weevil Infestation is by no means
confined to the irrigated sections of
the Valley, said H. P. Boyd, who
this week made a trip through the
non-irrigated cotton sections of
Cameron and Willacy counties.
Boyd said he found heavy infes
tation around Sebastian, and in
other places where he had been told
there was little infestation.
• “The farmers are beginning to
poison, however.” Boyd said, “and
it is not too late yet to make a crop,
although a large part of the early
crop has been ruined by the wee

He said In practically every field
he has been In. more than 80 per
cent of the large bolls are infested.

SCENE FROM C APITOL SHOW
MARY PICK FORD in"CoquettE:
America's sweetheart has forsaken
curls and rag dolls. Which, ol
course, is another way to say that
Mary Pickford has grown up. All
this she lias done and more, to por
tray the central and dominant fig
ure of the well remembered stage
success, • Coquette," whic:. slaved for
more than one year on Broadway
"Coquette.’' at the Capitol the
ater through Thursday, is an all
talking picture; which means, of
course, that audiences everywhere
will at least have the opportunity
to hear Mary Pickford in the dia
logue role of the beautiful, flippant
Norma; the role made famous by
Helen Haves in the original pro
duction. Possessing a low pitched,
delightfully musical voice. Miss
Pickford again takes her place on
the high firmament of things the
atrical. through the medium of the
audible screen.
Miss Pickfurd's "Norma" is a
revealation. For Norma is a role
i worthy of the undeniable talents
I of one of her ability, and worthy
1 of one who received her earliest
i clage training in audible cheracter
.cations, as Miss Pickford did. under
the direction of the masterful Da
vid Belasco, when she played the
lead for him in the stage present*
' tion of The Good Little Devil.”
In this latest United Artists pres
I enta'tion. Miss Pickford has sur
rounded herself with an exception
ally talented cast. The leading male
role, that of the hardened, lumber -
I ing Michael, the boy brings love
; and tragedy into Norma's life, is
played with Johnny Mack Brown,
whose rise to stardom has been the
1 talk of Hollywood. When one re
calls the Michael of Elliott Cabot
'in the original play, a performance
that critics praised to the skies.
:t affords pleasure to join in the
plaudits for Mr. Brown whose work,
too. has been greeted with praise
everywhere. The stern, unrelent
ing father whose near-sighted vision
brings tragedy into the lives of those
he loves best in all the world. Is
capably enacted by John Sainpolis.
Others in the cast who perform
creditably ere Matt Moore, and Wil
liam Janney.
‘THE DUMMY’ AT RIVOLI
A sparkling, thrilling, laughable
comeay melodrama. “The Dummy,”
featuring the delightful stage and
screen star. Ruth Chatterton, will
be the attraction at the Rivoli the
ater, San Benito, for two days of
the week, starting today. “The Dum
my" is Paramount's latest all-talk
ing offering and is reported to be
one of the best of its kind presented !
to date.
Smart, smoothly-moving dialog is
recorded with all the perfection that
patrons of the Rivoli theater have
come to enjoy in the Paramount
all-talking pictures. The action of
the piece lends itself admirably to
newly developed treatment and the
picture is a succession of thrills an*
laughs.
An excellent cast of stage-trained
stars enact this comedy melodrama.
Ruth Chatterton. who was one of
the leading stare stars before she
became associated with Emil Jan
nings in his recent success. “Sms
of the Fathers,” has proved her abil
ity in talking moving pictures in
Paramount's “The Doctor's Secret.” !
Frederic March was playing in the
stage success. “The Royal Family."

