Quite the opposite is true of Birch, the magician, who presents his array of wonders at the hign school auditorium Here tonight. Not only does Birch welcome children to his performances but he dev'v.-s real pleasure from working beio.t* an audience crowded with kiddies.

REDISTRICTING STUDY BEGINS A resolution on the proposed judicial redistncting of Cameron county was to be drawn by a com mittee of the Cameron County Bar association here Monday after noon. The findings of the com mittee. composed of C. K Rich ards. J. T Canales. Harry Faulk Judge A. M. Kent, Chas. Bowie. Asa Moore and Paul Brown, are to be placed before a general meeting of the Bar association here at 9 a m. Thursday. There is a movement now be ing considered ui the state legis lature to abolish the present crim inal district court in Cameron county, and to limit the present civil court to Cameron county with joint cnmiral jurisdiction. In this event, the county attorney would do the prosecuting, doing away with the office of district attorney. The civil district court now op erates in both Cameron and Wil lacy county Under the pr posed arrangement it would no longer operate in Willacy county but would handle all criminal and civil cases in Cameron county.

Some favor it while others have set-ups in mind which they believe would best serve the county. state shippers for less than So, that the market will improve rap idly within the next few days. SAN BENITO. Feb 6—A price of $6 per ton for cabbagr and of 20c per bushel f®r carrots aatd beets to the farmers was announced Sunday morning by the produce firm of Wade Newton In making the announcement Davis Wade, senior member of the firm stated that “we have told all of our field men to quote these prices to the growers in all sec tions of the Valley beginning Mon day morning. We will pay these minimum prices just as long as it is possible to pay them and to dis- i pose of the stuff on that price basis." ‘Plow Half t'nder' Telegrams were sent Sunday U> all market connections. Mr. Wade I •>aid stating that farmers were re- , fusing to sell their cabbage and beets and carrots unless i>aid a minimum price of $6 for cabbage and 20c for carrots and beets and that it would be necessary to quote on that basis. • We will go further.” W’ade saia, •and will guarantee to the grow ers ot the Valley that U they will plow up one half of all the acreage of cabbage, beets and carrots hi the Valley, no matter how small the patch, the price of cabbage will go to $25 a ton and of beets and carrots to 50c a bushel within two weeks.” Expressing the opinion that tn« growers are on the right track in organizing and refusing to sell ex cept at the minimum prices named. Wade stated that his firm and he believed all reputable shippers in the Valley would stand behind them and would cooperate in ev ery possible manner. Will Stabilize Price • A determined stand refusing to sell below certain prices, and the plowing under of the crop whoa the price drops below these levels will do more to stabilize the price of our Valley commodities than anything we can do." he stated. Conditions in produce business end growing have changed in the past two years to such an extent that fcnh growers and shippers must get down to a business bask, and recognize that the purchasing power ol the consumer in the north has been greatly depleted, m the opinion of this Valley shipper. ■Right now in the north th* housewife Is able to buy storagt cabbage at lc a pound and we cannot hope to put our cabbage before her at a price greatly in excess of that and expect her o buy” he expressed himself. Growing and shipping of Valley truck crops must be taken out of the speculation class and put on a business basis if grower and shipper are to continue in business. 1s Wade's opinion. Coats Are Cut W • We have been able to cut cwr costs so that we can sell $3 a ton cabbage in Los Angeles crates at 35c to the cash buyer or 40c over the wire and lot lose money. We are loading cabbage from the wagon to the car at a cost to us of aj> proxiniately 28c a crate and are loading carrots from the field lo the car and paving brokeragj on the car at xn average cost of 48c a crate, enabling is to sell »i 60c and still breaic even,'' he said •Growers and shippers, by co operating and by refusing on the one hand to sell and on the other hand to buy and ship when the price falls below a set minimum, will be able to stabilize vegetable prices to a great extent and to take a great deal oi the gamble out of the produce business.” he concluded. Wade Newton maintain pack ing sheds at practically all Valley points and shippers over the Valley were exacted Monday to meet the price hike announced Sunday.
