Joe Koniakowsky Owner
And Operator Employees
All Valley Labor
To understand how fast the Low-
er Rio Grande Valley is getting to
the point where it can live unto it-
self one has only to visit such mod-
emly equipped coffee roasting plants
as the Delta Cpffee company has in-
stalled at Harlingen.
This Valley institution is owned
and operated by Joe Koniakowsky
who has spent more than ten years
in the coffee roasting business and
knows the processes necessary to
give coffees the fine flavors desired
by every household. His machinery
is modern in every way and the
plant is now running at a top ca-
pacity of more than a car load each
month.
The merchants of the Valley can
now be assured that they can buy
their coffee stocks just as they need
them for their trade. It is not
necessary as heretofore to buy in
large quantities and risk having
merchandise become shelf worn.
When you patronize the Delta
Coffee comnany you are helping to
build up the needed industries of
the. Valley. Mr. Koniakowsky em-
ployes more than 12 factory pibple.
all Valley folks and keep three
salesmen on the road.
Anytime you happen to be in
Harlingen pay the Delta Coffee
company a visit and see how good
coffee is roasted. •

sninach and potatoes moved to mar-
ket last month and the country-
wide carlot movement of 22 im-

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. April 15.
—(&)—Returning her owner $8 for
each $1 in feed consumed in 1928
a purebred Holstein cow of the Jo-
seph H. Brew’er herd was worth
more in gross receipts than many
whole herds in Michigan and other
states.
In 365 days she produced 27.000.5
pounds of milk containing 1.210
pounds of butter. The output sold
as certified milk at 75 cents a gal-
lon brought Brewer $2597.58. Her
fed cost $322.30.

Brownsville Marble
And Granite Co. is
Modernly Equipped
Brownsville has right in its midst
a business that of its kind is cen-
turies old. A lot of the worl’ds
greatest pieces of lierature philoso-
phy and laws have come down to us
from the chiselled inscriptions on
stones from even pre-historic ages.
This business still thrives in our
monument factories and the tools
and implements used are much the
same as in the centuries of Moses
and the 12 tables of stone.
The Brownsville Marble and
Granite Works is one of the best
equipped shops of its kind in South
Texas and has the largest stock of
fine memorial stones of any shop
of its kind in this part of the coun-
try.

SPROUTED OATS FAIL
TO BENEFIT POULTRY
MORGANTOWN W. Va„ April
15.—(>F)—Setting at naught the
theory of a practice already well
established in some parts of the
country the college of agriculture
University of West Virginia says
its experiments have failed to dem-
onstrate any value resulting from
sprouted oats in the winter ration
for poultry.
In addition to questioning the
nutritional value the college says
sprouted oats noted for prevent-
ing scurvy cannot be recommended
on that score since poultry appar-
ently is immune to the disease.
NAPLES—Pietro Saldini commit-
ted three holdups dressed as a
woman before he was captured.
Wigingtcn is an artist when it
comes to chiseling inscriptions and
designs into stone. He has followed
and studied the business for more
than 11 years. For the past two years
or more he has been serving the
public with first class monuments
in the Ldwer Rio Grande Valley.
Mr. Wigington handles both do-
mestic and foreign stones in either
marble or granite. He says that
he prefers the Texas granite as it
is as fine stone as there is to be had
anywhere in the world.
There is an advantage of deal-
ing with a home concern like the
Brownsville Marble and Granite
Works as you select the kind of
stone you want and see the design
or inscription in the making.
JUICE GRAPE GROWERS
'FORESEE LOWER PRICE
§ANTA ROSA Cal. April 15.—(/P)
Juice grapes are expected to share
the raisin’s troubles during the
forthcoming season.
Until recently the Juice grapes en-
joyed a favorable price position in
comparison to other types of the
vine product. The acreage however
has been steadily growing while the
prices have fallen. The expansion
of the juice grape industry did not
occur as early as that of the other
type but has been consistent with
a consequent larger supply which
is not so readily absorbed.

LEGUMES ARE
INOCULATED
Farmers Band Together To
Study Effects of New
Methods
WASHINGTON April 15.—(&)—A
study* of spring planting plans by
the department of agriculture
shows farmers are using three
methods of inoculating the seed of
legumes to insure proper develop-
ment of the root nodules essential
to the fixation of nitrogen from
the air.
The most common perhaps is
the application of a liquid pure
culture to the seed. Another is to
distribute the bacterial culture in
dry soil and spread this on the
field. Others apply to the field a
jelly-like substance made from sea-
weed known as agar and contain-
ing bacteria.
Nitrogen fixation from the air
takes place only if the legumes har-
bor the proper bacteria in their root
nodules. As a rule legumes with-
out well developed root nodules do
not attain a fully satisfactory de-
velopment. It is not the legume
itself but the bacteria in the nod-
ules that gathers the free nitrogen
and transform it into compounds
which are taken up by the host
plant. By this means legumes pro-
duce large quantities of organic
material rich in nitrogen which is
valued aS human and animal food.
First experiments in the inocula-
tion of legumes were made in Eu-
rope 40 years ago. At present sev-
eral hundred thousand cultures of
bacteria are distributed annually in
the United States and Europe. It
is estimated all the cultures are
sufficient for only about two per
cent of the legumes planted in this
country.
BRAZILIAN COTTON MAY
BOOST YIELD IN TEXAS
CENTER Tex. April 15.—OF)—A
species of South American cotton
may bring vast increases in pro-
duction on Texas farms.
Three thousand acres of Brazil
cotton developed by Prof. Thomas
R. Day of Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical college during his 20
years in South America will be
planted this year to provide seed
for farmers throughout the state.
Less than an acre was planted
as an experiment last year on the
farm of Clifton Largent. It pro-
duced twice the ordinary quantity
and brought four cents a pound
more than other varieties of cot-
ton.
OIL MEN PLANT ALFALFA
COALINGA Calif. April 15.—(&)
—A California oil company while
waiting for development Is plan-
ning to add to its inco"me by plant-
ing 100 acres of alfalfa on its hold-
ings five miles from here. This re-
verses the usual condition in an oil
region. Ordinarily farmers are
looking to oil developments to
bring them wealth.
