Deep WATER
FIRST need
SAYS TERRELL
Agricultural Commissioner
Here Talks Transpor-
tation Problem

George B. Terrell, state commits
sioner of agriculture, declared in
Brownsville this afternoon that. in
his opinion, the whole agricultural
and economic future of the Valley is
bound up in the question of deep
water at Point Isabel.
The commissioner, who came here
from Austin to look into citrus cank-
er work and inspection Of fruits and
vegetables, said that he had studied
the matter from all possible points
of view and was convinced that the
immediate pressing need of the Val
ley is for a better transportation
system with the outside world
While he is an enthusiastic advo-
cate of gravity irrigation and CO.
operative marketing, he said the
transportation problem would have
to be solved before either of these
could do tn eValley the utmost good
Gravity irrigation would vastly in
crease the producing acreage and
make irrigation much less expensive
than it is now, but he thought it was
of little use to increase production
until there is some way of getting
the produce on the market more pro
fitably than is possible now.
''My father was deputy collector OF
customs at Point Isabel in 1856" h
said, when that port was the larg
est west of New Orleans. There j.
no reason why il should not be as
large in the future. All that is re
cessary is the dredging cut of n;
channel and the removal of the ac-
cumulated silt.
"As / understand it, the govern
ment has promised to do this as SooT
