WILL NOT CLOSE
BORDER PORTS
UNDER new Law
Report that Customs Houses
Will Close Every Night
and or Sunday Proves
Ungrounded

business men of Brownsville were
greatly disturbed this morning by
T. rumor which had been circulated to
the effect that the bridge and ferry
between Brownsville and Matamoros
would be closed every afternoon at 4:30
aud open al $3.50 the following morning.
Inquiry NJ the customs office elicted
the information that VIM. Neale. deputy
collector of customs had received no
instructions to that effect. and SO far
"a Mr.. Neale has been able to ascertain
there is nothing in the new tariff
measure providing for the closing of the
bridge and ferry during the hours the
customs office is closed.
Under the present system three shifts
II customs inspectors are employed at
the bridge and ferry, the ferry operat-
ing until ii o'clock at night and the
bridge remaining open to traffic the
entire % hours. Mr.. Neale has received
10 instructions 10 change this rule. and
he states that he has not been apprised
OF any provision in the new tariff pro-
vid,ng for a change in this respect.
Mexican consul Nillalpando stated
this morning that the rumor that Mexi-
can officials were also considering clos
ing the bridge and ferry TO traffic
during the night was also without foun-
dation.
The report given circulation that
Eagle Pass and Laredo had already
closed their ports during the hours
the customs office is closed arose from
the fact that the United Sssses public
health inspectors had been obliged to
close the port on account of the yellow
fever situation in Tampico. and these
ports are closed only to persons re-
turning from Mexico. The same situa-
tion was presented in Brownsville sew
eral weeks ago. but through the efforts
of Dr. G.. ID. Fairbanks and the coopera-
tion of residents on this side Of the
river regular traffic hours have been
maintained.
The volume of traffic between Browns
Vile and Maiamoros has been increasing
steadily the past year. Figures com
piled by DIR. G. ID. Fairbanks. head of
the United States public health service
in Brownsville. show that during the
year ending June 30. 1922. 677.45l
entered at this port. the figures includ
ing both the ferry and bridge. During
the month of July 56.ss2 entered and
during August this number increased
to 90 66i. The public health service
keeps "a record of the number crossing
from Matamoros. but no record is kept
of the number crossing from Browns
Vile.

VIRGINIA LEADS
In PER CAPITA
FOOD PRODUCTION

Virginia farmers come nearer
ieeding themselves, their city broth
ers and their livestock than the farm
ers Ill any other state in the south.
This information was gathered from
statistics recently sent the Director
of the Extension Division by the
Division of Crop Estimates in Rich
mond. The total cost of the food
and feed needed to supply the people
ana the livestock of the state for one
year is estimated at S436,33S. 900.
The total value of the food and feed
produced in the state during an nv
erage year is SSIG,l7S,0OO. There
are approximately 10000 people
in the state of Virginia. These fig
ures show that for each inhabitant
OF the state, together with the live
stock owned by this inhabitant, there
is a deficit of only $4,000 per capita
in food and feed production.
Similar figures for North Carolina
show that there is deficit of $500
per inhabitant in that state. The
deficits per inhabitant in other
Southern States are as follows:
South Carolina, S7l.OO; Georgia.
$1,000; Florida, S9s.OO; Alabama.
S9l,00; Mississippi, $4,000: Lou
isianu, $500; Maryland, S75.Uu.
These figures should prove OF grca,
interest to those who are fond Of
comparing agricultural progress in
this state with that in other Southern
States. for while it is perfectly true
that several of the big cotton and
tobacco producing states have total
crop values greater than the crop
values in Virginia when the products
mentioned sell high, yet ii is equally
true that Virginia farmers are much
better OFT when the said crops bring,
low prices In other words, the ag-
riculture of Virginia is practically
self-sustaining, for Virginia farmers
not only raise enough food and feed
themselves and THEN animals but an.
proximateiy enough to feed all the
people and livestock in the state
There has been great progress in the
production of food and feed crops in
Virginia since the introduction Of
farm demonstration work in this
state.
