FUTURE FOR

Plant to Eliminate
Danger of Future
Overproduction

An examination Of the eight or
more sites offered for the Depart
ment OF Agriculture citrus by
products laboratory in the Valley
is being made today by DR.. F. G.
Blanck, chief OF the food research
division Of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, and z. NJ. Chace, chief
OF the citrus products laboratory,
who arrived in the Valley yester-
day.
They went as far up as Weslaco
yesterday afternoon, examining
sites at Brownsville. San Benito, La
Feria, and Mercedes.
Today they will look over the
sites in McAllen, Mission, Edin-
burg. Weslaco, Donna and other
Valley cities, and will leave to-
night.
Prefer Valley Fruit
Both department Of agriculture
officials. one from California, the
other from Washington, expressed
a decided preference for Valley
grapefruit.
I'VE have tried that wonderful
grapefruit of yours, and every
thing you say about 1t is true" Mr..
Chace said.
Mr.. Chace said he a not get
Valley grapefruit in California, but
that he tasted il first on a train
crossing the continent. The waiter
on the dining q insisted that he
try that fine Texas grapefruit"
and he found Ii excellent, he said.
DR.. Blanck said 1t is impossible
to buy Valley fruit in Washington,
although he prefers it to any other
fruit, and gets 1t when he can. He
discussed the matter with chamber
Of commerce officials here, and
painted a bright future for Valley
grapefruit.
Outline Plant
The two officials outlined the
practical side Of the citrus by
products laboratory in speaking 10
members OF the Brownsville Rotary
club yesterday.
DR.. Blanck said that although the
work Of the laboratory will be
chemical research, IL will be direct
ed toward the practical end Of
finding additional uses for citrus
fruit by-products. He cited some
uses that have already been found,
such as pectin. grapefruit Juice,
citric acid, canned grapefruit and
the like.
we want TO find the particular
b~y-productS that can be made from
your fruit, and that will find the
best market" he said.
Mr.. Chace pointed to the 1927
lemon crop in California as an ex-
ample Of the value OF by-products
plants. In that year the lemon
growers were faced with disaster
because Of a large surplus.
Price Drop Avoided
During the season they shipped
$1,000 carloads Of lemons, and had
a surplus O. $4,000 tons. Had as
much as 10000 tons Of this surplus
been thrown onto the market, it
would have caused the price 70
drop to practically nothing.
But the entire 72,000 tons was
absorbed in the manufacture Of
~by-products and growers received
$50 a ton for the entire amount,
thus turning the season into a pro-
fitable one.
DR.. Blanck and MI. Chace prais-
ed the citrus industry Of the VAL
ley, and said 1t was far beyond
their expectations.
Mr.. Chace will be in charge OF
the laboratory here, although he
will keep his headquarters in
California. They will make a de-
cision on the site about Sept 1.

PICKS
20 GRAND
To Win
By BILL CORUM

NEW YORK, June 13.-James-
town was the first city in Vir-
ginia. But Twenty Grand will be
the first horse in the Belmont
Stakes.
The sixty-third holding Of this
race will take place at Belmont
Park this afternoon at one mile
and one-haN, which is no mashie
shot on any fairway, and the
winner will be the "champeen"
galloper of the country. The Bel
mont, for 3-year.olds exclusively.
carries with it a monetary value
of $4,000.
Fen so, the big red runner un-
der Mrs. Payne Whitney's barber
pole silks will bound to the post
an odds-on favorite at 4 to 5, or
less. Those bookmakerS aren't
crazy.
All the world and his aunt
from Augusta knows that
George Widener'S Jamestown,
the Arrow of Erdenheim, has
the early foot to take the top
when Jockey Linus McAtee so
wills. But when they come to
that last gilt ball post that
points them home, little Charley
KurtSinger will be singing:
''Baby, Come Back to Me-"
It may Just be, Of course, that
Jamestown, as smooth a-going
colt as ever peered through a set
of blinkers, is another Man O.
War. He doesn't exactly look it,
but appearances in horses, as in
humans, are deceptive and pos
Sibly he can "go anywhere" as
his trainer, Jack Joyner, argues.
Set Derby Record
That's his chance. But he will
have to go some. Twenty Grand
set a Kentucky Derby record at
a mile and quarter and did It
laughing. He was only galloping
at the finish.
To be sure, Jamestown has
never said mo" in his 9-victory-
and-1-defeat career, but he has
run no mile and one-quarter, to
say nothing Of 8 mile and. one
half.
He may, and probably will
attempt, to steal long lead,
ease off, and come again to
withstand the big horses chaE
lenge. But on those broad, easy
curves at Belmont we shall have
to see it done.
AS for Mrs. Katherine ElkinS
Hits Sun Meadow, he would
seem to be running for third
money.
With all the talk that has
taken place and the wide adver-
tising given the event, it would
not be surprising to find $4,000 at
Belmont this afternoon to close
the meeting at that picture racing
plant.

