five years and his data Is
regarded as most valuable, because
ii is more complete than is possessed
by anyone else. He has a complete
record Of the cost OF producing
fruit.
II IS true that citrus fruit ear bt
grown in the Valley without fertil-
iZing. but it also is true that Il
will grow better II fertilizer is used
Mr.. Alsmeyer believes. His frs
fertilizer project was in the John
and Lowell Clark orchards near La
Feria and there nov are three fer

among the national winners. This
year Herbert Theme Of Highland
made a similar record. The boys are
taught correct methods while still
young, and learn s~elf-reliance the
while.
There are now seven farm boys
clubs in the county with a member
ship OF 1T. The boys all have GER
tain projects and work hard in
achieving success. They r visited
and instructed regularly by the
county agent.
1t is with pride that Mr.. Alsmeyer
points to the soil improvement rec
ord being made in this county. He
began with 100 acres of summer
legumes in 1926 and this summer
well over 1000 acres have been
signed. Most Of the summer legumes
r cowpeas with mellilotus indica
yellow blooming sweet clover in
the ascendency in the winter orch
ard cover crops.
Cover Crops Valuable
Oddly enough. planting Of cover
crops was tried without success in
the county at one time, because the
legumes were plowed under. Now
full benefit Of the heterogeneous plants
is secured because the plants are
disced under after the clover has
partly reseeded itself. Cowpeas also
are disced under except in potato
land where they are plowed under.
Mr.. Alsmeyer has concentrated on
cover crops such as clover and cow
peas because they are more neces-
sary here than in some other sec
tons. Irrigation has a tendency TO
pack the soil and the leguminous
plants counterfeit this. They retain
moisture in the soil and add humus
Some OF the beTefits OF cover crops
may not be evident for years, bu;
they make the trees healthier anc
bear longer.
The Cameron county agent has q
number Of demorIi alton plots ir
addition 10 these already mention
ed. He has plots Of potatoes. cotton
tomatoes and other crops for ex'
pertinent purposes. He has beer

STEWED FRESH FRUIT
SHOULD BE SERVED
IN SUMMER WEATHER
It is a Pleasing Change From
Raw Fruit and Often
More Wholesome

It is often the tendency in sum-
mer to over-indulge in raw fruit.
In many cases an upset digestive
system can be traced to raw fruit.
However, when the fruit is
stewed and sweetened to taste with
sugar, there is less danger of di-
gestive disorders. AS far as taste
appeal is concerned, stewed peaches,
apples, berries, plums and pears are
most enjoyable when chilled and
served for dessert.
In view of the fact that sugar is
now at the lowest price it has been
in a generation, and since fruit is
very abundant, the value of storing
away preserves of all kinds for
winter use should not be overlooked.
Not only is homecoming profitable,
but grocers everywhere are offer
ing splendid bargains in preserved
fruits, jellies and jams.
Pickles and relishes made Of Gu
cumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and
watermelon rind are also economical
to preserve. Their spicy, tart-sweet
goodness encourages the consump-
ton of essential foods such as meat,
fish and vegetables. Good food pro-
notes good health. The Sugar

the gray-blue beam Of light with
which it cuts through the darkness,
the Lindbergh beacon steadily
swept the horizon during the early
morning hours today, the browning
glory of the thirty nine-story
Palmolive building.
The most powerful beacon in the
world, it stands as monument to
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, and
to the late Dr.. Elmer A. Sperry, its
inventor, who died before the mas
terpiece of his genius was COM
pleted.
A dense fog and an error in an
engineering calculation marred the
dedicatory night. The fog limited
the range of mans nearest imita-
ton of the sun, while the angle at
which the powerful rays cleaned
upward further reduced its visi-
bility
The angle at which the beacon
is canted will be lowered tonight,
so that aviators flying at an ordi-
nary height can see it as far away
as $50 or 800 miles on clear nights.
