dustry has grown by leaps and bounds
and the indications are that we will
soon occupy a place in the citrus fruit
world Of equal rank with that Of Cal
ifornia and Florida.
Two Million Trees.
Some idea may be had of the extern
siveness of this industry. when we
learn that up to June 1, 1921, there had
been about million citrus fruit trees
set out In orchards. The following year
there were about 100000 more trees
set out. while this past year the plant
ings exceeded 100000 trees. Thus we
sec there are now about 100000 citrus
trees in the Lower Rio Grandc Valley.
During the 1920 and 1921 seasons. the
total shipment from the Valley was ap-
proximately cars Of citrus fruit. The
following year there were 80 ears. This
past year the total shipment was 107
cars. Consequently. we realize that tha
main reason we have not heard much
Regarding the citrus industry in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. has been be-
cause il has not reached the stage
where ii could occupy much place in
the agricultural development of Tex
as, until the last five years.
Sixty Per Cent Grapefruit.
Sixty per cent OF NIL the citrus fruit
trees In the Valley are grapefruit:
thirty-five per cent are oranges; and
the remainder are lemons. lines and
kumquats. During the past year there
has been an increased demand for or
anges and the indications are. that ~
few years there will be nm equal

The ears were held until Sunday morn
ing when Judge Epperson was called.
and throughout thu cntiIe day out upon
the road he listened to the stories Of
the owners Of the ears which had been

Under the Labor Agency Law as
amended by the last Legislature il Is a
difficult matter to transport labor
from the Valley. The law provides that
any one doing SO lawfully must hold a
labor agency license issued by the
State Labor Commissioner and maintain
an office and records open 10 the Com
mi .sioncr's representatives. There are
many other minor requirements. and
Judge Dixon. before whom the labor
eases in McAllcn have been tried. says
that the farmers Of the Valley, who are
determined that their labor shall not

some provision Of the law which viii
cover any attempt 10 transport labor.
The officers are cooperating with the
farmers in an enthusiastic manner TO
the end that the farmers nj this busv

labor problems. The efforts being put

STATUS OF THE CTR US
FRUIT INDUSTRY IN THE
LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY

The following are excerpts from an
address delivered by Louis III. Ais
meyer. Cameron county farm agent.
Tuesday at the farmers short course be-
ing held at College Station.
In thinking of the status of the citrus
fruit industry in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. The first thing to inform oursel-
YES II as to the location Of this favor
ed section OF Texas. The Valley. as II
is commonly called. is composed Of
Cameron, Hidalgo, Willacy. and Starr
counties. and is located in the most
southern part of the mainland Of the
United States. and Is bordercd on the
south BY the Rio Grande River.
II has only been within the last few
years that we have heard much con-
cerning the citrus fruit industry in the
Valley. The question naturalley asked is,
why have we not heard more of il be-
fore.
The development Of the Valley began
with the advent Of the railroad about
twenty years ago. Then followed the de-
velopment of extensive irrigation sys-
TENS and land holdings. Some few cit
rus trees were planted at that time >
others n few years later, but most Of
these were for home use and very few
Of them for orchards. Many Of the first
paintings were killed in the freeze
which we had in 1911 and others were
killed in the freezes during December T
1917 and January 1918. Thus citrus
fruit growing did not reach CONNER
riat stage unfii ahont five vpavu nro
when the results OF the cultivation OF
the mature orchards became generally
known. Since then. the citrus fruit in
