ONLY MASSEY-HARRIS PLOWS HAVE THESE
3 Cacludiue “ealuei
Perhaps you haven't thought of it this way, but chances are
you're losing money every time you use your old plow. If your
plow wheels wobble and if the frame of your plow is even slightly
out of line, the result can only be heavy draft... excessive use of
power. The logical answer is a new, modern, high-speed plow—a
Massey-Harris No. 28 plow with three exclusive
features for long life and faster, easier plowing!
After you see the No. 28 plow with its three exclusive features plus
dozens of other practical improvements you’ll decide to MAKE IT

Counties Won By
Stevenson
Coke Stevenson, trailing in the
total vote, carried a majority of
Texas’ 254 counties in the Uni-
ted States Senate race, the Tex-
as Election Bureau’s reports show
ed Saturday.
Stevenson led in 144 counties
and Johnson in 108. Two coun-
ties, Hansford and Kinney, did
not hold second primary elect-
ions.
Three of the four big-city coun
ties, Dallas, Harris, and Tarrant,
went to Stevenson by substant-
ial majorities. Johnson carried
the fourth, Bexar, by a margin
of 99 votes.
Johnson fared better in the
next most populous voting cent-
ers. He carried Jefferson, Tra-
vis, McLennan, Nueces, Hidalgo,
Cameron, El Paso, Lubbock, and
Webb Counties by wide mar-
gins. In the same voting brac-
ket, Stevenson received a majori-
ty in Galveston County.
SOUTH TEXAS COTTON
SAMPLES RATE AVERAGE
First cotton samples from ear-
ly-harvesting South Texas areas
rated average or above in recent
fiber and spinning tests, the De-
partment of Agriculture report-
ed.
Pure varieties grown by cotton
improvement groups were tested
in special laboratories at College
Station and graded on such qua-
lities as fiber strength, maturity
and yarn strength.
“On the test for yarn strength,
perhaps the most important sing-
le index of spinning quality
grades ranged from “excellent to
average” with most of the samp-
le being rated “very good”, the
report said.
When tested specifically for
fiber strength and fineness, most
of the samples rated very strong,
strong and average..
Full report on the tests has
been issued by the department.

Collects 100,000 Bugs
About 100,000 assorted spiders,
moths and beetles were obtained
for the Museum of Natural his-
tory in New York, City, by a
collecting staff it sent on a three
month expedition into Mexico.
Dr. Mont. A. Cazier, leader of
the expedition, said the collection
contained several hundred in-
sects previously unknown to en-
tomologists. The party also cap-
tured several trap-door spiders
that live in a hole ingeniously
fitted with a door the spider can
open and close.
Malaria-carrying mosquitoes
and rattlesnakes added to the
hazards of the expedition. Dr.
