SAN BENITO, July lo.-With

Cooperative Assn. assured as was
announced at a meeting OF local
growers Tuesday night when 1t was
pointed out that the minimum
acreage Of 5000 thought necessary
had already been exceeded BY 1000
acres, various farmers OF this COM
munity were being interviewed
Wednesday with the idea Of having
them sign up.
George b. Warren OF the Valley
organization committee expressed
the opinion that perhaps from
$4,000 to 10000 acres might be
signed up in this section for the
coming season.
1000 Acres Signed
He based his hopes on the fact
that 1000 acres signed to date were
secured at four points and that the
sign-up campaign remains to be
conducted in ten other commun-
tiles.
The response is a great deal
better up 70 this time than we ex-
pected, said J. <. Montgomery. pres
ident OF the Teyas Farm Bureau
Federation. The minimum tonnage
thought necessary to operate a shed
was set at 100 cars and at no point
have less than $50 cars been pledged.
Weslaco has. in fact. signed I'D for
over 900 cars and Edinburg over 500
cars"
Although some vegetables produce
more than nj car TO the acre, the
general average for all crops has
been found to be about three acres

ing on this basis.
Mr.. Montgomery said that al
though the COOP Is approaching
only those for membership who are
producing stuff the organization
can handle. that II is not trying to
keep anyone out. we are not try
ing TO rake in everybody because
he Is a farmer he said. I'VE want

Won't Quit

izations which have preceded this

said MI. Montgomery. because they
have taught the growers something.
We are not the only people
who have had failures, but we are
continuing efforts. If we quit
because w failed there is no pos

These public works, Wolman

Henderson TangIe on Adoption
of Girl Given New Impetus;
Negligence of'WidoW Charged

Mrs. Beatrice Henderson Who
lean, through her attorney, H.
Prescott Galley, today filed OBJ
jectionS to being required to de-
fend the validity of the adoption
decree of December 80, 1924, un-
der the terms Of which she be-
came the daughter of Mrs. Mary
F. Henderson, dowager, who died
last spring.
Mrs. Wholean's objections to de-
Tending the adoption decree are
based on the contention that the
Probate Court lacks jurisdiction
in the matter of adoption.
The attack on the validity Of
the adoption is made by George
E. Edelin, executor under the lat
est will Of Mrs. Henderson, in his
answer to a caveat of Mrs. Who
lean protesting probate of the last
will.
In the paper filed today, Galley
declares that the decree Of adop-
tion cannot be attacked collateral
~, but that any attack on It's
validity must be made in q
separate direct action. -
Mrs. Henderson, by waiting
from December, 1880. until Eebru-
ary, 1881, before questioning the
decree which had been granted
at her request, was guilty Of negli.
gence and had no right to QueS.
ton it at that late date.
Edelin, if he has any right in
the matter as executor, should be
substituted as plaintiff in the
suit which Mrs. Henderson filed
shortly before her death, in an
effort to have the adoption set
aside.
