- BASIC FARM
• PRICES ARE
NEARPEAKS
Staples Almost Back
• To Pre - Dep ression
Levels; Income Is
• Greatly Increased
By FREDERICK GARDNER
NEW YORK. March 11. iAV-Amer-
ican farmers and other producers of
basic staples envisioned a golden
harvest of billions of dollars Thurs-
day as pre-depression prices staged
a comeback under the impetus of a
world wide upswing.
The lean years from 1929 to the
spring of 1933 when prices skidded
to new historical lows fade in mem-
cry as the almost uninterrupted rise
since last June restores to the boards
ol commodity markets quotations
unseen in eight years.
Items Show Gain
Metals lubber wheat and other
big items oi trade between town and
• country measured in the American
dollar have recouped in a four year
period the disastrous losses of the
^ depression.
The story is sharply delineated
m these pete— 11.40 a bushel for
wheat—fourteen cent cotton six-
teen cent copper—to mention a few.
By one yardstick—The Associated
Press index of prices for thirty-five
leading commodities—prices have
risen thirty-two percent since last
May. to a point a little above ninety -
four percent of the average price in
1926
The effect of this rise on the cost
of living is being studied closely.
Many manufactured goods have been
marked up but so far. as some
statisticians figure it. mounting pay-
rolls and improvement in the buying
power of commodity producers have j
kept a lap or two in front of retail
prices.
Combination Boost* Price*
The return of pre-depression quo-
tations is attributed in Wall Street
• to a combination of forces. Mention- j
ed among the most important are
world-wide currency depreciation.
% driving speculation into commodi-
ties; government spending for war
preparations and relief expenditures
during the depression; improvement
in buying power of commodity pro-
ducers as prices went up; a big gain
in new gold production and wide-
spread industrial recovery.

Blantons Quietly Farm
As Search Is Continued
For Missing Relatives
i Special to The Herald)
SAN PERLITA March 11. —A
widow and her two sons are busy-
growing 250 acres of cotton while
waiting for Governor Allred to keep
his promise that new investigators
would be put on the job of seeking
out the supposed slayers of John
and Luther Blanton who disap-
peared allegedly on the King
ranch while on a hunt mg trip last
fall.
The governor told a group ot
Willacy county residents includ-
ing the widowed vomer. that ad-
ditional men would be put on the
case but as far as can be learned
here none have been sent. Some
feel that the new men would be
undercover agents and not rangers.
Aid Is Promised
Mrs. Blanton professed not to
know just what the governor had
promised to do. She said that the
governor had expressed implicit
faith in the honesty of Captain
Bill McMurray ranger placed m
charge of the case a week after the
disappearance of the Blantons. The
governor said that he believed Mc-
Murray would do his duty in spite
of the fact that he had once been
employed by the Kmg ranch he
said McMurray has at times ex-
pressed the wish that he had been
placed on the case before the trails
got cold.
McMurray and Ranger Joe Bridge
were in Raymondville and San
Perlita a short time Wednesday
afternoon leaving for an unan-
nounced destination. They visited
the Blanton home north of here
briefly but Mrs. Blanton said that
they did not discuss the disappear-
ance case
State highway patrolmen par-
ticularly Dan Abbott have been
working consistently on the case.
Mrs. Blanton said Wednesday
that there has never been the
slightest clue to indicate that her

LA feria. March 11.—Contrary

in Rio Hondo March 31-April 3. ac-
cording to an announcement made
by Superintendent J. B Smith of

ever seeing the pair alive and Is en-
gaged in growing cotton ■ jamb ’ up

intruders from the mighty domain
of the King ranch where the men
were said to have gone hunting.
•
Feeling la Strong
Although everything seems quiet
on the surface at San Perlita as
the Blanton neighbors go about
growing their cotton and vegetable
crops feeling continues strong.
Every possible clue is run down.
Even though a clue is based on
t mere rumor it is run down on the
chance that it might lead some-
where. Always all investigators
pull up agamst the same obstacle
absence of the bodies. It was learn-
ed here on good authority that ol-
ficers have good clues in the case
; but that unless the bodies can be
produced it will be impossible to
file murder charges.
