fc- —J,
THE “PROBABLE” THUNDER
showers predicted by our friend the
weather observer—
Came along in due time.
And tomato growers will pine and
repine—
While those who have cotton will
be glad,
the citrus growers,
have been warned recently
that orchards must be irrigated,
Will be happy sure enough.
And if you think rain means noth
ing to a newspaper,
You ought to be here right now,
(In The Herald office)
And see the way in which this
leased wire of ours,
Is printing one line after another,
Of gibberish even worse than ve
write.
It’s the uncommon weather that
affects the wires,
And makes the telephone company
men,
Tear their hair.
FROM NUECES COUNTY AN
other little bird tells us—
That pressure from all parts of
this senatorial district,
Is being put on Judge Volney Tay
lor of Brownsville,
To declare himself right now—
As a candidate for the seat held
By Sen. Archie Parr—
When the primaries of 1934 roll
around.
The Valley should have that sena
torial seat.

WITH THE TEXAS MOR
atorium law on foreclosures having
been declared unconstitutional by
district judges all over the state,
including our own Judge Kent, every
effort is being made to protect far
mers in danger of losing their farms.
J. E. Bell, manager of the San
Benito Chamber of Commerce, is
trying his best to find out, and will
find out, if loans can be made un
der^ the Emergency Farm Act, to
fanners owning irrigated lands.
a is believed that the inhibition
against loans on irrigated lands will
not apply under this act.
If such is the case, there is every
chance that Valley farmers whose
lands are in distress will be able to
get relief.
Mr. Bell is keeping in touch with
the situation, has written our rep
resentative and our senators, and
ehould have some good information
on the subject in a relatively short
time.
NOTE ON THE LEASED WIRE
mentioned in the first paragraph—
The darn thing has curled up and
died—
Is not working at all right now.
But those telephone boys will get
it fixed—
Electrical disturbance or no.

ation of a school band.
The agitation got under way
several days ago when students
learned that Mrs. Edna Neigh
bors, for many years a teacher
in the commercial department,

were not to be re-elected. In a
movement launched by members
of the senior class, a petition
bearing 264 signatures was pres
ented members of the school
board requesting the retention of
the teachers.
When no action and no answer
resulted from the petition, mem
bers of this jiea/r’s freshmen,
sophomore and junior classes

pupil would enroll next year in a
course conducted by a new teach
er who will replace those of this
year.

2 TO 5-INCH
RAIN FALLS
OVERVALLEY
First Precipitation In
Months Seen As
Great Benefit
BULLETIN
Texas tomatoes reached a peak
price for the season of $3 a lug
in New York this morning, due to
the scarcity of the crop. A wide
range of prices was noted on the
New York market, ranging from
S2 to 2.75, with $3 paid for the
best quality stuff.
Price to the growers in the Val
ley is expected to open at the
season’s high as soon as pick
ing can be resumed following the
rain.
The Valley’s first “real rain” since
October of last year fell last night—
and was still falling today.
The precipitation ranged from 2.27
inches at Brownsville to 4.70 inches
at Mercedes at 7 o’clock this morn
ing.
Whether the rain will prove a
blessing depends largely on the
weather from now on.
Value to Citrus
It is expected to prove of great
value to the citrus industry. It will
be of great benefit to the cotton
crop unless it continues rainy for j
weeks.
And it may not cut into the to
mato crop, now nearing a close, if
it is not followed by hot sunshine
I the next few days,
j Reports received by the Browns
, ville Weather Bureau office this
1 morning showed the following pre
cipitation: Mercedes, 4.70; Hidalgo,
| 2.45; Rio Grande City, 1.04; Eagle
i Pass, 1.78; Laredo .23; Brownsville,
1.86 with an additional .41 by noon.
This is the first measurable rain
; .once April 26 and the first rain of
more than a quarter inch since
April 5. when there was a precipi
j tation of .37.
It is the first “real rain’' since
last October, relieving on of the
most extended periods of rain defi
ciency on record since that time.
“The rainfall will unquestionably
be of benefit to the Valley as a
whole,” said W. J. Schnurbusch.
meteorologist in charge of the
weather bureau station here.
“The situation was beginning to
be serious from the prolonged
: drouth."
May Cut Into Tomato**
W. E. McDavitt, veteran Valley
produce dealer, said that effect on
the tomato deal depends on the
weather the next few days. “Hot sun
shine right after the rain will dam
age the tomatoes,’’ Mr. McDavitt
said. “If the weather is right, the
crop may not be damaged much,
and may even he prolonged, small
tomatoes developing after the rain.”
It had been estimated before the
rain that the Valley would ship 000
or 700 more carloads of tomatoes.
The shipments now are problemati
cal, depending on the weather, and
on how soon other sections start
shipping. Later tomatoes may be
valuable in view of the fact that

F. D. REQUESTS
NEW STEP FOR
STABJUMION
Stegall Says Act Is
Part Of Relief
h Program
WASHINGTON, May 26. «V
Pres. Roosevelt has decided that the
United States should go off the
gold standard by statute.
He today requested Chmn. Stea
gall of the house banking commit
tee to introduce a resolution to place
the United States off the standard
by law.
Repeals Gold Act
The Alabama democrat conferred
with the president at the White
House.
Later he called newspapermen to
his office and read a copy of the
resolution which he said “declares
the United States is off the gold
standard by statute.
“It repeals the ‘gold standard act’
Steagall said.
Adding that under the resolution,
no bonds, no obligations of the fed
eral government and no obligations
of any form would have to be paid
in gold or gold currency upon the
enactment of the measure.
He said it would be possible for
the foreign debtors to pay the Unit
ed States their war debts in any
legal ’money.
"This bill frees the United States
from the obstacles and handicaps of
the gold standard,” he declared.
“It is an aministration bill and
a part of Pres. Roosevelt’s emer
gency relief program.”
‘Stabilizing Step’
In adidtion, Steagall said the law
would make it unnecessary for
Pres. Roosevelt to devaluate the pold
dollar under the inflation provisions
of the farm relief act.
Steagall termed the measure one
of the greatest steps toward stabl:*
ing money in the United States.
All legal money under this act, he
asserted, would meet all obligations
payable in gold.
Ohmn. Fletcher of the senate
banking committee will introduce
an identical resolution in the S3n
ate.
Early hearings will be held and
Steagall expects action to come in
both congressional branches next
week.
Steagall immediately introduced
the bill in the house and made the
following statement:
“I give it as my humble judg
ment that this bill marks a final,
definite and determinate step that
will bring a revival of business and
restoration of prosperity and hap
piness to the American people.”
To Give Uniform Value
The resolution is entitled, “to
assure uniform value to the coins
and currencies of the United
States,’’ and reads as follows:
“Whereas the holding or dealing
in gold affect the public interest,
and are therefore subject to proper
regulation and restriction, and
“Whereas the existing emergency
has disclosed that provisions of
obligations which purport to give
the obligee a right to require pay
ment in gold or a particular kind
of coin or currency of the United
States, or in an amount in money
of the United States measured
thereby, obstruct the power of the
congress to regulate the value of
the money of the United States,
and are inconsistent with the de
clared policy of the congress to
maintain at all times the equal
power of every dollar, coined or
issued by the United States, in the
markets and in the payment of
debts* *•.
