MOVEMENT OF
VALLEY CITRUS
TO START SOON
Experts Estimates Valley
Will Produce Approx
mately 225 Carloads This
Year

The Lower Rio Grande Valley will
produce approximately 2s5 carloads OF
citrus this year. is the prediction Of
Cameron county expert who has made
careful study Of the entire Valley. and
bases his estimate on the number Of
trees coming into bearing this year and
the condition Of the crop a. compared
with last year
The yield will average about the
same as last year. with the exception OF
few small areas which suffered most
from the late frost last March, hc
said. land the number or trees coming
into bearing will almost double the pro-
duction Of last season. The interest the
growers are taking in the marketing
system, headed by John Shary of Shary-
land. indicates that there will be more
orderly marketing Of the crop this year.
and that the fruit will be well graded
and packed"
Shows Effect Of Spraying
The heavy movement OF Valley citrus
will be underway in a few weeks, ac-
cording. 10 reports from all parts of the
Valley. Grape fruit has been on the
market for several weeks. but carload
shipments Of both grape fruit and
oranges will soon be ready. Particular
stress is being placed by growers and
shippers upon the necessity of careful
~ grading and packing fruit, and warn
ings issued against shipment Of such
fruit as IL 'off color.
The effects Of the use OF lime-suI-
phur spray in connection with the de-
struction Of rust mites and the proper
coloring of fruit is plainly evident in
many Of the Valley orchards, experts
state. During the ctrus school last sum
mer. DIR. W. w. Yothers, the famous
Florida entomologist. suggested that the
use Of this spray might prove beneficial
in early coloring Of the fruit as well rs
destroying the rust mites and those
who tried il out state that it's effects in
early colpring j. very apparent One Of
the most noticeable cases Is In the kalb-
fleisch orchard near Mercedes. where
the fruit in one section on the grove.
which was subjected to this spray. has
already turned beautiful golden color.
whereas the fruit in other parts of the
orchard Is just beginning to turn. Ex-
perimcnts with the spray this year may
prove or great value in solving one or
the problems that OF early coloring-
which has confronted the citrus grow
erS of the Valley.
Gets Premium for Fruit
That the best grades OF Valley fruit
will bring good premiums when offered
on the market has recently been demon
strated by r. y. Myrick. San Bcnito
grower. who has fifteen acres planted to
citrus. Mr.. Myrick secured twelve
prizes. five of them firsts, at various
fairs and citrus expositions last year.
and this year he has received mn offer
Of premium Of Sl.O0 per box on his
fruit the offer being made by one or
