IN OUR

BY c. NJ. HALL

THE engineer OF this column has
really been living in Texas too
long to talk about u. but it looks
Ike IL Is all over. Over until we
need it real bad again.
Drove out q bit yesterday and saw
people sprinkling poison ON the cot
ton to feed stray insects on, and
really 1t should not be long before
this first bale agony IS over with.

But We are merely whispering this
for fear the clouds viii hear us.
II OOKS like the time has about
passed 10 do any further prog
n~oSticating about when the sen
ate will vote on the port but the
fact remains that it now appears
some action will be forthcoming at
an early date.
Wire from Washington last night
said that quick action is now hing
ing around and amendment a senate
group IS working on. which those
supposed TO know o say will iron
out the differences on the Illinois
waterways project.
This same wire predicted a vote
Thursday or Friday. but il seems too
short a time to so quickly work out
a difference. But that is the only
contention now left in the matter,
and it is said the proposed amend
ment will be agreeable TO all in
terestS.
CALLED up z. A. Rosenthal and
4. asked him what he thought
about II. and he said any
amendment to any Illinois project
would be acceptable down in the
Valley. We agree - thoroughly.

mission Of which Mr.. Rosenthal is
chairman Is still working along at
tempting TO have the right OF way
ready. Once in a while they strike
a snag. but Mr.. Rosenthal seemed
TO think that the money from the
government will soon be the only
thing to worry about.
Our idea is that II no deficiency

is for us TO act like Harlingen and

Three Hundred Acres
Covered in Half
An Hour

Exit the Anticipated methods OF
agriculture formerly used in the
Valley, and enter the most modern
in existence.
Recent rains In this section have
made boil weevil and leaf worms
deadly enemies to the cotton crops,
seriously e~ndangering a successful
yield, but the arrival Of q special
ly equipped plane for busting the
fields from the air has materially
lessened the damage the pests may
do.
Work on busting the fields adj
iacent to Brownsville began Thurs
day morning when a CurtisS- Wright
busting plane. piloted by Il. 3. Day.
swept the 300-acre tract Of land
south Of the city belonging to
Kirk Loughridge and Randall
Mathers. a mixture Of calcium
arsenate and paris green Is used
the former chemical for boil weevil
and the latter for the leaf works.
The mixture consists Of 100 pounds
calcium arsenate to 10 pounds
paris green, according to Pilot
Day.
Half an Hour Required
The busting Of crops from the
air is said to be 80 times faster
than when done by ground ap-
p3ratus, the 300-acre tract having
been completed in ar hour and a
half. The busting plane. sweeping
over the field. lays a heavy cloud
OF poison dust while the foliage is
still wet from the rains or drew.
and the soil too wet for ground
busting.
Ideal conditions for busting is
when the cotton Is still wet with
dew. and when there is little wind.
Foggy weather is undesirable, as
the dust does not settle well, and
the foliage Is dripping with water.

He added that the average
amount Of poison used was between

Other busting contracts signed
to date were with A. N. Tandy

HUSBAND SLAYER
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Dying Woman Found by Po-
lice After She Phones
| Minister of Murder.


ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,, May 12.-Harry
r. Dumont, 81, Government engineer,
was found shot to death and his wife,
80, was found dying by police who were
summoned to the couples home early
yesterday by Rev. A. L. Powell, Meth
odist minister.
The pastor phoned officers to tell
them he had just received phone call
from a woman whose voice he recog-
nized as that of Mrs. Dumont. She
said, he reported, that she had just
killed her husband and was about to
shoot herself. Police, arrived to find
Dumont shot once through the head
and his wife shot twice through the
head. She died shortly afterward.
Authorities said it was evidently
murder and suicide, but were puzzled
by the fact that Mrs. Dumont had been
shot once through the back OF the head.
A vase was broken against the wall,
indicating a struggle, they said. A note
was found scrawled on an envelope,
supposedly by Mrs. Dumont, saying:
'He tried to poison me. That's why
these terrible headaches"
Mrs. Dumont had been in i'll health.
The couples 8-year-old son was drowned
three years ago in the Ohio River while
they were living at Uniontown, KY. Mr..
and Mrs. Dumont separated after the
drowning, but were reunited 18 months
later at Cincinnati.
Dumont was an associate civilian
engineer attached to the United States
Army Engineers Office here.
