Service of Weather Bureau at

Enlarged, Is Report

United States weather bureau re
ports on the stages Of the Rio
Grande, between FL Paso and
Brownsville, are to be issued by
the United States weather bureau
at San Antonio as soon as ali sta
tions can be established and the de
tails of the plan worked out. ac-

mo
The weather bureau at San An
tonic, of which j. II. Jarboe is IN
charge, has just announced that its
service is 20 be greatly extended
soon after the first Of February
The proposed improvement, il was
said. will affect not only the city
of San Antonio, but all of south
west Texas, and which will include
the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
One of the most important phaz-
es Of the Improvement, it was said
will be that reports will be received
promptly at the office in San An
tonic REGARDING the conditions Of
the Nueces, Rio Grande, Colorado.
Guadalupe. and San Antonio rivers.
Daily reports will be sent 10 the San
Antonio office from various report
ing stations to be established along
the course of the rivers named.
Heretofore, the Lower Rio Gran
de Valley has received reports on
the stage of the border stream from
the Houston office, but the new
plan contemplates assembling such
reports at San Antonio and distrib-
uting them from that point. 1t was
said at the Chamber of Commerce
in Brownsville today that the Hous-
ton reports on the Rio Grande stage
have been inadequate, that the y have
not been received in time To do
much good to farmers and land
owners on the lower reaches Of the
stream, and also that the reports
did not cover the condition far
enough up the river TO enable per
sons to Judge of the exact condition
of the river.
II is also claimed here that such
reports as are received are based
on So many different methods Of
measurement that it has been almost
impossible to know exactly what was
happening up stream. 1t was po mt
ed out that in some cases the mea-
surement was based on sea l-vel.
Others on local levels, others from
the normal or subnormal stage of
the river at the time OF measure
ment.
The Brownsville Chamber Of Com
merce expects to take mp the ques-
tion Of the Rio Grande forecasts with
the San Antonio weather bureau,
with the idea Of cooperating and
also pointing out the character Of
information that il is felt will be
most needed to be Of benefit to this

il with all its soul" declared Mrs.
Julia Montgomery, originator of the
special week idea. who spent yester-

of vegetables. The shipments win
not be sent forward in carload lots,
but will be handled in whatever
fashion is best suited to loading ar
rangements, according to Mr.. Hahn
eS-
II am particularly anxious that
the first shipment should be Of spe-
cially selected fruit" said Mr.. Hahn
es. Eve are making tremendous
effort 10 nut the Valley on the map
IN Houston. All the hotels have al
ready agreed that during that week
they will serve no citrus fruits eX-
cent those grown in the Valley. and
with every service TO their guests
will 20 notice that this is Rio
Grandc Valley fruit. We are now
working to put displays Of this
fruit in every window on Main
Street for that week and in various
ways we are trying to get this in
formation TO our peoplc."
Mr.. Haincs also asks the aid %
The people cf the Valley At large,
as follows:
First. | want as many photo
graphs, unmounted. Of Valley or
chards and other features connected
with the citrus fruit industry as /
can get. Have these photographs
sent me at once and on the back Of
each have the man who owns il
write his name and address. These
photographs will be returned TO
them.
Second. | would like to get as
many recipes from the ladies in the
Valley as we can get, Of methods Of
preparing these various fruits for
the table. ii you have any preserv-
90 figs. lemon marmalde made from
tho pouderosa lemon, honey or other
commodities of especial interest,
you could send Us at the same time,
we could make good use of them in
