RISE
INRIOCRANDE
ISNOTS SERIOUS
All Points Report Today That
Border Stream is Still Well
Within its Banks

Alarming reports from Rio Grande
City yesterday ito the contrary not
withstanding," the latest rise in the
Rio Grande, which developed yester-
day at all points between Browns
vile and Rio Grande City, did not
reach the tops of the banks at any
point on the American side, so far
as reported, and nowhere did water
touch the levees.
Roma early today reported that
the river had fallen a foot and a
half there over night, and Rio Grande
City early today reported that it was
beginning to fall there, and that the
water had gone out of its banks only
in low places. At IL O'Clock fall
of about an inch had been recorded.
Mission at 10 o'clock reported that
the river was 1876 feet, or about
twelve feet above normal, and rising
slowly. Two hours later. however.
it appeared to have started receding.
Sam Fordyce at 10 O'Clock reported
the stage at 16 feet, and rising, but
it probably began falling there be-
fore the receding started at Mission.
At Pharr at l o'clock this after
noon the measurement was 9S.7 feet,
sea level measurement, or about four
feet under the highwater mark. The
San Benito pumping plant at the same
our reported it at 5l.2 sea level
measurement, and under the mark
made by the earlier rise this spring.
The river was still rising slowly at
San Benito and Pharr this afternoon.
The river ut Brownsville this morn
ing was still considerably below its
banks, and little fear was felt here
Of a more serious situation than that
which occurred in the preceding rise.
The cleft that appeared in the
bank of the river, near the Model
Laundry, following the last rise, is
giving city officials and property
owners in the neighborhood no little
concern. The affected ground was
covered with bags of sand last night.
when the rise began to appear. A
10000 pound unused boiler, which
has been standing at the foot of
Thirteenth street for long time, was
bought by the city as junk and
dumped into the river at that point
last night in the hope that it will as

A Citrus Fruits
Budding Story
With q Moral

The inexperience and foolhardiness Of
many Valley farmers about the time
they commence to think about going in
10 the citrus game has produced many
remarkable stories, one of which. vouch-
ed for by government official, follows /:
Two farmers lived OH adjoining farms.
Both had 500 seedlings growing. And
il was time to bud them.
Along came a nurseryman. He inter
viewed farmer number one and made
him "A proposition TO bud the trees for
three cents each, or S2i. Asked where
he was going TO get his stuff he finally
and reluctantly explained that several
Valley citrus growers employed him to
trim up their trees and that he was
simply going 10 use some Of the trim
mings. Farmer No. ] told him 70 beat
i. The nurseryman went 10 farmer No
2 and budded the trees for S2i.
Another nurseryman came along and
approached farmer No. ]. told him he
would bud his trees for eight cents each
The farmer asked him where he was
going TO get his stuff The nursery
man told him to come along and see
also to investigate his methods. Farm
ed No. told him TO go ahead and bud
the trees.
Along came a man who wanted eight
hundred budded citrus trees. He beg
ged farmer No. ! to sell him his trees
for Sl.75 as they stood and take care OF
them for few months. Farmer No. |
told him he didn't want to sell but that
his neighbor needed some money and
might sell. While the buyer was going
TO the ncighbor, Farmer No. / called W
hiS friend and told him what was com
ing.
The buyer looked al the trees and told
him ec didn't want them. but finally
bought them for SIPS. Farmer No. =
had dropped four hundred dollars IN AL
effort TO save forty dollars and ii II,
hadn't sold the trees would have drop
ped fortune.
