Banker And Potato Champ
Tell OF Situation
In Valley

How potatoes can be grown to the
extent of over $500 gross per ere
In the Valley. and a vocational talk
by Gordon Street featured the week
" meeting uf the Brownsville Ro-
tary club Wednesday.
How the potatoes can be grown
was told In q talk by J. T. Casey Of
Los Fresnos- Young Casey Is the
winner Of the 4th prize and told how
he grew 1873 bushels Of potatoes Of
various grades off q fraction over

penses OF cultivation he netted $685.
so. which he is keeping TO be added
to the profits of other years to pay
his way through college.
Mr.. Street analysed farm loans
pointing out that one Of the great
needs OF the farmer today is individ-
ual education on the handling Of
his farming business instead Of max
ing the farm problem q political
football.
One bad practice, he said, was the
farmer borrowing up to fifty per
cent Of his assets, when other manu-
facturers use twenty-five per cent
as the maximum loan blanket, and
the farmers failure to set aside a
reserve fund In the good years 10
carry him over the lean years. This
he coupled with the poor marketing
system as the outstanding reason OF
a farm problem existing.
The coming football games OF the
weekend were announced by Red
Irvine special attention being called
to what promises TO be q classic be-
tween the Brownsville and Edinburg
junior college teams.
