BARUCH WANTS
VINDICATION,
OR CONVICTION
WASHINGTON. March 27.-<*)
A ringing demand was made by
Bernard M. Baruch, former chair
man of the World War Industrie*
board, to “put an end to the in
sinuations or innuendos” about him
or to “find me guilty of violation of
the trust and confidence imposed
upon me during that period.'
Appearance of the tall white
haired advisor to several presidents
created a stir in the packed hearing
room In the senate office building.
Arriving ahead of committee
members, he graciously greeted each
one as he appeared and presented
to them his companion Herbert
Bayard Swope, assistant chairman
of the war industries board under
Baruch
"As the question of my fitness to
pass an opinion upon the grave
social problem of war profits lies in
a test of my character," he said, be
ginning a formal presentation be
fore the committee, “and as it is
evident that a test Is to be made
of the question of my record during
the service I gave my country. It
seems to me the course to follow is
to plunge at once into that subject,
so that you mas either put an end
to the insinuations and Innuendoes,
the existence of which I would be
childish to deny: or that you find
me guilty of violation of the trust
and confidence Imposed upon me
during that period."

WINTER CROPS
GO BACK TO ’07
(Special to The Herald) _
HARLINGEN. March 27. — The
production of winter vegetables in
the Valley first assumed commer
cial proportions in 1907 when 781
carloads were shipped, according
to a circular (No. 73* Just Issued by
the Texas Agricultural Experiment
station and entitled. "The Produc
tion of Winter Vegetable* in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley.”
The circular, which contains 39
pages of information, is comple
mentary to the circular. “The Pro
duction of Spring Vegetables in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley.”
Onions accounted for 48 per cent
and cabbage for 22 per cent of the
1907 shipments. Lettuce became im
portant as a commercial crop rela
tively early in the development of
the vegetable industry in this re
gion. Carrots and beets assumed
importance in 1921 and anise, broc
coli. endive, parsley, spinach and
turnips in 1925. The production of
winter vegetables has increased to
a peak of 15.830 carloads in 1930.
Cabbage has been the most im
portant vegetable crop since 1909
10. Trends in vegetable production
during the period from 1907 to 1925
have been toward greater diversifi
cation. but crops such as cabbage,
beets and carrots have formed the
bulk of the shipments of winter
vegetables for the past ten years.
An Interesting feature in the devel
opment of the Valley’s vegetable in
dustry is the marked fluctuation in
i the carlot shipments of certain ve
getables and the rather uniform
annual production of others. Let
tuce production has dropped from
a peak of 200 carloads in 1911-12
to 12 carloads in 1930-31. while
parsley production has increased
from four carloads in 1923-24 to a
peak of 217 in 1929-30. Onions,
once a very important crop in the
irrigated section, are now grown
almost exclusively on unirrigated
land principally in Willacy county.
The bulletin goes on to discuss
the climate, soils, water, market
outlets, season of shipment, com
petition from other regions, selec
tion of crops, planting guide, pre
paration of land for planting, sel
ection of varieties, cultivation and
weeding, irrigation. harvesting,
marketing, control of disease and
insects, and detailed descriptions
of all vegetables planted and pro
per method of growing them.
W. H. Friend, superintendent of
the experiment station at Weslaco,
is author of the circular who ack
nowledges assistance of 8 W. Clark,
entomologist at the Valley station,
in preparing sections dealing with
insect pest control.

Hopkins Preparing
To Become Greatest
Spender of History
WASHINGTON, March 27.—<AV
Resting Wednesday in Florida,
Harry L. Hopkins was beheved to
be revolving in his mind Just what
he will do when—as the capital ex
pects — he becomes the biggest
spender on earth.
The federal emergency relief
administrator, who held long and
significant conferences with Pres
ident Rooeevelt on the train that
carried the chief executive south
ward to #his fishing vacation, is
named in a high administration
quarter as the choice for big boss
of the $4,880,000,000 works and re
lief program.
If events should confirm this
forecast the poor boy who rose
from an Iowa harness-maker's shop
through the ranks of social workers
will conduct the most gigantic test
of clashing theories ever attempted
Friends of the works program—
which has now been sent to a con
ference between senate and house
say that it will put 3.500.000 desti
tute people to work, speed recovery
by stimulating private Industry
and that the debt incurred can
easily be paid off when good times
come back. Critics say that no one
can spend $4,880,000,000 wisely in a
short time, that even if the money
is spent quickly it will not do the
things claimed for it, and that the
debt will endanger the govern
ment’s credit.
The vast new program is being
planned at a time when the federal
reserve board finds that industrial
output for February lagged behind
the ordinary seasonal upturn for
the month. Motor cars were an ex
ception: they were being manufac
tured at an unusual rate. But the
board announced that its index
containing allowances for seasonal
variation—declined from 91 per
cent of the 1923-25 average in
January to 89 per cent in February
The emphasis in the coming
works drive, informed sources said,
was to be speed. That was beheved
TRY THIS NEW
FOOT REMEDY
Costs Little and Makes Feet Feel Fine
Foot sufferers gather round; get right,
up close and listen Here's good news
for you.
The real "Corn Killer" la here at last
Ice-Mint, the New Discovery la said to
quickly end foot misery.
Hard corns, soft corns, or corns be
tween the toes, also toughened cal
louses. Just shrivel up and lift off easy
It’s wonderful. There is no pain or sore
ness when applying Ice-Mint or after
wards. and It doesn't even Irritate the
skin.
Think of It; Juat a touch or two of
that cooling, soothing Ice-Mint, and
real foot Joy la yours.
Ice-Mint prevents foot-odors and
Keeps them sweet and comfortable It
is the real secret for fine, healthy feet,
and keeps you free from foot troubles
Every person who has suffered with
stubborn corns or tender feet can ap
preciate the cooling, soothing comfort
that It brings; especially women who
wear high heeled shoes, and men who
have to stand all day on their feet Try
It. Get a few cents worth of Ice-Mint
from youi druggist today and give your
poor, tired, suffering, burning feet the
treat of their lives. There la nothing
better—Adv.
to be a jaason that Hopkins was
mentioned for the chief responsi
bility. rather than Secretary Ickes,
who is expected in authoritative
quarters to play a comparatively
minor role. Ickes is noted for cau
tion and his handling of the $3.
300.000. 000 public works appropria
tion led some adherents of the
'*C>ump-priming" theory to contend
the money was not spent fast
enough.
Conferees from both senate and
house, to whom the huge bill was
entrusted Tuesday over the opposi
tion of silverlies in the latter
chamber, were expected to knock
out the Thomas silver inflation
rider attached by the senate and
to make other changes
Meanwhile a PWA inventory of
possible work-making projects list
ed 128.000 of them that would cost
119.500.000. 000. Perhaps 11.000.000.
000 is expected to be spent on a
national, coordinated land-use pro
gram. of which Rexford O. Tug
well is mentioned as the probable
head.
Unless an amendment added to
the bill by the senate is finally
dropped. Hopkins, in order to take
over the work will have to be con
firmed by the senate.
