On the other hand, there are American pilots who havo dusting planes. Arrangements are being made to allow these American pilots to fly the dusters over Mexican cotton areas to help spray the insecticide over the vast cotton fields," Sanchez Colin said. "Cotton production In the Matamoros area has a bright future. Recent rains and the cold weather have helped the plants. A bumper crop ia expected in this region of Mexico, which, according to present indications will continue as the leading cotton producing area of the country," Mexico's director general of agriculture commented.

I 'Another problem facing fhe cotton farmers in Mexico is the compression of cotton. In order to export cotton it must be compressed, and some growers are using unapproved covering for the bales. the total has been put in cotton. Thursday, March 31, was deadline for planting. Rain To Aid Rain, which has fallen the past few days, along with cool weather, is expected to help the cotton by putting moisture in the ground --provided warm weather follows the rains, to provide a growing season.

The number of growers and number of acres on which permits have been granted, by districts, include: Brownsville, 595 growers and 144,746 acres; San Benito, 937 growers and 70,606 acres; Harling en, 839 growers and 84,768 acres; total for Cameron county, 2,735 growers and' 300,120 acres.

The practice must stop, since it entails heavy expenses to the grower and the government, Cotton moved from certain areas to others must be covered with new material or previously sterilized or certified material in order to be exported and compressed," the agricultural official said. Face Drouth Farmers in the Laguna District of Coahuila, around Torreon, are worried about their crops. They have planted large areas to cotton, but a prolonged drouth is threatening the crop. Agrarians and small farmers alike are worried. Unless the rains come soon much of the cotton will not produce heavily, according to reports.

The situation places Matamoros again in the lead as Mexico's beat cotton producer. Gins will be taxed to capacity in some areas, it was said. The cotton crop around Delicias, Chihuahua will be excellent, if weather and pest control turn out right. However, since gins in that area arc reported to be unable to handle all of the cotton, some of it may! Declining livestock prices aren't worrying the fabulous King Ranch nearly so much as its waning water supply. The biggest beef producing ranch in the world is acre domain which ships 20,000 cattle to market annually.

The ranch doesn't buy high-priced cat-! tie on speculation--it breeds and; raises its own. It buys little high- priced feed--King Ranch cattle eat grass. So the ranch isn't caught in! any jam between buyer and seller' market. I Causes Concern But when it comes to water tt has cause for concern. The South Texas water table has dropped alarmingly and you can't depend on rain.

A cow drinks 10 gallons of water per days," said Dr. James K. Northway, famed King Ranch veterinarian, "and it takes plenty of water to grow the grass they eat." The ranch has built earthen diversionary dams in three streams to "lood thousands of acres of ranch- and in periods of heavy rain. The looded soil is treated chemically to boost its fertility and planted in clovers and such grasses as giant bermuda, yellow bluestem and rhodes. "When I came here in 1916," said Northway, "many artesian wells were flowing.

Now, in some wells around Kingsville, water is 117 eet below the surface. That's an dea of how the water table has dropped." Huge Consumption It has been estimated that the 75 artesian wells and 225 windmills of the King Ranch supply enough water daily for a city of 23,000 persons. The 80,000 head of cattle and the 2,800 quartet horses about 31 inches a year. "But it may go for six months without raining," said Northway. The ranch, a big business wth a businesslike attitude toward ranching, has spent many decades of planning for the future.

After years of experiment it evolved its own breed of Santa Gertrudis cattle (approximately three eights Brahma and five eights Shorthorn), very large cattle with a very fine beef conformation. Santa Gertrudis cattle take the southwest heat well; they are hardier and grow heavier on grass feeding- than any other breed. The ranch also developed its own strain of quarter-horses for its expert Vaqueros (cowboys) to ride and experimented many years to perfect strains of grasses for its fine livestock. Price Decline Commenting on the livestock price decline, Dr. Northway said 'We are on a production basis We breed, raise and market cattle.

The fellows caught by the decline are the ones who buy high-priced cattle to fatten and buy high- priced feed to fatten them on, A fat cow is just as perishable as a ripe peach. When she's ready for market, she's ready--and the man who paid too much for the cow and her feed loses money when the livestock market drops." And, too, the King Ranch has varied its Interests. It does no farming but it has 400 oil wells. Man Paroled On Check Charge Vernon Bryant, San Benito ing found guilty on a charge of defrauding with a worthless check. Paul Y.
