SHIPS FRUIT EARLY
Much of Northern Fancy
Produce from Texas.

NAUeTlcdn NEWS SeFNlccD
San Antonio, Tex, May s-Express
shipments have been going out of the
Lower Rio Grande valley, particular
ly from the vicinities of Mission and
Brownsville. for the past five days,
the first shipment having been made
on May /. While it is not unusual
for that section of country to ship can
teloupes to the northern market by the
first of May. there is something unus-
ual in the fact that the land on which
some of these were grown, is actually
producing its fourth crop since March
l, 1910. The crops in order were as
follows: Sweet corn, beans, fall vege-
tables taken from the fields in Deem
Der last. and canteloupes. 1t is said
ped that the production is as fine as
the famous Rocky Ford is and brings
the highest price in the larger cities
of the north and east. Last year the
valley was in the market early in
May with watermelons and one resi-
dent boosted of roasting ears the first
Sunday in May. This year the roast
ing ear record has been broken and
several localities in the valley have
been shipping this table delicacy north
for the past ten days. where it retails
at the fancy price of 60 cents a Dozen
The same price prevails in this city
for valley grown sweet corn and it is
offered for sale at all the market
stalls. Just south of this city melon
farmer who has made specially of
the business for number of years
says that prospects justify the belief
that he will net 500 per acre on his
crop this year. Shipments will begin
in the next ten or fifteen days. Early
berries such as black berries and dew
berries have been on the market for
the past two weeks and it is said that
Texas has never seen such a crop of
the wild variety as is present this
year. Many of the large ranches, par
ticularly those in the southwark, are
clouded in places with the ripening
berries and hundreds of Mexicans,
both men and women. are employed to
pick them. Many car load shipments
have been sent northward, but it is
estimated that the crop is SO large
this year, due to abundant rain that
at least one-third of it will go to
waste.
