By RALPH L BUELL
ARTHUR HIPP OF BROWN8
viUe, manager of the Valley branch
of Desel-Boettcher company, whole
salers In fruits, vegetables, produce—
Has had a very good working ex
ample of how pro-ration of fruit
shipments Is worked by the Cali
fornia Citrus exchange.
The exchange Is now marketing
one of the biggest crops of lemons the
state has had In years.
And shipments are actually being
pro-rated-and how!
Mr. Hlpp wanted a car of lemons
the other day—
He wired the exchange for a price
on a car.
estate answer came back that no
nsbir cars would be loaded that week
(this was on Friday)—
But that one car was rolling to
San Antonio.
And that a price would be quoted
on the car WHEN It reached San
Antonio.
• • •
NOW WE COME TO THE MEAT
in the cooonut.
So wisely had shipments been pro
rated—
So carefully had the crop been
marketed.
That a very sizable hike in price
of lemons was made possible.
Anri that In the face of the biggest
j^tnrtn crop In yean In California.
This column remarked once, with
reference to the Drake Estate and
its support—
That “there is no law to keep a
from making a fool of him
•elf."
The same thing goes with refer
ence to Valley citrus shippers and
growers—
Who refuse to take advantage oi
the very excellent example being
set by California citrus interests—
And the more than 30 years of ex
perience that California gives us for
nothing.

YOU READ IN THE BROWNB
vhl* Herald the other day of the
changes made by the U. B. Weaih
erBureau for hurricane forecasting.
Additional advices reaching The
Herald now indicate that the prin
cipal gulf cities are to be connected
by teletype with each Other
Making possible a constant inter
change of information, and further
making possible up-to-the-minute
forecasts for the benefit of the pub
lic.
Stations to be thus connected are
Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Gal
veston, Houston, Port Arthur, Mo
bile, Pensacola, Key West, Tampa
■nri Miami.
Residents of the Valley can ap
preciate just what such a set-up will
mean, and how much better the ser
vice to be afforded.
The new plan follows almost ex
actly the recommendations of the
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce
made after the 1933 storm.

HOW LARGE MUST AN EGO BE
to be large?
That s the momentous question
that had The Herald editorial staff
guessing Tuesday.
A* hen's egg we mean.
•nils 8 and one-half ounce egg pro
duced by J. F. Posey's hen, and ex
hibited by Jacksons was the casus
belli.
We all knew that the egg was
bound to be classed as “large” be
cause some of us saw It.
S Finally somebody remembered that
Tinder the NRA code for poultry
men—
O r Is it the code tor hens?
Eggs must weigh 23 ounces to the
down.
That made the egg in question
pretty darn large If anybody asked
us.
But it does seem that there are a
lot of things to know in this world,
doesn't it?

OF EXISTENCE
Senate Committee Votes Tr
Recommend Continuance
Until April 1
WASHINGTON. May 1. UP)—The
senate finance committee Wednes
day disregarded the administration’s
recommendation for a two-year ex
tension of NRA and voted to con
tinue the present law with three
changes until April' 1 of next year.
As another step in the long con
troversy over the Blue Eagle ad
ministration, the oommittee voted 16
to 3 to report out a resolution ex
tending the present law with a pro
hibition against price fixing, and a
limitation of codes to interestate
business.
A third provision would give
President Roosevelt a brief period to
review present codes in order to
make them conform with the two
changes in the law.
The action was taken without a
formal record vote In a two hour
executive session marked by virtual
unanimity of opinion.
Chairman Harrison announcing
the action refused to aay whether
it was satisfactory to President
Roosevelt.
The chief executive recommended
tc congress a two-year extension of
NRA but in a conference with con
gressional leaders Tuesday was re
ported to have agreed to sign a res
olution merely extending the re
covery law until next spring if con
gress prefered that method.

OVER OIL FIELD
Brownsville people Wednesday
were seriously considering the offi
cial “adoption'' of the pew oil field
discovered by the Union 8ulphur
company in view of latest develop
ments in the ‘TH claim the field"
game.
With the claim of Mercedes dis
puted by Edcouch, Elsa. La Villa,
Santa Rosa and possibly other
points, Weslaco stepped into the
fray and decided that since the
well proved an oiler instead of a
“pickier" that city would claim It.
About the same time McAllen
issued a warning for business men
not to raise rents "because of the
oil well discovered to the east of
McAllen, which will cause an in
flux of oil men.”
So Wednesday Brownsville was
seriously considering the official
adoption of the well as the new
Brownsville Field, while claims
from Harlingen. San Benito, Mis
