Old newspapers. the bane of the order

street cleaner. are expected To play "A
prominent part in putting the first wa
teriaclons on tha market next spring
from the Lower Rio Grandc Valley.
The Valley has established record
for placing early melons on the market.
Melon growers generally plant the melon
seed in late February or early March,
but this year f.. c. and 4. V. fznaga.
who farm on the Co;ulla ranch in the
extreme northern end OF Cameron coun-
ty, expect to plant sixty acres 10 melons
early in January. utilizing old newspa-
pers To protect the plants during the
cool nights of late January and early
February.
Ths year the Yxnaras tried out this
method on fourteen acres. and it proved
so successful they decided to plant sixty
acres 10 melons next year. utilizing ola
newspapers 10 protect the plants. Eight
hundred pounds Of old newspapers were
purchased by them yesterday at the
Brownsville Herald Office. and arrange
ments were made 10 secure a further
supply in the event that quantity is not
sufficient.
Many growers have used paper sacks
for the purpose OF protecting young
plants, but the Yznagas found tn sys-
TEN too slow and expensive for their
large melon acreage. Last year they
tried Old newspapers placed over the
piants on upright sticks and found them
far cheaper and more convenient to han
die than the paper sacks. The papers
are fastened with sticks 70 one side ID
the plant and on cool nights are placed
over the plant and weighted down with
dirt. when the sun comes out the fol-
lowing morning the dirt Is moved and
the plant exposed to the sunshine. In
the event OF rain the old news papers are
replaced with new ones, nj about one
tenth the cost. they state, OF replacing
paper sacks.
The Yznagas farm Approximately 210
acres. their lands being located out Of
the irrigated sections. but through the
application Of dry farming methods the
extremely rich soil produces tremendous
crops. Their cotton fields often pro
duce a bale 20 the acre. and melons
weighing 80 to rs pounds are often
shipped from their fields. In fact. their
melons will average around 80 pounds
each. and the earliest often sell from
$3.50 10 $500 each. They raise the Tom
Watson variety exclusively.
Last year they had fourteen acres
planted 10 melons and made the earliest
shipment in the United States They
had shipped almost two carloads when
the June floods destroyed the entire
crop. They state that while the flood
resulted in considerable financial loss
last year. il filled the soil with moisture
and practically assured bumper crop
of both melons and cotton next year.
BY making Their paintings in Janr-
airy and carefully protecting the young
plants they expect 10 get their earliest
melons on The market at least a month
earlier than in past years. and unless
an exceptionally bad cold spell strikes
the Valley during the latter part Of Feb
ruary they feel assured they will sur
pass all previous records.