John Cromwell, famous actor, direc- |

The story of “The Dummy” deals

well handled, Robert Milton being

LATE SPORTS
RACE COURSE
IS COLORED
Extravagant Preparation*
Made For Boat Race*
On June 21
a
NEW LONDON. Conn., June 19.—
i/p)—The annual Yale-Harvard boat
race here June 21. carries more
actual color by a good many square
yards of bunting than any other
event In the lexicon of sport.
Increasing In area year by year,
the floating forest of gaily deco
rated yachts which Invariably
springs up along the course dur
ing the day or two before the race
wUl be bigger and brighter than
ever.
Since the early days of the Har
vard-Yale rowing rivalry which be
gan away back in 1852 and has
been waged on the waters of the
Thames river here since 1878. It
has been the custom among those
with means to take in the race
by yacht.
The growing Interest in the time
honored battle of oars combined
with the increasing popularity of
yachting, has resulted in an aquatic
spectacle second only to the race
itself.
For sheer breath-taking bril
liance. for riotous beauty and com
pelling appeal to the eye. the low
er river at New London on race
day compares favorably with the
most magnificent crowd scenes in
any line of sport.
Gaily flaunting their "rainbows"
—the entire contents of their color
lockers—dozens and dozens of
yachts resplendent in gleaming
brass and mahogany lie at anchor
along the narrow line down which
are to come the racing crews. They
swathe the river in a waving mass
of crimson, yellow, blue, purple
and orange and splash their bright
ness across the azure waters of
the bay where speed boats dart
about like water bugs.
For those who must see the race
from shore there is almost too
much beauty in the form of bright
ly bedecked yachts along the coursr
Not even the observation train
gives a clear view of the later
stages of the race and a boatless
spectator watching at the finish
bne might as well be in New Haven
or Cambridge for all he can w#
of the shell'. The bedlam of noise
from the whMle* of the clustering
yachts is all that informs him the
race is over.
This 1929 event will mark the
fortv-ei^hlh time that Yale and
Harvard have met in dual eight
oared varsity races ever a four
mile Thames river course. Sin~e
the scene was shifted here from
Springfield. Mass.. In 1878 Yaie
has enjoyed a big edge, having won
the rare 30 times to Harvard’s 17
Partly for that reason but more
because of its lmnressive record *n
previous races this year the Eli
crew Is a decided favorite.

F. B. O. Comedy
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. June 19.—The la
mentations of H. P. Boyd of San
Benito that the Valley hath not
a real fishing worm orlngs forth
an encouraging suggestion from
this city that a Valley Worms,
Inc., or Valley Worms Amalga
mated, be formed at once, the sit
uation remedied.
Tho suggestion is made by John
T. Floor®, who offers to do the
work, provided he gets proper
moral and financial support from
Boyd and others.
Floore claims to be quite an
authority on worms, just as Boyd
is on cotton. The Valley fair man
ager. who came here from Troup,
said he has had experience with
the real East Texas fishing worms,
and noi cnly that, but with Lou
isiana worms.
“There's a Louisiana worm with
a red stripe on it thats as tough
as leather, and has a wonderful
flavor for fish.” Floore said. “The
last time I was in Louisiana, I
got a can full of these worms in
some mud, end shipped them back
to Troup, ar.d planted them out
in the bark jtrd. Nov.’ there is
a good supply ihere. and they are
regarded highly for fishing qual
ities.”
Floore further said that ne long
ago abandoned the old-fashioned
method of digging the worms out
of the ground. “Nothing like that
for me.” he said. “In this modern
| age of electricity I use electricity.”
Then he explained that he has
arranged an electric extension and
! attaches the two cords to two
large nails. Then he sticks these
in the ground about a foot or two
apart in the w’orm colony, and
turns on the juice. The worms
1 come hot-footing it out of the
ground, and Floore picks them up
and sallies forth fishing. He says
hot water will do the same thing,
but refused to comment on a horn,
such as the pied pipers pipe.
In case the move to form the
fish worm organization is carried
out. Floore contemplates an as
sociation of Valley-wide scope, to
be called “The Valley Worm
Growers and Cultivators' associa
tion,” or something to that effect,
with an exhibit at the Valley fair
this fall. No use missing anything
the Valley produces, he says.
