These people make money whether
the farmer does or not. They are
interested in increased production
because the more commodities they
handle. no matter how little the
grower gets, the more they make.
Mr.. Alvord told his hearers that
Texas farmers Will never become
a force in the state by selling in
divldually, saying that they must
market comparatively.
Mr. Alyord's talk originally was
scheduled for Tuesday but was
moved UP because he had 10 leave

WESLACO, June THE neces-
sity for several standards Of value
instead Of just the gold standard
was emphasized by {. II. Alvord,
southwestern representative OF the
Federal Farm Board, in his talk to
the Texas Farm Bureau Federation
convention Monday afternoon.
I'VE lose sight OF the trading
value Of the dollar Mr.. Alvord
asserted. Money should be a med
ium OF exchange and not a stand
ard Of value
The speaker went on TO show
that dollar values are not the true
values. declaring that two-dollar
wheat might in reality be cheaper
wheat than one-dollar wheat when
the trading value OF the dollar is
less. He warned against borrowing
when the value OF gold Is down and
the value Of the dollar IS less.
Mr.. Alvord answered critics Of
the Farm Board by stating that
purposes OF the organization Is 10
stabilize and not fix prices. He said
that If II had not been for the
board and the Agricultural Market
ing Act that the price Of wheat
would be 20 per cent lower and the
Price OF cotton one and one-hali

SWEET CORN.

Practically every one looks forward to
the sweet corn season, but none with
more anticipation than the home gar
dener, who knows by experience that
the finest grade Of this satisfactory
vegetable Is that obtained directly from
the garden. This fact is well substan-
tiated by research. which has shown q
very rapid loss In soluble sugars in
sweet corn, starting directly after pick
ing and continuing until q certain mini
mum is reached. This loss of sugar Is
accompanied by an increase in insoluble
constituents and. loss In attractive flavor.
The rate Of change depends somewhat
on Che temperature and hence Is very
rapid in this vicinity in midsummer.
The home gardener who is able to step
out into his garden, harvest his corn
and have 1t ready for cooking in few
minutes has q great advantage over the
ma jority of folks who rarely obtain corn
less than a day removed from stalks.
9 Sweet corns are divided into groups
according to color of the kernels. There
are white, yellow, reddish and black
varieties Just now the yellow kerneled
kinds are in the aScendency Of pubic
favor and very Justly SO on account OF
the admirable quality. There does seem
to be an association between sweetness
and yellow color. Yet many local people
cause the white varieties are sturdier
growers and more productive as rule.
Field corn enters our local markets
more or less frequently as table corn
and indeed makes q very fair product

GARDEN ITEMS

Pruning Of climbing roses is still per-
fectly feasible, and should be done as
soon as possible to lessen the danger Of
breaking the soft, new shoots which are
now growing rapidly. Roses need this
pruning to strengthen the new growth,
which, after ALL may be considered as
the major source Of next seasons crop
Of blooms, or at least the source Of the
finest part Of the crop. Pruning is con-
sidered harmful to young fruit plants,
but the comparison Is not correctly
drawn, as with the rose maturity Is
reached so much earlier. Pruning the
climbing rose Is more comparable to the
old apple tree that has become over
loaded with old fruiting wood.
