NORTHERN CABBAGE CROP
NAT WETZEL SAYS 1T Is LESS
THAN 1T HAS BEEN FOR YEARS
PRICES $50 TO 500 PER TON.

Writing to The Herald from Kansas
City. Nat Wetzeh president of the South
crn Land Company. of La Feria, says:
II find from investigation that the cab
bage crop of the North is less than it has
been for many years, the prevailing
wholesale price at this time ranging from
$50 to 800 per ton. | think ii is il mis-
take to conceal this information from the
farmers Of the Valley, for why should
they be deprived Of the opportunity when
it does present itself. and particularly 50
since they have to foregO loss and dis
aSter when there is no market.
I'm my judgment there is no question
but that there will be a market at a good
profitable price for more cabbage than
the Rio Grande Valley will raise, and |
think the news should be given to the
farmers. If they raise and sell their cab
bage to the people they can get out of
debt this year. and | say this knowing
whereof | talk"

CRADLE REPORT on BRAZOS SAN.

Gus SECRETARY.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1913-11-07
HE is OPTIMISTIC THAT A FAVOR
ABLE RECOMMENDATION WILL
GO TO BOARD OF ENGINEERS
FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

Louis CobOlini. chairman of the Water
Chamber of Commerce, loaded down with
maps and statistics showing the past and
Grande Valley left this afternoon for
Galveston on what he hopes will be his
last trip before the favorable recOmmen-
.dation for the improvement of Brazos
Santiago harbor. Mr.. Cobolini on this
trip intends to remain in Galveston until
Lieut.. Colonel c. 5. Richie. United States
engineer, has made his report on the
project, which local men have every rea-
son to believe will be favorable.
In reference to waterways and freight
rates, Commodore CObolini said before
leaving:
"A line of oil barges passes our door
every day, going to Texas City, Calves
ton and other points east. The same oil
comes back to Brownsville by rail, doub
ling q trip Of $50 miles, or 100 miles al
together. Deep water at BraZos Santiago
will give us an oil station and an oil
pipe line to supply oil to the Valley.
"A shipload Of commodities landing in
Galveston from Boston, New York and
other points east at fifteen and twenty
cents a hundred, costs the people Of the
Valley from fiftyeight cents to $40 per
hundred and still greater rates are
charged.
Brownsville and the VALLEY must move
or every iota Of its vitality will be Slapped
from it, and only 4 miserable existence
will be left.
II am going where | can press my ap-
peal for Il prompt report, $ that il can
reach the Board Of United States En-
%gineers for q Christmas present and the
Rivers and Harbors Board III January.
where the people will be able to appear
and present to our representatives the
urgent necessity and demand that their
need be served. | have no doubt the re
port will be approved by the boards.
AT no time since the founding Of
Brownsville and the Lower Rio Grande
Valley have brighter prospects smiled
upon the people of this section. NJ man
can realize the great future Of the Valley.

our prosperity wagon shall not faltcr.
The one who refuses to help and push on
such an occasion should be stamped and
registered and shipped to a warmer eli
mate-he is not a friend to the Lower
Rio Grande Valley"
Mr.. CObolini said that he has been
forced to fOrcgo his trip to Washington
to attend the meeting of the National
Congress. which meets there on the 18th
18th and Goth. He stated it is necessary
that he be in Galveston at all times be-
tween now and the time the report OF
Col. Richie is made. as he is assisting the
engineer in the matter of statistics con
corning the country tributary to Browns
Vile and the Valley.
