THE farmer must be able 10 turn
at the end ~ the furrow with a pro-
fit" was the underlying theme OF
his discourse. Civilization begins
and ends with the plow. When the
pillow Is junked at the end OF the
furrow. that will end commerce and
the nation"
Crumbs OF economic advice were
sprinkled literally to the audience
by the man-of-action governor who
only last week sent troops to shut
down oil wells in his state until
the price OF oil Is raised 10 81 a
barrel"
Return 10 Constitution
His address tonight dealt largely
with a careful analysis OF national
history and his plea mot for a new
creed but for a return 70 constitu-
tional government in the United
States"
What 7 am crying for" he ex-
planned, lis that the surplus wealth
In the country shall pay for 10
surplus protection and not throw "
on the woodhead."
What has brought about the evils
that confront us?" he demanded.
I'VE cannot deal with great COM
binations OF wealth by ordinary
processes. We've got 70 deal with
them as you would do with ordinary
criminals.
I'VE have today more millionaires
than the world has ever had at any
time in its history, and likewise
more paupers. The same banking
laws made them both"
Reorganize Credit
He advocated a reorganization ot
the credit system. 10 grant the farm
producer more liberal and longer
term credits. Commerce begins
with the farm"
He declared he hoped that when
the people Of the United States
went into their next national poll
teal conventions-"Particularly the
democratic conventionn-they would
stop voting by geography"
II hope there will be no New
Yorker nominated" he shouted. For
a Wall Streeter can no more grasp
the plight OF the farmer than the
devil can grasp the conception OF
the Savior Of men. My greatest fear
Is that the people will not see In
time"

SAN BENITO. Aug. IS King
Cotton has fallen with a dull thud
In the Valley.
With ginnings about half over II
Is estimated unofficially that the
total number OF bales harvested 50
far Is about $4,000.
1t Is not thought that there will
be 10000 more bales IN the Valley.
making a total OF from 10000 to
$4,000 bales. the smallest yield In
ver ten years.
The record yield was i62 900 bales.
The small crop Is said to be due
to a number Of reasons, the prin-
cipal ones being reduced acreages
and low yields. The stands were
poor almost from the first and
then excessive rains made 1t easy
for pests to spread and increase
the d~esolation. The crop was very
spotted. being good In some few
places and bad in others, the good
and bad areas not being uniformly
distributed.
Reduced acreages were due prin-
cipally to low prices and more land
being left idle.
Total ginnings in San Benito
city gins Saturday morning were
1899 bales and John Wright. one
or the lessees OF the local Valley
Gin Co. plant, said that the crop
Is about half ginned out In this

SPANS CLOSE
PROMPTLY AT
. DEAD HOUR
Laredo Threatens To
Make Appeal To
Hoover

Clamors Of protest against the
treasury departments early closing
order along the lower Rio Grande
went unheeded last night as fed
eral customs officers put the order
into effect at 8 D. m. last night at
eight ports Of entry.
Warning Released
Yesterday afternoon customs Of
ficials issued warnings that auto
mobiles must be on the u. 5. side
Of the river by 8 o'clock sharp or
visitors would be forced 10 spend the
night across the river. Officials
stated late last night that all auto
mobiles except three were back in
Brownsville by a quarter OF 8 O'Clock
and that occupants OF the three au-
tomobiles prepared TO spend the
night IN Matamoros.
Customs Collector Roy Campbell
announced at Laredo last night he
had recommended to Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Seymour
Lowman that he close the bridges
opposite border towns where open
gambling Is permitted. He said he
suggested that bridges at other
night the fight against the order
points be clAed at midnight.
Laredo business men declared last
had only begun and that an appeal
would be made to Pres. Hoover un-
less the treasury department grants
relief. 1t was pointed out a grave
injury TO free border commerce and
tourist travel would result.
Business men on both sides OF
Objections Filed
the river at Brownsville continued
to file objections to the order on
the ground that IL would block in
ternational trade and possibly lead
to strained feelings.
There was no mad rush OF leas-
ure seekers to enjoy a last mad
fling at MatamoroS resorts last
night. Bridge officials reported traf-
fic over the spans had been no heav-
Ter than usual and business con-
tinued with no a~ppreciable increase
in trade volume and no outstand-
ing manifestations.
Matamoros merchants awaited
replies to telegra--ls sent Pres. Or
tiz Rubio Friday night. Officials Of
the border town said that no COM
m~unication had been received and
they had no knowledge Of what ac-
ton might be taken by the Mexi-
can government.