SUNDAY c A NJ T
NEXT WEEK

Although the washington Griff-
men will not be at home a week
from tomorrow. Washington will
have a game of professional base
ball when two colored teams from
Philadelphia and Baltimore meet
at Clark Griffith Stadium.
So close was the last meeting
of the Baltimore Black Sox and
the Darby (Pa) Hilldales. Darby
being q suburb Of Philadelphia,
that Promoter Douglas o. Smith
has been importuned to book
those teams again.
Their last meeting here on the
Sunday following the Kentucky
Derby was a 10-inning affair
which went nine innings without
a runner crossing the plate.
The Hilldales ultimately won
by 4 to 1, but only after an extra
inning had been played. Con-
gresham oscar DePriest, Of
Illinois is to throw out the first
ball. Smith has been promoting
events for Washington's colored
population for many years and
the success Of the last game held
here indicates that the game
next Sunday will resemble in at

First of all, Carey's threat

feud started when Carnera, un-

Carey Is Worried
When several sports writer's be-

on Pat dropped to 4 to l, Carey
became worried and issued his
warning that Carnera would lose
the title shot this fall unless he

Providence, R. l., April 21.-(UP} Another fortnight's continuance of the case against Elliott R. Hath away. charged with the murder of Verna Russell. student nurse, will be asked by Attorney General Benjamin M. McLyman when the case is called Friday in Newport district court.
 This announcement by McLyman to-day strengthened the belief that the case never will be heard in the lower court. It was believed grand jury would be asked to indict Hath away between now and the new date expected to be set by Judge Max Levy, and in that event Hathaway would be bound over for trial in su- perior court.

"At the time that it was suggested that act as chairman of the com mittee for the banquet in honor of Judge John F. McGrath I hesitated to accept knowing the financial dis tress of great number of our citi- zens.
 After taking the matter up with Judge McGrath he was of the same opinion as I, that we should wait until times were better before any testimonial dinner be given. How ever after a conference with the committee as whole it was decided at my suggestion that the banquet as well as testimonial to Judge McGrath could serve for some char itable cause.
 So the committee decided that the usual extravaganzas that gen. erally incurred at such banquets be dispensed with and all the money above the expenses of the testimonial be turned over to the school milk fund where we felt it would do the most good.

 The capture of the defendant and his wife, Margaret, was one of the most exciting incidents of the past month, period of many unusual events.
 Jones entering the store of Gus tavo Giocometti, 5S, offS30 Hamil- ten avenue late yesterday afternoon held up the proprietor at the point of a revolver and forced him to stand by while he rifled the cash register of $5. Vincent Cousey, a Swift company salesman was in the store at the time and was obliged to remain silent, helpless witness to the action. As Jones fled from the store, he was joined by his wife, who was observed by witnesses standing behind a tree a short distance away. As they raced away il an effort to escape Giocometti rushed out of the store and blazed away at them with his shot gun. He missed both of the fugitives, but buck shots from the weapon went through the win dow of the residents of MT and Mrs George H. Cass at 44S Hamilton avenue, narrowly missing a member of the family. It was their com plaint of a man firing off gun on the streets and smashing the window that the police investigated. What was expected to be only a disturb ance developed into the story of the highway robbery.
 When Detective Joseph Bender, Driver Edward Roach and Doorman John Shea were hlrried to the scene they arrested Giocometti for dis charging the gun. On hearing his story they made a search of the vii cinity and succeeded in locating MT and Mrs Jones. Members of the police motor patrol also joined in the search. In court to-day the charge of discharging a gun within the citys limits was nolled in favor of Giocometti.
 The police found several witnesses to identify Jones as the man who fled from the store and was joined by his wife. The two are former residents of Pennsylvania. Under pressure at police headquarters Jones admitted the crime for which Suback was arrested.
