Potato Control

Potato farmers Of the Valley are having this little
matter Of enforcement Of the Potato Control act
placed squarely in their laps. With no funds for en-
forcement provided by the federal congress, farmers
are supposed to enforce the act on which they did
not vote, for which most OF them have absolutely no
use.
1ncongruous as the situation may seem, ridiculous
rs it appears, 1t Is nevertheless fact, and fact that
may result IN untold harm to potato growers of the
Valley who are threatened with the imposition OF a
tax Of IS cents on every bushel Of spuds they dig out
Of the ground for market.
Saturday, November Is, has been set as the dead
line for the receipt Of applications for potato allot-
mentS from individual growers Of this section.
Committees to do the work Of the government have
been named in practically every potato growing COM
muntty. These committees will establish offices and
receive applications for allotments, and on the figures
set out in these alotments the gracious AAA will de-
termine how many bushels Of potatoes the farmer will
be permitted to sell without having the devil taxed
out Of him and them.
As IN the case Of the Bankhead legislation which
Is running the cotton grower Of the Valley along with
his fellows In all parts Of the South, the potato farmer
has and had nothing to say about 1t. The potato
control act has been passed, is the law Of the land,
and must be observed.
The Brownsville Herald cannot urge too strongly
upon potato growers Of the Valley to get in immediate
touch with the potato committee Of their respective
communities and to file Immediately with that COM
mittee their potato allotment applications.
A tax Of IS cents q bushel on the potatoes they
raise would be ruinous to practically every potato
grower. and the only way in the world that tax may be
avoided is by filing allotment applications.
The time is short, the need for action is imperative.

The World Grows Cotton

Here in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, bordering on
Mexico, we have seen the cultivation OF cotton In our
neighboring republic gain impetus in the past three
years as the United States. the greatest cotton grow
ing nation in the world, throws its world market to
the winds. We have seen the Matamoros section put
acre after acre Of new land into the cultivation OF
cotton. We have seen some Of our best cotton farm
ers pick up their equipment and move II duty free
across the border.
We read that the Federal government Of Mexico
has set aside a fund Of millions OF pesos for the en-
eouragement Of cotton growing in the great Laguna
section.
Then we read that one Of the real reasons for the
desire OF Ethiopia by Italy Is the desire to utilize the
cotton growing sections Of that country for the pro-
duction of more and more OF the fleecy staple.
We hear from Texas cotton factors OF the shipments
Of machinery TO Brazil, Of the increasing cotton crop
OF that section.

II your child has trouble with his sight, you will
find him doing any one or more Of the following:
Attempt to brush away blur.
Blink continuously when at a task calling for close
eye work.
Cry frequently.
Have frequent fits Of temper.
Pay no attention to favorite toys when they are
across the room from him..
Hold q book close to his eyes when reading.
Hold his body tense when looking at distant objects.
Appear untnterested when other children are en-
joying a circus parade or watching other distant
moving objects.
Seem bored during group discussion Of some enjoy
able things such as an airplane in flight.
Become irritable over tasks, even when Self-selected.
Select small p~laythings and keep his face close to
them.
Frown and scowl when fitting parts OF a toy to-
gether.
Rub his eyes frequently.
Screw up his face when looking at nearby or distant
objects
Shut one eye or cover 1t when looking at nearby
objects.
Thrust his head forward in an effort to see dis
tant objects.
Tilt his head when looking at nearby or small OBJ
jects.
VIII not try to catch a bali thrown to him.
Tend to be c~ross-eyed when looking at nearby OBJ
jects.
Besides, q child with bad sight may have attacks OF
dizziness, headache, and nausea, and you will notice
that the eyes have red rims, swollen eyelids, or that
they water constantly.
They also are crusted together in the morning and
more subject TO the formation Of sites than are health
full eyes.
Appearance OF any Of these signs should cause the
mother or teacher to get the child suitable medical
attention.
There are a few simple rules that will help 10 guard
the childs sight.
Do not force It to face a bright window or bright
light when at work.
DO not subject it to the contamination Of a COM
mon towel used in the school. In fact. all the equip
ment used In the school should be studied with re-
lationship to the safety and health OF the child's eyes.
Sometimes hooks are placed for little children at
eye level. If placed a little above this level. there is
less danger Of the child having an eve come in con-
tact with the hook.
