IMPRISONMENT ASKED FOR DEE Ham
in OUR
VALLEY


ELIMINATE FROM your list 0.
prospective candidates for governor
OF Texas the name Of M. H. Gossett
president Of the federal land bank
at Houston.
Judge GoSset appeared In Austin
yesterday at Gov. Sterling's cotton
conference.
Said he, In effect, Farmers
eSsSonld work more and play less"
HE is not a candidate for office,
Such frankness could not possibly
come from anyone who Is not an
appointive officer.
Now Judge GosSett knows things
we never heard of. and he has for
gotten more than we will ever
learn.
But he's wrong in this p~articu-
lar instance.
Tell you why.
The average farmer could make
more money on less work, II the
work he did was directed along the
proper lines Of endeavor.
We have a sneaking bunch that's
what the Judge meant, anyway.
Take cotton farming, for IN
stance.
Just as much work, just as ex-
pensive, to raise a crop OF &c cot
ton as it IS to raise a crop Of 300
cotton.
It's misdirected energy TO put IN
that work and expense or a cotton
crop that does not pay the cost
OF production.
Our southern farmers do the
work, go to the expense because
most of them do not know any
other crop to plant.
Our Valley gets away from the
one crop idea to q considerable ex-
tent.
We are falling into the nut our
selves though of planting the same
varieties OF vegetables year after
year.
our collective mind should be de-
uHed to devising new crops fol-
our winter paintings.
We want to get away from COM
petition to raise what the other
fellow can't.
THERE is A weather bureau ir
Brownsville.
Located atop State National bank
building.
Telephone number 1872.
Next time you hear a rumor that
tropical storm Is about TO hit, phone
the bureau and get the straight OF
1t.
Bureau never fails 70 give i'm
portant storm warnings 70 the
Herald and other Valley papers.
Above is occasioned by phone
calls received Monday p. m.
Some few people excited.
Had hear "on the street" thai
tropical storm was due 10 hi
Brownsville at 8 o'clock.
Herald knew nothing OF It,
Neither did the weather bureau
Somebody probably remarked
that the gathering clouds looked
like a storm might be coming, and
excited fancieS did the rest.
VALLEY OLD-TIMERS are no
too old to go on a picnic.
They just don't want TO.
That's our conclusion.
We're not mad.
Going 10 have an old-timers' pic
mic all BY ourselves, and when We
come back and tell about the gooc
time we had, they'll all be sorry
they did not come along.
IT'S SERVICE with al capita
letters that hard working Franz
Bullock, circulation manager o,
The Brownsville Herald, gives hi
customers.
~Gets I'D early on Sunday morn
and takes part OF his corps o.
neEsies to the beaches.
Sells some HeraldS. hardly
enough to pay for the gasoline III
perhaps, but the resorters arr
able to get the news Of the day be-
fore they hit the surf.
And then, every once IN a while
someone writes The Herald like
this:
please allow me TO thank vol
for your prompt action in forward
ing the Herald 10 my new address
as I enjoy 1t very much. Since
nv absence I have been able x
keen in touch with happening
there, and II the Valley were no
fortunate IN having a first claS'
paper. this would have been I'M
possible"
And that's some more good serv'
ice rendered by Mr.. Bullock.
When YOU move, tell him OF TIT
change in address. he VIII do TIT
rest. and do IL now.
