By Way Of Illustration

L. H. Romig, prominent resident of
Mission, while over in San Antonio last
week, in the course of a conversation
regarding agricultural matters in our sec
ton of the Valley, stated to an Express
reporter, by way of illustration, that
farmer named John Wagner, who landed
in the Valley from South Dakota, on
March Is, had made wonderful record
in farming this year. He rented tract
of thirty-fve acres from Jones & Eangli
and commenced farming at once, finish
ing his cotton planting on April S. July
20 he ginned his first bale, this was fol-
lowed by thirty-six more, making a total
of thirty seven bales on thirt-6ve acres.
These bales averaged 500 pounds each
and were sold for an average price of Is
cents pound, totaling $2,4O5. Out of
this cotton came eighteen and one-half
tons of cotton seed. which he sold at $21
per ton, or total of $388.50, making the
total ~, 1880. The entire cost of pro-
duction, seed, three irrigations, six culti-
vations, picking and ginning was $485.24.
This left net profit for the thirty-ive
acres of So, 308.50. On this same land
Mr.. Wagner has planted California pink
beans which will mature in time to be
harvested and marketed by December l,
in ample time to plant spring truck
crop. This method of rotating makes
possible three crops in twelve months on
the same land. Several other farmers
in the Valley have done nearly as we'll
this year as Mr.. Wagner. Who would
wish to do better?

in his mouth left over from his associa-

Hear what he says in the following
item: The Mothers Club of Audubon has
changed its name. They had so many
old maids and women without children
in it that the name became odious to a
majority of the people in town, hence

AS Sunday was our pious day, We

AS Sunday was our pious day, wa
went around to the M. T.. church ac-
cording to our habit. where we heard a
brief but excellent sermon, preparatory
to a communion service which was par
ticipated in by about l75 persons. The
individual communion cups were used
for the first time in that church on Sun
day. To say the least, they are more
convenient and sanitary than the old
method. Incidentally let us say that
Mr.. Freedline is a strong and effective
preacher. On Sunday evenings his SER
mons are on special subjects, among
them being Night Scenes in the Bible;
which have been very attractive. He is
backed up literally and figuratively by
good choir whose singing is pleasing
part of the service.

LUxURIANT LEMON ORCHARD.
Farmer Demonstrates Adaptability of
Crop To This Section.

If actual production means anything,
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is destined
to become heavy producer of lemons.
This fact has been demonstrated on the
w. K. Mendenhall farm two miles east
of Brownsville. On this place is some
thing less than one-third of an acre. of
Villa Franco lemons which were set out
four years ago. The trees are now be-
ginning to bear, and it is estimated that
something like eight boxes will be taken
from the orchard this season.
Mr.. Mendenhall, talking of his orch
ards to San Antonio Express reporter,
said:
u 81 am pleased with the showing that
my lemon and grape orchards have made
since the time of planting, not quite four
years ago. have never seen more
rapid and healthful growth. This con-
vinces me that these two fruits are es-
pecially adapted to this section of the
country, and | expect to increase the
acreage this fall with many varieties.
The lemon trees are now beginning to
bear, and while will get about eight
boxes am of the opinion the next crop
will be quite heavy. The box of lemons
placed on display In town is recognized
to be equal to any ever brought to the
city. They are smooth and of medium
size, good packers and will keep we'll. l
