CALFORN|AMs COMING
TO SOUTH TEXAS
Find Conditions Here More Favorable
for Citrus Fruits Than on the
Pacific Coast.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle.l


Edna, Texas. Jan. 2S.-For the past
two years there has been steady in
flow of people from California to
Texas, those coming here having been
attracted by the climate and the adap-
liability of soil and general conditions
for citrus fruit and vegetable culture.
This immigration from the Pacinc
Nope to this part OF the country has
been much augmented lately by the
purchase of a large ranch in Jackson
county which will be divided into
small citrus fruit farms and occupied
by people who have grown familiar
with the culture of this fruit in Cali
fornia.
II is maintained by those in posi-
ton to know that natural conditions
are better here for the cultivation OF
oranges. lemons, grapefruit and many
varieties of the grape than in Cali
fornia The fact, too, that nurseries
find ready sale for all the young trees
they can produce Is another argument
in favor OF South Texas as a citrus
fruit country.
