SURVEY SHOWS
SLIGHT EFFECT
OF CROP SLICE
Great Vegetable Hike
Fails To Follow On
Cotton Retirement
Acreage
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO, July 19. — The
Valley's fear that other sections
might plant vegetables on lands re
tired from cotton, wheat and oth-1
er major crops under national j
acreage reduction programs has not
been substantiated, according to
information recevied by Henry Als
meyer. Cameron county farm agent.
A study has just beep completed
by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture indicating that in
creased production of commercial
vegetable crops during 1934 and
1935 has been influenced only
slightly by reductions in acreage of
major crops The study indicates
that this increase has been main
ly in commercial vegetable growing
areas where the bulk of the ex
pansion of vegetable crops has
taken place in former years.
During the decade from 1925 to
1935, the commercial acreage of 21
vegetable crops Increased from 2.
150.000 acres to 2.906.000 acres or 35
per cent
Programs adjusting production of
major crops including wheat, cot
ton. tobacco, corn and hogs affect
a large number of states. Among
those wholly or almost wholly
planted to these major crops are
Texas, cotton; North and South
Carolina, tobacco and cotton; Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska, wheat, corn
and hogs; North and South Dakota
and Idaho, wheat. The study shows
that the total Increase in acreage
of all market vegetables except po
tatoes In this group of states for
the two years from July 1. 1933 to
July 1. 1935 amounts to 50.335 acres
43 against an increase of vegetable
acreage for the entire country foi
the same period of 657.405 acres.
STAR OF ‘FRONT PAGE WOMAN’
The great dramatic star. Bette Davis, .shines again in a new tvne of
role, that of a girl reporter in Warner Bros ' Front Page Woman”.
George Brent appears opposite her. ably assisted by Roscoe Karas,
Wini Shaw, J. Carroll Nalsh and Walter Walker. Showing Friday and
Saturday at the Capitol. Brownsville.
The increase for these states, in
other words, represents only ap
proximately 7.6 per cent of the
country's increased acreage or only
1.7 per cent of the country’s acreage
devoted to vegetables. Figures cov
ering potatoes for the entire period
under study are not as yet avail
able.
A study conducted by the re
placement crops section of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administra
tion last fall reached similar con
clusions. This survey mdicated
that land retired under contract
from the production of cotton and
tobacco was not being used for
commercial planting of potatoes or
other truck crops.

TAXES STUDIED
Smaller Incomes Would
Stay As Are, But Big
Ones Would Be Hit
WASHINGTON July 19. (A*<—
Strong favor Is developing In the
house ways and means committee
for new "income tax rates which
would leave the smaller Income tax
payer as he is but take away nearly
three-quarters of a $10,000,000 In
come. The present tax on $10,000,
000 Is about 63 per cent.
Those questioned about the matter
were careful to emphasise that no
decision had been reached by the
committee, which is studying 29 dif
ferent schedules. They said. howe%'er.
that the one which has arcuaed spe
cial interest among them Is a “mid
dle of the road” idea and therefore
worthy of particular study.
Committee democrats have singled
out this schedule for analysis by
their own expert. Lovell H. Parker,
chief of staff of the Joint congres
sional committee on internal rev
enue. He prepared statistics com
paring the proposed new schedule
with existing taxes as well as thoae
levies in 1918. 1919. 1924 and 1926
In its present form the schedu,“
does not lncraase oresent rates on
incomes below $160 000 a year It
was said that while the l^wer limit
might be dropped to *10 000. it cer
tainly would not go below that.
It is estimated that the new
-chedule. if rates we*-* not boost*'*
on income below *150.000. would
brine in *20.400.000 a year in addi
tional revenue: t*-» rates, tho^h

Serial
A Short Speech
By Frederic J. Haskin
As director of tbe largest newspaper infor
mation bureau in tbe world. I have been del
uged with questions about the Government.
What was being done about the depression?
About tax reduction? About the crime wave?
Lately the questions have been directed
largely to the activities of the New Deal.
How can I get a job? What is the first
of the Alphabet Bureaus? How many Alpha
bets are there?
For the most part, tbe public wanted in
formation about the innumerable governmen
tal activities. People were bewildered, dazed,
at a loss to know what was going on. and how
it affected them.
This seemed to call for a book by some one
who bad the facilities to compile the vast
amount of data required.
Thus my new book. Tbe American Gov
ernment Today, was born.
I believe it to be a worthy successor to my
• earlier books on the Government. It is up to
date. It covers every important Federal activ
ity. It does not espouse a cause or oppose
a policy. It is a straight story of facts.
It is my belief that The American Govern
ment Today is tbe most valuable work I have
ever offered tbe poblic. Your newspaper
is helping me by calling your attention to it.
and co-operating in its distribution.
To bring tbe book within the reach of
every one. its price is $1 the copy, postage pre
paid. to any address in the United States—
$1.25 to any foreign address.
You really need this book to keep and reft»r
to. If you order your copy now 1 will be
glad to sign my name in it.
I Thank You!
Frederic J. Haskin.
