BUILDING BOOM
FOR VALLEY
IS NEAR

"A real building boom within an
other two or three years"
That is the way Harvey P. Smith,
prominent local architect, sizes up the
situation in the Rio Grande valley.
Mr.. Smith has just returned to his Of
flee after an extensive tour of the
valley, and expressed enthusiasm when
referring to business, crop and build
ing conditions.
~The building situation is plainly
good and activity is increasing In
every town and city of the great val
ley region. If new construction con-
tinues to gain 1 believe we will see
a real boom down there within the
next two or three years." Mr.. Smith
said. Crops are in fine condition
and farmers are finding a ready mar
ket over the world for their prod
ucts."
Mr.. Smith is drawing plans for sew
c-al buildings in the valley, namely a
theater, office, store and bank build
ing for J. Il. Lomax aud associates at
San Benito. This structure, it is ex-
pected, will cost more than 100000.
Plans are also being drawn by Mr..
Smith for college buildings at Browns
vile for the Academy of the Incarnate
Word and Blessed Sacrament. An ad-
ministration building win cost
$4,000; dining hall, rebuilt from
present building. will cost $4,000
two dormitories are planned to be built
at cost Of $4,000.
Work is nearing completion on a
S150,000 hotel building for j. j. Burke
at Harlingen, the plans for which were
drawn by Mr.. Smith.

40, 900 ACRE
TRACT GOULD
FEED CITY

An agricultural development project
which will go far toward aiding per-
petual prosperity for San Antonio was
effectively launched last week when it
was announced that the first unit OF
Medina Valley irrigated farms was
available for colonization and cultiva-
ton.
More than 10000 acres of fertile,
irrigated land are being placed on the
market. IL is estimated that full de-
velopment of these lands will add from
S20.O00.000 to S40,OO0,O00 annually
TO the amount Of money fswing into
San Antonio from its agricultural ter,
ritory. 1t is an economic fundamental
that cities can grow and prosper only
as the land surrounding them is placed
in cultivation and made to produce
natural wealth. The money derived
from the sale of farm products flows
into the city and is exchanged Tor
every conceivable kind Of article and
service.
Since only about 20 per cent of the
land surrounding San Antonio is un-
der cultivation at the present time,
this gigantic development program
will be Of g-eat benefit to this city.
1t is also estimated that from this
one great tract alone, enough food
of all kinds could be produced to sus-
tain the entire population Of San An
tonic.

APPLY AIRPLANE DUSTING
TO LARGE PEACH ORCHARDS

The commercial peach orchard is
the latest crop to receive treatment
by the airplane dusting method for
controlling insect pests. According
to a report received by the Bureau
of Entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture from it's
field station at Fort Valley, Ca, this
process was tried for the first time
in March Of this year. Airplane
busting for cotton fields has been a
demonstrated success, and the out
come of this type of control for in
sects affecting peach trees will be
awaited with interest.
It took an hour and fifty-fve min
utes to dust 10000 peach trees with
a mixture of arsenate of lead and
hydrated lime. The time recorded
included all trips to the landing field
to refill the hopper. For several
months the bureau representative
at the Fort Valley laboratory have
been giving attention to the perfec-
ton of the technique for using air
planes in this way, with the cooper
alton of those who have had previ-
GUS experience in the work at the
boil weevil laboratory at Tallulah,
La. 1t has been necessary to make
of the feeding mechan-
ism of the planes so that the heavy
dust used for peach insect control
work would be evenly distributed.
A thousand acres of peach trees in
will be treated by airplane
during the season, under the super
vision of the Fort Valley laboratory.
It is expected that this work will
yield valuable data on the results,
cost of operation, and other points.
