AGRICULTURAL, industrial and commercial
activity. is revealed in the 80 packed
pages of the Valley Industrial and Mid
Winter edition of the Brownsville Her
al, published on Sunday, Dec. 21, and
recently arrived in this temporarily
fr;gid zone. Without any show of I'M
modesty, the Herald asserts that the
bic edition is an achievement, since 1T
tells the story of great country as 1t
has never been told before, and was
produced in a small city plant Of three
lnotypes, a flat-bed press and an "ad
alley" Of limited equipment-and this
without interfering with the regular
daily emergence Of the paper.
eThe pride of the Herald is warrant
ed, So fine an edition, with the exhibit
ton strengthened by pictorial rein
forcements, would mark an achievement
for a city and publishing plant of twice
Brownsville's size and the Herald's ca
pacity. The Rio Grande Valley is for
tunate in it's possession of such an en-
terprising spokesman. The spokesman
is fortunate in having a great section
10 speak for. To both The Journal ex-
tends felicitations.'

The Honking Nuisance

We suggest TO our automobile sales
men that hereafter, when demonstrate
ing the working of a car to a pros
pective buyer, they explain that the
horn is to be used only as a warning,
not to be converted into nuisance.
Some of our drivers seem to be under
the impression that there is no use to
have horn attached to the car unless
it is footed all the time.
Every time there is traffic jam on
one of the streets, some of the hurry-up
drivers in the lineup try to clear the
way by working the horn overtime.
Even when a traffic officer halts cars
going in one direction some of those
who have taken their feet off the gas
go to work on the horn.
One of the delusions of the average
automobile driver is that he has the
right of way. If his progress is mo-
mentarily impeded, he tries to remove
the obstacle with the horn.
Even at the hour of worship on Sun
day thoughtless drivers keep up an in
cessant footing while passing a church.
Disturbing public worship used to be a
grave offense, but now it can be done
by automobile drivers with impunity.
If n man doesn't care to enter a house
of worship, he might at least refrain
from disturbing those who do.
A gentleman is one who has a re-
gard for the feelings of others, but
some drivers seem to lose all sense of
propriety when they take hold of n
steering wheel. If one is a gentleman
in the home, in the Office or when walk
ing along the street, he ought not to
forget to be gentleman in an auto
mobile.
The promiscuous honking of auto
mobile horns is nuisance. All that
it does is TO add to the confusion.
We beseech our hurry-up boys first to
learn to drive sanely. and then try to
drive decently.-Commercial Appeal.

MISSOURI TOMATO
GROWERS PROFIT
BY ASA HUTsON,
staff Correspondent Of the st. Louis
GlObe-DemOcrat

The tomato, fabled love apple of the
ancients, is lifting mortgages, creating
bank deposits, purchasing automobiles
and disseminating wealth in Webster
county, where more than 800 carloads
were raised, canned and shipped to
markets in all parts of the United
States this year.
The growing of tomatoes has easily
become one of the leading industries,
If not the leading industry, in Web
ster county. Ward Foster, secretary
of the Marshfeld Chamber of Com
merce estimated that this years to-
mato crop was worth $1,250000.
While Webster county, one of the
Ozark group, specializes also in poul-
try, dairying and raising of small
fruits, its attention has been centered
largely upon the tomato industry,
which has reached high stage Of de-
velopment and now is spreading
throughout the entire Ozark section Of
the state.
A group of far-sighted business men
in Webster county first caught the
possibilities of the tomato industry
and induced the farmers to devote a
few acres Of their land to this crop.
The results We're gratifying. 1t was
discovered that rough, stony land
would grow tomatoes successfully, and
that the acreage return to the grower
greatly exceeded the money yield of
any other crop.
Some of the growers sold as much
as 500 worth of tomatoes from one
acre, but the average ranged between
$40 and $40 an acre. One man can
cultivate about eight or nine acres,
but additional help is required to pick
them. The picking of tomatoes, where
the acreage is not too large, is usually
a family task, the head of the family
and the children doing the bulk of the
work.
Canneries sprang up everywhere IN
Webster County, being located at Dig
gins, Seymour, Rogersville, Niangua,
Marshfeld, Fordland and other points.
Some are located in the country and
are operated by the farmers them
selves. There are said to be 200 can
neries, large and small, in the county.
Marshfield is the center Of the toma
to industry not only in Webster Com-
ty, bat throughout the entire Ozark
region This year about 400 carloads
of canned tomatoes, enough to make up
eight trains of fifty ears each, We're
shipped from Marshfeld to markets
in probably more than twenty states.
The shipments from Marshfield repre-
sented approximately half Of the total
Of the entire county. Seymour ranks
next with shipment Of 176 carloads
this year. Other towns did proportion
ntely as well.
