VALLEY CITRUS
INDUSTRY WILL
GROW RAPIDLY
]. A Hickman Point Out Fu-
ture Possibilities Of Indus
try at Mission Rotary
Meet TODAY

Speaking before the Rotary club OF
Mission at their weekly luncheon today
J. A. Hickman OF Rio Hondo outlined
the plans OF the Rio Grande Citrus
Growers Exchange for the development
of the citrus industry in the Valley, in
which he painted a word picture of the
possibilities of the industry if present
plans are carried out. Mr. Hickman IN
tends to visit every town in the Valley
in his campaign in promotion of the cat
rus industry. he announced at the Ro-
tary meeting.
Mr.. Hickman called attention TO the
work Of the Growers Exchange already
accomplished. lie stated that when IL
was impossible to finance the Exchange
in the Valley. Houston business men
came 10 the Valleys assistance and fl
nances for handling this years crop
were secured. In addition TO this the
Rotary club of Houston proposes 10
ugain put on Valley citrus week in
tha, city some time in November and
will handle Valley fruit without middle
mems charges. giving the Valley grower
the retail sale price for all fruit dis
posed Of
Mr.. Hickman called upon the Mission
Rotarians to assist the Exchange in in
ducing citrus growers 10 refrain from
picking citrus before November l5. Tie
stated that several carload of grapefruit
which had been received on the Houston
market last week from Florida had to be
rejected because Of its unripe condition
and the fact that il had been artifieially
colored. lie stated that If the Exchange
is to secure the greatest profit for the
growers they must abide by it's rules re-
garding the picking of fruit.
More Packing Plants Promised
Packing pants similar TO the one now
nearing completion at Harlingen will be
erected at Mission. McAllen. Donna.
Mercedes and Brownsville. by the time
the 1928 crop is ready for market, If the
present plans of the Growers Exchange
materialze. Mr.. Hickman expressed
himself as confident that these plants
would be operating TO capacity during
the packing season within two or three
years. The Harlingcn plant will take
care OF the crop this year, and the FIX
change has made arrangements with the
Gulf Coast Lines TO give Valley growers
q special consolidation rate whereby
citrus can be shipped from all Valley
points 10 liarlingen in field baskets at
an extremely low rate. The ruling made
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
few years ago permitting railroads to
make special concentration rates of this
character VII be applied in this case.
Interest in Industry Growing
Interest in the development of the in
dustry has been given great impetus in
the few months which have elapsed
since the Citrus Growers Exchange was
organized. At Mission almost thou
sand acres are now ready for the plant
ings and in every other community in
the upper Valley similar condition cx-
lists. In the Brownsville section. n large
acreage Of citrus will be planted this
year. hut il has been impossible To COM
pile q definite estimate of the total
acreage.

VALUE OF VALLEY CITRUS
WILL EXCEED .$15,OOO,OOO
IN 5 YEARS, HICKMAN SAYS
{ NcAilen Monitor }

Declaring that the million and half
trees already planted in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley will yield the enormous
sum of between fifteen and twenty mil
lion dollars to the growers within the
next five years. J. A. Hickman. presl-
dent OF the Lower Rio Grande Valley
Citrus Growers Exchange. took the 10
cal Rotary club BY storm. and demon
strated to them the necessity Of getting
behind the citrus fruit industry in this
section.
Mr. Hickman's address was in line
with the Rotary program built up on the
Citrus Industry of the Valley and in
charge of Program Chairman O. T..
Archer. Through Mr.. Archer's invita-
tion Mr. Hickman came up from his Rio
Ilondo home to deliver an educational
talk To the club.
In prefacing his remarks Mr.. IIiek-
man stated that he had spent eight
years near Rio Hondo. experimenting
with truck and field crops and had
planted small portion Of his acreage
to citrus fruit BY careful elimination
and watching he soon came to the opin-
ion that citrus fruit was the one best
bet for this section.
This brought him to another phase
Of the citrus business. that of stand
ardzation Of fruit. curing and market
ing. Realizing the scarcity of finances
in the Valley he made trip to Hous-
ton. where in conversation with one Of
Houston's livest business men. he was
assured of financial assistance up 10
$1,000. Coming back TO the Valley he
solicited the support OF number Of
growers in the plan to organize a citrus

POLITICAL SITUATION IN
ROME IS CAUSE OF WORRY


ROME. Oct. l6.-The situation
arising out of the growing power Of
the Fascist or extreme nationalists
is apparently nearing the breaking

ulation in political circles. The re-
suit confidently predicted j. the re-
tirement Of the Facta cabinet and
the formation Of ministry either
composed exclusively Of or contain

AUTO TEAM ACCIDENT
Everett Car Ran Into Peters
Team on Highway 20 SUM-
day Evening.

