clincd, several local operators threw

caught lot of stop loss orders and

LA FERIA FARMER
LIKES VALLEY NOW

Ray Brown of Kansas City. didn't
like the Valley when he came to La
Feria in 1928 and he made no bones
about saying so. But he has changed
his tune now. In fact he isn't thinking
about going back to his old home now,
as bad as he hated to leave it.
His father bought so acres Of land on
the La Feria tract for $3.50 per ac. :
and Mr.. Brown thought it was a fool
ish investment. But he cleared the
land and planted it to citrus trees
early in 1923. Early this year he ~
ceived an offer of $50, 900 for the farm,
which was considerably more than
twice what he had paid for it.
In 1923 he grew a crop of broom corn
between the young trees which furnish
ed a good living and helped materially
with development costs. Cucumber
and canteloupes were raised this year.
81 like the Valley" he said. "be-
cause it offers an opportunity for ease
which cannot be found anywhere else.
l like it also because of its nearly per-
feet climate and the high type Of cit
izenship to be found here"
