All Land Rented.

The general interest taken in agri-
cultural activities in the dry farming
section of the Valley is denoted by the
fact that every available acre Of land
i'm the vicinity Of Raymondville has
been rented and will be in cultivation
the coming season. Improved farms are
in great demand in every part of the
county. and there is hardly vacant
house To be found in the county. Cotton
growers from northern Texas have Gag
erly sought lands in the county for the
1923 crop. and recently over fifty far
mers who came to Raymondville with
the object of leasing farm lands for
next season were unable to secure
farms.
The heavy demand for farm lands has
resulted in the clearing Of large a
crcage of brush. in both the Lyford
and Raymondvillc districts, and the
bulk of this acreage will be planted to
cotton next year. Many new farm homes
will be erected. and the county will
make the greatest development in its
history in 1928. Willacy county farmers
state. The cotton acreage Will be- great
ly in excess of that of 1923. and the
heavy rains during the fall months
practically assures a rccord-breaking
crop for the county.

RAILROAD RHYMES
By John Bush

The nation wide railroad shop mems
strike, so far as the Baltimore and
Ohio and it's employees are concerned,
is over; perfect amity is everywhere
evident, the union men to their former
positions have returned, and we now
have a condition for which both the
company and men have so long
yearned. Regardless of seniority and
the injunction issued by Daugherty, or
the rest of the bunk the public may
see in the garbling press, the Balti-
more and Ohio has to the union men
made redress.
In view of the fact that President
Willard has given us kind thoughtful
consideration, we as individuals and
as an organization, are striving to in
crease the production of locomotive
and car construction as an expression
of our appreciation.
Much comment has been made by
the public in regards to the B. & O.,
much of which is true we know. The
roadbed is rough and the trains are
slow, the engines are in such a bad
condition they can scarcely go, but in
a few weeks we will calk all the boiler
leaks and remedy the rumbling of the
main rods and stop the squeaks.
1t is no wonder the trains rumble
along like thunder, when the execu
tives made such a blunder. Had the
strike lasted much longer some of
them would have gone under, and the
whole transportation system would
have been torn asunder. For the
present condition Mr. Willard no one
can blame, and it's truly a shame
that he is the victim of the Wall
street game; but by his just attitude
he has gained most deserved fame,
ing to claim.
How the railroads have been able
to run so we'll no one can tell, for the
engines are rickety from the rails to
the bell. During the two and half
months strike the executives hired
scabs by the herds, and some of them
sure were rare old birds, and their
ability as mechanics we know quite
we'll by the way the roads went to
hell, regardless of the stories the
newspapers tell. Some of them were
hired as mechanics and got the rate
of pay, though they did not know an
arch brick from ball of clay; and
some of them got a fool notion they
could repair the slide valve motion,
although they did not know the lead
from the lap, nor how to bolt on the
eccentric strap. About all those
scales could do was put on a brake
shoe and tighten the brakes with the
adjusting screw, or wipe the head
light refectors, pack steam ram on
the water injector, toot the whistle,
ring the bell and let the rest go to
hell. They polished the cushions on
the cab seat box, but never bothered
the water gauge cocks or the main
rod knocks. Now those tough guys
have all departed and with them
their belongings have carted, and we
union men to repair the power have
started-all of US happy and light
hearted.