An accident which might have
resulted more seriously took place
in Eagle River on Sunday evening
about $50 o'clock when an auto
driven by Charles butcher plough
cd into a team driven by Mr.. Pet
ers of Sundsten district.
The accident took place before
the home of Emil Heehn in the
southwest part of town almost
directly under an arc light. Mr..
Peters was on his way from town
and was on the right side of the
road. A neighbOr was seated be-
side him. Mr.. butcher was driv-
ing toward town at a fast pace
in the Everett Buick car. 1t
seems that the car veered to the
wrong side of the road and struck
the team squarely, killing one
horse and Gripping the other
very badly.
Mr.. Peters has been ATTENDED
since by DIR. Meyer who says that
a courie of ribs may be cracked
but otherwise is remarkably saw
ed. Except for slight cuts the
other men were not injured.

REMEMBERS ARMISTICE
Saturday, Nov. 18th Observ-
ed BY Practically All Ma
tons of the World.

Who does not remember the
days of suspense which were up
on us after the sinking of the
Lusitania. the Sussex and other
ships where American citizens
men, women and children perish
ed? Who does not remember the
feeling of protest against Ger
many's insOlence when she tried
TO make American ships sail
along routes chosen by herself?
And who does not remember the
deep rumblings Of anger when
Germany declared her policy of
unrestricted submarine warfare?
The 100000 men who answer
ed the call of their president for
soldiers and sailors and all kinds
of war workmen do not forget.
Seventy one thousand seven hun
dred paid with their lives the su-
preme sacrifice and 275,OOO all
told, were immediate casualties
of the war, while the crippled
and diseased are still TO be found
in sanatoriums and hospitals all
over our country.
At the various national ceme-
teries of the world the chief ex-
ecutives, presidents and kings
placed wreaths of flowers on the
graves of the unknown soldiers.
1t is mentioned by one cOrrespOn-
dent that a woman, probably a
mother, placed a wreath on the
unknown American soldiers grave
at Arlington, while the tears
streamed down her cheeks. Was
it her son who was buried there?
Who, but God knows?
And still, as yet, we rather live
in spirit of Armistice Day when
men laid down their arms we
planned peace terms, and tried to
plan for that peace to be a per-
manent one wherein no nation
should rise against another in
armed conflict but to settle their
differences by conferences.
Four years ago, 1t seems as
yesterday when the wires flashed
the news of the Armistice. How
the whistles and gOngs hOoted
and the bells rang. How the pop
ulace laughed and wept in joyl
How we marched the streets and
played like foOlsl When Johnny
Comes Marching Home" was the
tune we whistled and made the
women whistle with US. And now,
while statesmen wrangle and
kings strive we pray from our in
most hearts May peace be on
earth; goodwill among men,.

HERDS ARE INCREASING
Elk and Deer in State Park at
Trout Lake Multiply Rap
idly, Says Head Ranger.

According to p. c. Christensen,
head ranger for the state forestry
division. deer and elk in the pre-
serve on Trout lake in Villas coun-
ty are multiplying rapidly and
number in the grand total some
thing like three hundred animals.
Several years ago the state con-
servation commission secured over
thirty elk from Jackson Hole, Wy
oming, to place in their preserve
at Trout lake. During the trans
portation of the animals, the
train was wrecked and several
killed and injured. On top of
that, it was found that the alti-
tude was something over a mile
less than at Jackson Hole, and as
a result, the animals sickened
and died.
Later on another car load was
shipped to Trout lake. Under the
care of a state veterinary, most
of this shipment was saved, some
twenty-eight in number. Since
that time they have been multi
plying very satisfactorily, and a
few years more will see the herd
to a maximum. Possibly then
they will be turned loose in the
wildness of Northern Villas coun-
".
In a drive made this fall to Sc
cure eight buck deer for a pre-
serve in some other state, it was
found that there were something
like three hundred deer in the
enclosed area of the Villas county
preserve. In one drive the rangers
bagged nearly a hundred deer.
This was made from just one
corner, and the estimate of three
hundred is very conservative.
Mr.. Christensen is head forest
ranger for the Wisconsin Conser-
walton Commission, taking the
place of Ellis Weaver who resign
ed some time ago to become a
conservation warden.
The preserve fronts on the
main highway from Trout lake
to Boulder Junction and one trav-
els over a mile alongside the high
wire fence. 1t is not unusual ia
see from one to twenty deer, with
an occasional elk, alongside. the
highway while motoring through
the preserve. Tourists have found
this drive to be wonderful in
scenic attractions, not alone see.
ing elk and deer, but in the ma.
tural foliage beauties one finds
in a hardwood country during
the sunshine season.
