dustry Causes OPP
timism.
By FRED w. MALLY

The atmosphere of agriculture In
South Texas is charged with the
spirit of expansion, and new accom-
plishments. With the facts becoming
known showing the immense volume
of approximately millions of dollars
worth of infertile eggs and poultry
products sold TO Mexico. South Texas
has awakened to its opportunity, and
there is a dawn of a new era which
points to great things in store for
the intelligent, progressive poultry
men.
The fact that approximately 800
cars of breeding cattle have been e1-
ported TO Mexico, and the further
fact that most of these were dairy
cattle. has become an inspiration to
the cattlemen of South Texas.
The period of deflation, for time
operated as serious handicap. es-
pecially to the cattlemen and Southern
Texas. During the past year, how
ever, the livestock industry has be-
come stabilized, and the demands for
livestock products, as we'll as breeding
animals, is again gaining ground. The
immediate future of the cattle and
other livestock industries is bright
and promising.

The results secured from the orange
groves and orchards Of grapefruit,
have become the inspiration for Il
fixed and definite program of planting
Of grapefruit and orange groves, and
has made the citrus industry a fixei
part of the agricultural policy of
South Texas. Along with the citrus
industry, commercial orchards in other
fruits, especially Of plums, grapts,
dewberries, and pecans. are also due
to have a rapid increase in develop
ment beginning with the present sea-
son.
The great profits which have come
to the growers Of spinach, onions, and
other truck crops under irrigation, has
caused considerable expansion Of acre
age among the South Texas growers,
and more especially has become the
controlling factor in large tide of
immigration. With thousands of hon T
