For the past ten years have been
advocating additional transportation
facilities for the Rio Grande Valley
which have been needed for the reas-
on of our fast development and high
freight rates, constantly increasing
during that entire period of time.
My interest in the matter il due to
the fact that know we have reached
that period of development where
we cannot expect 10 advance much
further unless we have better and
more adequate transportation facil-
itles and reasonable freight rates.
Wy assumption is that we raise in
this section more tonnage per acre
than is raised on the same acreage
in any other section Of the United
States. but the buyers do not come
here To buy from US readily for the
reason that when our truck and
other products reach their destina-
tion the freight rates are SO high
that 1t leaves no margin Of profit.
