REED, BORAH
IN DEBATE ON
PROHIBITION
Senate Galleries Are
Thronged As Famed
Orators Assail And
Defend Law
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.—<*■>—
Those who hoped that the sev
tieth congress would not end
without a debate between those
two mighty orators. Reed of Mis
souri. and Borah of Idaho, have
liad their wish. The two gave the
controversial subject of prohibition
an airing yesterday before a gal
lery that took all the seats and the
standing room.
The antt-climax came after the
speeches had ended. Senator Reed
threatened Saturday to make pub
lic a list of senators and repre
sentatives who ‘ vote dry and drink
wet” but yesterday he assured his
hearers he was Joking. All the
members of the house did not know
of this assurance and someone last
night spread the news at the cap
itol that the names of certain rep
resentatives were on the list that
the Missouri senator intended to
give out. There were many tele
phone calls and a number of hur
ried visits to Reeds office before
those concerned learned that no
list was to be Issued.
Reed is a democrat and a wet.
Borah is a republican and a dry.
Discussion on the Jones bill to in
crease penalties for liquor law vio
lations laid the setting for the
clash.
Reed argued that control of
liquor should fall to the states.
Borah contended that prohibition
was a part of the constitution and
should be observed. Around these
central themes the speakers brought
wit. sarcasm and logic Into play.
The Missourian began by de
scribing the prohibition laws as a
“hideous crime.” He declared that
the prohibition law was an untust
law and that there had followed in
its train corruption and debase
ment.
Borah in his reply to Reed said
that there had been corruption and
violations of the law.
“I know that.” he declared. “I
rail the senator's attention to the j
fact, however, that there never has
been a law placed upon the statute
books of any civilized nation on
earth with reference to liquor that
the liquor forces did not undertake
to break it down, to violate it. to
undermine it. to corrupt the offi
cials. It is the hisforv of liquor
legislation from the beginning un
til this hour."
Borah termed those who have ad
vocated that it Is every man s right
to observe those laws which he
cares to observe as traitors and lie
said that under the system of state
control that the dry states had to
maim in an army of officers to pro
tect themselves from liquor from
wet states.

RACING BILL
TO Affi FAIRS
John T. Floore Says
Secretaries Yet Are
Hopeful
Passage of a bill legalising rac-1
mg in Texas would prove of the
greatest benefit to district and
community fairs, in the opinion
of John T. Floore. manager of the
Valiev Mid-Winter Fair, who re
turned Monday from the conven
tion of South Texas Fair Secretar
ies in San Antonio.
"Under such a bill the fair asso
ciations will obtain 10 per cent of
the revenues of the pari-mutual
machines while two per cent would
go to the state," said Mr. Floore,
"this added income practically
would assure the financial success i
of the majority of smaller fairs in
Texas. I believe.
"We are very hooeful that the
measure will vet be nassed by the '
legislature." he added. "Conlidence
was expressed at the San Antonio
convention that the act would be
come a law."
The house bill to legalize racing
was killed Monday by the legisla
ture.
Mr. Floore was elected regional
vice president of the Texas Asso
ciation of Fairs, and also was
named a member of the South Tex
as Fair Secretaries legislative com
mittee.
Before going to San Antonio. Mr.
Floore accompanied the Missouri
Pacific Valiev exhibition car on its
♦ rip north. He declared the ex
hibits of vegetables and other pro
dee from the Valley was viewed by
thousands at nearly all points
where stops were made.
“I believe the exhibit will do
much for the Valley in an advertis
ing way.” he said. "In fact com
ing into San Antonio the other day
I met a man from Kansas whom
I had promised to send literature
on the Valley. He had viewed the
exhibit and wanted further infor
mation. This man told me I need
not send the literature as he al
ready had visited the Valley and
bought land there.”
San Antonio is keeping a watch
ful eye on the Valley. Floore said,
and declared the people -here know
about as much about it as local
residents. They expect great things
from this section, he said.

NEWSPRAYING
SCHEDULE OUT
Recommended By Ag
ricultural Workers
Of the Valley
DONNA. Tex., Feb. 19—The Val
ley Agricultural club at its regular
meeting, discussed the matter of
insect control in an at temp to im
prove the spraying situation. The
following schedule is suggested as
being satisfactory In most cases.
The members of the club realize
that no schedule based upon set
dates of the calendar can be en
tirely satisfactory, but that such a
schedule may be of some benefit
in helping the growers work out
their own problems. Such & sched
ule may help the inexperienced
grower in evaluating the advice
given by well meaning but poorly
informed acquaintances or Itiner
ant sprayers.
A review of the discussion follows:
Dormant spray with oil emulsion:
This spray is recommended when
there is a heavy infestation of
scale. It may be applied at any
time from November until the trees
begin to blossom. This application
has been highly recommended by
some agencies, but it seemed to be
the experience of the majority of
members present at this meeting
that it is merely an emergney prop
osition where there is a very heavy
infestation or where there is con
siderable purple scale.
Blossom spray, with lime sulphur:
This is to be applied when two
thirds of the petals have fallen or
in the two or three weeks following
the end of the bloom period. Nico
tine sulphate can be added to this
w'hen used at the latter part of the
blooming period in order to control
thrlp.
It was agreed that this is a very
important spray as It starts out the
year free of red spider and rust
mite and will kill any scale crawl
ers that might have hatched at that
time. Growers should make this
spray a part of their program.
Summer oil spray: If the normal
conditions prevail the next spray
that is given will be directed at
scale insects and will consist of a
solution of oil emulsion. This
should not be applied before the
month of May. or when the fruit
is 1 1-2 inches in diameter. This
will probably be the most, effective
spray of the whole program if timed
correctly. Some growers prefer to
delay this application until July
or even as late as August, but if
scale is ot all numerous, consider
able damage may be dune before
that time.
Summer lime sulphur spray: Dur
ing the month of June there is
likely to be an infestation of rust
mite and red spider and another
lime sulphur spray is to be applied
at this time In order to keep these
two insects in check and to kill
any scale crawlers that happen to
be present at that time.
Subsequent treatment: The last
tliree sprays mentioned above
should give a comparatively clean
grove. Tree and fruit should be
in fair shape, but there are times
when conditions will warrant the
repeating of one of the above appli
cations except the dusting with dry
sulphur.
Sulphur in any form should not
be used within thirty days of an
application of oil emulsion. It
should not be necessary.
Only standard materials should
be used.
Materials should be used accord
ing to the directions of the manu
facturer in order to get the best re
sults.
Do not substitute. Soft water is
best.
Note: No discussion of materials
of strength of materials is attempt
ed here because of the brief space
and the variations in the various
commercial materials
The Valley Agricultural club is
an organization composed of ex
periment station workers, county
agents, agricultural teachers, citrus
inspectors, farmers and any others
interested in the development of
agriculture in the Rio Grande Val
iev of Texas.
It is the purpose of the club to
boost anv movement that they
think will be of benefit to the
farmers and to cause imoroved
methods to be called to the at
tention of the growers.
