SITE FOR EXPERIMENTAL
STATION NEAR HARL|NGEN

They can no longer say that the Rio
s;rande Valley II the only section of the
state that has not offered 10 donate a
site for nm agricultural experiment sta
tion after the state legislature has been
generous enough 10 make an appropria-
tion for its establishment and nlain-
tenance- was the comment of mem
Der Of the Harlingen Chamber Of Com
merce. who reported Saturday afternoon
that Charles Perry. owner of large
acreage in the vicinity ~ iIarIingen has
offered TO donate 100 acres. four miles
north of that city. a. site for the pro-
posed station. The announcement that
this land will be decided over to the state
il ii " accepted. was sent 10 the loca-
ing board Saturday.
The land altered by Mr.. Perry II To-
cated four miles north ef IIarlingen on
the south side Of the Djo dc Aqua grant
and Il considered among the most fertile
land 10 be found in the Valley. II Is
still lin thc BRUSH but Mr. Perry gave
the assurance tha. il would be cleared
free Of cost % the agricultural expert
snent service II the offer il accepted.
There are 400 acres in the tract owned
By Mr.. Perry. and he offers any 100
acres the locating board may select. A
GO-foot highway leading a. the station
~ also assured IL the site should be Sc
iecfed.
The statement was made when the
conmitte headed by Director Young
blood first came 10 the Valley. that the
Rio Grande Valley was the only section
of the state that had not offered 10
donate n site after being granted an ex-
pertinent station the Harlinzen resi-
dent stated "A few days after this an
nouncemcns was made. Mr.. Perry tele-
phoned the iIarlingen Chamber Of Com
mcrce that he would donate 80 acres for
the station. and upon bring informed
that nj least 100 acres would be required.
he promptly raised the ante and said
that he would donate the 100 acres.

would not assist In clearing the land he
would do ii himself. guaranteeing that

viouSly submitted included the donation
of 80 acres Of land. which would neces-
state the purchase Of ut least 20 acres
